Hello all,

This is a problem that has only affected me so bc e MW2 (not even Vanguard caused this.)

When I go to connect to a match sometimes, it gets stuck on “searching for match… <200ms” all the time. Sometimes, I can temporarily fix it by either A) using a VPN or B) going to DMZ/MP, where I will get a consistent 55ms-1.x ms match.

I play on PC, have a very reliable, very fast non-WiFi connection. My k/d is 1.17 on this game, it was marginally higher on WZ1, and this problem had persisted since release. Like I said, sometimes I can “fix” it, but at this exact moment, I’ve tried EVERYTHING have had the same problem for over 4 hours now. I am 99% sure I’m not shadowbanned, seeing as I tried to submit an appeal and no reports were filed against my account, therefore there was nothing to appeal, and I’ve never used hacks on this or any CoD title.

Any clues what this could be and/or how to fix this once and for all? I’ve already submitted over 10 tickets to Activision but Lord knows that will get me nowhere.

Thanks!
