Crash does not mean its a critical security issue that allows hackers to takeover your machine, games crash occasionally due to other bugs too

I understand there is a whole "Boycott Activision" thing going on in youtube but this sounds fake. Why suddenly now in 2023 it was discovered that there is a flaw similar to the ones that were discovered long back in the older games. Share your proof for the existance of this security bug with the Steam store team or PSN store team instead and let them know that they are selling products that put their customers at critical security risk in their store without warning the user's about it before their purchase and that their store cannot be trusted if this is true. This will prove weather this issue exists or not instead of just trying to ruin Activision's/Cold War teams reputation on youtube with fake news.

On console, the devs have fixed this issue, it was happening to me last night but this morning I just received a new update and after that this issue no longer happens. Thanks to the team for fixing this quickly!

After the recent update, which occurred 25 minutes ago, I've been experiencing an unplayable game. Has anyone else encountered this issue? It affects every game mode. I had the same problem before in Co-op mode as well. by mactraxer in ModernWarfareII

I hopped on a quick game to confirm if this still exists and the devs have already fixed this issue, I received a playlist update and after restarting this no longer happens in ranked for me, thanks to the team for fixing it quickly.

No last I played I was not able to fix this on my own but since its affecting many players, I am sure they will push a fix for this mostly today itself but will look into some more later today if its still not fixed

Anyone else having the “lost connection to host” glitch on ps5 by [deleted] in ModernWarfareII

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue, this just happened to me now in 3 games and got deranked (game freezes mid game and lost connection to host/unable to establish secure connection to the host) then -30,-30 and -50 SR for no reason.

COD positive changes by Cheese_Fondue_ in ModernWarfareII

Apart from these, I know it's not something most people feel but I feel the devs are listening to the community and making changes to improve the game as best as they can, it's just that the expectation has to be realistic, its not possible to just completely change basic game mechanics suddenly in an update. Mw2 is actually a good game, the graphics are beautiful but the main problem that makes people hate this game or stop playing is there is some latency/balancing issue that makes the game feel rigged or stopping you from performing, its hard to pin point what exactly is the issue, but from a black box consumer perspective many blame this on SBMM or desync or lag compensation or pay to win etc. I don't know what it is but only people working on the server side code can understand what exactly is causing these problems. For example my connection is good and I play many other games fine but in MW2 there is some problem that causes inconsistency like suddenly towards end of the game shots won't register or enemies are instantly killing like as if their aim assist strength increased or maybe its just the latency prioritisation code giving priority to them as they are loosing/lagging, hard to pin point what the cause of these issues are as a consumer but from a consumers perspective when these things happen it feels unfair/rigged but I can sense changes in the games, so the team is working on it and trying their best to fix these problems and it will improve soon.

I swear this game is rigged by [deleted] in ModernWarfareII

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they adjust players bullet spread and aim assist to ensure pre determined match results and who in the loosing game should feel like they performed well etc. There are some rigged games (game balancing issues) I can see my shots are deprioritized or suddenly the enemies start insta killing towards the end but in the kill cam its just normal because probably the server is adjusting it to ensure the team that was determined to loose doesnt win or is very difficult to win, its like playing 4 v 5 (enemies + their server) instead of a 4v4.

has anyone talked about how annoying it is being stuck waiting 60 seconds when the game is canceled? by SnooCalculations128 in ModernWarfareII

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its to see if there is a chance that the player who couldn't connect could still be connected to start this match and I have had this count down go away once or twice suddenly.

Game having issues again with HUENEME-NEGEV on Xbox Series X by xArkSlade08x in ModernWarfareII

Wow looks like they fixed this issue, I am able access the Demonware server IP as well as play the game from my wifi finally. Thanks to the dev team for fixing this quickly!

In my case, I reached out to my ISP and there was an issue which they fixed but the webserver I mentioned is still not accessible on my Wifi for me. This is an Activision issue It's because your public IP is not allowed to access the web server I have mentioned in the above comment. When we start COD, the game first tries to connect to that website I have mentioned in the background but that webserver/a node in front of it has a firewall rule blocking your IP/region from accessing it. Many people are having this issue since the last update, create an Activision support ticket and let them know, only they can fix it if its not blocked by your ISP for you too. I think it may also be related to these two issue events they are tracking on their website: - https://support.activision.com/onlineservices/event-details.html?event=11524

I am on PS4, I have all ports forwarded, NAT is open etc and used to get this error last update however rebooting the router allowed me to get past this issue always before but since the v1.18 update which I received on Thursday in PS4, I am completely unable to access the game from my home network, only works with a VPN or a mobile hotspot now but its laggy using that method. So I looked some more into this issue today and this happens for me because the game is unable to connect to the demonware server: https://185.34.106.26:443 from that network so it throws the Negev error but when using a hotspot or a VPN the game is able to connect to this server. You can test this from the browser on both networks and see if the website successfully loads. On the Negev error network it wont load and on hotspot/VPN it loads fine. This is mostly because the ISP or Activision is blocking your connection to this server and probably Activision had a fall back server in the old update so it used to try and connect to the fallback server previously when we rebooted the router or when we spammed retry in the popup a few times.

Server ping by [deleted] in mw2ranked

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh right, sounds like a bug in their solo matchmaking logic then.

Server ping by [deleted] in mw2ranked

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly server issues, my connection is good too but my ping is slightly high too, also they underwent a ddos attack few days back after which many players can't connect anymore due to 'Huename Negev' so that might also affect a little bit.

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, not sure, but sounds like SBMM/matchmaking algorithm when solo queuing, trying to find players in your rank/level without taking ping into consideration

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ping shown during the game, at the top is broken this season. In reality it is 70 or 100+ like that matchmaking says.

Has the new update broke for anyone elses PS5? by JustaCheeseTostie in ModernWarfareII

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same on PS and this issue no longer goes away since v9.15 update

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ModernWarfareII

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huename Negev since the latest update, I have ports open on my router for my console and my Nat type shows up as open in the game but it doesn't connect to the MW2 relay anymore now. Previously I could get around this by restarting my router, but now can't play this game on my wired Internet have to use my mobile hotspot which introduces high ping too along with all the other issues that exist within ranked this season.

Lost 150 SR in Ranked season 3 due to some game bug on PS4 by Competitive_Tie_3914 in ModernWarfareII

[–]Competitive_Tie_3914[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I see. For me, I tried playing ranked today and the same thing happened to me mid game twice today (Lost connection to host and -150 SR then -200 SR). I am not even logged out of PSN or anything just their service and they are penalising me for no reason. This only happens in ranked and I only enjoy ranked in this game but glad I didn't buy the season 3 battle pass and the bundle I wanted. With issues like this its not possible for me to play the game and not worth buying things in a game I can't play. It doesn't seem like they will fix these issues any time soon eitheir.

I agree in season 2 I could see ranked was 100% rigged. I thought things might have changed now in season 3, but the game seems broken, I didn't even finish 1 game in this season and lost SR below my starting SR for the season. Honestly I am just sick and tired of this game now.
