MW2 game keeps freezing mid game

Azaan Choudhry · Nov 7, 2022

My mw2 game keeps freezing mid match and I don’t know what to do! I start it up normally and start a game but maybe 2 minutes into the game it freezes and I’m forced to close the app sometimes even reset the console for me to join back. I’m on the Xbox series s and have plenty of space on my Internal Hard drive. I’ve tried all possible trouble shooting options but none of worked. This is an issue just with the mw2 game, they were but not limited to 1. Restarting the console 2. Resetting my controller 3. deleting the game and reinstalling it 4.. clearing MAC address 4. Hard resetting console and controller 5. Checking off all in game settings on call of duty (graphic settings and motion settings primarily to help the console from freezing none of have worked) 6. Moving my Xbox to a better suitable location to avoid overheating (the console is directly next to me) 7. Connecting via Ethernet to my router which is right next to me. It appears it only freezes when I’m playing mw2, this is an issue I’m only facing in my friends group even though they all have Xbox Series S and also play mw2. I’ve contacted support via phone and they were of no help. I’ve paid 70 dollars for this game just for it to not work properly which is absurd please help me if you can. Thank you!

Sounds like this game was made and designed for programmers. Why in the hell am I required to reinvent the Flux capacitor just to play a game that is supposed to be a stress reliever?

Has this been resolved yet? I am still having this issue. Every game I load into does it. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

If that’s the case it does it with the STB also.

Hello!
My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Azaan, From your report, I believe it's just a network error.

Because when the console has an unstable connection, it closes the game and returns to the menu, or just crashes.

So you just need to configure your internet devices now.
They are unconfigured, so have access restrictions, causing these errors.

If you do not have knowledge, I advise you to contact the ISP that they will do for you

set a fixed ip for the console/PC, open the ports described below, disable and enable the UPnP function and disable the modem firewall, if you have a modem and a router the process has to be done on both devices.
Put console/PC IP in DMZ zone.

Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
Port 500 (UDP)
Port 3544 (UDP)
Port 4500 (UDP)

You can ask ISP(Internet Service Provider) for help

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

Dude **** off giving blatantly wrong information. The game is buggy. It’s not the WiFi goofball. Also if it kicks you out for internet it tells you, it doesn’t just crash. Insanity how useless that was…
