Connecting to a Call of Duty: WWII Game
Troubleshooting tips for problems connecting to an online game
If you're having trouble connecting to the Call of Duty: WWII, you should first check Call of Duty: WWII Online Services.
If the status indicator for your platform is not green or a connectivity alert is present, you might encounter connectivity issues until services are restored and fully operational.
However, if the status indicator is green and no alerts are posted, several other factors could be affecting the quality of your connection.
Quick Tips
Play on a wired connection
Call of Duty: WWII requires a constant, stable internet connection to play. Wired connections maintain the minimum bandwidth connection required for online gaming, allowing your system to achieve optimal performance. While Call of Duty: WWII can be played over a strong and stable wireless connection, wireless connections have a wide variance in reliability and bandwidth that can lead to packet loss and disconnections.
Set your NAT Type to Open or Type 1
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a router configuration feature that allows your ISP to assign a single IP address to your router, allowing your router to manage a set of IP addresses for all devices connected to your network.
- Xbox/Microsoft – we recommend setting your NAT Type to Open
- PlayStation/Sony – we recommend setting your NAT Type to Type 1

Run through the basics
Here are a few tips to note before delving any deeper:
- Restarting your router is often the easiest and quickest way to resolve connectivity issues.
- Other bandwidth-heavy applications on your network can be detrimental to your ability to connect. This includes, but is not limited to, streaming music, streaming video or movies, or downloading files.
- Using a wired connection will allow your system to achieve optimal performance when playing an online game. Wi-Fi connections have a wide variance in reliability and bandwidth and can dramatically affect the quality of online gameplay. Wired Ethernet connections will maintain the minimum bandwidth connection that is required for online gaming.
The following tests require you to log in to the router on your home network to troubleshoot your network. You will need your router's login credentials to proceed. If you do not know your router's login credentials, you will need to contact your Internet Service Provider.
These tests refer to options that are typically found in a router's menu. If you cannot find what you're looking for, please refer to your router's manual.
You may not need to perform all of these tests, so be sure to test the game after attempting each one.
If you are on an institutional (school), corporate, or other shared network, please refer to your network administrator for further assistance.
