Warzone was one of the most anticipated games of the year with a lot of rumors about the title, release date, and just about everything. Data miners kept discovering bits and pieces about the game in Warzone’s code, but nothing substantial. However, now that we finally have the game, it seems the developers could have waited longer and released a more functioning and bug-free game. There is a range of errors and bugs in the game with the recent surfacing Warzone ‘Lost connection to host’ error.
While most errors with the game is PC released, this particular error is seen on all platform – PC, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Fortunately, there are some working solutions that you can try to resolve the error. Stick around the post and the ‘Lost connection to host’ error will be a thing of the past.

Two of the most common reasons why the error seems to emerge is when you have not linked your Activation account to the Battle.Net account for PC players and the PS4 or PS5 account. The second reason you could be seeing the error when the game does not have admin privilege.
Therefore, to resolve the Warzone ‘Lost connection to host’ error, you must first link the appropriate accounts and then provide the launcher and the game admin permissions. Here are the steps to perform the process.
Link Activation and Battle.Net | Provide Amin Access (PC Users)

This is not the only error with the game that occurs when you have not linked the accounts. So, ensure that you have completed the process successfully to play the game seamlessly. If you have followed the above process and the error still occurs, the problem could be your internet connection. In that case, the first thing you must do is verify your internet connection.
