Call of Duty: Warzone saw the light of its launch back in 2020. Despite the rocky game experience at its launch, Activision has tuned out most of the bugs and glitches in these two and a half years. But unfortunately, as with any other newly launched server-based game, this game also struggles with server issues. One such error is the Warzone Goalpost Error. In this article, we will take a look at why this issue occurs and what its fixes are. Read on to learn more.
How to Fix the Status Goalpost Error in Warzone
The players are greeted with this error code when the players are trying to send and receive friend requests and join the game session of other players. Pretty annoying, right? Here is how you can attempt to fix this error.
Use Activision instead of PSN
To fix this error, all you have to do is add your friend to the Activision account via their Activision account name and not their PSN name. Also, you must double check both on your side and your friend’s side that you have crossplay activated on both of your accounts settings. The workaround for this error is to use Activision’s proprietary friend’s system and not the friend system associated with the platform of your choice, for example, PSN for PlayStation.
If your issue is not fixed, you can try the following steps, as this is a server-based game, and there is always a probability of server downtime or connection error.
Check Your Connection Status
Here are a few pointers to ensure you have proper internet connectivity.
- Kill all background processes that are using the network unnecessarily. This reduces the load on your available bandwidth and ensures efficient use.
- Run a speed test on your network to ensure that you have proper internet connectivity. You can do so using 3rd party websites like speedtest.net or fast.com.
- Initiate a quick router restart, also known as a soft reset. This helps in clearing out the cache of the router.
- Also, check your firewall settings to ensure that no inbound or outbound rules prevent proper connection with the servers. It is recommended to pause the firewall settings momentarily while trying to log in.
- Disable VPN if you are using any
- Try switching over to a wired connection.
- Check if there are any issues with configured proxies
Check The Server Status
As this game depends on its game servers, we suggest you keep an eye out for server downtimes, be it scheduled maintenance or otherwise. You can check out the Twitter handles of @RavenSoftware and @Activision, they might post updates about server maintenance here. Also, you can use third-party websites like downdetector.com to ascertain the server status further.
That’s all for this error guide. We hope one of these methods has worked for you; thanks for sticking to the end; see you in the next one.
