After new update, Call of Duty players report "Connecting" matchmaking bug in Warzone and Black Ops 6

Call of Duty.

Following the release of a new update for Call of Duty: Warzone and the recently released Black Ops 6 this morning, players in both games have reported experiencing a "Connecting" issue while matchmaking. The bug seems to lock players in an infinite loop of waiting for the matchmaker to find them a match, stopping them from playing the game.

Sadly, there's no workaround for this at the moment, though Activision has acknowledged the problem on social media: "As we roll out the current update, players may temporarily notice longer than usual matchmaking times," reads a post on the publisher's official Call of Duty Updates X (Twitter) account. This makes it sound like there might be a server-side performance issue rather than some sort of matchmaking bug, though without more information, I can only speculate.
