Here’s How to fix Black Ops Cold War “Not finding players.”
How to fix Black Ops Cold War “Not finding players”
Players who are experiencing the Black Ops Cold War “Not finding players” error and being told that the game “needs more players” can try a number of fixes.
- Turn on Crossplay.
- Enabling Crossplay allows to the game to matchmake with players from all platforms, improving connection quality and matchmaking speed. This will let the game find more players.
- Add more modes to Quick Play.
- Adding more modes to the Quick Play option makes it more likely for players to be found. The more modes that are checked and enabled, the more players will become available.
