Call of Duty servers aren’t usually the most stable and can present a ton oferror codesfrom time to time, even during ranked matches. In this guide, I’ll show you how to fix the ‘you have been disconnected from the Call of Duty servers’ error.
How to fix Call of Duty Server Disconnected error
Restart the game
The first and usually suggested fix for the Server Disconnected error in Call of Duty is tosimply restart your game. I recommend yourestart Battle.net or Steamas well so your profile is tagged as “logged out” in the servers.
If you’re on a console, follow the steps below:
Check your internet connection
Another troubleshooting step is tocheck your internet connection. Sometimes, ISP connections randomly restart or shut down. Check your router and ensure that you’re not experiencing anyL.O.S. (i.e. Loss of Signal).
I had a persisting issue for months with my ISP not connecting to the Call of Duty servers, even though I was able to browse, and watch videos without any hitch. I bypassed this problem by connecting to aVPN service, and I was able to play the game normally with this method.

Check the Call of Duty server status
If you randomly got booted out of the Call of Duty, you can also check theserver statusof the game. The official website allows you to know if the game servers are down or under maintenance, which is an aspect that players overlook while playing the game.
You can also check the officialActivision Supporton X (formerly known as Twitter) for updates like upcoming maintenance so you can plan your play session ahead of time.
Check if your account is banned on Call of Duty Servers
The Server Disconnected error can also occur when your account isbanned.Bans can come in different forms, like shadow bans, temp bans, and perma bans.Check your accountthrough theAppeal a Ban webpageof Activision to see your account status.
Simply log in through the webpage, and you’ll see your account status. If your account has agreen checkmark, you don’t have any existing bans, and the Server Disconnected error must have another culprit. On the other hand, if it has aquestion mark, you’re most likelyshadowbanned.
