Since the launch of Black Ops 2 on PS5, players have reported persistent problems joining friends in multiplayer sessions. Invites often cause the game to crash or fail to connect, and some users cannot see friends online within the game. Community troubleshooting points to network configuration issues, with port forwarding port 3074 TCP/UDP and setting the PS5 to an open NAT type improving connectivity. This affects the social multiplayer experience, a key element of Call of Duty, and players are urging for an official patch to address these problems.
- Workaround involves port forwarding port 3074 TCP/UDP on routers.
- Setting PS5 IPv4 address to open NAT type improves connection stability.
