Update 1 (December 18th 2023)
12:36 pm (IST): The devs have worked out the ‘fetching online profile’ loop issue and have released an official fix.
Original story follows:
Call of Duty MWIII and Warzone players are reporting that they are unable to play or join an online match due to the fetching online profile bug. The developers are aware of the issue, and a full-fledged investigation is underway. However, the issue has already infuriated the players.
Infinite ‘fetching online profile’ loop making MWIII and Warzone players insane
The Call of Duty franchise has been facing serious criticism in recent times. From severe performance and graphical issues to gameplay restrictions, the fanbase is not very pleased with the current state of the game.
Even the renowned actor of the highly acclaimed God of War series, Christopher Judge, made a snarky remark about the laughable duration of the MWIII 2023 campaign. Among all the issues, the regular flood of issues and bugs is just another spark adding to the rising rage fire.
According to the latest reports, players are currently unable to join matches in the online modes of modern COD games, including Warzone, MWIII, etc.
Reportedly, whenever they try to join, a message stating ‘fetching online profile’ pops on the screen, but the screen keeps on loading, constantly refreshing, making it almost impossible for the players to get in.
This issue persists, restricting players from the online modes. Naturally, the community is not holding back, expressing their frustration on social media and demanding answers from the developers.
Official acknowledgement and workarounds
With the online rage intensifying, the developers soon came forward with an official statement to share an update on the issue.
According to the statement, the issue has been identified by the developers, and they are investigating for further details.
However, there is no ETA or release date announced so far for the update.
But until the update is issued, players can use this workaround:
- Go to Warzone
- Go to optic attachment
- Activate the unlock daily option
- Start a new match
This workaround may seem absurd, but according to the reports, it is a very effective solution. However, there is no surety if it will work as expected or not.
