This error can pop up for a variety of reasons, and here are some possible fixes that might solve the issue for you:

1) Check your internet connection

Poor internet connection at your end is a primary suspect behind the Warzone and Black Ops 6 "online services on loop" error. You should run speed tests to check if your connection is stable, and if you are losing out on packets.

In case you notice high latency, unstable speeds, or packet losses, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and communicate with them to sort out this issue.

2) Force-quit and restart the game

The first method that might help solve the Warzone and Black Ops 6 "online services on loop error" is simply restarting the game. Completely force-quit all Call of Duty processes from your Task Bar, then launch the game again.

This could potentially clear up any internal networking error that might have caused this problem for you.

As an extra precaution, you should quit and restart the platform through which you have installed Warzone and Black Ops 6 (like Steam, Epic Games, or Battle.net).

3) Verify the integrity of files

Verifying the integrity of files can help reacquire any missing or corrupt files. While corrupt files are unlikely to cause the Warzone and Black Ops 6 "online services on loop" error, the verification process also clears and refreshes the game cache, which is the primary purpose of this attempted fix.

Game cache can play a big role in causing a plethora of internal errors, and the "online services on loop" error is not excluded from this list. Note that verifying integrity on any of the platforms can take a bit of time, and can involve the uninstallation and reinstallation of various supporting software.

4) Flush DNS

Internal port errors cannot be overlooked as a cause for the Warzone and Black Ops 6 "online services on loop" error. However, this is an easy fix and you need to run some specific snippets to perform the following on Command Prompt:

Flush the DNS cache of your PC.
Renew your IP address.
Reset the Winsock API on your PC.

After you have run the specific commands for these, you must restart your PC for these changes to take effect.

5) Uninstall and reinstall the game

This is a drastic measure, but if nothing else works, you can just uninstall all the Call of Duty services and reinstall them. Note that this long process will probably take time, even if you have a fast internet connection.

It can clear up any internal software conflicts that might have occured between your system and the game files, potentially fixing the error.
