Warzone 2 "Lobby crashes every time" error: How to fix, possible reasons, and more

Even six months after its launch, Call of Duty: Warzone 2 lacks the polish that many AAA titles today deliver. Network problems, server issues, lag, and bugs are some of the most common complaints. Recently, one that has been affecting players is the crashing of lobbies. When players are in the middle of a match, their game would automatically disconnect and send them to the main menu or, in some instances, exit the game completely.

This mostly happens on the Al Mazrah map and has become a nuisance for fans. However, this seems more like a bug rather than a network issue. In fact, many professional and well-reputed Call of Duty players has reported their game to be crashing whenever they complete a particular Blacksite in the game.

This guide will take a closer look at this buggy Blacksite and some possible fixes for the lobby crashing error in Warzone 2.
