Call of Duty Mobile Problems and Fixes: COD Mobile Crashes, Freezes, Restarts & Stutters

Here are all the common Call of Duty Mobile Problems and their fixes. You can find the most annoying COD Mobile errors and their solutions in this guide.

Call of Duty Mobile has successfully become the most popular smartphone game. The game recently surpassed all records set by PUBG Mobile. The FPS game has got the gamers glued to the screens of their smartphones. On the day of its release, a major chunk of users moved from PUBG Mobile to Call of Duty Mobile.

Being the most famous smartphone game doesn’t mean that this game is free of issues. Call of Duty Mobile has been suffering from several issues since the day of its release. On its first day, the game gave Network Error to the users. After that, the users started facing connection timeout errors or server errors. The developers have been doing their best to fix all the issues on time, but a new issue keeps popping every now and then. Call of Duty Mobile is a multiplayer game and its smooth behaviour spends on the servers used by Activision. When the servers are involved, troubles are not something uncommon. Online games extraordinary maintenance.

When the issues are happening on the server-side, you can do nothing about the, but if they’re happening on your device, you can definitely fix them. Call of Duty Mobile players has been reporting the problems that have nothing to do with the game’s network but are related to the player’s gaming platform or device.

Some of the most common Call of Duty Mobile problems include the COD Mobile crashing, the COD Mobile freezes randomly, COD Mobile also restarts on its own, or the game fails to download.

I have personally encountered the COD Mobile freezing problem and let me tell you that it’s the worst. Suppose that you are in the middle of the Frontline battle, Team Deathmatch, or Standoff, and you are just a few kills away from your target, and the game freezes; what would happen? Well, you will end up turning your victory into a defeat.

I can understand your pain and that’s why I’m writing this post. I am going to list down all the problems and also going to list their solutions below. Some of these solutions are recommended by Activision on their official site and some are my own recommendations. Let us take a look and fix the Call of Duty Mobile Problems one by one.
