So I tried out NoLagVPN for a while and eventually decided it wasn’t worth it so have turned it off and removed my subscription. Now, when I try to pay MW3, I get stuck at ‘Logging into online services’. I eventually get the connection failed popup “Failed to login to online services [Reason: DETRICK - GEILENKIRCHEN].
I had the same happen a while ago when I briefly turned off the VPN to try compare matches with and without so it’s not that some other issue has suddenly happened, it’s that I can’t play without the VPN. It also doesn’t seem to affect other games. I thought I’d test BO3 to see if my wifi was struggling or my IP was banned from signing in to COD or something but that seemed to work fine.
Anyone had something like this happen or have any idea on how to resolve this?
Somehow seem to have fixed it by doing all the things at once.
In case someone ends up in my predicament and finds this Reddit post, this is what I did:
-Turned off NoLagVPN through their website
-changed my Xbox DNS settings back to what they were before (for me: 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8)
-selected “go offline” in Xbox network settings
-selected ~”forget network details”
-reconnected to my wifi
-turned off console and unplugged power
-turned off router and unplugged power
-waited ~20s before turning router back on
-once wifi was back up and working normally on another device, turned Xbox back on
-profit?\
If it is, you can still try putting it 8.8.8.8 primary and 8.8.4.4 (google public dns) to test. If that doesn’t help, reinstall network card drivers (google should help, usually uninstalling the network adapter driver via device manager and restarting the pc does the trick). Remember to disable the VPN software autostart/uninstall it, so that it doesn’t automatically overwrite your settings after drivers are reinstalled.
On console, simply check if your dns is reset to default/auto (might also be phrases as “provided by ISP”).
Just checked, when I turn the VPN back on, it starts working again. I can’t think of any way to play COD other than continuing to pay for a VPN I don’t want
I know this is old, but same thing happened to me today. I thought I stopped using vpn about 3 weeks ago but today is when period officially ended. Now I can’t get into the game. Tried everything including what you listed but nothing worked. Repurchased and now it works fine.
Guess I have to pay a monthly subscription to login now?
I’m on Xbox and have tried setting my DNS to automatic which didn’t work and then tried Google’s DNS server (like I had it set before I used the VPN) which also didn’t work.
I’ve tried restarting the console, closing the COD app, all of the normal things I can think of but nothing seems to work. I’m trying to avoid uninstalling ~160GB, especially cause I’m not sure it’ll do anything, but I can’t think of anything else to try
