Last week I reported about some strange findings when attempting Share Play in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare with a friend. That was a region lock on the feature. Today, we’ve discovered that Share Play is blocked out entirely, regardless of region.
While playing Advanced Warfare, which came out earlier today, I attempted to join a Share Play session with my friend. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do this as I was met with the following message:
“The host’s game screen is not displayed because the current scene is a blocked scene for Share Play. Wait until the blocked scene is finished.”
I instructed my friend to jump into other modes to see if this was exclusive to the game’s campaign and unfortunately it is not. It seems as though Activision has used this screen which is typically reserved for blocking out sensitive information or cutscenes to instead block out the whole game.
