Sometimes, poor updates might corrupt game files with no fault of the user. In such a case, the game wouldn't work properly and would often result in errors and crashes. Hence, it is recommended to recheck the files. Here's how you can do it:

Battle.net

• Select the title.
• Click on the cogwheel next to the Play button.
• Select Scan and Repair.
• Click Begin Scan.

Steam

• Right-click on Warzone 2 and select Properties.
• Find Installed Files and click Verify integrity of game files.

Once the process is complete, Battle.net/Steam will automatically reacquire the corrupted files, and the issue will be resolved. If the problem still doesn't disappear for you, check the next solution.

3) Turn on Crossplay

If you have your Crossplay settings turned off on your system, then it will restrict your ability to matchmake with players from other systems. As a result, you might not be able to find matches easily or even end up waiting for a long time to find a single lobby in the case of unpopular modes.

Hence, if you are facing the issue, it is advised that you turn it on immediately so that your pool of available lobbies increases.

Successfully implementing all of the above fixes should completely resolve the Warzone 2 error code 14515. That said, if the issue persists, it is advised to contact the Activision Support team for further assistance.
