The Warzone "Wolters-Indiana" error is a network issue within the game that is often followed by a connection failed message. This error usually occurs when the game client is unable to maintain a connection to the game's servers. As a result, when a user faces this issue, they won't be able to get past the initial loading screen nor have access to the Call of Duty HQ.

This can be quite limiting and frustrating. Fortunately, if the issue is client-sided, it can be fixed relatively easily. However, if the problem lies with the server, then there's little you can do to resolve it.

With that said, in this brief guide, we will take a look at some of the most common fixes for the Warzone "Wolters-Indiana" error.

How to possibly fix the Warzone "Wolters-Indiana" error

Before you begin with the possible fixes for the Warzone "Wolters-Indiana" error, it is advised to check the game's server status. Only proceed if no error is detected with the servers and you are sure the issue is from your end.

That said, here are all the possible fixes for the Warzone "Wolters-Indiana" error:

Restart your router

The first thing to try when faced with the error is to restart your router. A proper reboot usually involves removing all sources of power from the router and letting it remain in that state for at least 10 seconds. Then, plug the cable back in and turn on your device.

Rebooting your device correctly will clear and reset the cache, which can fix a host of network-related issues, including packet loss and a fluctuating ping.

Allow the game through your Firewall

Sometimes an anti-virus software or Windows can block the game from accessing the internet. It is a rare occurrence but isn't impossible. Hence, it is advised to check the Firewall rules of your anti-virus first to see if it is blocking Warzone from accessing the internet.

If you aren't using any antivirus software but relying on Windows Defender, here's how you can allow the game through your Firewall:

Open your 'Control Panel'.
Select 'System and Security'.
Click on 'Windows Defender Firewall'.
From the left panel, select 'Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall'.
Select 'Change settings'.
From the list, find 'Call of Duty core' and make sure the boxes are ticked. If not, check them and exit the Firewall settings.

By following the aforementioned steps, you should be able to access the game and the Warzone "Wolters-Indiana" error should disappear. If not, move on to the next step.

Flush DNS cache

If the above fix doesn't work for you, it is recommended to flush your DNS cache. To do so, follow these steps:

Press 'Win+R' to bring up the Run box.
Type in 'cmd' and press Enter.
In the Command Prompt Window, type in "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes and hit Enter.

If you followed the steps correctly, you will get the message "Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver cache."

Use a different connection

Finally, if none of the above fixes worked for you, it is recommended to see if it is your ISP that is blocking access to Warzone servers. If you don't have a second internet connection at home, try using your mobile hotspot to see if you can access the game via your cellphone's network. If you can, then the problem is with your ISP and it is recommended to contact them to resolve the issue.

Please note this is more of a method of diagnosing the cause and not a proper fix.

That covers everything there is to know about possibly fixing the Warzone "Wolters-Indiana" error. If the error persists despite implementing all the fixes mentioned above, contact Activision's support team for further assistance.
