Ways to fix the corrupted loadout data error in Call of Duty: Warzone

Warzone's recent disconnection error has made it tricky for players to join the multiplayer and battle royale lobbies in the game. After being put into the pre-game lobby, they were greeted with a "disconnected due to corrupted loadout data" message before getting kicked at the end of the countdown. The issue was occurring across all platforms i.e., Windows PC (Battle.net), PlayStation, and Xbox.

While the main reason for the error remains unknown, many players have surmised that the Damascus camo was the cause. Damascus is an extremely rare skin and only players having unlocked Platinum camouflage for every single gun in the game have the cosmetic.

Raven Software immediately took action and decided to release a fix for the issue.

Here are some of the ways to fix the corrupted loadout data error in Call of Duty: Warzone

Fix 1 (PC and Consoles)

PC

• Open Battle.net launcher.
• Click on Warzone.
• The latest update of the game will start downloading.
• Wait for the latest update to install, then play the game.

PlayStation/Xbox

• Go to the Games Library.
• Hover over to the game.

Fix 2 (PC and Consoles)

Many players have reported that certain cosmetics and weapons were causing the disconnection before joining a match. They may opt not to use them for a while to see if the problem gets resolved.

The cosmetics and weapons possibly responsible for the discrepancy are the Damascus skin, Kar98k, and the Grau. Players may unequip these items from their loadouts for a while until things return to normal.
