If players encounter an error in Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2, they should first check if the official Call of Duty servers are running smoothly. Server issues or high traffic can cause the error to pop up. To check, players can visit the official Twitter account of Activision Support, which regularly updates the server status for all platforms.

Moreover, if the official CoD servers are running without issues, players should check their network's servers. To check your network's server status, navigate to downdetector.com and search for Steam or PlayStation Network, for example. The website will inform you if there are any ongoing issues with the network.

If the issue is confirmed to be on your end, try any of the steps mentioned below.
