Puget Lakes Error and How to Fix

Modern Warfare 2 - Puget Lakes Error and How to Fix
Puget Lakes is a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (MW2 2022) error message that's been kicking players out from multiplayer lobbies since the game's release. Read on to find out what causes the Puget Lakes error and see all the possible fixes for this issue!

Puget Lakes Error

Server Connectivity Problem

Modern Warfare 2 - Puget Lakes Error

Puget Lakes is a type of server side error that prevents players from getting into the game. It might be that the servers are overloaded with players, as this error affected most players across all platforms during the first hours of MWII release.

Infinity Ward hasn't officially addressed this issue, but it shouldn't appear as often as it did on the game's release since player numbers are finally stabilizing.

How to Fix Puget Lakes Error

Relaunch the Game

Restart Game mw2

Relaunching the game seems to fix the problem for some players. You can try this method until the server lets you back inside. You can also try waiting for a few minutes before you relaunch the game to lessen the load on the server.

However, if you don't feel like waiting around, you can always try reconnecting continuously to get yourself back in the game.

Restart Internet Connection

Another trick you can try is restarting your internet connection. If this doesn't solve the Puget Lakes error, you should check if your internet connection is stable, as that might also be the culprit preventing you from connecting to the server!
