Multiplayer will rely on your having a strong and stable internet connection in order to play. If you find yourself constantly disconnecting from the game server, make sure to check if your internet connection is up and stable.

Allow Modern Warfare 2 Through Windows Firewall

For Windows users having trouble maintaining a stable connection to the game servers, you can opt to allow Modern Warfare 2 through the Windows Firewall as Warzone 2.0 is under the MW2 client. Follow the steps below to do so:

  1. Open Start and select Settings.
  2. Navigate to Network & Internet and go to Status.
  3. Under Advanced Network Settings, select Windows Firewall.
  4. When a the Firewall window opens, select the option Allow an app through firewall.
  5. Select Change Settings. You will need admin privileges to do this.
  6. Look for Modern Warfare 2 in the list of applications and allow it through the firewall.
  7. Press Ok to confirm changes and exit the window.

Restart Steam or Battle.net and Relaunch WZ 2.0

Sometimes, launch troubles are related to WZ 2.0 and its associated launcher. Do a fresh launch by exiting Warzone 2.0 and restarting either Steam or Battle.net. Re-launch Warzone 2.0 afterwards to check if the problem still persists.

Check for Warzone 2.0 Updates

If you do not have automatic updates enabled, you can manually enable it to catch all the patches and hotfixes that have been shipped to Warzone 2.0. With this turned off, you will have to manually start each download before you can sit down and play.

  • On Steam, right click Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2.0 in your library and select Properties > Updates > Always Keep Game Up to Date.
  • On Battle.net, go to the Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2.0 game page in your library and select the Gear Button > Check for Updates to see if new ones can be downloaded.

Verify and Repair Corrupted Game Files

Most error messages that pop up while playing stem from corrupt game files. These are acquired by either faulty downloads or installation errors. To fix these, you can do either of the following solutions:

  • Steam: Right click Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2.0 in your library and select Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache. Steam will scan and re-download any corrupt game files it finds.
  • Battle.net: Go to the Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2.0 game page in your library and select the Gear Button > Scan and Repair. Click on Begin Scan and wait for the game to repair itself.

Free Up Additional Storage Space

All of the newer Call of Duty titles take up a lot of storage space. Make sure you have enough space before trying to install the game. If you find yourself not having enough space to start updates afterwards, you will have to free up storage space in order to keep playing the game.

Opt to Turn On Texture Streaming

To shave off some required storage space for Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2.0 , players can opt to turn on Texture Streaming from the Settings menu. This allows you to stream high fidelity textures from the CoD servers rather than having them take up space in your PC or console. If you have a good internet connection, you can opt into this feature to save storage space.

Is there a fix that actually works for the keyboard & mouse bug where your not able to plate-up with armor in WZ-2 no matter if your tapping the default "G" key or using any other custom key binding? Also, is Activision even aware of this issue? Thank you in advance for looking into this if you can.
