- Check for updates
- Call of Duty: This error occurs after an update. So, check for any game updates that may include a hotfix to solve your problems.
- a computer: I was plagued by many DirectX errors with Call of Duty, and updating your computer via both Windows update or the manufacturer's website fixed these errors for me.
- Check out the game online status
- You can see if the game servers are facing problems by going to the Activision server status page. Additionally, I also recommend you stay in touch with the game's Reddit and X pages to see if anyone has reported any issues recently.
Between each of these steps, I highly suggest that you restart your computer because sometimes, turning it off and on again really does the job for you. If your game is still not working, I suggest you contact Activision Support, where they will be able to help you with any issues caused by their side.
