Restart the system, then run Warzone again
Before we discuss some technical fixes, we first suggest that you try this enchanting solution of ‘turn it off and on’. On seeing this error, simply turn off the game and restart it. This error might be a simple bug and restarting the game will surely resolve this and you can play Warzone without getting this error further.
For increased optimization, we suggest you reboot your entire system. Many processes running the background alongside the game could be hindering the in-game modules. These unwanted processes could make the memory segment faulty and thus affecting the game and its processes. So at first, we suggest you close the game and the background process via task manager and turn off the system. This will kill the faulty processes, clear the cache and resolve the error.
Tweak QoS and NAT type settings
Since the error is related to a network connection with servers, you also need to check your internet connectivity. The reason you get this error and are unable to connect with the network could be your weak and inadequate connection. Try troubleshooting your internet modem to fix the signal strength and resume strong connectivity. Turn off your router and wait for 5-10 seconds before restarting it. This will help to restore your internet signals. We also prefer to make use of wired connections for online gaming. This provides uninterrupted connectivity and is viable for online gaming.
Apart from this simplistic method, you need to configure advanced router settings as well. The issue could be probably with your internet settings that are causing this error. Try changing your NAT type from strict to moderate or open. NAT type is a gateway linking your IP address to form a connection with Warzone data servers. A strict IP restricts your connection not letting you connect to the servers. To change NAT type to open, go to the router setting menu, look for the UPnP option in router settings and enable it. Now you can reconnect to game servers without any issue and enjoy non-stop action.
Another solution for this issue could be to enable QoS settings. The main purpose of QoS is to prioritize a certain process over your internet connection providing him maximum bandwidth. If you see this error, chances are that Warzone could be set to the least priority. To set the priorities according to your settings, go to the router settings menu, look for QoS and enable it. Under the processes, give Warzone a higher priority and restart the router. These fixes will surely help you to resolve the error.
