Method 2: Restarting the Console or PC

Restarting is considered the best and most effective way to solve any error. When you reboot/restart your device, it deletes any existing temporary caches that might create problems with the proper functioning of the game.

• Now, press restarts and let the device reboot on its own; any interruptions may cause the device to malfunction.
• Finally, Launch Modern Warfare 2.

Method 3: Updating the Xbox Console
