This issue, in particular, is tricky to diagnose as many factors may impact your download. The most common issue is, of course, server stress, given how popular Warzone 2.0 is. In that instance, your best bet would be to wait a bit before trying to complete your download. However, below are a few more tips you may want to look at:

  • Cancel the download, restart your console/PC, and then restart the download.
    • Restarting your platform is the age-old solution for most problems. While you’re doing that, a good thing to check would be your internet connection to make sure it’s 100% working.
  • Check your download settings.
    • This step is way simpler for console players, as they only have to make sure their not downloading or updating anything at the same time.
  • Going off of the last point, PC players on Battle.net, follow this step.
    • Battle.net has a feature enabled that limits your download width, which impacts how fast you download a game. Open up Battle.net, click on settings in the top left on your screen, select downloads, and under network bandwidth, you’ll see “limit download bandwidth.” If this is on, it’s essentially throttling how fast you can download a game, turn it off.
    • Also, be sure to make sure your PC is up to date on driver and system updates.
  • For Steam players, follow this step.
    • Much like Battle.net, Steam users can check on their download settings. Simply open up Steam, click on Steam in the top left, select settings, and hit downloads. From there, you’ll discover similar settings that Battle.net player encounter, such as limiting download bandwidth, which you want off.
    • From there, you can also try changing your download region to see if that resolves or speeds up your download.

I love almost every type of video game, and when I'm not playing them, I'm writing about them... a lot. I have too many favorites to list so feel free to ask about them! Long live Ugly Sonic and the Resident Evil 3 Remake (this is a meme btw).
