MW3 & Warzone Something Went Wrong With a File Solution

The COD Updates Twitter/X has indicated a fix for the Season 2 issue. Thus, you must download a minor game update and restart the game to address the problem. This is specifically for Battle.net users, and it should be running fine now with the latest patch.

You can find its Trello card to help track the ‘Something went wrong’ MW3 and Warzone error. On top of that, some users have encountered a bug for the Season 2 BlackCell content and a no-purchase option for the battle pass. Thankfully, these problems are currently being looked at by Sledgehammer Games.

If you’re a veteran Call of Duty player, issues like this may come as no surprise, as seasonal launches tend to bring out a whole mess of bugs. You can also consider the larger player counts that can cause a stir in the servers. Things tend to clear up after the initial launch, primarily when the mid-season patch makes its debut. Nonetheless, major problems will probably be resolved by then, and you can expect more minor updates later on.

The new update for the solution shouldn’t take too much of your space, so hopefully, it will allow you back into the servers shortly. You can still delete old files within Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone (like beta patches) to make room for these updates.

That does it for our guide on how to fix ‘Something went wrong with a file’ in MW3 and Warzone. For more content, explore the relevant links below, including a solution to the ‘Data is corrupt’ Niamey Logan error.
