The Modern Warfare 2 status loading error can be quickly fixed by opening the quick menu options and pulling back if you get stuck. It’s causing problems for early access players, especially on PlayStation, as it blocks access to the single-player campaign. It seems that since the 1.03 update some players seem to be getting Modern Warfare 2 error codes stating that their data is corrupt or not downloading properly, before being presented with an MW2 status loading progress bar that never moves or completes. If you’re looking to reach Campaign Early Access in Modern Warfare 2, that’s obviously a problem, but don’t stress because you have a simple solution at hand. If you install the Modern Warfare 2 case on PS5 or a different console, here’s what you need to do to fix it.
How to fix MW2 state loading issue
If your Modern Warfare 2 gets stuck in loading state indefinitely, there is a simple fix that should fix this issue. Aspect Posted by Infinity Ward (opens in new tab), “Playstation players encountering a locked game tile or having early access to the campaign should open QUICK SETTINGS (options button) and then pull back. This will trigger a return to the correct menu. This will be addressed in an upcoming update.” So, to confirm these steps:
- Press the Options button when you see the Modern Warfare 2 state installed to open the side menu as shown above.
- Select any menu option – QUICK SETTINGS is at the top so it is easiest to select.
- When you exit the menu, you will be directed to the Campaign Early Access screen.
- Go ahead, you’ll go through a few more notifications before you reach the single player campaign.
This should bypass the problematic screen and prevent you from getting stuck on the MW2 status loading progress bar, but if that doesn’t work there are a few other options you can try. First exit the game and confirm that it has completely exited, then reload the game to see if you can progress further this time. If that doesn’t work, try shutting down your console completely (turn it off instead of going into rest mode), wait a few moments, then reboot and try again. Whatever the outcome is for you, know that Infinity Ward is working on a permanent fix in an upcoming update, so the Modern Warfare 2 status loading issue won’t last long.
