Call of Duty Modern Warfare corrupted data: New update issues with COD download

Infinity Ward says they are investigating issues with today’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare update. According to console users who have downloaded the new patch, issues arise soon after trying to boot up the game. A Modern Warfare Corrupted Data message can appear after completing the patch process. And the error prompt leads to certain options, both of which Infinity Ward warns not to complete. Some fans have also reported being stuck in a loop of being told to download the patch, only for the process to repeat.

The Modern Warfare support team says that gamers must ignore any options provided on screen and should hard close the game instead.

A statement from the development team explains: “We’re currently investigating an issue where players are getting an error prompt informing them their data is corrupt or did not download properly.

“Please do not select either option, but please hard close your application. Thank you for your patience while we work on this issue.”

For now, there is no reason to believe that player in-game progress will remain corrupted in the future. However, there is a chance that those who have chosen to reset their options may have to wait to get their data back.

And it appears until Infinity Ward is able to fix this problem, some gamers will not be able to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

The latest message from Infinity Ward confirms that today’s issues are still being looked into on all platforms.

“We’re still looking into this issue and appreciate your patience,” the COD message reads.

“If you are presented with this prompt, please do NOT select any option and hard close your application.

“We’ll provide another update when we have more information. Thank you again for your patience.”

It appears that Infinity Ward may be forced to either roll back today’s update or launch a new hotfix to solve the current issues.

One user writes on today’s problems: “I downloaded the 16.64g then went to go back to the game after it downloaded and it keeps saying that it can’t access the online service.”

Another adds: “When I try starting the game it tells me I don’t have the special ops DLC, then it downloads it, and when it’s finished and I try to start the game, it tells me the same thing and starts the download AGAIN.”

After today’s problems are fixed, COD gamers will be able to start the process of unlocking the new Crossbow weapon, as well as enjoy five new loadout slots.
