Keep talking, you won't take my money.

Are you saying there is a new Call of Duty release filled with bugs? Well, thank you, Captain Obvious! What’s next? Is water wet? Before I get cancelled by the Warzone players, be honest with me, did you expect anything else? Such a big game with such big needs for servers and online functionality was bound to be faulty, glitchy and buggy. But, well, you already experienced these sorts of things quite recently with the release of Modern Warfare 2. Now, we’re going to refer to an error that sounds really serious but really is just plain misleading. Here is how to fix the “Purchase Modern Warfare 2 to Have Access to Everything” error.

How to Fix “Purchase Modern Warfare 2…” Error

When I say that the error is misleading is because I don’t want you to believe anything the error says. You don’t have to purchase a second copy of the game. Think about it, why would you need to buy anything if Warzone 2 is free to play? See? What we’re dealing with here is a bug. The real problem is that the servers can’t take care of the huge amount of players trying to play, so it goes bananas and tells you to buy Modern Warfare 2. Follow these steps in order to know how to fix “Purchase Modern Warfare 2…” error.

  • You could just wait until the developers fix the issue. But I know asking the internet for patience is impossible. Moving on.
  • Double check and see if your Warzone 2.0 installation is up-to-date with all updates installed.
  • Restart Warzone 2.0
  • Restart your platform: PC or Console.
  • Reset your internet connection (when everything else fails, a good modem reset fixes everything).
  • If you feel extra patient, you could re-install the game, but I really don’t think you should waste your time like this.
