Description:
A terrifying error message is threatening to delete Modern Warfare 3
progress, but it's thankfully just a bug.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Youve probably recently booted up Modern Warfare 3 in order to dive right
into the games first big seasonal content update. Featuring a range of new maps, operators, and weapons, not to mention a reworked Warzone experience,
to get to grips with, there are loads of good reasons to be playing season
one of the latest Call of Duty right now.

If youre anything like me, however, you were immediately greeted by a terrifying error message that made you close the game out of fear. The menacing message reads: Your data is corrupt or didnt download properly. You must reset your rank and unlocks to continue, which is probably the absolute last thing that you would want to hear having just spent the last couple of months grinding to unlock your favorite guns and reach the maximum rank.

Youre only offered two choices when this error appears, clicking yes to apparently erase your progress or hastily hitting no - which immediately closes the game. Although I wasnt too keen to risk it at the time, the Modern Warfare 3 developers have thankfully confirmed that the appearance of this message is just a bug and that there wont be any lasting repercussions for clicking through it to get back into the game.

In a post on the official Call of Duty Updates Twitter page, the error
message was described as incorrect and the team offered reassurance that your rank, unlocks, and purchases are not lost. Unfortunately, they do state that your loadouts will likely be affected - so just be prepared to spend some
time getting your go-to weapons back in order.

You can read the full message below: #MW3 #WarzonePlayers logging into
Season 1 may see an incorrect error message stating their data is corrupt. Rest assured that your rank, unlocks, and purchases are not lost, although Loadouts, customization, and certain settings may be reset. December 6, 2023 See more

Even if it won't affect my rank, Im still not excited to see my loadouts
reset - as Ive already spent a lot of time decking my favorite guns out in
the frankly adorable ice-cream themed Neopolitan camos. Hopefully a quick patch to fully remove the error is currently in the works.
