Encountering the Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Diver error is extremely frustrating when attempting to play multiplayer or the battle royale.
Along with the Travis Rilea error, the Diver error is one of the more common codes preventing players from loading into the action throughout Season 5. This particular error has been around for a while meaning there are plenty of useful workarounds that stop it from appearing as fast as possible.
With that said, find everything there is to know about the MW3 and Warzone Diver error in this guide.
MW3 and Warzone Diver error causes
The Diver error often appears following the launch of a new update meaning Season 5 could be the next time it appears. In most cases, the error is triggered following connection issues or problems affecting the Call of Duty servers. If the servers are still live, the next step is to ensure the internet connection isn't experiencing any interference and there are a few things that players can do.
How to fix MW3 and Warzone Diver error
The most straightforward fix for anyone encountering the Diver error is to restart the Call of Duty app. There's a chance of the connection issue appearing during startup preventing the patch from installing correctly.
Another way involves changing the DNS address on the PC or console affected by the error. The DNS address is usually the address of the ISP but changing it to either Cloudflare or Google's DNS addresses can stop the Diver error from impacting MW3 and Warzone.
Below are the Cloudflare and Google DNS addresses:
- Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
- Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Players can spam the Back button while the game loads as a last resort. This bypasses the Diver error and allows players back onto the main menus. If none of the solutions listed above work, head to the Activision Online Services page to see if the servers work.
