Recently, COD: Modern Warfare received the ‘Pacific’ update with some new features. However, it seems that this has brought issues to many players.
According to multiple reports, the COD: Modern Warfare Multiplayer is not working after the Pacific update due to a missing data pack issue. Also, it seems that the performance of the game deteriorated considerably.
How to fix modern warfare Multiplayer not working issue:
Workaround- In order to fix the “Missing Data Pack” issue, follow below steps.
1. Go inside the game menu, and click on Multiplayer. This will take you to the menu where it shows what all is installed in your game.
2. Here you will see Multiplayer and Special Ops Data Pack 3. Click on it.
3. After clicking that option, exit the game and go to Manage game and add ons.
4. NOW the option to install Data Pack 3 will show up.
5. Go ahead and install it.
Fix 2 -
100% guaranteed to work (unless that newest update made it even worse..)
-Delete and re-install the game.
-ONLY download multiplayer data pack 2 and spec ops/multiplayer compatibility pack.
-Exit game and allow those two packs to download and install.
When you go back to it, it should be all fixed. I’m on PlayStation consoles, but I believe this should apply to Xbox as well. Everyone I’ve suggested it to has had a 100% success rate. (Source)
Fix 3 -
You need to install data pack 1 and 2 for modern warfare. That fixed it for me. Then make sure to fully quit the game and restart it. You should see the infinity ward intro. If not you didn’t really restart it.
Fix 4 - An user claim that you need a hard reboot of the game every time. But really…the game is still unplayable. You’re not missing anything.
In one of their most recent updates, they state that they are investigating ‘various performance issues’ on PlayStation, which could be related to previous reports.
