So simply:

  2. Select ‘Call of Duty: Warzone’.
  3. Hit the cog button beside Warzone, and click on ‘Check for Updates’.
  4. Make sure any outstanding updates are installed.

  2. Delete the following files:
    • code_post_gfx.psob
    • data0.dcache
    • data1.dcache
    • techsets_captive.psob
    • techsets_common.psob
    • techsets_common_base_mp.psob
    • techsets_common_mp.psob
    • techsets_common_sp.psob
    • techsets_estate.psob
    • techsets_global_stream_mp.psob
    • techsets_lab.psob
    • techsets_mp_frontend.psob
    • techsets_stpetersburg.psob
    • toc0.dcache
    • toc1.dache
  3. Go to Battle.net.
  4. Hit the cog button beside Warzone.
  5. Choose ‘Scan and Repair’.
  6. Launch the game after it’s finished.
