And again, we got a new error in Warzone and Modern Warfare 2. The well-known Dev Error 6036 is back, so let's see what can be done about it.
Hey, what do you know? Yet another new dev error that appears not only in Warzone, but also in CoD: MW2. As if Dev Error 6039, 5573, 5476 and many more weren't enough already, we now have Dev Error 6036. As usual, for any error in Call of Duty, Dev Error 6036 is also super annoying and can really ruin your mood. So let's take a look at what Dev Error 6036 actually does and how you can fix it.
What is Dev Error 6036?
Dev Error 6036 usually pops up right at the start of the game or crashes the game in the middle of a match. What exactly triggers the error is not yet entirely clear. Some sources claim it has something to do with corrupted game files, others talk about faulty downloads and think that Dev Error 6036 might have something to do with the localization of the game.
The issue is tied to localized versions of Vanguard and by changing the interface language to English, Multiplayer is accessible. We know this is a less-than-ideal workaround for players who want or need to play in their native language and we are currently working on a fix.

Outdated graphics card drivers often lead to problems. So make sure you always have the latest drivers installed. For AMD graphics cards, you can either download the latest driver from the AMD website or use Radeon Settings. For NVIDIA graphics cards, you can visit the NVIDIA website or use GeForce Experience.
Power Cycle your System
A power cycle solves more problems than you might think. Turn off your PC or console completely and restart it again.
- Power Cycle on Xbox:
- Press and hold the Xbox Power Button for 10 seconds
- When the console is completely shut down, pull the plug
- Wait a moment before plugging the console back in
- Restart the Xbox
- Power Cycle on PlayStation:

Reinstall Warzone or MW2
