Ever since the launch of Warzone, it has continued to grow in popularity. The Warzone Pacific Season 3 update will roll anytime now. It’s one of the most anticipated seasons in the game as it brings iconic movie characters – Godzilla and Kong to the game. But, like all multiplayer games, Warzone is also prone to errors, and even more so due to the huge size of the game. The Warzone error code 65538 has been troubling players for a long time. The error can be traced back to 2019 in Modern Warfare and keeps remerging in Warzone. The 65538 is a connectivity error that prevents users from accessing Warzone’s online services. If you have encountered this error, here is what you can do about it.
How to Fix Warzone Error Code 65538
You are unable to connect to the Warzone servers due to a range of reasons. Most often, people blame the servers or troubleshoot their own internet connection, but the problem may lie elsewhere too. Quite often a certain ISP in a specific region has issues connecting to certain game servers and that can cause users in the region to run into the Warzone error code 65538. But, the problem can also be the servers. With that thought, here are the solutions you can try to fix the error code 65538.
The first thing you should do when you run into the error is to verify if the game servers are up. Then, go to Reddit and check for relevant threads or make one of your own and ask other Redditors in your region if they have the same error.
If the error is region-specific, we suggest that you change the ISP, if you have the option. Try playing the game using the mobile internet or via a VPN.
If changing the servers did not help, perform the basic troubleshooting and reboot the modem/router. Factory resetting the router may also help clear out any bad cache that may be causing connectivity problems. If that did not help, try changing the DNS servers to something that is gamer-friendly like the Google DNS servers.
If you are on Xbox One, Series X|S, then an incorrect time zone or region on the Xbox may also lead to this error. You need to set the time and region right to avoid the Warzone error code 65538. Go to Profile & system > Settings > System > Language & Location > set the correct time and region.
Another fix that may work to bypass is to enable DMZ on your router. This fix has worked for a few users so you can give it a try. That’s all we have in this guide, we will update the post if the error reappears or we hear anything from the devs.
