How to Fix Warzone 2 and MW2 Dev Error 5476?
In order to fix the dev error 5476, please keep reading to the end of this article to know all the solutions. This problem usually resurfaces after an update has been installed and can get on your nerves easily. First, you should verify that your copy of Warzone 2 (also known as MW2) has the most recent update patch installed. Follow these steps to do so:
- Launch the Battle.net app.
- Choose either Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2 from the game library.

- Check if the “Check for Updates” button is active after clicking the gear icon.

Other Fixes
This may come as a surprise, but a simple solution to this problem is to equip a different calling card and emblem. If you have it set to “randomized,” you should probably go and change it.
- Boot up Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2, head to the Multiplayer menu, and from there, select Barracks, Customization, and finally, Identity to complete the process.
- You can select one of the available calling cards once you are there. A “dev error 5476” may occur if you choose the “randomized” option. After that, you can swap out your emblem and return to playing the game.
If you’ve already tried switching your emblem and calling card but it did not fix the dev error 5476, you might want to try quitting the game/s and restarting your router before you try to play the game/s again. If that did not work either, the next step would be to reinstall the game in which the error is occurring. This is a last-ditch effort, although it is worth a shot.
If you look around online support forums, you might find suggestions about how to permanently repair this problem. It’s also a good idea to follow Infinity Ward on Twitter since the studio frequently uses this platform to inform players of any fixes it releases for previously discovered bugs.
