How to fix the Modern Warfare 2 “Status Installing” stuck bug
To fix the Modern Warfare 2 “Status Installing” bug on PlayStation and other systems, players must:
- Open Quick Settings and then back out.

- Restart the game.
- Fully close the game, making sure to exit the application completely, and then reboot it to see if the issue persists.
