While we can’t provide any solid fix for Modern Warfare error code 262146, a few users on the Modern Warfare subreddit have found success by resetting their router or by switching out and back in to their player profiles. Considering these options don’t take much effort, it’s worth a shot.
Still, given that error code 262146 pops up for players across the globe and is clearly related to other Modern Warfare connection issues, the problem seems to be server-side. That means there’s likely nothing wrong on the player’s end, and there’s not really anything they need to do to try to fix it. The only real solution is to wait it out and try again later. If the problem persists, it’s probably worth reaching out to Activision Support directly.
