Check the Modern Warfare 2 server status
The servers are the most likely culprit when you get any error in Modern Warfare 2. When they go down, you can get any number of error messages, so you should first check the MW2 server status.
Check to see if anyone else is having the same issue
Sometimes there’ll be a server outage, and Activision might take a while to update the status page. Before you get into the more arduous fixes, check Twitter and Reddit to see if people are having the same issue you are. If so, the problem is almost certainly on Activision’s end, and the fix is to wait until the servers come back online.
Ensure your home internet is working properly
The “networking is offline” part of the error message alludes to an inability to connect to the servers. If you check the status and it’s all good, the issue may be on your end. If so, you can follow a few steps that’ll clear up the majority of your networking issues:
- Power cycle your modem
- Restart your router
- Make sure you’re not connected to a VPN
- If using Wi-Fi, switch to an Ethernet connection if possible.
A quick way to diagnose whether the problem is on your end is temporarily connecting to another network. For example, if you’re trying to play using cable internet and it isn’t working, you can try to temporarily connect to a mobile hotspot and see if it’s an issue. Just make sure to disconnect immediately after seeing if you get the same error. Otherwise, you might start burning through your mobile data at an alarming rate.
Make sure the game is fully updated
You can get a connection error if Modern Warfare 2 isn’t updated to the latest version. Unfortunately, sometimes your console or PC just won’t automatically download an update, and you’ll have to force it to check for one. The process for this varies by platform, but it isn’t tough to do.
Uninstall and reinstall the game
If none of the above work, you’ll need to uninstall and reinstall MW2. On PC, you can validate the files, which ensures the install isn’t corrupt. However, on console, you don’t have that option, and you’ll need to uninstall and reinstall MW2.
Contact support
If you’ve gone through all the fixes above and the issue continues to persist over 24 hours, you’ll need to contact Activision support. It’s possible that driver issues, hardware changes, or random glitches could cause the networking is offline error message to appear.
If this is the case, you can send a ticket in, and once it’s answered, you’ll likely have to send in some logs so support can diagnose the issue. They may also contact you directly and have you try things that may alleviate this issue. This is a last resort, as you may have several days of back and forth before you fix the issue.
