With the launch of the first season of Modern Warfare 3, players are flocking to the servers to experience the new content. However, some are encountering an alarming error code that threatens to erase their previous game progress.

The error occurs immediately after updating the game and appears after the title screen. It informs players that their data is corrupt and has not been downloaded correctly. The affected users are then informed that they must either reset all ranks and unlocks or close the game in order to continue.

This message worried many players, including well-known streamers such as 23-year-old Symfuhny and other content creators, who were quite shocked and believed that all their hard-earned achievements had been lost. Symfuhny was brave and clicked “Yes” to the error code and reset, but nothing happened – he still has his progress.

Players don’t have to worry

However, many players were at a loss and didn’t know what to do. Some closed the game via the task management to avoid having to reset their entire progress. However, the developers reacted quickly to this error and reached out to the community. They have reassured players that they can rest easy and need not worry about their progress.

The developers have reported that despite the error message, players’ rank, unlocks and all purchases are safe. However, current equipment could be reset, as well as certain settings.

This reassurance should give players enough confidence to continue with the new Warzone content, including the Urzikstan map and the many new weapons, equipment and maps that MW3 has in store for its first season.
