Call of Duty: Warzone Locked Out Error Fix
- Make sure you have fully installed the game.
- Sometimes, you’ll need to wait at the main menu for the game to finish installing. (Even though your PC, PS4, or Xbox One has said the download is complete, Call of Duty: Warzone can take an extra bit of time to finally let you play.)
- Make sure you aren’t trying to join with a split-screen buddy.
- Split-screen is not currently supported in Call of Duty: Warzone. Even if you add a co-op buddy in the Multiplayer menu, you won’t be able to proceed to Warzone.
- If all else failed, reboot your game/console.
- Sometimes a reboot is all you need. First, try rebooting the game, ensuring you’ve completely closed the game. If that doesn’t work, you can reboot your entire system.
