Call of Duty Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 Dev Error 5476: How to fix it?
Restart Launcher
Many players have stated that relaunching their Battle.net/Steam launcher fixed this issue for them. To do this, you will need to exit the game, and also exit/close the Battle.net/Steam launcher. After doing this, go to your Task Manager and click on End Task for all processes related to the COD and Battle.net/Steam. Now, try launching the game again, and the issue should be gone.
Randomize Emblem and Calling card
You can also try this method that has worked for some players. So, all you need to do is randomize your calling card and the emblem. To do this, go to your main menu in the game > go to Barracks > Customization > Identity. Now, access the Edit Calling Card option and select a different calling card than the one selected. Do the same for Emblem as well. We know this might sound absurd, but this might be the cause of the Dev Error 5476 in the game.
Update game
There are also possible chances that your game has not been updated for quite some time. This is one of the main reasons that it is showing errors. So, whether you are accessing the game on your console or PC, consider checking if there is an update pending. If there is, download and install the update, and relaunch the game to see if the error is fixed.
Check server status
If the server status of the game is offline, then you might encounter this error code. So, head over to the official server status page to get the latest details.

Reset router
At times, there can be problems with your router. It may be that it is suffering from some internal glitch, or it may have a bug. Luckily, you do not have to go to experts to solve this. You can solve the issue yourself by resetting your router. To do this, find your Router reset button and hold it for 15-20 seconds to reset it. This is one way to reset your router. Do this and then relaunch the game to see if it is running smoothly now.
Check Internet Connection
If your router is working perfectly fine, then there are also chances that your internet connection could be the issue. But, before blaming your internet, go ahead and check the quality/stability of your internet connection using third-party speed testing websites. If it is indeed slow, then you must consider switching to a wired connection.
Reset Console Cache
You can also try resetting the cache of your console to fix this issue. To do this, hold down the power button to shut your console down> Release the power button > Unplug the power cable > wait for 5-7 minutes > Replug the power cable > Turn on the console. After this, launch the game and check if the issue persists.
Verify the Integrity of Game files
Sometimes, there are chances that your current game files may be corrupted. This is the most common reason for errors to occur in a game. So, make sure you go ahead and use the method of verifying the integrity of game files to fix the problem.
To do this on Steam, head over to the Steam library, and navigate to COD Warzone 2/COD MW II. From there, right-click on the game and click on “Properties”. After this, click on “Local files” and finally, select “Verify integrity of game files”.
If you play the game via the Battle.net launcher, head over to the Battle.net app, click on the game, and then select the “Scan and repair” option from the gear icon next to the Play Button. After the scan is completed, relaunch the game and the error should be fixed.
Reinstall game
