PSA: Users Reporting Modern Warfare Regiment Bug Is Preventing Them From Loading the Game

modern warfare playlist update

Introduced in the Season 2 patch in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, are Regiments, which act as the game’s clan system, where players can group up, carry the same clan tag, and such. If you’re looking to find one, be careful of accepting invites, as multiple people have reported a Modern Warfare Regiment bug that prevents them from booting the game!

Reddit user editjames told his tale of woe where after accepting a Regiment invite, he suddenly experienced Modern Warfare error 13-71!

I get a “memory error 13- 71” when I launch the game. There is no fix. Be careful when accepting “regiment” offers. I thought I was connecting with some cool people I played with. Turns out I made the game unplayable. If you google it, people have the same problem. Come on Infinity Ward.

Another one affected is Reddit user 5K337Lord, who says he also got error 13-71 after accepting a random Regiment invite.

Getting dev error 13-71 everytime I try to launch. https://support.activision.com/community/s/question/0D54P00007CzwnxSAB/memory-error-1371?t=1584035871081

seems like other people are having the exact same issue.

DO NOT ACCEPT REGIMENT INVITES FROM UNKNOWN USERS

ps. if there are any devs that see this, please help 🙁

Fortunately, he did manage to find a workaround to this issue.

Hey so I ended up fixing my account by logging into my activision account on my PS4 (after downloading 100gb -.-‘) and then leaving my regiment on there, loaded back up on PC after that

Unfortunately, that’s not a universal workaround, as gamer editjames has tried it and it didn’t work. Apparently, this Modern Warfare Regiment bug is caused when a Regiment — which you’re already a member of — gets deleted.

We’ve reached out to Activision to see if there’s a proper workaround for this and will update the post if we hear anything back. In the meantime, if you’re one of the people affected by this and managed to find a fix, send us an email so we can update this post and help out other games, or leave a comment below.

Thank you for making this. It’s unacceptable, I payed for battlepass (which is time limited) and basically i’ll lose the time on it (which i PAYED for). Knowing this greedy company I won’t be seeing any re-compensation.

spent the entire morning combing through youtube, reddit and twitter. Have tried all that was suggested with no luck. I have created a new account and tried to switch profiles once inside but got kicked. downloaded their f’ing app to even try to get out of it there but im not going to sit and play on my phone till I get up to whatever level that takes to maybe get the chance to get out of my regiment. This whole thing is such bogus.

I’ve never even fucked with the regiment system and I guess I’m the super unfortunate one that still has this stupid dumb fuck memory error luck. Tried a ton of shit, watched YouTube videos. Fuck cod and their bitch ass limp dick selves. Really shows how much they care about the community

The new update (03/27/20) didn’t fix anything. This is ridiculous.

Just bought the game, was having some fun. Explored the regiment things and got a bug that won’t sign me in the game ever. Very mad especially during Coronavirus quarantine. Very upsetting Activision. Step it up

Okay, so I am going to be putting this response on a few Memory 13-71 Error Posts relating to PC Players. After the Recent Update I was able to get my game working by doing something weird. So I went to the AppData/Local/ Folder and Deleted the Folder titled Blizzard Entertainment, which is the Cache folder for games. By doing this it caused the game to have to re-gather online profile information (At least I think so). But by doing this it caused the game to take longer to load, possibly thanks to the update, and my game was actually able to launch properly. After that, if it still errors, try restoring the folder from the Recycle Bin. I am not saying this will work for Everyone, but I fixed my game twice (I forgot to leave the Regiment the first time so it gave me the error again) As well as a friend of mines game. So I am currently 3 for 3 with this fix. But if you get your game loaded… LEAVE THE REGIMENT IMMEDIATELY, I didnt and got the error after restarting. Hope this helps PC players, its a jank solution to a problem they shouldve resolved.
