How Do You Fix Modern Warfare ‘Connection Failed Puget-Altus’ Error

If you are hopping into Modern Warfare for the first time or are a returning player, the “Puget-Atlus” error code might be new to you. This error code has to do with the internet connection so first you need to see if the issue is because of something on your end and then you need to check to see if this issue is because of the Modern Warfare servers.

Restart your platform

First, try restarting your platform, whether you are on PC or console. By restarting your console, you’ll be giving your device a clean slate to connect to your internet and hopefully not run into “Puget-Atlus” again.

Check your internet

Now, make sure your device is connected to the internet. If you’re on Wi-Fi, make sure your router is functioning properly. I always recommend attaching an ethernet cable from your router to your device just to make sure your internet isn’t causing the error code.

Clean up your bandwidth

The “Connection Failed Puget-Atlus” error code appears when you are trying to launch into a match. To fix it, you need to make sure that there isn’t anything else eating up your bandwidth. Turn off any apps that are running in the background if you are on PC and if there are any other gamers in the house, tell them to take a break so you can enjoy some time playing Modern Warfare.

Wait for Activision to fix the servers

After trying these fixes, if the “Connection Failed Puget-Atlus” error still persists, it is sadly only a problem that Activision can fix. You can check if the Modern Warfare servers are down or you can try your best to enjoy the Modern Warfare 2 beta and then wait a month for the full release.
