The Vault Edition for Modern Warfare 2 has an insane amount of rewards, you don’t want to be denied them for any errors.

If you’re wanting to fix this issue quickly, consider the following methods:

  • Troubleshooting: make sure you’ve attempted restarting the game, console, or PC, and whether this issue replicates itself.
  • Uninstalling/reinstalling: Naturally, this can be a more drastic resolution but it never hurts to try.
  • If you activated the game early but changed your timezone to New Zealand, try switching back or checking now that the game has properly launched in your region, allowing proper access to that content.
