The main reason for this is that Activision isn’t communicating correctly with services like Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, often after an update. It can also happen if crossplay is turned off or if someone in your party has problems logging in or doesn’t have the right permissions. Now that you know the possible causes of the Savannah error, here’s a list of all the steps players have used to fix it:
1. Delete the reserved space (Xbox consoles only)
The first thing Xbox users should try is deleting the reserved space for the game. This step only applies to Xbox consoles, since they uniquely allow you to remove reserved space data. When you delete these files, any mods and some update files causing issues will also be removed. Then, when you launch the game, it will automatically download any required files that are missing.
2. Delete problematic files (PC only)
Players on PC have reported fixing this issue by deleting certain files that were installed with the latest update. These files often cause the Savannah error. This method is typically for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players, as these are the files users have flagged as problematic. It may not work for Warzone, but if you’re experiencing the error, it’s worth trying.
3. Reinstall the game
If none of the above methods work, reinstalling the game is the last option. This has been effective for most players, although it takes the most time. By uninstalling the game, you remove all corrupted files causing the issue, which are then replaced when you reinstall the game. This method works on any platform where the error occurs and applies to both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. The time required will depend on your internet speed. Simply uninstall Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Warzone from your device. Then, reinstall the game and wait for the installation to complete. Once it’s reinstalled, launch the game and try joining another player’s lobby to see if the Savannah error is resolved.
