Fix for Error Code 4b538e50 on NBA 2k24

If you have encountered this issue and are looking for a fix, simply ensure that the game has already been fully downloaded. Check to see that the download is already at 100% in the downloads page of your PC or console before attempting to launch the game.

If you are encountering this issue on the Nintendo Switch, take the time to reboot the device. Simply go to the "Power Off" option, restart the console, and relaunch NBA 2k24.

Playing a few games in "Play Now" mode should be enough to fix this issue on PC or consoles. However, if the issue persists, there are a few steps worth trying to resolve the issue.

On Steam, if the game has already been fully downloaded and you have already played a few rounds in "Play Now," simply verify the game's installation files, this can be done by right-clicking on the game, selecting "Properties" on the menu that pops up, choose the "Local Files" tab and click on the option to verify the game files.

The same troubleshooting step can be tried on consoles, simply check how to verify file integrity for your certain console. Additionally, check to make sure that there is sufficient space in the storage drive where you are installing the game.

Also, don't forget to try the old "turn it off, turn it on again" tactic regardless of the platform you are playing on.

If these steps have already been performed and the issue still persists, it might be time to get in contact with NBA 2k24's support team. Make sure to inform them of all the troubleshooting steps that you have already done to help resolve the issue faster.
