Many PS5 and PS4 users have experienced a surge of issues with regard to downloading the new MW3 update on their respective consoles. This has dampened their excitement and hindered their ability to take part in this action-packed sequel to Modern Warfare 2.
This guide will attempt to help players overcome the issue by providing some temporary workarounds. With these, they will hopefully be able to download the latest patch and experience MW3's fresh new battlegrounds.
How to potentially fix Modern Warfare 3 not downloading/updating on PS5/PS4
Players are understandably frustrated when their most anticipated game of the year is stuck on a downloading and updating loop on their console devices. More often than not, the issue lies at the core of one's system and can be fixed with simple procedures. You can try out the following:
1) Check your network connection
A faulty internet connection could be the root cause for the constant Modern Warfare 3 download loop on your PS5 or PS4 console. An unstable connection, which might not be displayed on your downloading screen, will definitely hamper the updating process.
To check your current internet connection and its proper functionality through the console, follow these steps:
- Select Settings from your home page.
- Go to the Network tab.
- Proceed to Test Internet Connection.
This process will let you know whether your console is connected to the internet and receiving enough bandwidth through the setup.
2) Use a LAN cable
Wireless connectivity, such as WiFi, has a higher chance of causing download errors due to its unstable nature. We urge you to switch to a LAN setup. Connect the console device directly to the router using a LAN or Ethernet cable.
Unhampered internet connectivity will result in the game downloading properly, unless there are some other underlying issues.
3) Fix storage issues
Before proceeding with your update, we advise you to review your console's internal drive. Without adequate storage, a game as vast as MW3 is bound to run into issues while downloading.
For those that use external hard drives, ensure your device has ample storage and is running well before starting the download. Often, files can get corrupted due to disrupted downloads, leading to updating errors.
4) Check for a visual glitch
Visual glitches are not uncommon. A constant loop of updating issues could very well be a visual glitch, and a simple reboot for your console device should be enough to fix the download issue of Modern Warfare 3 on PS5/PS4.
