How to Fix Call of Duty Warzone Dev Error 5573

There isn’t any universal fix for this issue as such. You would have to try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds until one of them spells out success. Follow along.

Avoid CARV.2

First and foremost, make sure to maintain a safe distance from CARV.2. It is recommended to avoid using loadouts with both Flash Grenades and the CARV.2 equipped.

In my case, I was using the Swiss K31, CARV.2, and LC10 in my loadouts with Wraith as the operator, and was constantly getting the 5573 error. So as soon as I left the LC10 and Swiss K31 and switched to an MW operator, it seems to have worked out pretty well. In a nutshell:

Don’t use a Cold War operator Skin,
Do not use a cold war watch,
Don’t have a cold war weapon set as your favorite loadout
Don’t use the Carv if you have it in your loadout.

Avoid Cold War Items

It is also recommended that you avoid interacting with some cold war items in order to fix the Call of Duty Warzone Dev Error 5573. Make sure you stay away from CW operator skin, animated calling cards, claymore, among others.

Fix Issues related to MG82 Gun

Login to the Warfare Multiplayer and head over to Warzone. Then remove the MG82 as your favorite.
You could also consider switching over to the previous operator of Season 3.

At the time of writing, there have been some changes to this gun.These include the decrease in Max, Min, and Range Damage as well as lowering of the Range, Headshot, Upper Chest, and Extremities Multiplier and an increase in the Vertical and Horizontal Recoil. Unfortunately, there’s no mention regarding how we could fix the Call of Duty Warzone Dev Error 5573 in relation to MG82.

Start Console in Safe Mode

Some users were able to spell out success after starting their PS4/PS5 consoles in Safe Mode. Here’s how to do the same:

Press the power key for 3-4 seconds and the console will be powered off.
Once it has completely turned off, press and hold the Power button.
Keep it pressed until you hear the second beep (there’s a gap of 7 seconds between the two beeps).
When that happens, connect your controller with the USB cable and press the PS button on your controller.
It shall boot to the Safe Mode. Now try accessing the game and see if it fixes the Call of Duty Warzone Dev Error 5573.

Drop the Season 1 Watches

If you have some cosmetic watches from Modern Warfare’s Season 1 loadout, then it is highly recommended that you let go of them. This has known to work out for some users when it comes to fixing the underlying COD Dev 5573 error.

Restart Shaders installation

Fix Missing CARV issue in Loadout

So start off by allowing your friend to log in with his account.
At the same time, you log in to your account as well.
