January 11th Update Has Been Causing Issues for Some Players
If you’re one of the unlucky ones to have been plagued by the new error code 656448 since the January 11th update to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, you’re not alone. Many users have reported on this newly introduced issue, but fret not, as your friends at COGconnected have the scoop on just how to get around this nasty bug.
Players that have been posting on the Modern Warfare Subreddit have found that clearing your systems cache should solve any issues you may have been having. To do so, follow these instructions:
For Xbox One players:
Clearing Cache
Unlike Xbox 360, the Xbox One does not have a menu option to clear cache on the console. Instead, follow these steps to clear cache on an Xbox One:
- Turn off your Xbox One.
- Once the indicator lights on the front of the Xbox One and the console’s power brick are off, unplug the power brick from the back of your console.
- Wait at least 30 seconds.
- Plug the power brick back into your Xbox One and turn it on.
Deleting Saved Game Data
Game saves, player profiles, and other game data is automatically saved to the Xbox One hard drive by default. If you suspect that data is corrupt, you can delete it from your hard drive.
Please note: Deleting saved game data is permanent and cannot be undone. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you back up your saved game data to online storage or a USB storage device before deleting it.
Follow these steps to access the System Storage and delete game data:
- From Xbox Home, go to Settings.
- Go to System and select Storage.
- Select Manage storage on the right-hand side of the screen, then select View contents.
- Highlight a game, press the Menu button, and select Manage game.
- Select Saved data on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Choose a game to access the game’s saved data.
From here, use the Options Menu to delete files or to view more information about a specific file.
For PS4 Players:
Clearing Cache
The PlayStation 4 doesn’t have a specific menu option to clear cache. However, you can force the cache to be cleared by doing the following:
- Turn off your PlayStation 4. Do not enter Rest Mode.
- Once the indicator light on top of your PlayStation 4 is off and has stopped blinking, unplug the power cord from the back of your console.
- Wait at least 30 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into your PlayStation 4 and turn it on.
Deleting Saved Game Data
Game saves, player profiles, and other game data is automatically saved in the PlayStation 4 System Storage by default. If you suspect that data is corrupt, you can delete it from your hard drive.
Please note: Deleting saved game data is permanent and cannot be undone. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you back up your saved game data to online storage or a USB storage device before deleting it.
