How to fix the MW2 Clark Monterey error code
Thankfully, there are quite a few things that you can try if you're wanting to fix the MW2 Clark Monterey error code and restore access to your friend list.
Restarting the game, while rather common, is a tried and tested method for good reason. It might not be enough to work for you, but many players have reported that restarting the game and the client is enough to fix this particular issue.
Beyond this, reinstalling the game can be something you can also try - although it is of course a bit more of an effort considering the size of the game. This is particularly useful if you think you have any corrupted files, and it will restore them to their intended state.
Another route that you can take is disabling and reenabling the crossplay function in the game, as this problem is sometimes linked to crossplay-specific functions. This is a very simple and quick process, so we recommend trying it early on in your troubleshooting.
If it is a server issue with the game, however, there is unfortunately very little that you can do outside of simply waiting. It might be a good idea to check the Call of Duty Twitter page to see if there is any maintenance or downtime, as they usually make players aware of any server issues as they appear.

The final thing you can try if no other solution seems to work is manually inviting your friends to circumvent the error message altogether. This can be done by following the step-by-step guide below:
- Press the headset button in the top right, then the My Channel tab.
- Select and invite the players who you wish to join your party.
- Navigate to your channel and invite all of the players to your party from that screen.
While this is a few more steps than you normally have to take, it does thankfully still give you a way to game with your friends when you otherwise might be left playing alone.
What causes the MW2 Clark Monterey error code?
While there aren't any explicit causes for the MW2 Clark Monterey error code, there are a couple of factors that could cause the message to appear.
The first and most obvious are server issues and outages, which is the route of many error messages in the game. This is something that you unfortunately cannot do much about, but it is perhaps the easiest to figure out.
There could also be an issue with your game files, whether you are missing an update or some have been corrupted in some way. This is much easier to fix, although it is a little bit cumbersome.
Finally, any changes that Infinity Ward has made to their online and crossplay policies or options could also cause this issue, as that is directly linked to your friends list and any multiplayer functionality.
