Even long after MW2's launch, gamers are still reporting several Error Codes. One of the more popular ones is the Puget-Altus Error, which will totally kick you off any online match.
The good news is that all of the solutions to this problem are easy to do. The Puget-Altus error shouldn't keep anyone offline for too long.
How to address the "Connection Failed Puget-Altus" Error in MW2

It's very important to check the entire message, particularly the last part, since that states specifically which error they are dealing with. It's commonly thought that the reason for this error popping up is simple connectivity issues with the internet.

Fixing this error is really straightforward. Here is everything you can do to get rid of the Puget-Altus error:
- Check the server status: The first thing any player should do after getting any error in game is to head over to Activision Online Services. This website will show how the status is doing for both MW2 and Warzone.
- Check the Internet Connection: Often times, this involves looking at the Router and making sure it's in a good area where it can give off a strong signal. You might also need to restart the Router to get it working well. I personally recommend that PC players in particular use an Ethernet cord.
- Restart the system: If all else fails, a good system restart should fix the issue. When MW2 is off, it's also a good idea to look for any new updates that might need to run before the game can get back online again.
