How to solve MW3 Niamey Logan 'Data is Corrupt' error

The Niamey Logan error code comes up for after downloading the MW3 Season 1 update and logging into the game. Activision posted an update on X, assuring players that his incorrect error message has nothing to do with their progress, but certain elements like loadouts, and other customizations might be reset. If you are facing this issue in-game, the easiest way to get past it is to click on the Yes button when the pop-up comes on the screen.

It is natural to worry about losing all the progress you've made so far in MW3, but this method has worked for us. Selecting the Yes option takes you directly into the game where you can check the progress level has remained intact. However, I had to reset my entire Shader Optimization settings and restart the game to play smoothly.

Will your Rank and Unlocks be reset in MW3 Niamey Logan error?

Thankfully, I didn't find my progress getting reset after pressing Yes when the Niamey Logan error popped up in MW3. This error code can be misleading, as it says your ranks and unlocks will be reset, but that's not the case. The only thing that changed for me was the Shaders Optimization setting and a few other accessibility options. All my weapon unlocks, camos, account levels, and other items are still available for use. I also checked my zombies loadouts, acquisitions, and schematics, and all of them were in place, so you can go ahead with this process to resolve the error.
