What is Dev Error 12744 in Call of Duty: MW3?

Dev Error 12744 is a technical error code issued when starting different playlists, such as Mosh-pit in multiplayer or split-screen. The error code appears on the screen, not allowing players to join that chosen activity. While cases of the error code were few before, they have become more apparent with the recent playlist update for Call of Duty: MW3 on Thursday. The error seems to be a technical fault with the playlist patch, not a fault on the player’s end.

How to Fix Dev Error 12744

To fix Dev Error 12744, you simply need to restart your game and head into your chosen playlist. Additionally, ensure that your game is updated correctly on your platform of choice. Lastly, as extra precautions, players can ensure that their internet connection works as intended. If needed, clear out your platform caches if the Dev Error 12744 continues to persist in their game until Sledgehammer Games sends through an official patch. However, restarting the game should be enough to get around the error code.

These solutions, however, are not official fixes and are only workarounds for dealing with the error code. There has been no word from Sledgehammer Games on a fix for the error code. Players have made the issue known, however, and with the developer being very communicative with fans, it should only be a matter of time before the issue is addressed. You can keep an eye on the official Updates X account (formerly Twitter) to hear about when this issue is fixed.
