Step 1|Compare before and after one save attempt

Keep a private record of the result. This is a check, not a guaranteed repair.

Time: About 3 minutes to check; downloads and fix availability vary · Risk: low

  1. Note the Multiplayer loadout and its previous configuration privately.
  2. Use the normal save action once, reopen the same loadout and compare what remained versus what reverted. No purchase or extensive rebuild is needed.

Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.

Step 2|Separate saving from other restrictions

Keep a private record of the result. This is a check, not a guaranteed repair.

Time: About 3 minutes to check; downloads and fix availability vary · Risk: low

  1. Distinguish an error message, an unavailable selection and a change that reverts after saving.
  2. If you are on an unlock screen or in another mode, do not assume this entry explains it. This guide does not bypass unlock conditions.

Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.

Step 3|Check updates and prepare a useful report

Keep a private record of the result. This is a check, not a guaranteed repair.

Time: About 3 minutes to check; downloads and fix availability vary · Risk: low

  1. Prepare the platform/store, mode, time and the difference before and after saving. Redact personal details from any image.
  2. Select MW4 in the official bug form and describe the action separately from its result. This guide cannot promise a reply or a fix date.

Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.
