How to Fix The Niamey Logan “Data is Corrupt” Error in MW3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Season 1 has arrived, and so has the error called Niamey Logan, which many fear will reset their rank.

Whenever a new update hits Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, there are likely going to be a handful of bugs that come with the update. Right now, a notable one is the Niamey Logan error, where it says your data is corrupt.

When you see this notification on the screen, you’ll be asked to reset all of your unlocks to proceed. Many players are not happy about seeing this area after the update and are having some issues about what to do next. Thankfully, there is a workaround for this. Here’s what you need to know about how to fix the Niamey Logan “Data is Corrupt” error in MW3.

All you need to do to fix the Niamey Logan MW3 error is hit the accept button, and proceed normally if you encounter this issue. It has been confirmed by multiple players who have encountered this screen that hitting the accept button does not reset your account, and you will successfully resume MW3.

I understand why many Call of Duty fans freak out at this statement. It turns out that although there is a button, the Call of Duty team has confirmed that this will not do anything to your MW3 account. You should be fine with hitting the button and entering the update without any considerable issues to your profile.

However, it was confirmed that that loadouts and other preset settings are likely to change, which is not a huge thing. It might be time-consuming to attempt to replace it, but it’s not like you have to replay all your work with MW3 to reach that point again.

That same day, the Call of Duty Team also deployed a minor update fixing “an issue causing player’s being unable to acquire the correct Custom Loadout Weapons.”

The Niamey Logan error is problematic, especially at the start of MW3’s Season 1 reveal. Fans are excited to jump into the game and check out everything that’s been changed for Zombies, Warzone, and the new maps coming to multiplayer, but this was not a huge change they would look to check out. It is nice to see an official source reach out to confirm that there is a problem but nothing terrible will happen to your account.

Again, thankfully, nothing terrible happened after you accepted the notification. You should be able to load into your MW3 game and begin playing, likely on Zombies or in Warzone. I know I’m excited to jump into the start of Zombies, and to check out the new chapter missions.

That’s all you need to know about how to fix the Niamey Logan MW3 error.
