The following factors can be considered as the main cause of error 47 on Warzone:

Corrupt Cache of the Console or System: If the cache of the console, system, or game is corrupt, then Warzone’s inability to retrieve data from the cache may cause the error 47.
Corrupt Saved Data or Reserved Space of the Game: If the game’s saved data (on a PS4) or reserved space (on an Xbox) are corrupt, then the game’s failure to access these may result in the Warzone error code 47.
Interference from the Security Product on a PC: A PC user may encounter error code 47 on Warzone if the system’s antivirus is hindering the game’s communication with its servers as the inability of the user machine (or server) to process the game’s data packets may result in the error at hand.
Corrupt Warzone Installation: If the game’s installation itself has become corrupt (e.g., a partially applied Warzone update), then that could be the root cause of the Warzone’s error under discussion.

Clear Cache of the Console or System

If the device, system, or game cache is corrupt, then the game may cause error 47 on Warzone as the game may fail to load the essential data from the cache.

Clear Cache of a PS4

Press the PlayStation button on the PS4 controller and select Turn off PS4.

Turn Off PS4
Once the PS4’s power light stops blinking, unplug the PS4’s power cable and wait for at least 30 seconds.

Unplug the Power Cable of the PS4.
Now plug back the power cable to the PS4 and power on the console.
Once the PlayStation is powered on, launch Warzone and check if it is clear of error 47.

Delete Warzone Cache Files from a Windows PC

Exit the Warzone game and close the Battle.net launcher. Make sure to end the Warzone-related processes in the system’s Task Manager.
Then right-click on Windows and open File Explorer.

```
Then launch Warzone and check if it is working fine.
If not, exit the game and its launcher.
Then delete all the cache (with dcache extension) files in the Main folder of Warzone and launch the game to check if it clears the error at hand.

Delete the Saved Data of the Warzone on a PS4

Warzone may show the error code 47 on a PS4 if the saved data of the game is corrupt as the game fails to load/access the saved data on the console.
