How to fix this?
Here are x fixes you can try out.
Restart your router
Restarting your router can help eliminate any unseen network or connectivity issues you may face. You have to turn off your router, wait a bit, and then turn it back on again.
Restart your game
One of the easiest ways to fix the problem is to restart the game. Restarting games and programs often resolves temporary bugs that can cause crashes or connectivity issues. Once the game is stopped completely (you can verify this using the Task Manager), relaunch it using the Steam launcher, and it should work just fine.
Limit Shader texture cache sizes
Another reason why you might be experiencing this error can be a corrupt shader texture cache. You can fix this by reducing the cache size to the minimum.
Step 1: Head over to the game settings and select Graphics.
Step 2: Head over to the Quality tab and scroll down to find On Demand Texture Streaming. Under more options, adjust the slider to reduce the available cache size.
Restart the game and the error should go away.

Verify Game Files
Corrupted game files can often lead to issues like this, not just in Call of Duty but other games. Luckily, Steam has a built-in feature that verifies your game files and reinstalls any files that might be damaged. Follow these steps.
Step 1: Head over to your Steam Library, right-click on the problematic Call of Duty game and select Properties.
Step 2: Head over to the Local Files tab.
Step 3: Click on Verify integrity of local files… and let Steam do its thing.
Now try relaunching the game.
Reinstall
If checking the game files didn’t work out, your best bet is to delete the game from Steam and reinstall it from scratch. Ensure to overwrite your game save with the new installation, as corrupt saved files can also cause this issue.
