5. Run Steam or CoD as Administrator
The next best workaround is to run Steam or Call of Duty as an administrator. This trick gives the game full permission to access files, updates, and anti-cheat services. If you have not given certain admin rights, Windows might block these actions and cause the error. To do it:

- Select Run as Administrator

6. Update the Game
Several errors have been fixed for some players after updating the game to the latest version. So, if you are still playing the older version of the game, simply update it and check if you are still encountering the same error. To update: Go to Steam Library >> Right-click on the game >> Properties >> Updates. After updating, relaunch the game.
7. Switch to a Different Network
At times, your internet connection blocks the main servers of the game and causes several errors, including TRAVIS – RILEA. To fix it, try switching to any other WiFi network (If possible), or you can also try switching to a mobile hotspot.
8. Reinstall the Game
If none of the above methods work, your last resort is to uninstall the game completely from your device and then reinstall it from scratch. By doing this, any missing or corrupted game files can also be fixed, which were causing the error.
