What is Puget Altus and How to Fix in MW2?
The Modern Warfare 2 Connection Failed Puget – Altus problem crops up whenever you attempt to begin the game.

The presence of this mistake indicates that there may be two distinct issues.
There is a possibility that the problem is on the client’s end or the server’s end.
If the problem is, in fact, on the client’s end, it is simple to rectify.
Nevertheless, if it is server-side, you are powerless to do anything about it.
All of the potential solutions are as follows:
- Simply navigate to the Activision Online Services website to check the current status of the server.
- Turn on your router again.
- For your gaming console, you can perform a power cycle by first disconnecting it, then pushing and holding the power button for ten seconds, waiting for around two minutes, and finally turning it back on.
- Make a change to the DNS servers.
- To update your DNS servers, follow these steps. Google’s servers are typically considered to be the finest for gaming. 8.8.8.8 (the primary server) and 8.8.4.4 (the secondary server) are the servers.
An Xbox:
- Simply select the Guide button.
- Access the Network settings by going to All Settings and Network.
- Select Advanced Settings and then DNS Settings from the menu.

PC:
- Go to Settings and Network & Internet
- Change adapter options, select the network, right-click and choose Properties
- Now click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and go to Properties
