If you are wondering how to fix error code 664640 when playing Call Of Duty Modern Warfare, Warzone, or even Black Ops Cold War, these solutions might help.
Fix #1: Restart the game.

Certain connectivity errors are the direct result of problems from server side of things. Make sure that you check for current server problems. To do that, visit the official Activision server status page.
Fix #3: Make sure the game and software are updated.
Keeping everything in your PC or console up-to-date is one way of keeping bugs at bay. If there’s no on-going server troubles and restarting the game does not help, make sure that you check if there are any game updates that you are yet to install at this time.
If you play on PC, you also want to make sure that your system software are updated as well as the hardware drivers.
Fix #4: Power cycle your router.
Another simple trick that might help you fix your Call Of Duty Modern Warfare error is by ensuring that your router is refreshed. You need to perform a full power cycle on your router by turning it off and unplugging it from the power source for 30 seconds. Then, turn it back on and check for the problem.
Fix #5: Check for slow connection.
If your home internet is slow when playing online, it may result to poor experience and even severe issues or errors. Try to run a speed test on your device and see if there’s something you need to do to improve. If your download and upload speeds are way below the speeds you’re paying for, talk to your Internet Service Provider for help. Before doing the call, you might also want to check if you can improve the bandwidth on your PC or console by disconnecting other devices from your network. Having too many devices using the internet at the same time you’re playing online can be the reason why you have poor experience.
Fix #6: Manually change your DNS settings.
Some players have successfully fixed this error by using another set of DNS servers. There are times that the DNS servers of your ISP may fail or suffer some downtimes. To see if you have such an issue, change the DNS settings on your console or PC and see if that will help. If you have no idea how to do this, use Google search for instructions.
Fix #7: Re-login to your profile or account.
You can also try to see if refreshing the game client by closing it then logging out of your account will fix the issue.
