How to Fix Call of Duty Memory Error 13-71

By most accounts, the error 13-71 in Call of Duty does not have to do with the server issues, but the game or profile itself. Since the issue arises in the multiplayer mode when either joining a Regiment or being added to it directly, it is safe to say that the connection issue has to do with the user’s server side of things, and not the central server.

Fix #1 – Restart the game and system

Start things off by giving the game, as well as the console you are playing it on, a quick refresh. Simply restarting the game and the system you are running it on, will reset the connection and temporary files, which should resolve most connectivity issues instantly.
