So the game studio Activision has joined the ranks of those who launch games for the Android mobile platform. Readers might have already guessed that we are talking about Call of Duty Mobile. The company wants to compete with similar smartphone shooters like PUBG, Fortnite and the like. The grand entrance was slightly flawed by bugs. This is not surprising, given that so far only a beta release is presented. Most of the users reported the same authorization error.
Cause of the error
The beta release of the game is not available to all users. Interested players had to register separately to participate in testing through the Play Store. Even after submitting the questionnaire, there is no guarantee that the developers will choose the user as a beta tester.
The first round of testing was carried out in India and has already been closed. Only those users who submitted an application and were selected for participation could go there. After access is closed, only previously registered participants from Asian countries can use the application. In other words, in order to successfully log in, you need to change the IP to Japan, Singapore, India, etc.
How to fix an authorization error in Call of Duty Mobile?
What do we have to do:
- Check that the Call of Duty Mobile application is installed, its APK file can be downloaded by link… The program version must be at least 1.0.1 or higher, otherwise the method will not work.
- Install VPN App on Android: Power VPN or Super ExpressVPN… For example, the second option will be used.
- Open Super ExpressVPN and click on the “Click to Connect” button.
- When the connection is complete, the changed location will be displayed. It displays information about the new IP address and country. It is better to choose Asian countries, and ideally India.
- Once the geolocation is complete, you can launch Call of Duty Mobile on Android.
- After logging into your account, a window for entering the username and avatar will be displayed. It is not necessary to indicate them, you can just press the “OK” button to continue.
During testing, I was able to log into the game via Super ExpressVPN from Japan and Power VPN from Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore. In general, other VPNs can be used, but not all of them work. Most other applications cause the “Getting Version Info” message to appear and freeze.
