How often this game crashes on pc is unacceptable...

Discussion

As the title says. i cant go 3 games without this game competely crashing on me. I have all my drivers updated and a fairly good setup so there is absolutely no reason for it.

I'm in the same god damn boat, crashing constantly and at this point its almost unplayable. This is alpha-level quality, and it's honestly absurd that it's happening at this level from a AAA developer/game at release. Money talks I guess..

I'm installing the latest nvidia driver now to test out (released today for MW2, version 526.86), I've currently been using 522.25 which hasn't improved on the crashing whatsoever.

Let us know how the new update is.

I was crashing every other game, installed 522.25 and update my AMD chipset drivers and played 5 games in a row. Try updating your chipset drivers too.

Driver 526.86 is promising, no crashes for a few hours now. Could be a lucky streak though, but so far so good!

DLSS was causing the crashes for me and friends prior to the driver update. I personally turned it off since I'm lucky enough to have a decently high end gpu, and my friends with lower end gpus switched to FSR and none of us had seen a crash since. Going to turn it back on now that the game ready driver is out and there should be a better dlss profile in it.

Just had my first crash on the new driver. It's been overall more stable, but we'll see.

Game seems to be quite stable on latest hotfix drivers for me to be honest.

I refunded the game. I couldn't find a fix. Tried drivers as far back as 516, Everything on low or off, safemode, recached the shaders every time and restarted, verified files on steam, reinstalled. Nothing worked and I would crash immediately on spawn IF the game loaded. I have a 3090 and a threadripper. I'm waiting till warzone to see if the crashes get fixed.

That's the reason if you are on Nvidia. Go back to 516 or 522

Where are you crashing?

Hiatussen•

I can't answer on behalf of OP, but for me it's completely random. No matter the map, gamemode, if there's currently any input to the game or not (ie. pressing a key or not or something similar), or if I'm playing solo or in a group, or no matter the size of the group. Absolutely no logic behind the crashing.

If you've got your texture res setting up high set it down to medium or lower, anecdotal but I was getting a crash every hour but since changing it three days ago I haven't crashed once.

I actually haven’t crashed in a while. Ngl, I kind of forgot about the whole crashing every game debacle

This is anecdotal but DLSS being on was causing my crashes, I turned it off and haven't seen a crash since. A few of my friends switched to FSR and they've seen an improvement in crashes as well. I'm hoping that the new nvidia driver that came out has fixed the DLSS crash.

Guys read what i have written here, please.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ModernWarfareII/comments/ylm2pq/millions_in_development_and_this_happens_all_the/

And report back if it helped, so others can see this too.

Cmos reset is what helped me the most when i've had a problem with gaming.

Good luck !

I ended up just playing in potato safe mode so I don’t have to deal with it. Awful.

Remember, If you crash too much you will get casmera rhino banned and activision will tell you to take a hike

So I'm not crashing anymore, played maybe 6 games last night and not a problem.I had been lucky to finish a game lately. crashing mid match all the time.I wish I knew exactly what step I took that made it stop crashing, so I could tell you exactly what it was.I know its not the drivers, I rolled back/clean installed 516.59 a while ago, all that did was stop the flickering, but it was still crashing. Its not the verify, the verify found nothing wrong with my files.After the last crash a couple days ago, I did a few things at once, so I'm not sure which it was, or a combo of all the above. or i've just been lucky and when i play tonight after work it's gonna be shitty again.But heres what I last changed...

  1. I changed the cod .exe to run as administrator
  2. changed the .exe to disable full screen optimisations
  3. I cleared the steam download cache
  4. In game i set tessellation to off (I had it on near before)
  5. max video memory to 80%

I also wrote a lot of snarky crash reports to the cod devs on that last day of crashing 10-15 times in a couple hours, but somehow i dont think that fixed it though. lol

I can't even start the fucker. Every once in a while, I'll get into the main menu, and it'll crash if I try to start a game. Or it will bog my computer down to where I have to force it to shut down just to regain control of my own computer again. It's bullshit
