I'll post this in the several other threads about this issue that have popped up this morning.

I found a video made a couple days ago. What you do is go to your device manager and disable your GPU. There will be a bunch of weird artifacts as you try to interact with Steam, but it will be in your system tray, so start the game from there. The game will refuse to finish launching, stating that you don't have the required hardware, then it closes. Go back to your device manager and re-enable it, hit ctrl+windows key+shift+b to restart the driver. The game should launch correctly now.

Yeah did not work for me, but one thing, im on a MSI laptop with both Intel UHD Graphics and Nvidia 1650 Max-Q Design, i only disabled that Nvidia GPU when i tried, should i disabled both of them or? Idk if Intels Graphics enterfere with games and/or Nvidia etc?
Btw now i don't even get a loadinscreen it just starts and stops 15 secs after launch...

Frustrating when you pay 50 Euro and this happens, i asked for refund and explained that i haven't played the game, the game has been a background process and was unable to show screen or start which raised my online gametime to like 30 hours cus it things its in the game, but got a reply wonderful repy "Cant refund games you have over 2h on" Frick off made me real mad...

Why the game dont start, it could be:

Antivirus, firewall blocking
Need to update bios and other HW on MB
Not enough free space on sysdisc C.: - need +35 GB

It's probably didn't install right , open steam right click on cod , click on properties, click on installed files , then click on "verify integrity of game files" might take a while but let it do its thing then try running cod , should work .
I did everything, re-installing, verifying files, disabled GPU, windows 10 latest update. Stopped all antivirus and firewall, re-installed OS. For god sake when this game will start working !!!!!!!!!! Warzone 2 and Warzone 3

Guys I have a question, did you clear the "Download Cache" [ Steam Settings - Download - "Clear Download Cache" in Steam before launching the game?
