Literally crashes every game: unplayable
the game is unironically unplayable rn
every 20 minutes or so sometimes earlier sometimes later the game crashes
I have redownloaded the game, i have verified the gamefiles
I have used the compatability mode, i have reset the graphic and other settings to default
I have reverified the files over and over. I literally can not play the game right now.
I can bearly finish one MP game before i crash in the next one. Let alone play Zombies or WZ. I have ranked camos to grind, how am i supposed to do that?

2>) its a Memory issue (Bad Ram) to check press ctrl+R to open Run and type mdsched to use this will let you know if so remove RAM and check one at a time till you find the bad stick and replace or remove if you have a lot (Ram will work fine till it gets to the bad sector then fail so its worth a check for peace of mind)

3>) Clean up your PC in general, Use Bleachbit or CCleaner this will remove other crap that may be inadvertently causing issues. Press Windows key + R to open run and type %temp% this is your temporary Folder press ctrl+a to highlight everything and delete

4>) Check your event Log to see if it was recorded and go from there to address the issue

6>) Update your BIO's and chipset

6>) After recording all event codes and a back and forth with Activision this was the response i got --
"This is a Windows error, not anything specific to the game. It usually indicates that the graphics card has failed to initialize in some way. This could be caused by corrupt drivers, bad cache files, or corrupt DirectX files. Please uninstall your graphics driver, restart the PC, then download and install the latest driver using the CUSTOM install option and mark the box for a clean install. If issue persists, try reinstalling Windows." --I ended up doing this as well with a complete reinstall of Win 11 because i upgraded from 10 and it will always eventually cause problems (has for me since win 7 every time) and nothing beats a fresh install, and when install i reinstall AMD drivers only no AMD software.

7>) Packet Burst--- In game click on the gear, go to Graphics, Click Quality tab scroll down to "On-Demand Texture Streaming" Now turn off, This might make the game look bad and jerky (It did for me ) or what i did is left on and clicked show more and turned up the buffer from 32 to max 64 this seemed to help.

8>) Game fails to start with no error code,--- do not run as Admin (steam or Call of Duty) also turning off Core isolation may help with some problems


i hope this Helps feel free to copy and reuse in forms as your own idk

Same, after S3 reload my game crashed after every game when Im loading back to menu,crashing randomly while sitting in menu. Even if I able to play game feels like slowmode, before the update my game was really smooth. And devs don't really care about it.

my advice, don’t do anything, it’s a mistake of the developers

I have a very high end PC and after season 3 reloaded I'm having the same issue with crashing a lot. Also get texture bug more than not. Never experienced any issue or crash before. Game still running at 250 fps. It is the game not our computers.

Some people solved the issue. It's being caused by one of the Bal 27 camos, if you've unlocked it your game will crash. It's unsolved of what camo it is, I myself have unlocked all Bal 27 camos including the prestige "one trick" camo. I played on an account with no camos unlocked and no crashes what so ever. I sent a detailed crash report over to activsion (hopefully it will be fixed soon or they at least know about the issue)
They need to fix this.........

I would crash every other game i played and i ended up:

-Deleting my shader cache in the in game options
-Verified/repaired the game files on steam
-Restarted my PC

I haven't crashed in 3 days after doing all of the above.

Can you please confirm if you have unlocked the bal gun? Do you have battle pass?

Try steps here. Change fan speed for cpu and gpu
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1938090/discussions/0/4361250086037719398/

Go to feedback section and report it to the developers for the game crashing and list your PC specs.

Or post on Twitter and don't forget to tag @callofduty and @Activision if warzone tag @ravensoftware and the other two.

Also report it on the feedback section of the game so the game developers can see it. Also post it on Twitter with your PC specs.

try this

Fix the Exception Unknown Software Exception (0xc0000417)
Open start Menu and type troubleshoot, click Troubleshoot setting when it pops up.

In win 10 under Get up and running click windows update and then click run troubleshooter.
( this could take some time just a heads up )

In Win 11 click other troubleshooters and then under windows update click run
( this could take some time just a heads up )

Close windows and restart

Once restarted open command prompt as Admin

type: sfc /scannow

when done ( and it can take a while )

Type: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

(this can take a while as well)

and we are done and this error should be fixed unless there is a hardware issue and i cant fix that.
