(Updated) So some error codes and have multiple reasons for crashing. Not every solution for the error codes you have will fix your issue but may fix it along the way. i did this work so you don't have to spend 2 months figuring it out. and yes before you respond it is your PC 90% of the time. And yes Activision cant coded it way out of a wet paper bag, and yes the game is not optimized and is 80% of the reason for the crashes in the first place but they don't seem to care so your only option is to make sure your PC is as efficient as possible and eliminate possibilities. the list order is not important and just lists possibilities to fix the errors. so lets begin. Update your Graphics drivers

1>) Remove overlays from running during the game like Steam overlay. and Razer Synapse or anything else you might be using including graphics software (i had AMD Adrenalin) which uses alt+R to open so its a hidden overlay.

these help fix a DirectX Error that can cause it to crash do to a misconfigured or corrupt DX File it is best to reinstall DirectX, in Win 11 you cant uninstall it so download the install file and run it,

here is the Link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

2>) its a Memory issue (Bad Ram) to check < press ctrl+R to open Run and type mdsched > this will let you know. if it says you do have bad RAM, 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 your error or event crash was recoded and go from there to address the issue.
To open event log press Windows key + R in the box type: eventvwr

5>) Update your BIO's and chipset, Most people don't do its regularly and can lead to issues and crashes when not updated as updates games provide are done with the latest Bios and Chipset drivers

6>) Emailing Activision: After recording all event codes and a back and forth with Activision this was the response i got (and you will most likely get as well) --

"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 installed i reinstall AMD drivers only no AMD software. same goes for Nvidia, play a while with out the software and see if it still crashes if not put software back on and see if it crashes if so remove software and run CCleaner to remove left over files and Registry files

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.
Open windows Security -- click Devise security -- click core isolation details -- Turn off Memory integrity and restart PC

9>) 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.

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

Installing Adrenalin 23.10.2 helped me. No other manipulations completely solved the problem.

The crash I get states the below

Executable: game_steam_ship_exe

I have a new set up and have been running the game with no problem until release 4. Every time it crashes to get back in I verify the game cache, and every time it says 84 files failed to validate and will be reacquired. then I get a couple of games before it crashes again

[^1Ma ^0Long]

if you are on AMD system go back to driver 23.11.1, thats what i did and i dont crash. There is no solution for this problem, only ones who can fix it are the devs and they are purposely ignoring this problem and refusing to fix, i have been submitting the crashing reports for 2 months now they just dont wanna fix it

Its your PC plain and simple. it has to do with your Graphics card, there is no simple fix that's why i made the list, run through it. its called troubleshooting it doesn't matter how godly or how new your PC is. you run through the list to eliminate possibilities and eventually figure out whats wrong. crying on the forums isn't going to magically produce a one click solution because non exists. now get to work

[TEMPLAR KNIGHT]

I have ran through all of the listed and they didnt fix it that is why i reposted. As you put it crying on the forum is the only way as I am not the only one getting this and the devs or steam need to fix. Stop spending money until they do. So its not the PC its the code.

Every other game I have still works its only since season 4 the problem has happened
