CoD: IW — Will not run on PC

[Cyberheart]

The title says it all. Between two different PCs with completely different hardware, this game will not run on PC. After the opening cutscene, as soon as it goes to the LOADING screen, the game crashes. Every single time.

• I even downloaded this game onto my laptop, transferred the files to my PC, and the game still crashes. I think there might be a bug in the STEAM version of the game files.

THIS GAME IS BROKEN.

Not necessarily. Do both PC share one specific software that might cause this?

I am asking out of reason, because the game exe file is sometimes recognized as a false positive by AVP so that it get blocked. The game exe is actually loaded during cutscene, causing a crash after some while if something fails.

For me it was Avast, that causes endless loading after cutscene until game crashed (don't remember the particular crash code it threw). But putting the game folder to the whitelist of my AVP solved it.

Some other people report issus with high DPI scalings or special resolution scalings that might cause issues. One guy recently said that you should disable the "Optimization for Windowed Games" in the graphic setting for Win 11 24H2 as well.

So it seems that most issues are caused by something external rather than the game itself.

Search the discussions to find more possible solution or contact custome support.

try this: on Steam goto Infinite Warfare then click on the gear icon. Click properties and the first page that opens if you look at the bottom there will be a blank spot that says "launch options". In that box type exactly this -dx11 then try to launch the game. The same thing happened to me it took literally months to figure it out even with bringing it to pros... Since the game is older it needs to use the previous launch sequence or whatever i guess. that's why you type -dx11 so it can use older launch method.
