How to Fix MW Remastered Crashing (The Bog Crash)

If your game is crashing upon startup or on "The Bog" or just facing any other bugs that are in the game, this guide should lead you into the right direction to being able to play Modern Warfare Remastered on modern hardware.

The Basics

To make sure this isn't just your PC under preforming, make sure that:

• Your PC is properly cooled

  Overheating could cause crashing and instablity to your PC, this is essential to make sure to check your fans for dust or anything that could be disturbing your fans.

---

• Your Drivers are up-to-date

(If they need to update make sure you clean install your drivers it helps a lot when you're having issues with other games)

For me I have a NVIDIA Drivers so this is how it would show up for me:

---

Then make sure that "Clean Installation" is selected.

---

• Then lastly making sure that Windows is updated to its latest version.

This personally has never been a solution for me but it might work for you if you don't have automatic updates on or you could have a buggy version of Windows at the time.

Start-Up Crash

If when you start-up MW Remastered and you just face a black screen, you're most likely running Windows 10 and should do the following:

Go to the MW Remastered Download

(SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered/h1_sp64_ship)
Right click "h1_sp64_ship", Properties, click on "Compatibility" and check the box to run the .exe in Windows 8 mode. You should be able to open it through Steam perfectly!

Fixing "The Bog" Crash

• First Disable "Shader Preload" & "Shader Preload during Cinematics"

---

• If you aren't able to disable it or if it crashes while you're trying to disable it you'll have to delete the ".dcache" files which are located in: (SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered/main)

---

• Now if you made it this far and Steam gives you this prompt, and click Cloud Files
  (I honestly forgot which one I clicked but I believe I clicked Cloud Files)

---

Now you should be able to run MW Remastered smoothly and experience no more crashes!

Multiplayer Shader Cache

---

This is just and update if you wanted to get into multiplayer you will see this screen show up and all you'll have to do it cancel it as quickly as possible and it will ask you if you you're sure you'd want to cancel it, click cancel again and make sure to disable anything with "Shader" & "Cache" related when you go to options and it should be under Advanced Graphics.

Guy below me is an idiot

[iiKraze]

none of these are viable options for a crash that is not caused by any of this, the real reason is you have a PC that sucks and you need to go back to console.

[DeadString]

Disable the 2 shader preload options and that solves the bog crash

[damn daniel]

What Comrade Ogilvy said, just turn off shader preload and you don't get the fatal errors for the Charlie Don't Surf mission
