hello guys welcome back to G tips and in this video we're going to talk about how to fix Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is having crashing issue it is not launching won't launch freezing stuttering lagging low FPS drop stuck on loading screen and even black screen issue which is happening for many of the users right now and how we can fix this up so let's dive into this the first one is all about we have to do a simple restart so we just need to go over here in the start icon now go to the power icon over here and go for a restart once the restart is done try launch the game and you have to see whether the issue is solved or not this is a very basic step which can be done if that is not working we have to move to the next one next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to exit from both the steam or battle.net if you're using the Battle.net and if the game is available in the Battle.net as well as in the steam we have to exit it and you have to open it once again so just go over here in the steam go for exit after the exit is done we just need to wait and try launching the steam once again and you have to try launching the game from the steam itself if you're on the Battle.net you can exit from the Battle.net and try opening the app once again and try launch the game this can be done next one is all we have to launch the game not from the uh steam but from the installation folder so launching the game from the steam might be an issue so we need to launch the game from the installation folder so just go over here in the game right click and go to the properties we have to navigate to the installed files and just click on the browse so that what happens is that it will take you to the installation folder if you check at the top that is this PC local dis C program FX 86 steam steam apps common Call of Duty HQ and if you scroll down you'll be able to see that is Call of Duty the exe application is here just launch the game frame here instead of launching it from the steam this worked for many users so you can try this side if this is not working you don't have to get panic you can try the one more step that is all about we have to launch the game from here I mean we have you have to run it the game as administrator for this we just need to right click we have to go to show more options we have to go to the properties compatibility and what we need to do is we just need to click on run this program as administrator we have to go for apply and we have to go for okay and we just need to try launch the game for many users when they run the game as administrator it worked for them so you need to try this S as well next one we need to try Run the game in the compatibility mode so just right click over here go to show more options go to the properties compatibility mode now from here click on Run the game in the compability mode first you have to set this to Windows 8 go for apply and if that is not working set this to Windows 7 and go for apply and go for okay most cases Windows 7 will be working so you can try this out next one is all about we we have to launch the game and we have to press alt and tab from the keyboard so just hit on the play button and press alt and tab from the keyboard this worked for many users in my knowledge for personally it worked for me even that is why I'm recommending you can try this out next one is all about we have to make sure the date time and region is correct for this we just need to go over here in the search we have to navigate to settings over here go over here in the time and language go to the date and time make sure all these things three things are turn it on that is time zone automatically should be turn it on time automatically should be turned it on as well as show the date and time system TR should be turned it on just go back go to the language and region here it is very important that you have to set the geography according to your country so you might be in uh United States uh so you have to set it in United States if you're from United Kingdom you have to set this to United Kingdom if you're from India we have to set this to India once you set the region just close everything and we have to go back to the steam try launching the game still if you're having the trouble don't get panicked we have more steps which can be done and one among them is all about we have to delete the saved game file so this is very important this worked for many users and we found this from the community Forum so just go over here in the file explored navigate to this PC now we have to go to documents and over here you have to check whether you are able to find the folder of cod mod Warfare like Diablo assistant Creed you will be able to find the folder if the folder is not there just go into the folder my games and over here somewhere else you'll be able to find the folder so what you need to do is you just need to keep in mind when you delete the folder you'll be losing all the progressions of the game but that is fine just delete it once you delete it you just need to close this and we have to go back try launch the game and that will be working fine next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to allow the game to Window Security for this reason we have to go over here in the search we have to navigate to control panel just search for control panel now from here navigate system and security go for Windows Defender Firewall go for allow app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall now from here as you can see we have to keep scrolling down and navigate to Call of Duty and make sure this is already added make sure both the private and public both has to be selected which is very important so you have to select both private and public so if imagine the game is not here if that is the case what we need to do so I'll be showing you that as well just click on the change settings we have to go for allow another app go for browse navigate to this PC go to local DC go to program fx86 keep scrolling down navigate to steam and we have to navigate to steam apps go to Common now from here we have to go to uh we just need to go over here and navigate to Cod so Call of Duty HQ now from here we just need to launch the game so keep in mind we can also add it so here I'm adding it because it's already added so that is why I'm not able to add it so this is how we can add the game once the game is added we have to make sure both the private and public both has to be marked which is very important once afterwards just close everything and we have to go back and try launch the game next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to unplug all the USB devices which is already connected for for example you might be connected with multiple monitors you might be connected with multiple controllers even you might be connected with multiple you know uh joystick and even Wheels might be connected so that might be not for this game but even for any other game but even that might cause the issue up so it is quite important for you have to cross check from your side and you have to unplug all these things and once afterwards try and once the game is up and running you can connect it back and try with your controllers and all those things next one is all about we have to perform a clean boat so just go over here in the search we have to navigate to uh you know we need to navigate to uh system configuration and go to the services and go for disable all go for hide all micros Services go for apply and go for okay and we have to keep in mind when you do this you'll be be losing all the uh you have to keep in mind that you have to go for restart but here we're in the middle of shoting so I'm going to skip this and we can try after the restart try launch the game this is very important so you can try this over as well next one is all about we have to close all the overlay application so whenever launch the game for example like Call of Duty which is Modern Warfare 3 which is around 116 GB which is a very important step we have to keep in mind is closing the overlay application just go over here in the start right click and we have to go to the top manager and right now as you can see there are around 52 apps running in the background so here in the PC which I'm using right now is having a good uh spec and configuration the ram is around 32 GB and I'm having the Nvidia ge4 RTX 480 which is fine for me and which is absolutely great so even if I these kind of background apps running the background at the same time if I launch the game I'll not be having the crashing issue I never had the crashing issue as well so this is what you have to do but this will not be the uh case will not be the same for for the users for having the ram around 2GB or 4GB and even for 8 and 16 as well so it is quite important that you have to remove the unwanted things from here in the background process all I have to say is we have to remove discode we have to remove rear tuner MSA After Burner and all those things can be removed because it comes in the category of overlay and overclocking application so just remove all these things and once after you remove this just close everything and we have to go back and try launch the game and that will be working fine next one is all about what we need need to do is we just need to uh which is very important we have to disable the steam overlay so just go over in the game right click and go to the properties make sure if the enable the steam overlay while in game is turned on we have to turn this off try launch the game if that is not the case we have to go over here in the launch option we have to give the commands in the launch option and the most working command is the first one is dx11 so try with dx11 if dx11 is not working try with dx12 and try launching the game and that will be working fine you can try both either the dx11 will be working or we have to try with dx12 and try launch the game and that will be working fine as well next one is all about we have to run the game on dedicated graphics card so just go over here in the search search for graphics settings now from here you can see this is how it looks like just go to the browse now from here navigate to this PC and we have to go to local DC go to program fx86 go for Steam and we have to navigate to steam apps go to common and here we have to navigate to Call of Duty HQ and we have to add the exe over here so as you can see it is already added so just click on this one and go to the option by default this would be let Windows decide so you have to change this from let Windows tode to high performance and go for Save once you save this just close everything and we have to go back and try launching the game next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to make sure we have to increase the virtual memory so just go over here in the search we have to go over here in The View Advanced system setting go to the advanced tab go to the settings once again go to the advanced once again and go for change make sure this is uh blank and you have to select the lockal dis where the game is installed and go for size so the custom size is 1.5 * the total dram and the maximum size three times a total Ram so just go over here we need to go for a calculator so let me get a calculator so just type your RAM so 32 GB is my Ram I have to multiply it with a constant value that is 1024 and I have to multiply it with 1.5 that brings me 1491 152 and we just need to copy this and paste next one we have to give the size for the maximum size that is three times the total Ram that is 32 GB multiplied with 1024 and we have to multiply it with three that is 9834 and we have to copy this and we have to paste it once the value is being set just close everything and we have to try launch the game and that will be working fine next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to uh update the windows which is very important so just go over here in the search and Navigator settings and we have to go over here in the Windows update and just update the windows which is very important so you have to make sure the windows is up to date and even if you're still having the trouble that is all about what we need to do is we just need to update the graphics card manually so I'll be providing a link in the description that will take you to this that to the official page of Nvidia as well as to the AMD the Nvidia users has to go over here in this page and here you have to select the product type according to your uh configuration and you can go for product series can be selected according to your configuration as well now you can select the product and you have to go for Windows 11 if you're on Windows 11 and everything should be done and go for start search and from here right now as you can see the version is Drive version is 5 46.01 and we have to download this one install restart is a mandatory and try launching the game and if you're on the AMD just go over here and select every details over here and go for submit now if you're on Windows Windows 11 download this one and if you're on Windows 10 you can download this one install restart is mandatory and try launch the game you can also try installing the Microsoft Visual C++ which is very important we can also try downloading the uh if the system is based on x64 we can download this one if the system is based on x86 you can download this one and install restart as a mandatory and try launch the game as well we can also try uh you know you need to uh link back the uh Battle.net as well as the steam which worked for many users so that is why I'm showing you guys as well so you need to sign into your activization account and once you sign into the activation account you have to you'll be getting an option to click on this uh this particular one that is clicking on the steam so that you'll be uh connected to the steam so you can do this and once you link both accounts that even worked for many users you can try this for as well next one we can also try uh uninstall and reinstall the game I don't know how this is much convenient for you guys but even though for many users uh I found this from the Reddit where many people shared when they uninstall the game and reinstalling it back which is quite uh time consuming process because it's going to take a bit of around 2 hours if you wanted to install it back onto any other drive but even it worked for many user so just go over here right click go to the manage and uninstall the game for reinstalling it back should not be installing it back not to the same local dis from which you uninstall you have to try a new lockal disc and that will be working next one is all about we can try verify Integrity of game file which is absolutely one of the great steps you have to try out because all these kind of crashing issue not launching bone launch freezing structuring lagging low FS drop even the stuck on loading screen even the black screen and all these issues can happen because you know what happens is one of the main reason is because I have to say you know if the files are corrupted they're going to definitely have an issue and even if the files are not corrupted even if what if I have to say is imagine the files are completely you know having some kind of bugs and all those things goes the issue up so we just need to remove it as well so just go over here right click and we have to go to the properties go to the installed file and just click on the verify Integrity of game file which is going to take a lot of time because uh not much time but even though it's going to take around uh 20 to 20 minutes because it's going to cross check every single file so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so as you can see the 15 ands files are validated and they uh fail to validate which means you know they are corrupted that is why we are having the issues this kind of issue so what happens is in the background these uh there is an update going on right so this updates will be fixing these 59 files and once afterwards it will be good so many users having this issue because if the files are corrupted you'll be having all these kind of trouble so what we need to do is we just need to make sure they're not uh you know uh corrupted at the same time in update will be going on in the process so you'll be getting the play button right now so just launch the game and that will be working after the update so this is what you have to do and I hope this
