You can access the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 a whole week ahead of time by preordering it, unlike the people who buy the game on release day. But the good news for those still on the fence about MW2 is that plenty of bugs won’t be fixed until later, so you won’t have to suffer like early adopters. One of the major problems with Modern Warfare 2 is frequently crashing and sending the players back to their desktops. If you face the same problem, this article explains how to fix the campaign crashing on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
How to Fix The Campaign Crashing in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
We have scoured the depths of Reddit to bring you three fixes for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign crashing. They have been listed below:
- Scanning and repairing corrupted game files
Scanning your game files is the first method to help you solve the game crashing issue. Sometimes your game files can corrupt, mostly due to unpredicted shutdowns during installation or while running the game.Â
You can scan and fix files that may have become corrupt on Battle.net and Steam. Select MW2 on Battle.net, click the gear icon next to the Play button, and then select Scan and Repair. Right-click MW2 on Steam, select Properties, Local Files, and then Verify Integrity of Files.
- Updating your graphics drivers
An old GPU or CPU can, at best, create hiccups and, at worst, crashes. Fortunately, every graphics card manufacturer offers free driver upgrades. Visit the websites of AMD, NVIDIA, or Intel to download and resolve the game bugs you have been experiencing.
- Switching up your graphics settings
If you have your game graphics dialed up, you should be aware that these beautiful graphics have a price, and if you’re pushing the hardware to its breaking point, nothing you do will matter unless you turn it back a few notches. Shaders and Shadows are the initial graphics settings to focus on, but you can modify other options if you need to until the issue is resolved.
