How to Fix COD Warzone Pacific Crashing Error
There are many ways to fix the COD Warzone Pacific Crashing Error. Most of them are generic fixes but are the most effective ones. Here are the fixes.
Check for Windows Update
Usually, software like games tends to malfunction when there is a compatibility issue with the Software and with the OS of your System, like Windows. So, keeping a check on your Windows Updates is Key.
To check for OS updates, go to your Start Menu and click on the Settings button.
- In Settings, there will be an Update & Security option. Click on it and your Windows Update Tab should open up.
- In this Tab, there should be an option to Check for updates.
- Click it and see if there are any pending updates, if so then Download and install them.
Update your Graphics Card Drivers
Just like your System OS, your Graphic cards should be up to date. Go to your Graphic card through the Start Menu and search for any updates, if there are any.
Another way you can check for updates is by searching for the latest versions of your Graphics Card Drivers online. If there are new versions, then download and install them. The newer version will override the older version so do not uninstall your Graphics Drivers.
Change the Compatibility in Properties to fix the Crashing error
Here is another fix if the above two fixes didn’t work. In Battle.net, find COD Warzone. When you open up the games page, you will see a Gear Cog icon next to the Play Button. This is the Settings button and in it, you should click on the Show in Explorer option. This should open the File Explorer and the Call of Duty Warzone Modern Warfare folder you can see.
Click it and in it, there will be an Application File called Modern Warfare Launcher. Right-click it and select Properties. In the Properties Window, select the Compatibility tab and check the boxes of these two options.
- Disable fullscreen optimizations.

If there are multiple users on your PC then click the Change settings for all users. After all of this click on Apply and then OK. Now under the Modern Warfare Launcher file, there should be a ModernWarfare Application File. Do the same steps as mentioned above.
