This guide is to help players who are having issues running Call of Duty: Warzone on PC.

 

Important Notes:

Graphic Card Drivers

If you're experiencing graphical issues in Call of Duty: Warzone, be sure to install the applicable video card drivers listed below.

  • Nvidia: The recommended driver version for Call of Duty: Warzone is 526.86.
  • AMD: The recommended driver version for Call of Duty: Warzone is 22.9.1.

For issues with antivirus software:

 

If you are running antivirus software, we recommend adding the entire Call of Duty: Warzone game folder to your antivirus exception list.

  • For Comodo users: Select Settings → Advanced Protection → Miscellaneous → Detect Shell Code Injections [Exclusion] and add the entire Call of Duty: Warzone game folder to the exclusion list.
  • For BullGuard users: Select Settings → Main and uncheck Self protection.



If issues still persist:

 

  • If you are using Razer Synapse, make sure to update to the latest driver.
  • Perform a clean boot and only start up with the bare minimum programs: How to perform a clean boot in Windows
  • If the game doesn't start and you have disabled ASLR on Windows, re-enable it.
  • Disable NZXT CAMMSI Afterburner, and Razer Cortex, as these can conflict with Call of Duty: Warzone.

 

You can provide critical information to help identify, investigate, and resolve game crashes on PC by submitting a Call of Duty PC Crash Report.
