How To Fix COD MW2 Beta Crashing

There are a few different troubleshooting methods that you can try out to fix the COD MW2 beta crash issue. 

Update Graphics Driver 

Update your graphics driver to the latest version to fix the COD MW2 beta crash issue. As you may know, when a big title is about to launch, Nvidia and AMD both optimize their graphics card hardware to run the game on the best possible settings and fix any issue they found during internal testing. So it is recommended to download the latest version of your graphics card driver and then try to run the COD MW2 beta.

Re-Integrate Game Files

While downloading the COD MW 2, the game files get corrupted if the process is interrupted many times, sometimes for unknown reasons. As a result, players often encounter crashes and other similar issues. So, we recommend players to go to Steam Library, right-click on the COD MW2 beta, go to properties and then navigate to Local Files. 

In the Local Files section, you will find the “Verify integrity of game files” option. Proceed with it and verify if the COD MW2 beta game files are in good condition or broken. 

If the game files have an issue, re-download the COD MW2 beta. Console players can also re-download the beta if they face crash-related problems while playing the MW2 beta. 

Turn Off Third-Party Audio Engines, Streaming Software, and Other Such Things

Many times, third-party audio engines and some streaming software cause a black screen and crash while playing games. That is why we recommend turning off third-party streaming software and audio engines if you are facing a COD MW2 beta crash issue. 

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is coming to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
