MW2 PC Crashing: Known Issues

At the moment, there is a known PC crashing cause that is creating havoc for plenty of Modern Warfare 2 players. When you try to play MW2 while queued up in a party, the game is prone to crashing. Infinity Ward acknowledged this issue on Twitter, saying that it is investigating the issue.

There are a few easy ways that you can help to prevent PC crashing in Modern Warfare 2. Firstly, you should check to make sure that your PC meets the minimum system requirements to run the game. If your PC is not up to scratch, then it is likely that the game will slow down and ultimately crash your system. You can check the Modern Warfare 2 system requirements here.

Another cause of crashing could be if you haven't updated your graphics drivers in a while. Be sure to check the website of your graphics card provider and update to the latest driver settings available. This will ensure that Modern Warfare 2 runs as smoothly as possible.

It's also worth ensuring that your game is fully up to date. You can do this in one of two ways - firstly, you can check to see whether there is a new update for the game. Secondly, you can verify the integrity of your game files to make sure there are no installation errors. All of this will help prevent your PC from crashing while playing MW2.

Lastly, it might be that your PC just needs a system restart. It might be that a background process is interfering with MW2, so it's best to give your PC a complete system restart before trying to load up Modern Warfare 2. Hopefully, this should help to prevent PC crashing while playing the latest Call of Duty.
