Players with a specific line of AMD GPUs have been experiencing crashes since the update.
On April 12, Call of Duty received its biggest multiplayer update since the release of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 with the launch of Season 3.The new season added a pile of new maps, guns, modes, and features—as well as adding one fairly significant bug.
Since the update, players with AMD Vega GPUs have been experiencing immediate crashes on booting both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, accompanied by a “DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error” message. It’s also affecting players with Vega-based hardware, like the Radeon VII and pretty much every integrated GPU on a Ryzen processor.
After several days of complaints, including a thread on the Steam forums (opens in new tab) that now has over 1,000 replies, Beenox—the Canadian studio at Activision Blizzard responsible for handling the PC versions of Call of Duty—acknowledged the issue on Twitter (opens in new tab).
