Not just another sequel to the saga, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is, according to Activision, a title that marks the beginning of a new era for the entire franchise. The game has by far the most realistic touch and impressive level of detail.
New releases usually contain some bumps and bugs. Modern Warfare 2 hasn't been left out and has a peculiar new bug that prevents players from experiencing the week-long Early Access Campaign mode until its official launch on October 28th. The bug is related to the unplayable campaign mode, as the game automatically quits.
Modern Warfare 2 bug causing campaign mode to crash
Modern Warfare 2 had a few bugs in its beta stage when multiplayer was available to all fans. Most of the issues have been resolved by publishers and partner studios, and permanent fixes have been provided through updates.
A new title bug repeatedly crashes the game at random times during Campaign Mode missions. This made the experience ragged and unsettling, as mission progress must be redone repeatedly if the player does not reach the next checkpoint.
Possible Fixes
No fixed solutions have permanently suppressed this bug on the player side, but they have been successful in some reports. Fans can follow these steps to try and fix this recurring issue that made the missions unplayable.
- Change game settings related to "cache" to "On" and lower graphics settings that may have been automatically set to "Ultra" or "Extreme". This can reduce some of the load on the system and solve the crash issue.
- The other approach can be a bit tedious as players have to restart the mission from the last checkpoint and replay the progress they got. Restarting the mission from the beginning solved the problem for several people.
- Fans can also try to check local files using the appropriate game client - Battle.net or Steam. This will allow the system to detect inconsistencies and missing files in the downloaded game folder and re-download them, possibly fixing the game crash bug.
Possible reasons
Modern Warfare 2 is scheduled to release next week, and the publishers are only giving away a week of early access to the campaign mode for fans who pre-purchased the game. This could very well be another set of tests that Infinity Ward is running to observe the behavior of the final game.
There may be server errors due to which files are not fully loaded, which can cause the game to crash abruptly. There may also be optimization issues with the game that conflict with the platforms it is available on and quick exits due to some kind of incompatibility.
The global launch of Modern Warfare 2 is a week away, giving Activision plenty of time to iron out the edges of the game. Follow our news about new bugs, their fixes and other interesting things on our pages.
