Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Crashing [FIXED]

Here we go again! Another AAA title is out and with it comes a flood of errors and crashes. Players have waited for a whole long year for the Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2, only to face tons of performance issues mid-game and on launch. Most of these MW2 problems are present on PC. To cater to the needs of the gaming community, we have lined up plenty of solutions for various Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Crashes, Issues, and Errors.

Modern Warfare 2 Stuck At “Connecting” 

Players have encountered a new in-game bug in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. We have already covered various errors in this guide which talks about crashes and blackouts. However, the ‘Stuck at “Connecting“‘ error occurs when you’re searching for a game in Call of Duty MW2 Multiplayer. When players load up the game and enter the Quick Play mode and search for a match, the game begins to connect to a lobby.

However, the game seems to get stuck in a loop when the icon reads ‘Connecting‘. Players reported online that they waited for lengthy periods yet the game continued ‘Connecting’ to a lobby. Many gamers tried fixing the issue by restarting their consoles, systems, and game. The problem, however, kept returning again and again. 

As of right now, there isn’t any fix that totally kills the Connecting Error in Modern Warfare 2. Although, we have found some easy workarounds to avoid the error for a temporary period. You don’t need to restart anything, and our method is way quicker than the ones you’d find on the internet. Here are all the Fixes for the stuck at ‘Connecting’ error in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

1. If you’re in a party, then ask the Party Leader to disband the squad and then re-invite them. Doing so has fixed the Connecting Error in Quick Play for many players. If you are the party leader, then you can perform the step yourself.
2. The Second method is the one we have tried the most and found successful every time. Regardless of the fact, if you’re playing alone or are at a party. Simply back out of the Quick Play mode and pick any other mode (Ground War or Invasion), press Play, and let the game connect and search for a lobby. Once it clears up the ‘Connecting‘ section and begins searching for a match (with an indicated ping), simply back out. Now go back to the Quick Play mode and Press play.

If you follow the second method, then your COD Modern Warfare 2 will easily bypass the Connecting Stuck Error. It will no longer get stuck at the Connecting loop in Multiplayer mode. With that, the in-game connectivity bug shouldn’t concern you anymore for a while. If you run into the error again simply follow the above-mentioned steps until Infinity Ward releases a patch fix.

Modern Warfare 2 Disconnected From Steam Error

Adding to the list of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 performance issues on PC, we have the ‘Disconnected from Steam Error‘. Getting disconnected mid-game or while causing chaos on the field can be quite annoying. Recently, there have been a lot of reports submitted online by players. Claiming that they kept facing the issue on Steam while playing MW2. 

It is to be noted that gamers who bought and launch the game through Battle.net arent facing such issues. The Disconnection error is only exclusive to the players who are playing Call of Duty MW2 from Steam. Luckily, we have done the tough work for you and found some authentic fixes for the Disconnected from Steam error on MW2. 

The methods to fix the game are quite straightforward and easy to perform. Some of these solutions were also used in prior errors in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. With that said, let us dive right into it and help you fix yet another connection error in Modern Warfare 2.

Disable Texture Streaming

Texture Streaming can be way too much load for many systems. AAA titles are already pretty bulky to run when you have a moderate PC. Recently, a lot of games have implemented high-end graphic settings which enhance the visuals of the game at the cost of extra bandwidth or CPU usage.

Similarly, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has included the ‘On-Demand Texture Streaming‘ feature in its settings. It allows players to load up textures while they play the game. This can lead to unannounced crashes if your system is unable to handle the pressure. Therefore it is best to turn this feature off and then run the game. As per our findings, a lot of players have found this fix fruitful against the ‘Disconnected from Steam’ error on Modern Warfare 2.

Clear Steam Web Browser Data

‘Clearing Steam Web Browser Data‘ was another common solution we found among the Call of Duty MW2 forums online. You perform this step by simply venturing into the Settings of your Steam engine. While you’re at it, Clear the Download Cache, which is capable of fixing many other performance issues in COD MW2.

Once you open up Steam, click the ‘Steam‘ option in the top left corner. From the drop-down menu pick ‘Settings‘. You will now see the Settings window appear in front of you, go to the ‘Web Browser‘ category and click ‘Delete Web Browser Data‘. Similarly, choose the ‘Downloads‘ option in Settings to ‘Clear Download Cache‘.

Other Fixes

Above we mentioned some common fixes that many players claimed were successful against the MW2 Steam error. You can also try out the following basic troubleshooting steps for Disconnected from Steam error in Modern Warfare 2.

First up you should Verify the Integrity of the game files on Steam. You can do this by right-clicking on Call of Duty MW2 from your library and choosing ‘Properties‘. After that pick ‘Local Files‘. Finally press the tab which reads ‘Verify Integrity of game files‘. Other than that, you can also try running Modern Warfare 2 as an Admin. Or you could also disable background apps and in-game overlays to allow your PC to focus on MW2 solely. 

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Travis Rilea Error

Connection issues seem to be the new norm with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Maybe it’s the server traffic or your own internet connection. Either way, it is never nice to get hit with a connectivity error in MW2. While we’re at it, let us talk about the recent Travis Rilea Connection Failed Error that a lot of players are facing while playing Call of Duty MW2.

It is worth mentioning that the Travis Rilea error can also be caused by server problems from the back end. Hence, it is best that you check Activision, Steam, PSN, and Xbox Server Statuses before trying to fix the issue.

Luckily, the Travis Rilea Modern Warfare 2 error is quite easy to fix and isn’t causing as many problems as some of the other errors are. With that said, here are some quick fixes you can run on your system to eliminate the connectivity issue.

Fixes For Travis Rilea Error In MW2

According to Reddit, the Connection Failed Error seems to be linked with Steam. The Travis Rilea issue in Modern Warfare 2 should be resolved if you totally shut down Steam from your PC and end it through the task manager before restarting the engine. Many people claimed that a safe full restart of Steam fixed the issue for them. Other than that you can also restart your game and see if that makes a difference as well.

Secondly, we would recommend you check your Internet’s NAT Type as well. If your Internet is set at NAT Type 2 or 3, then that could also lead you to connectivity issues in games like Call of Duty MW2. The best setting to go for is NAT Type 1 (Open), as it allows you to join servers without any hiccups. 

Lastly, it’s best to run the game on a wired internet connection. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 can face a lot of connectivity issues if you’re playing it on Wifi. So, if possible, switch your connection to wired and let your Modern Warfare 2 flow at full speed without any connectivity issues like the Travis Rilea Error.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Hueneme Concord Error 

Another common issue that players are facing is the Hueneme Concord Error in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Unlike the other errors we have mentioned in this guide, the Hueneme error has nothing to do with your system or specifications. It is rather linked to your internet connection and Call of Duty servers. Hence fixing the issue can be a bit tedious.

Fortunately, we have collected some top-tier tried and tested methods that have the potential to fix the Hueneme Concord error. However, you will need to remain patient while pulling them off since some of the methods consist of technical steps.

Trying to locate the cause of the problem behind connectivity issues can be tricky and tiresome. However, you don’t need to dive that deep into it. With that said, here are some of the best methods to fix the Hueneme Error in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

Clear Cache

The most common fix for the MW2 Hueneme Concord error that we’ve found and tried ourselves is by clearing the cache on your PC or gaming console. It won’t take long and can be done in a matter of minutes (except for on PlayStation). With that said, here is a quick rundown of how you can clear the cache on your respective platform. 

Players who have bought and downloaded Call of Duty MW2 on Steam can clear the cache by launching the engine. Click on the ‘Steam‘ button on the top left corner and choose ‘Settings‘ from the drop-down menu. Then go to ‘Downloads‘ and click the ‘Clear Download Cache‘ option, and you’re done!

If you’re playing through the Battle.net engine, then you need to access the ‘%ProgramData%‘ folder through the Run app. After that, choose and delete the Blizzard Entertainment folder. Doing so will clear the cache on the engine.

Xbox users will first need to fully shut down their console from the ‘Sleep Mode & Startup‘ settings. After that, unplug your system and then restart it after a while. Once the Xbox is up again, head towards the ‘Network Settings‘ and click on ‘Advanced Settings‘. Now pick the ‘Alternate MAC Address’ and click Clear.

PS4/PS5 users need to enter Safe Mode in order to clear the cache on the console. You can enter the Safe Mode by turning your PS off and then holding down the Power Button for up to 7 seconds until you hear Two Beeps. In the Safe Mode menu, click the ‘Rebuild Database‘ option and then choose ‘Clear Cache / Rebuild Database‘.

Use A VPN

For the vast majority of players, turning on a VPN has been successful. But it’s merely a short-term solution since switching servers can be a nuisance because of the lag. Even though it’s a mediocre approach, it nonetheless solves the Hueneme Concord problem in MW2 and is by far the most effective solution discovered so far.

A VPN connection is rather simple to make. Low-quality VPNs obviously do not work well with video games, though. As a result, you must have access to software like NordVPN or ExpressVPN if you intend to use the strategy. Open the appropriate VPN provider, then choose a location close to where you are right now. Doing so will keep your latency at a minimum.

Other Fixes

Other than the fixes we have mentioned above, there are some other makeshift solutions to fix the Hueneme Error in MW2. We will keep these solutions brief, although you can find more information in our in-depth Hueneme Error Fix Guide. With that said, you can try out the following methods if the VPN and Clearing Cache don’t work for you.

First and foremost, try switching your Internet Connection. You can disconnect from the internet your system is connected to right now and then try linking up with either your mobile’s hotspot or another connection provided by a different ISP. Since the issue is caused because of connectivity issues, the change of connection can potentially eliminate the Hueneme Concord Error in MW2.

You can also set up Port Forwarding to open up new ports for your console or PC. The port forwarding method is very technical; to pull it off, you will first need a Static IP Address and then head to your Router’s Settings through the browser. Locate the Port Forwarding section and enter the relevant TCP or UDP (mentioned in our full Hueneme Error guide).

One more issue that a lot of gamers on PC have been facing is the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Dev Error 356. The error has occurred right on launch and even during playthroughs for many people. We searched around the Internet and found out that the error was caused by problems in the main directory files of the game.

Hence, you will need to perform some basic steps while trying to fix Dev Error 356 in Call of Duty MW2. If these do not work out for you, then you can also try tampering with the bandwidth speeds of your Internet. With that said, here is a quick coverage of how you can fix Dev Error 356 in MW2.

Since the problem arises from bad or corrupt files in Modern Warfare 2, the first thing you should do is Verify the Game Files through the respective engines. Starting off, open Steam launcher and then go to your Library. From here, choose ‘Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2‘ and right-click on it, and pick the ‘Properties‘ option. After the properties open up, choose the ‘Local Files‘ option and then click ‘Verify Integrity of game files‘.

On the other hand, if you’re using Battle.net then here are all the steps you need to follow. Firstly, open the Battle.net engine and go to the ‘Games‘ tab and choose ‘Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2‘. Now find the Settings icon next to the blue ‘Play’ button. Press the settings icon and choose the ‘Scan and Repair‘ button from the drop-down menu.

There you have it, a quick run-through of how you can verify and repair Call of Duty MW2 files on Steam and Battle.net. If the error continues to appear, then you can also try playing the game after connecting to a VPN.

These gamers are not facing any issues while launching the game on their PC, PS, or Xbox. However, once they get to the main menu or play a multiplayer match, the game instantly crashes. 

One of the most common MW2 errors faced by players on PC was the ‘game_ship.exe‘ error. The Modern Warfare 2 subreddit was filled with users complaining about the error. Many people pointed out that the issue was not caused by Steam or Blizzard. Therefore, you don’t need to ponder about the engine you are launching the game from.

Meanwhile, a minority of PS and Xbox players also faced mid-game crashes while playing Call of Duty MW2.

Luckily, we have the right fix for you regarding these MW2 crash bugs on PC and other gaming consoles.

Disable Overlay Apps

The first simple step you can perform to fix the problem is by disabling any overlay apps you have running in the background.

As for the rest of the software, you can find the Overlay option in the General Settings. You can then proceed to turn them off to improve the performance of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

Scan & Repair

If you’re already well accustomed to the Battle.net engine then you’d be similar to their ‘Scan & Repair‘ feature. For those who are new to the engine, the scan and repair feature is similar to the ‘Verify Integrity of game files’ on Steam. It lets the user allow Battle.net to find any broken or corrupt files inside a game. 

Sometimes these broken files can cause major issues in a game. Hence, it is likely that your Call of Duty MW2 on the PC could have some bad files which need some fixing. Such files can cause crashes, bugs, and lags in MW2. The good thing about the ‘Scan and Repair’ feature is that it not only points out the problem but also fixes it too.

4. From the drop-down menu, choose the ‘Scan & Repair‘ option.
5. A prompt box should pop up now, choose ‘Begin Scan‘.

Your PC will now take some time to fully scan the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 game files, after which it will fix any issues it finds. Once the scan and repair are complete, restart your system and then try your luck by running MW2 to check if it still crashes.

Parallax Effect

A lot of PC gamers have faced an MW2 crashing issue, where a prompt box appears with the statement which reads, ‘Unfortunately, the application has unexpectedly stopped working. Trying a ‘Scan and Repair’ might solve the issue.’ 

The problem is that many people who faced this crash error tried using the ‘Scan and Repair’ feature. However, it didn’t seem to solve the issue. Luckily, we found the solution on how you can fix the scan and repair error in MW2 on a PC. The steps are simple and will require you to open the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 in-game settings.

1. Open Battle.net on your PC
2. Choose Call of Duty MW2 from the library and run it.
3. Go to the in-game Settings.
4. Choose the Interface sub-option inside the settings tab.
5. Scroll down until your find the ‘Parallax Effects‘ and turn it Off.

This simple fix will make the ‘scan and repair’ error go away on your PC. Once you’re all done, simply restart MW2 and then wreak havoc without any worries about your game getting crashed.

Call Of Duty Screen Flickering Bug On PC

Apart from all the crashes and bugs, a lot of players on PC have also been noticing screen flickers while playing MW2, which is usually followed by the game crashing. The issue has been exclusively experienced by Nvidia users. 

Gamers with Nvidia graphic cards have noticed constant issues with the display of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. If you’re also experiencing this issue, then don’t panic. The problem isn’t with the GPU or your Screen, however, your GPU drivers are the reason why the game isn’t running properly. 

It seems like the latest Nvidia GPU driver is not fully supporting Call of Duty MW2 right now for many gamers. Fortunately, there is an easy fix that you can perform to head clear of this Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 bug. All you need to do is Roll Back your Nvidia drivers on your PC.
