If you’re like me, trying to launch into a brand new season or an update but getting greeted with a black screen instead, don’t worry. Below, I will teach you how to fix the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 black screen error.
Steps to fix the Call of Duty Warzone black screen error
This error may occur right after an update or a new season of the game. It happens due to discrepancies with the update or simply corrupt files, but it may also be due to issues with your PC. To fix it, you should:
All the steps to troubleshoot the MW3 black screen error
- Verify your game–file integrity
- Battlenet: Open battle.net and head into options, where you can Scan and Repair your files.
- Steam: Go into your Steam library and right click the game then head into the installed files. Here, you can verify the integrity of your game files.
- Check for updates
- Call of Duty: This error happens following an update. So, check for any game updates which may include a hotfix to resolve your issues.
- PC: I’ve been plagued by many DirectX errors with Call of Duty, and updating your PC through both Windows update or the manufacturer’s website fixed these errors for me.
- Look up the game’s online status
- You can see if the game servers are facing any issues by heading to the Activision server status page. Additionally, I also recommend you stay in touch with the game’s Reddit and X pages to see if anyone has reported any issues recently.
Between each of these steps, I highly suggest you restart your PC because sometimes, turning it off and back on really does the job for you. If your game still doesn’t work, I suggest you get in touch with Activision Support where they will be able to help you with any issues caused by their side.
