Call of Duty is completely broken on PC right now with constant crashes to desktop

It appears that Call of Duty, including everything in the COD HQ like Modern Warfare 2, Warzone and Black Ops 6, is completely broken on PC. For the past hour, PC gamers are unable to even get to the main menu as the game will constantly crash to desktop.

So here is the deal. After a long day, I’ve decided to resume my progress in the single-player campaign of Black Ops 6. As I’ve said, you can only launch Black Ops 6 via COD HQ. However, the game will hang up at the “Loading playerstats” screen and after five minutes, it will crash to desktop.

We are not the only ones experiencing this issue. A lot of PC gamers on Steam have reported the exact same thing. So, in a nutshell, Call of Duty is completely broken on PC as we speak. And no. If you have those crashes, know that you are not alone.

What’s more crazy here is that the devs have not commented yet on these issues. Right now, both Activision and Treyarch act like nothing has happened. So, there is a chance PC gamers may not be able to play this game for the entire weekend.

I also don’t know whether these issues are exclusive to the PC. I’ve heard some console gamers facing similar issues. Still, it’s not clear whether this is something that only affects the PC or all platforms.

This is exactly why Treyarch should have used a separate executable file for the single-player campaign of Black Ops 6. Due to these connectivity issues, you cannot play a single-player game. Again, this is one of the most anti-consumer practices I’ve seen. It’s also one of the few instances I wished someone had cracked the game.

I mean, let this sink in. We are at a point where someone who has purchased the game wishes for someone to crack it so that he can actually play it. At this point, it makes more sense for me to open YouTube and watch a “movie” of the campaign. At least I’ll have watched it by the end of the weekend.

To be honest, if it wasn’t my job, I wouldn’t have purchased Black Ops 6. And although I always had a soft spot for its campaign, I feel like the devs and the publisher have done everything in their power to turn me away from it. So, great job Treyarch. But hey, who cares. The game has sold well so Treyarch and Activision will not learn anything at all from this whole mess. Instead, they’ll keep milking their golden cow!
