Why doesn't my MW3 or COD HQ start? How to fix?

j.tsunami · Nov 19, 2023

I use a desktop (Legion T5) and for some reason my COD HQ closes every time I run the application. My game also starts from Battle Net it will open fullscreen then close out shortly after the completed loading bar. Please don't tell me I need to delete the application, there must be something wrong I'd like to know exactly what the problem is.

Hello J.tsunami, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

I'm sorry and I understand your frustration. Here are some solutions that could help you fix the problem with your MW3 or COD HQ:

Verify the integrity of the game files: In the Blizzard Battle.net desktop app, select Call of Duty: MW 3 from the left menu. Click Options and select Scan and Repair. Then, wait for the repair to complete.

Disable conflicting software programs: If conflicting software programs are running in the background, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will not start

Update drivers for Razer Synapse and graphics card: Make sure your graphics card and Razer Synapse drivers are up to date

Run Steam or Battle.net as administrator: Make sure you are running Steam or Battle.net as administrator

Add COD to antivirus exceptions list: Some antivirus programs can block certain games. Make sure to add COD to your antivirus's exception list.

Enable ASLR in Windows: Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Make sure it is enabled

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact us again.

It is literally a MW 2.5. No major advances or changes. Which to some is a good thing, because why fix something that doesn't need fixing?

I sold my copy of MW3 personally because I had gotten bored of the doing the same thing which was leveling up.

To have to start again in another years time when the next COD comes out.

No as that's for existing mw3 customers not people who download the cod app

It is but not what you think

All cod games now have the cod launcher

You can use mw3 hq for the sake of warzone which is free

Mw3 isn't free

If you buy the vault upgrade you would.need to buy the base game meaning you still.spend 100

Keep in mind mw3 is on sale right now 15 % off

Could you provide a screenshot of this?

Also, make sure you have selected MW2 in-game and not MW3. Both games are shown in the COD HQ now.

Thanks,
Kyle

Unfortuanatly, Skorpianz is already tired of BF3, which is why he's on the forum, jerkin it and calling CoD a bad game. Too bad he doesn't realize how big of a downfall BF3 is going to look when MW3 comes out.
