Since the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, players on the Xbox One X have been plagued by another problem in addition to server issues. Apparently, the new Modern Warfare is causing the most powerful console from Microsoft to crash for some players.
Here’s how the launch of Modern Warfare went: The release of Modern Warfare was rolled out worldwide by region and was quite smooth – until around 2 AM German time when North America joined in.
The servers could not withstand the massive influx of players and went down. Nothing worked anymore. However, the situation has improved, and the servers are running stable again.
But another serious problem is currently troubling some players on Microsoft’s console flagship.
What’s causing the crashes? Since the release of Modern Warfare 2019, reports of so-called hard crashes on the Xbox One X have been increasing.
A corresponding Reddit thread titled “So… the game is causing our Xbox One X’s to hard crash…” has received over 21,000 upvotes in about 9 hours (as of 9:00 AM German time). In more than 1,600 comments, numerous Xbox users share their woes – and the numbers are rising.
It looks like the game often crashes the Xbox One X – and this happens in various situations. A clear pattern for how the crashes occur is not yet recognizable. The game simply freezes while playing – whether in the campaign or in multiplayer. Often, the console does not respond afterward or even shuts down. Some report multiple crashes within just a few minutes.
Is there anything players can do? Not really. While players are actively discussing in the relevant thread, a universal solution that players can implement themselves does not seem to exist yet. So all that’s left is to wait.
What are the developers saying? There is still no official solution for the problem. Moreover, it is not yet clear how widespread the crashes are. Because even though the Reddit thread is almost exploding, the developers have so far mentioned only a small number of affected players.
However, Infinity Ward is currently giving this problem high priority; they are already on it and working on a fix.
However, when this will happen is unclear. A specific timeframe has not been provided so far, but players will be kept updated.
Have you also experienced such problems on the Xbox One X? Or were you able to play without issues? How did the launch of Modern Warfare go for you?
