In CoD MW2, players are struggling with crashes in the shooter. Now the developers have disabled a feature to investigate the problem. However, some players do not want it back even after the issue is resolved.
Few days after the release, CoD MW2 is already facing criticism. Players on Steam are calling CoD MW2 a “Crashing Simulator”. Fans of the series also report on reddit that the game crashes very frequently.
User u/WonderfulBid4989 writes in a post: “The number of crashes on PC is unacceptable. […] We were unable to play more than 2 games in a row with a group of 6 people (via reddit).”
With the problem, u/WonderfulBid4989 is obviously not alone – the post gathered over 2,800 upvotes and 816 comments (as of October 31, 2022). User a_cristian_dude also agrees and adds in the comments: “I am literally waiting in the lobby while we all crash one by one trying to join the game.”
Infinity Ward disables weapon customization feature
What have the developers done? In a statement on Twitter, Infinity Ward, the developer studio behind CoD MW2, announced on October 29 the deactivation of “Attachment Tuning”. This feature is likely causing issues and could be partly responsible for the crashes in the shooter.
The developers aim to investigate game crashes for players with 5 customized weapon attachments. Additionally, they say that players need to remove and re-equip their customized attachments to use their loadout.
You can read the full statement here:
We are temporarily disabling attachment tuning to investigate crashes for players with 5 tuned attachments. If you currently have a customized attachment equipped, you need to remove and re-equip it to use your loadout.

However, this statement does not clarify if there are any other possible reasons for crashes in the game.
What possibilities the gunsmith can offer when it works has been presented in this trailer:
“If we leave this out, it’s a better game”
How are players reacting to the deactivation? On Twitter, some players are commenting on the deactivation. Many express that they are enjoying the game and that the feature should remain disabled.
- Mr_McCarter14 via Twitter: “Remove it [the attachment tuning] completely because no one asked for it.”
- NasN2O via Twitter: “I discussed with my IRL friends that [the attachment tuning] would ruin the game somehow. Making the game too complicated just makes CoD worse.”
- blakecissel via Twitter: “I am enjoying the game right now, but honestly, if we leave [the attachment tuning] out, it is a better game.”
