Some Call of Duty players have encountered a startup issue where the game displays a black screen and crashes after a few minutes, accompanied by an error suggesting file verification problems. One report from October 2026 details a player using a GTX 970 and Intel i5-3350 who verified game files twice without resolving the issue. This problem affects game launch stability and may involve file corruption or compatibility conflicts. Players experiencing this should monitor official channels for developer updates or community troubleshooting advice.
