Call of Duty *NEW patch 4/22/2021* - Won't launch

Could play the game without issues until this patch…

UPDATE!!! I GOT MY GAME WORKING on step (5) see below.
THIS MIGHT WORK from [zios007]

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

  1. I ran first a sfc /scannow

It found some issues and after a restart it found Windows Updates which I installed. However, the game was still not working.

  1. I uninstalled the Nvidia Drivers and tried with the windows 10 standard nvidia drivers. Did not work.
  2. Installed once again the Nvidia Drivers vs. 466.11
    Did not work.
  3. I´ve read in the Activition page to update Synaptic from Razer. So I opened it and updated it, there was an update.
  4. Also read for those with COMODO Antivirus, which I do not have, but I do have the Firewall to go to: Settings > Advanced Protection > Miscellaneous > Don’t detect shellcode injections in these applications. I’ve added the game folder “Call of Duty Modern Warfare”

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Heres what i tried to do:

-Reinstalled Battle.net
-Reinstalled Call of duty
-Scann to repair Call of duty
-Updated drivers
-Reinstalled drivers
-checked firewall / added allow to ensure

My pc:
Windows 10 Pro / 64 bit * latest updates *
Nvidia Graphics 8gb * latest drivers *

Nothing works! Anyone have a fix?
Update: 24 hours and still nothing!

I got the same problem. I can’t open the game. When I try to run the game it shows me an alert “Program Call of Duty Modern Warfare stopped working”
I have tried many solutions for example with deleting files less than 2mb, .idx files, removing Battlenet and also moving the game from my friends PC who has no problems. I avoided downloading the whole game today but it might by my last chance.

Man I have done exactly what you have done and I am having the same problem. Ive reinstalled both programs 4 times now and I cant get it to work. I had no issues what so ever with patches until this one. I hope we get a fix very soon.

Literally just bought the game an hour ago, cant play anything, just stuck at the connecting screen till I get an error. Just want to play the campaign at least but noooooooooo… cant do that without connecting. Where is the refund button? can’t find that either.
