Disabled Avast and Comodo, unblocked battlenet, not working.
Same here - tried everything!
Another user had this problem. His fix worked for me:
If you have Citrix Workspace installed, delete it.
You can re install it later

Same here, running comodo AV as well and other firewall but these never ever interfere.
Same here, no other AV than Windows
Bruh same here! I hope they fix this quick!! my bros all want to play with me… cuz im a Heavy gunner… and oops i can’t freaking play… damn them and their consoles. please blizzard or activision fix this lol
Thanks, worked for me too!
No this is not working. Removing citrix doesn’t work for all users. I’ve confirmed this and as well checked with several people that removed citrix. same problem remains.

Same issue launching, then playing now, then back to play. Give us the patch activision

very likely due to a new game functionality to detect exploits/cheats.
Intercept X, HitmanPro.Alert, Citrix apps (and probably a ton of other AV/Anti-Exploit stuff) inject code into the ModernWarfare.exe which the game probably blocks as it thinks its being injected by some kind of cheat/hacking software.
Excluding ModernWarfare.exe from Exploit Mitigation in Sophos (Intercept X / HitmanPro.Alert) allows the game to launch again.

Thank you! This worked for me.
Played 1st 2 updates then after 25gig update I click play on battle net and my pc restarts. Does it every time now. Unfortuanetly I only have windows defender so I don’t think it’s my av…

I have the same issue, pressing play > playing… > play.
Checked windows event viewer and have seen similar entries as mentioned above.
All these AVs I don’t recognize or find on my pc. This is a pc from work, so probably they have some AV running I don’t know about…
Please activision fix this on your side by a hot fix update. Must be happening to a lot of people, right?

Same problem except I’m using Bitdefender. Added to exceptions, removed Citrix, repaired game, reinstalled, updated GPU drivers.
Activision/Raven - help please

Will reinstalling Citrix workspace later on, not cause the same problem of the game not opening? Thanks.
