It appears that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty Warzone 2 are currently broken on AMD RX Vega series GPUs. According to multiple reports, owners of AMD RX Vega 56 and Vega 64 cannot launch the game at all.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 were playable on the Vega GPUs at launch. However, with the release of Season 3, the game is no longer playable on these GPUs. Upon launching it, owners of Vega GPUs receive the following DirectX error.
When MW2 launched in October 2022, the Vega 64 was able to push over 70fps at 1080p/Extreme Settings. In short, this particular GPU was powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience.
On April 17th, Beenox acknowledged this issue. However, there is still no fix for this, almost half a month afterward.
We're investigating a crash on boot affecting AMD VEGA users on WZ2 and MWII. The team is actively working to get it fixed.

So, this is a PSA article for those encountering this DirectX error. If you own a Vega GPU, you can no longer play Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2. We also don’t know when Beenox will fix it. Here is hoping that the team will push a hotfix in the coming weeks.
Kudos to our reader “Oren” for informing us about this issue!

Its like every gaming company nowadays are competing at who are the most incompetent on pc
they fired all the competent coders that don’t comply with their “rainbow agenda” and replace them with blue haired LGBTQ++ Twitter freaks that think that C++ is a sort of a sexual orientation !
They’re also doing an impressive job with competing at who are the most incompetent on consoles, too.
Good thing my friends and I are mostly playing retro games right now
People in reddit keep defending this damn company/game despite this horrible practices going on. I remember seeing someone saying “that looks like a you problem” despite being a known issue, he probably didn’t know but still, such an idiotic response. They also defend ruining the game with MTX, so… Yeah.
Sorry, I had to vent.
This is just unacceptable, in no other products outside of gaming have i experience such a low level of care for the customer.
+ P2W in DMZ
People?! Even dumb people manages at some point get this is no bueno.
Reddit is full of literal NPCs, bots and paid shills/astroturfers, those are not “people”.
Bu konu hakk?nda bilgi vermeniz çok güzel. Genellikle türkçe içerikler az oluyor fakat böyle güzel içerikler görmek ve okumak çok zevkli.
it’s happens when you replace competent coders with Blue haired MoFos LGBT/SJW/BLM/Feminist cockroaches for the “Quotas” …
Either that or pajeets

Nothing new.
MW2019 and WZ1 were broken for months on AMD cards with bugged shadows and sight reticle textures.
First the blamed AMD drivers which a fake news, and after few patches it was fixed in a silent way without any info in patch notes.
The game has always been broken i got killen yesterday with one shot in the foot from a smg time to hill erratic hit marker always been eatic bullets travel through targets replays different from game play bring back the days of perfect accuracy when you could push the button on your mouse and new you hit the target before it did that was called CALL OF DUTY WORLD AT WAR
AMD = Another Massive Disappointment
I have the same error multiple times trying to load the game, in occasion the game loads, most of the time I see the error code 0x887A0005: DirectX encountered unrecoverable error. I have Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080Ti. I hope the issue get resolved too.
Thanks for highlighting the problem.
Haven’t been able to play on my Vega56 box since Season 3 launched. Windows and drivers are all up to date. Luckily this isn’t my main gaming box but considering it ran the game quite well at 1080p, I’d like there to be a fix. Neither the game devs nor AMD appear to be in any particular hurry though.
