It appears that the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare suffers from some technical/visual issues. As we’ve already reported, the game requires a constant Internet connection even for its single-player mode. Not only that, but the game suffers from major pop-in and cutscene stutters issues.
Below you can find a video showcasing the awful pop-in issues. This video footage was captured with all of the graphics settings enabled. As such, PC gamers will have to deal with these pop-ins and there is no way to fix them (at least for now).
Moreover, there are some awful stutters during the briefing cut-scenes. These cut-scenes are right before a mission starts (they are in video format and not real-time). As a result of these stutters, the game’s audio desynchronizes, thus making the cut-scenes feel really awkward. Now the good news here is that the in-game cut-scenes work perfectly fine.
Once you notice them, the pop-in issues can be really distracting. Therefore, we seriously hope that Infinity Ward and Beenox will be able to address these issues soon.
Stay tuned for more!

I got this too, not touching the campaign until they fix it
As with the other CoD games, the pre-rendered cutscenes are disguising loading, which is why the stuttering takes place, even on an SSD. You’d think they’d have found away around it by now. Hopefully they can fix it, it’s very jarring.
..even on an M.2
But on consoles they are fine and consoles blue ray read speed and their stock hdd is worst than even the most basic 7200rpm hdd on pc
Performance is terrible on all consoles!

I rather have loading screen than this stuttering cutscene
I wonder what kinda QA do they have b4 releasing the game?! How can anyone miss such obvious issues?!
Moreover, I read that the game crashes the XBONE X constantly as well!
We are the QA lol
and what’s wrong with that?
Whats Wrong?
Testing an unfinished product and report bugs is called having a job and being paid for that.
Unless you are some idiot who are ok playing broken release at full price and sucking the developers like some spineless shill.
it’s our job, we should help them so that they don’t waste their money on testers.
You know, to use to think that you were just trying and trying to be edgy but now I will I see is pure unadulterated Fuqery from you.
what can i say, it’s fun.
there’s something very funny and entertaining about the people who get mad on the internet that also think their downvotes mean anything or affect anything, it’s like an ant trying to bite you.
the downvote system is the best thing that happened to disqus.
what a pathetic release
no, best cod ever especially the offline mode.
you get a downvote for that weak attempt at trolling. You can do better than that i know it.
Offline… are you high?
as my idol said, when they go low we go high so i don’t care what conservative kids say.
i think it might have to do with something with the shaders preloading
To paraphrase Carl Benjamin, I wouldn’t even pirate it!
pulling out some random nobody name to sound smart, really pathetic this time of the year bub.
You alright man?..
yes

You sound pretty mad. You got your fee fee’s hurt already?
Shh shhh. It’s ok now. I promise i’ll get your baby bottle. Just please, don’t cry.
Awww poor little child. Mad that comes from a third world shithole country . It is not my fautl that there are a lot of senstive little girls on this website. Lmao imagine searching in my comment history. That just proves my point further that you have no life.
And little f*gs like you have the classical “racist, incel, homophobic, bigot, cracker” and the rest of the useless buzzwords.
Also, i thought my mum’a tight püzzy hurt you? She made you bleed worse than a female on her period. Yikes.
More pathetic than saying “incel” over and over again?
yes you drab brown shet.
Nice, quoting grifters.
Even on my NVME 2tb drive I am getting issues with the cut-scenes and audio sync. It’s a shame as the cut-scences are stunning.
At least it’s online does not have ancient chinese hacks like ChinaField V does
give it some time wink wink
The campaign is QUITE solid. Gameplay wise one of the best cod right there. The stutters are a damn shame sincerely. I have a very good system and i can’t get away with it and it pisses me 🙁
Intentional, paid by Soyny
Who hurt you?
Lmao, haha… ????? I laughed so hard man, thanks.
JK is evidently the next lunatic in the making! So much bitterness and anger within him. Witnessing his continued implosion could be entertaining.
So you physically got hurt by a woman. Good job bud.
Polished to perfection.
Do the console versions have the same pop in?
of course not, these higher settings don’t exist on consoles.
The game is unplayable for me
it lags like hell in the freaking menu
stutters during gameplay (even if I get 80 fps)
and crashes every 5 min, I couldn’t finish even 1 game
Refunded it, bought on PS4 instead and it runs like butter.
i5 4590 – R9 290 – 8 GB RAM
sounds like vram and ram issue. should have lowered the textures.
It has a Vram counter. This garbage game barely uses 4gb of Vram at 1080 with everything maxed.
yup I tried at medium textures which consumes 2,5gb but alas
8 GB of ram might not be enough.
I confirm this man. Not to mention that bug that prevents the textures from loading. Making it look like a Sega Genesis game.
That’s the nowadays pc gaming.Very sad.
Enjoy the game! 🙂
Not that i want to defend anyone, but i wouldn’t call this “Major” it’s something you don’t even notice if you don’t go look for it.
Nothing new then? Ok.
Whole game is just anti-russian pro-america propaganda anyway
soo its good 😉 all commies are evil thats basic knowledge
Yes, we are evil!
