MW3 Shaders Stuck at 0% Bug

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is a very graphically impressive and demanding game. One of the methods it uses to cut down on in-game loading times is to pre-load shaders before the game itself starts. This is very common with modern video games. However, this can also cause its own share of potential issues. One such problem is that you can get the MW3 Shaders Stuck at 0% Bug. If you are getting this bug, you’re no doubt wondering if there is anything that you can do to fix it. Here are all the methods that you can try out in order to resolve it.

MW3 Shaders Pre-Loading Stuck at 0% Issue

The first thing that you should always try when getting bugs and errors such as this is to – restart the game. It may take several restarts for the problem to go away. If that hasn’t helped, run the game and go into Settings. From there, go to the Display tab and scroll down until you have found the Restart Shaders Optimization option and turn it on. This will restart the process and hopefully the shaders will fully load this time.

If the problem is still occuring, you should try to verify the game files on Steam (once it has been released there) or to reinstall the game altogether if playing on a different platform. You should also double-check to make sure that you meet the minimum PC system requirements to play the game:

  • OS: Windows 10 64 Bit (latest update).
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 / AMD Ryzen 5 1400.
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM.
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 / GTX 1650 / AMD Radeon RX 470
  • Video Memory: 2 GB.
  • DirectX: 12.
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection.
  • Storage: SSD with 149 GB available space at launch (or 78 GB if COD HQ and Warzone are already installed).

And if none of these solutions have worked, the problem is most likely down to the devs and only they can fix it on their end. In that case, the only real solution is to wait until they have resolved this problem and the game works as intended again. You can also contact MWIII Support for further assistance.

    Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I’ve been sitting at “Shaders Pre-Loading: 0%” for over an hour now. Going into Settings and clicking “Restart Shaders Optimization option” like you suggested seemed to have helped. Thanks!
