    Beta crashes after every 2 or 3 matches. Tells me to scan and repair files everytime. I think i have done everything in this article 50 times and still no luck. Warzone crashes a lot too I don’t understand it. My computer is definitely powerful enough and this is the only game that does this. Other battle.net games dont crash…steam games dont crash like this. Just Call of Duty!

    I can run WoW fine from the launcher, but when I try running any CoD game, including the beta, it crashes my pc to desktop and renders my bottom taskbar unusable for about 10 minutes while the cursor spins in circles, extremely frustrating.
