This literally stopped 99 percent of the lag/freezing i was having. I am not sure what step helped. I did all of them except deleting and reinstalling the game. Thank you

[@ChadsGamingTips]

Thanks for the awesome feedback - happy gaming!

[@ZeusNetxt]

Kommt bei mir auf jeden Fall geholfen. Danke für den Tipp.

[@AaronA1414]

I literally loaded into 3 separate games back to back and crashed every single time - now I can’t be bothered to get my stuff back, will be a tomorrow job. Have followed your steps so I will see how it fairs tomorrow, thank you for the vid and easy step by step guide 🙌🏻

[@jaysinz890]

I’m not playing anymore until they fix it. I enjoy the game but random lag spikes on 30ms ping and consistent crashes is ruining it for me. Lmk when they fix it

[@ronron26ny]

Because Activision needs to get their s*** together it's ridiculous and people keep playing it like dummies only to just lose everything they play hours and hours for ......... we should have a big gamer shut down and not play or buy anything until cod is 100 fixed

[@felixgutierrez3440]

Great info did the system update and it worked! Thanks

[@RickSuaz]

Bloody hell, that worked. Cheers, mate.

[@yeahdope]

I’m getting it freeze for a second or two and it looks like my ping and packet loss are fine Usually 34-40ms. Sometimes if I’m sliding it will just make me slide for 2 seconds continuously until the game catches up. I’ve tried everything and no fixes unfortunately. Thanks for the video though, glad to know it’s not just me

This has to be an in game issue. A lot of people on PS5 having the same problems.

[@ChadsGamingTips]

I think you’re right! So many people having problems right now

[@Xmarkthings]

Same I’m on Ps5 and my zombie games on MW3 crash at least once a day👹

[@Matt6438]

I've lost everything 3 times tonight I'm supposed to be camo grinding but it's literally impossible the only way I know there's a problem is when I'm in game I cant plan ahead I'm not looking forward to the 6th because the game will still b fucking up it's pointless I'm sat here so pissed off I've emailed Activision loads and not even 1 reply quick to take money not slow at fixing problems but obviously incapable

[@mrmete]

Not just PS5 but Xbox as well

[@Davidgarner_]

its insane if im playing mw3 solo the game constantly crashes. Once I play in a party the game does not crash. currently doing the steps in the vid

[@xCeexus]

It’s the opposite for me 😩

[@tanagunda1368]

@@xCeexusme too it’s the opposite

[@timothygalvan8191]

(Ps5) whenever I load up MW3 my game flickers black whenever I press a button and also it statics right before it goes black. A couple of time now it messes with the ps5, meaning when it goes black it’ll load up and on my tv it would just show like a blue screen saying like hdmi not connected. After a few seconds the game just pops right up like nothing.

[@Buzz_329]

Im on series x and i crash ALL THE TIME on zombies especially. Sometimes on MP as well. Ive done all your steps before plus took it to the final extreme! I reset my entire console to factory settings, re-downloaded the game, and the frakin thing still crashes like a blind pilot! 🤬

[@efrenhulk824]

I have the same problem in zombies mode and I'm of series s.

[@V12Y-]

Thanks alot it helped (ps4)

[@Magggnetto]

Hi Chad, the way you show this your data is on the console and you’re uploading it to the cloud, mine is already in the cloud. Should I try downloading it and storing the save data on the console then?

[@Riddler020]

My game is crashing only if I play zombies sometimes crashes sometimes not but I don't have any problems with multiplayer I made all these steps except one that I will unplug the wire cable for ps5 and I will see if this will fix my issue ,, Thanks for the steps

[@glraff3]

Didn't do anything for me 🎉 no other game does this aside from COD. It could be during a match, after a match or before a match, it decides its own thing. Super glad I spent $70 on a game I can't play now... just randomly started happening too. Everything was fine until I hit level 33, now I can't do anything.

[@lukasvandencruys5702]

Crashes even before logging in, Freezes at "Loading Player Stats". I have my PS5 for 1 week now, didn't have any issues until today. Started by crashing mid-game, doesn't even load the menu now when I try to start. Did every possible step that's provided on the internet. I bought the game, new PS5, never any issues, and now nothing works? The f*ck

[@MyHeaddyX]

My Problem is that i want to go to the Controller Setting and it Flips back to Main Menu

[@ronron26ny]

None of that fixes it it's Activision's fault no matter what you do whenever you play online it will always crash even if you're solo on zombies at least three times a week or every day you play.Because Activision needs to get their s*** together it's ridiculous and people keep playing it like dummies only to just lose everything they play hours and hours for ......... we should have a big gamer shut down and not play or buy anything until cod is 100 fixed

yup same for me

[@Cpt_JohnRackham]

@@spacetradez9780 I fixed it. Open the game, let it crash and press the power button to force it i to sleep mode. Turn the Playstation back on, let it update, it'll crash again when the game restarts. Force the PS5 back into sleep mode and then turn it back on. You should only have to do this routine a couple times before it's completely fixed.

Can somebody help me, I have a new ps5, my internet is fast, I just play multiplayer on MW3 and and when say another player runs across in front of me they freeze for a second then when the game continues hes 30ft away, another example is if i look down scope and fire it freezes again for a second then they have gone, or a helicopter comes down and freezes for a second then it's landed when the game continues, it's every several seconds this is happening and it's driving me mad, it's unplayable, like someone is pressing pause for me but the others are still running around and when it starts again obviously they have moved, I have uninstalled it, tried it wired and wifi, I have turned the graphic improver off, reset the internet box a million times, ive set the ps5 box back to default, nothing has helped,

[@BengalBuckeye]

I know this is a month late but I had exact same issue until I upgraded my Wi-Fi. Make sure Mbps is around 100 . Most will say that's overkill but it 100% fixed my freeze issue. I was freezing every 10 seconds on COD MW3 Multiplayer.
