On-demand texture streaming is another contributor to the aforementioned error code, which causes the game to crash indefinitely.
1. Disable Third-Party Overlay Applications
As a first step, disable any third-party overlay applications on your system. These overlays tend to conflict with the game’s files in order to provide quick access to their respective apps and settings. These overlays are frequently the culprits behind such crashes, thus deactivating them may help you determine the root cause of the issue. Below, we’ll guide you through disabling Discord and GeForce Experience overlays. If you’re using additional overlay apps, remember to turn those off as well.
1.1 Discord
1.2 GeForce Experience
2. Disable On-Demand Texture Streaming
On-Demand Texture Streaming allows the game to download Call of Duty MW3 textures as necessary, enhancing the graphical fidelity and performance. However, this feature can also be a source of the error code 0x00001337 due to problems with texture downloading.
3. Disable Onboard GPU
An error code 0x00001337 may arise if Call of Duty MW3 defaults to the onboard GPU rather than the dedicated graphics card in your system. To prevent the game from using the incorrect GPU, the onboard graphics can be disabled in Windows settings.
4. Delete Cached Settings
Corrupted game settings cached on your PC could lead to a crash accompanied by the error code 0x00001337. Deleting the cached settings will prompt the game to recreate them, potentially resolving any corruption issues.
5. Repair Call of Duty MW3 Game Files
Missing, corrupted, or damaged game files are common culprits of error code 0x00001337. The Verify integrity of game files feature on Steam can be used to identify and fix any issues with the game files.
6. Update Graphics Drivers
Obsolete or faulty graphics drivers can also trigger error code 0x00001337 in Call of Duty MW3. Updating your graphics drivers can resolve this issue. You may use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to eliminate the existing drivers completely, preventing any corruption problems.
7. Perform a Clean Boot
Persistent issues after trying the aforementioned solutions may indicate interference from a third-party application on your computer. A clean boot can stop third-party services from starting up with Windows. By ensuring only essential Windows services load on startup, you can ascertain if a background application is at fault. You can then identify the troublesome app by reactivating services one at a time. Applying these methods should resolve the error code. Should the issue persist, consider reaching out to the Call of Duty MW3 support team for further assistance.
