MW2 Beta PC Crashes – Error Code 0x00001338 Potential Fix

PC players have reported frequent crashes during the MW2 Beta, which is preventing them from playing any matches.

The Modern Warfare 2 Beta just launched on all platforms, and players are already experiencing issues that prevent them from launching the game.

Here is everything we know about the issues currently plaguing PC players in the MW2 Beta.

PC Players Experiencing Constant Crashes in Modern Warfare 2 Beta

PC players are experiencing issues with the MW2 Beta due to Error Code “0x00001338 (10509) N), which is causing their games to crash constantly.

This error may happen when you start the game, during a match, or even after an hour or two of playing.

MW2 is currently in its second weekend of Open Beta, but it’s first on PC and Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S. So far, it’s looking like both weekends are following similar patterns.

The first weekend of the Open Beta had PlayStation players struggling to play a few matches before the servers crashed.

Now, PC players are experiencing the same issues. Downloading the game will go fine, but once it’s time to log into a server, the game will completely crash.

Here is the error message you may encounter while playing the MW2 Beta:

Same, pc runs fine on other games but this beta crashes constantly on pc, ive had around 9 crashes like this so far in one hour.

Unfortunately, there is currently no official fix for the issues, and Call of Duty has yet to comment on them.
