Question Memory_Corruption Error for Modern Warfare?

[Sinato117]

Hi all,

I've run into an issue that is driving me insane!
Everytime I load the new Modern Warfare is freezes then CTD with no error message about 30seconds into the main menu. This happens about 9/10 times. I say 9/10 because every so often maybe one chance it lets me load the game and stay in the game, just out of the blue.
I would really appreciate some help with this!
I also want to list the things I've tried:

1. Clean Boot closing all non-microsoft apps
2. Increasing Page-Pool size where the game is installed
3. Removed overclock from CPU,GPU and RAM
4. Setting the game priority to "Normal" in Task Manager
5. Clean Install of Microsoft
6. Reinstalling the game
7. Reinstalling Battlenet
8. Running "Repair" game files in Battlenet
9. Ran MemTest (no errors detected with Ram)
10. Ran Disc check (No errors with SSD where game is installed)
11. Ran AV (No viruses detected
12. Disconnected and closed VPN app
13. Cleared NV_Cache
14. Deleted user files within Documents for the game (clearly settings within game)
15. Ran Verifier (resulted in BSOD on boot so had to turn off via safe-mode)
16. Running the game as admin and in safe mode

Also my PC Specs:
Mobo - Asrock B450 Steel Legend
CPU - Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU - MSI RTX2070 Gaming Z
RAM - Corsair Pro 3600Mhz 16gb (2x8gb)
PSU - EVGA 650w
Temps go no higher than 60-65degrees while in game.

What system components do you have? Specifically what CPU, RAM and RAM settings are you using? That would generally be conducive to failing hardware, you could test your system against something like Memtest86+ to verify.

Hi! sorry yeah i realised after i should have put my specs in there along with what i've tried so far, i've updated the thread now at the top, but the answer is Corsair 3600Mhz 16gb Ram, I tried removing the XMP Profile so it ran at stock 2133Mhz but this didnt change anything for.

I'm not saying this will fix your issue but it helped me out on the x570 motherboard. I would crash after a multiplayer round ended almost every time. I had not had issues with the game previously.

I updated my motherboard chipset drivers and the issue has never happened again.

Hey! I double checked my chipset driver, even re-installed it again just in case but unfortunately hasn't sorted it i'm losing my mind over the issue.
The game worked fine before they updated it to 1.20 and since then just errors all the time.

I have this same issue, super frustrating. I ran three passes of memtest86... my system seems to be fine.

Hey @poneman do you use Argus Monitor by any chance?

No, I don't. I've heard it associated with similar issues, but I'm not convinced.

I am suspecting a driver issue. I'm using driver verifier now, which causes a BSOD loop, FUN! But maybe I'm on to something.

Hmm i wouldnt be too hopeful, I fixed my issue by closing down Argus Monitor as I do use it. Then the devs also posted an official statement saying they are aware of the issue but its not their end and its the games fault, which I do believe as the issue only began for me and others after the most recent updates to the game, since closing Argus I haven't encountered a single issue.
There is something I did though to try isolate the issue and this was before finding out it was Argus.

I created a new local user on my PC, doesnt have to be admin, just a regular user, then login as that user and load the game, it SHOULD load fine with no issues at all. If thats the case then one by one start running/installing the software and apps you use on your other account as usually your apps will be installed just not running. But do it one by one. That way you can at least rid the idea of it being an app interfering with the game.

It seems that their latest patch and updates to their anti-cheat software interred with Argus so I wouldn't put it past me if Argus is not the only software to have the issue. Perhaps you have other monitoring tools or apps running? Worth a shot at least.

For now though ignore the "Memory_Corruption" message, after tons of digging it turns out that Windows just throws that error message out there for literally anything... which doesn't help in the slightest. Because as you can see form my crashdump there's no mention of Argus yet it was the clash.

Also Verifier causing BSOD on boot...mine did too, so don't go down that rabbit hole lol you'll waste your time.

I did end up finding a bad driver with driver verifier-- scpvbus.sys, an old driver for a PS2 usb controller I haven't used in many years. Hard to tell if its related because sometimes MW just runs fine, but the game is running perfectly now.

I do run hard disk sentinel, which does a couple of the same things that argus does, so more threads to pull on should the crashes recur.
