Out of hard disk space in call of duty advanced warfare

[Technocrat_13]

I've just started aw but whenever I try to launch the multiplayer it gives me an error "out of hard disk space (12)"

I have over 200 gigs in the drive that is free.
Thanks

Hi there Technocrat_13,

It seems that Activision is aware of the issue:https://support.activision.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Call-of-Duty-Advanced-Warfare-PC-Out-of-Memory-Error/?q=Call+of+Duty%3A+Advanced+Warfare+PC+Out+of+Memory+Error&l=en_US&c=Game_Title%3ACall_of_Duty_Advanced_Warfare&fs=Search&pn=1
There is also an ongoing thread on this issue over here: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/618458030679385575/#p6
Though, it doesn't seem that there is a solution up until now.

Cheers,

I have this issue as well... Hopefully they will solve it soon.

A lot of players are currently experiencing this, which pretty much started happening since the latest April 8th patch. You're not out of disk space at all; most likely the developers re-used the same error dialog for faster development, and either left this one behind on error or on purpose.
Most solutions floating around the internet may work for some and may not for others. I've honestly stopped bothering since nothing works for me...

Currently, turning off UPnP on your router settings seems to be having most success. Other solutions include:
- regenerating configuration files (deleting the config files inside the players2 folder)
- regenerating firewall rules (just go into Windows Firewall settings, if enabled, and remove any rule regarding AW, then launch the game).
- launching the game from single player and switching to multiplayer from there.

Many have obviously suggested a Steam repair, without success, since this is a game code issue.
I've also heard of some very bold people that also suggested to disable firewalls and antivirus softwares while turning their DMZ router settings on, but that's like catching a thief trying to break into your home and inviting him in >_>"

So far, I've had CTDs, slow loadings, bugged gameplays, glitched video drivers, even "poltergeists" cranking up my GPU usage for nothing, really (basicly, the game would launch and crash instantly, but the GPU would stay at 100% load until reboot, ACTUALLY HEATING UP). To top everything with a nice, sweet cherry, the mouse works under controller emulation mode, meaning every camera movement looks glitchy as if it was trying to emulate stick movement.


Ah well, IMO, you could try for one of the many solutions that literally fill the community hub on Steam right now, but it'll just be one big lottery. The game will most likely stay broken until the Ascendance DLC comes out by the end of this month. I doubt they'll push two separated updates when they can push only one, not to mention they'll have more time to actually investigate this issue like that.

Thanks Vynavill! You solved my my problem...

I disabled UPnP and the game works again lol

Glad you can play, because I can't 😛
Plus, when I actually draw my lucky ticket and manage to get in-game, playing with a controller almost feels illegal for how fast it snaps to opponents...

Did you go into your router and disable UPnP ??

I didn't test the game yet however I was able to load my online profile...

I think this is the issue... the UPNP is now allowing the loading of the profile.

I guess the memory code given is a glitch...

That's the tricky part; I can't disable UPnP, as many others can't (which is why this is just a workaround, and not a fix as many people state).
For how my ISP uses the mechanism behind NAT, if I disable UPnP I'm practically disabling my Internet connection and anything related to it.

I can just hope to get lucky and play, right now... Well, besides being happy others don't have this issue, as the game would likely die otherwise.
It's not a big deal tho, I've got plenty of stuff to do other than playing CoD, and I can always try going back to BO2 if things start going south

If you put you system in the dmz you can still run a software firewall...
