Modern computer games have very high system requirements, respectively, you need a very powerful computer to run current projects. For example, you can take the latest game from the popular series of shooters Call of Duty - this project seems to have a lot of bugs, but it doesn’t work for many gamers. And the reasons for this can be very diverse, so you need to study this issue before you buy, install and run the game. After all, when Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does not start, you need to take a series of actions with which you can analyze the situation, find the cause of the problems and fix them. Of course, this will take time and patience, but this masterpiece is worth the effort to launch it.
System requirements
It has already been said above that the system requirements for this game are extremely high, so if your version of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does not start, first check if your PC configuration matches what the developers require. Usually, a lot of information is indicated in the system requirements, but you only need to look at key points. Firstly, the version of your operating system must be at least seventh, and your OS must be 64-bit, since 32-bit systems are not supported by the game.
Secondly, the processor should have four cores - on dual-core processors, which are already gradually starting to become obsolete, the game will not start. It is very important how much RAM you have - it must be at least six gigabytes only to run at minimum settings, it is recommended that you have at least eight gigabytes. Also note that you will need at least one gigabyte of video memory and support for DirectX version 11. If at least one of these parameters does not match the configuration of your computer, then you have found the reason why your Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does not start.
Fighting Hieroglyphs
However, not always lack of memory or cores in the processor can lead to a complete lack of game functionality. Not in every case Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does not start - many gamers appear in hieroglyphs. Of course, this is one of the most popular problems regarding this project, which, in principle, can be fought. The fact is that the hieroglyphs appear if your computer is too weak to start the project in normal mode, but not so weak as not to play it at all. Thus, this shooter can run on your computer, but you can’t call it playable.
Accordingly, you need to take certain actions to deal with this problem. The only way is to download a special fix, which then needs to be unpacked into the game folder with the replacement of all the proposed files. This method solves the problem of running this shooter on weaker computers, but if it does not work and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does not start anyway, then you will have to upgrade your computer.
Graphics card drivers
Of course, far from all the problems of the game are related to the configuration of your computer - there can be many more reasons for their occurrence. For example, you may receive a Call of Duty error that will prevent you from playing normally or even starting this shooter. This difficulty is associated with your video card, or rather, with the drivers for it. Many gamers forget that drivers are vital elements for your computer to function. And if you have not updated them for a long time, then the old version may simply not pull the modern game. So urgently download the necessary version from the website of the manufacturer of your video card and install it on your computer - this will help you solve many problems, and the game Call of Duty will work fine.
Other bugs
It is worth noting that the problem may not always lie in the drivers, although this happens quite often. If at startup an error message appears that prevents you from entering the game, then you first need to read what is written there. And, based on this, install the desired distribution, which is not enough on your computer. However, it’s best not to wait until you get an error message, but to install all the necessary programs at once, since they are useful for launching not only this shooter, but also other games.
Disabling programs
Everyone knows that certain processes constantly occur in the system that consume computer resources. And if it is not particularly powerful, then the resources for the game may simply not be enough. Accordingly, you need to take two actions. First of all, before starting the game, turn off all programs that are not run by the system itself, but on your behalf - then this will not affect the operation of your computer, but at the same time reduce the load on it. Secondly, run the game with a high priority so that by default maximum resources are allocated to it.
