Do you have any on screen displays for statistics framerate/temps/etc? If I have RivaTuner running, my game will crash with a directx error when switching maps pretty much every time. I would disable xbox gamebar just in case, as it can cause issues. Win+i -> Gaming -> turn off settings. Or just uninstall it...

Could be a few things (CPU/GPU overheating, page file too small, corrupt files, driver issues, hardware issues, etc) I second what Hatchetman said, give it a good dusting, if you haven't already. Does it happen in other games? (YES: issue likely with system. NO: uninstall/reinstall CoD) Do you notice stutters/lag when not playing games (like browsing the web, playing music, or videos)? (YES: generally hardware issue (HDD/RAM/CPU) but maybe windows/software issue. NO: possibly driver problem, corrupt directx files, GPU problem, overheating) When playing CoD, do your fans spin up like it's trying to fly away? (YES: possible hardware overheating...double check with temperature monitoring software!* (if needed, clean the PC and/or repaste CPU/GPU). NO: could indicate other hardware/software faults.) What are your PC's specs? Last time thermal paste redone? (if ever, lol)... Usually recommended every 1-3yrs for gaming rigs... depending on level of cooling performance you require and quality of paste, of course. *Normal CPU/GPU temps, at load, are anything up to about 65-75C (up to ~85C for GPUs). Generally, anything above that (for desktop PCs) is "overheating" (assuming no overclock with appropriate cooling). If load is applied and CPU/GPU temp quickly rises to 90-100C, you have a cooling problem.

Ahh gotcha, I assume Rick increased the size of the windows paging file and that you are not actually running low on HDD space, lol

I've heard of reports that that error is a CPU fault. Perhaps is your CPU a 13th or 14th gen Intel?

I've had that issue with the PC app before. I believe going to the website Welcome to Steam (steampowered.com) and resetting my password there worked.

When you load up CoD4 the image is still there? If so, then it is definitely a monitor issue. Call AOC support, it should still be under warranty!

Welcome to the clan!

That kind of stuttering, in my experience, has been HDD failing. What are your CPU temps? idle/load Never hurts to run "SFC.exe -scannow" from an elevated terminal window to see if there are any issues with system files. Edit: Ahh, I read your message as it stutters at all times... try other full screen games to see if it happens. If only with COD, then fresh install the game and see.

Haha, just realized that I commented on the file itself, not here. Program works great!

Ahhh, gotcha, so just one pair. Then there's not much to do that's easy or cheap...filtering each smart plug individually has the possibility to not help the situation either. The best suggestion I have is to check if both circuits that the adapters are plugged into are the same phase. If not, plug one of the adapters into a nearby circuit on the same phase as the other and retest with your smart plugs. Hopefully there will be improvement. If they are already on same phase, then I don't have any other suggestions The ones I have are a pair of Netgear PL1010v2s and a matching WiFi powerline extender. If you want to try another brand I could send you these ones (They have been sitting on a shelf for 6+ months), lol.

Ahhh yes, I see the predicament... How many powerline devices do you have in-network? which models do you use? I had 2 in place at the beginning, then added a 3rd later. When it was 2 it was quite reliable, unless heavy electric usage. After I added the 3rd (same model) did notice a degradation of the powerline network (dropping to orange/red more often)... Possibly due to the "noise" from the additional repeater. If you are using more than 2 devices, try removing all but 2, activate your smart plugs a few times, and observe your signal status. If it stays good, add back a powerline device one at a time, and repeat test. That may help you find the saturation limit for your devices. But then again, it may be a single powerline device that is pulling your network down. If you are comfortable with your electrical panel, you could make sure that all your powerline devices are on the same phase (crossing phases can reduce signal quality by a little or a lot depending on your home's electric supply). Some AFCI/GFCI breakers can filter your powerline signal as well...

Run as administrator, have had similar issue on win11 Symptoms observed (by me) on win11 without running as admin: -Game crash on load -Game crash right after "Setting up Game" when map loaded -Some other servers would load into the game, typically unmodded servers. -Single player works but not multiplayer

I used to use them as well for TVs and such. Found that if they were on the same leg they would work better. But even so, if certain appliances turned on it would disrupt the network. Even if they were on the same branch circuit they would get slow. Got so fed up I just ran Cat6 to each room, lol. Filters aren't necessarily a good thing, had a power strip that had a filter in it but the power line adapter would not work, while plugged into it, until I removed the filter from the strip, hahaha. My whole house is automated with zwave and zigbee devices so I agree with you that filtering each device is really not going to happen...probably cheaper (and much much more reliable) to just run cat6 through the house than to buy filters for each device!
