How to troubleshoot MW2 crashes

So far, it is not understood what is making the game crash on each platform, though there are some known fixes to stop it from happening. For one, additional smaller updates have gone live since the beta’s debut with some resolving a handful of bugs. So, the first step you should take is to download any available updates and ensure you have the latest version of the game before opening the application again.

This issue is widely experienced by PC players when rebooting and entering the title screen. The developers have said a recent patch should resolve this issue, but launching the game manually may also evade this issue if it continues to happen. Another step any platform owner should take as their last resort is reinstalling the entire application and doing so will also update the game to its latest version.
