(Image via Activision) The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Early Access beta is now online for PC and Xbox. However, gamers on computers have already reported frequent game crashes and performance hiccups. One of the most frustrating issues involves the title crashing with an error code: 0xc0000005(0) N. The problem has been known to present itself within the lobby and not during a match. In it, the screen will lock up, and the game will proceed to crash to the desktop. While it doesn't spoil matches, it is certainly disrupting the gameplay experience. Although there aren't any permanent solutions to this issue, the tweaks and suggestions in this guide can help negate this problem to an extent. Everything players need to know about Modern Warfare 2 s error code 0xc0000005 0 N The error code 0xc0000005(0) N generally occurs when the game cannot get access to the data it is looking for in the system's memory. When it doesn't find the required data, the game crashes. Player reports suggest that this error happens when they are in a lobby looking for a match. As soon as they get a match, the game seems to crash. Some common causes of error code 0xc0000005 0 N Outdated drivers Outdated system drivers — regardless of audio, chipset, or GPU — can often disrupt the normal running of a game, causing it to crash. If the drivers aren't updated, it can cause a host of other incompatibility issues as well. Anti-virus Anti-viruses are known to cause problems with games. They can block access to the memory for the game. Apart from this, they can also report false positives, which can shut down the game because the system thinks it is malware. Modern Warfare 2 comes with RICOCHET's kernel-level anti-cheat system, and these types of anti-cheats are known for creating conflicts with anti-virus software. Third-party overlays Third-party-overlay software such as Rivatuner Statistics, GeForce Experience, FRAPs, etc. can cause the game to crash. They run in the background and allow players of Modern Warfare 2 to check their system statistics. However, they can have a conflict of interest with the game, leading to a crash. Corrupted missing game files Another common problem sees the title crash with the aforementioned error code when its asked to load a certain asset. Since Modern Warfare 2 is known to stop working during the beginning of a match, this might suggest missing map assets. Unstable overclocks If users are running overclocked hardware on their system and such overclocks aren't stable, they can make the game crash. Most commonly overclocked hardware includes CPU, RAM, and GPU. However, in this scenario, the culprit is RAM most likely. Hence, if the RAM is overclocked to unstable frequencies, it can cause the game to crash when its loading. How to fix Modern Warfare 2 s error code 0xc0000005 0 N If your game is crashing due to one of the above-mentioned reasons, fixing the game can be quite simple. 1) Turn off overlocks Overclocks can appear stable on the surface; however, there are times when they aren't. This can lead to system failure. So it is essential to tune your overclocks in such a manner that they're stable. If that isn't possible, it is recommended to turn off overlocks altogether and run your system on stock settings. 2) Updating drivers GPU drivers are what you should be updated first thing, as they can often lead to performance issues and game crashes.
