MWIII Optimization & Known Fixes

Introduction


MWIII Optimization & Known Fixes image 1

This guide was inspired by multiple users who wrote similar guides with unnecessary and outdated information, they weren't complete or they were inaccurate. If any user notices any mistakes simply write a comment or if you're not comfortable doing so contact me on Discord at Thanasoles.

My goal is to make this guide as simple to follow and as accurate as possible, it's good to remember that we all make mistakes, even those who push to be perfect.

If this guide helped you it would be heavily appreciated if you liked, favorited or commented on it!

If you're feeling charitable feel free to give me some steam points ~ check below for how!

Optimized Settings - All Modes

Below are the best settings for performance in MWIII. These settings are tuned towards Multiplayer, Campaign and MWZ (Zombies). Some settings may need to be changed around depending on your PC setup, so be aware that these settings are absolutely not a one size fits all.

If a setting is not listed here that means it should be left at default.

Last Resort

If you are still having FPS loss my suggestions would be to do the following:

1. Update your GPU drivers.

2. Go through each individual setting and turn it to low to see how much FPS you gain.

3. Reinstall your GPU drivers or back up to the previous version.

4. Verify integrity of files on Steam.

5. Reinstall the entire game.

Packet Bursting

This is a very common issue that is plaguing MWIII as of pre-season, however there is a known fix and it is quite easy if your drive is quick. If you have a basic Hard Drive this may take longer.

1. Go to Steam Library -> Right Click 'Call of Duty'

2. Head over to Properties -> Installed Files

3. Click 'Verify Integrity of files' and wait until it is done.

I have tested this myself and it works. It seems that the culprit for this issue is continuous alt tabbing can result in a heavy loss of performance. Why is this an issue? No clue, but the fix should work.

MWZ (Zombies) Crashing & FPS Loss

Unfortunately there is currently no known fix for this issue, but there are things that can delay / stem the problem for some users. I want to make it clear this does not work for everyone.

1. Use the optimized settings listed in the guide.

2. Go to Steam Library -> Right Click 'Call of Duty'

3. Head over to Properties -> Installed Files

4. Click 'Verify Integrity of files' and wait until it is done.
