For me the Solution was :
Nividia-Control settings-> Program add MW5-> Vertical Sync=ADAPTIV

12 games without error

I played around 4 hours non-stop and got my first "Fatal error". After reading online, some people experience this error the moment they start the game which makes it unplayable or after 3-4 hours of playtime.

That fixed the "Fatal error" bug that prevents the game from launching?

Ok, so I installed the Win7 update and my Epic game store updated MW5, and I also did the Vertical Sync thing, and the game now works, I can enter into the game..

...but there's not sound.

Not a peep.

But I can play the soundtrack normally, and the computer makes sound as normal..

The game is not muted or anything..

We have work on win 10 and only trouble with it ... updates destroy drivers and stored data or set everything to default, and our IT people despair because win 10 only causes problems with our print drivers and work programs, a PC can be used eg. do not connect to our laser printer and sop we have to print from another department. We had no problems with Win 7, and so Win 7 will work with me until the end

Maybe update the sound card drivers then? If you're using onboard sound, then your motherboard might need an updated driver.

Another thing you could try is to enter an Instant Action game and mute all the sounds, click Apply. Then max out the sounds and Apply again. If it still doesn't work, then you need to update your drivers.

If he has a 2070 he should be able to use his video card for sound output.

So I did as you suggested, went into Instant action, and lo and behold, while in-drop, I had sound. I could hear footsteps and weapons, not nothing else. So I muted everything and hit "apply" - and I could no longer hit ANY menu item in the game. The pointer was pointing about 1/4 screen below the button I was trying to click, ant the sliders I could not touch at all.

This game is buggy as hell!

I had to go to task manager to kill the game, got back in and reset the sound sliders, hit apply again - boom, no control over buttons again.

Had to task-manager again to kill the game since I could not hit the exit button.

There is still no sound anywhere out-of-drop in the game.

Please help.

P.S.

Correction - The PGI splash screen at the beginning of the game has sound, but nothing after that.

Check your Display settings and set either to Borderless Window or Fullscreen while keeping the resolution to what the monitor's native resolution is. It seems like there's some resolution mismatch.

As for the sound, I can only guess it's a driver issue. If you're using onboard sound, update your motherboard's drivers or if it's a standalone soundcard, go to the manufacturer's website and get the new driver.

The game is buggy at times but it looks like in your case, it's more to do with a driver issue. So, try those out.

I get the error message, each time. Also, every time I try to re-install, it increases the size of the download? I had enough GB available, now it is over. And, to top it off, when I uninstall, not all the content is removed.

Update:

Figured out what the sound problem was.. It was me being stupid..

I connected the front speakers wrong, and since the game seems to not use most of my 5.1 speakers, but only the front speakers, which were connected into the slightly less green slot instead of the green slot, the game had no sound.

So that's all corrected now..

But hey, at least it did lead to the discovery of the "can't click buttons bug" that happens after applying changes in the options menu..

So there's that..

I'm gonna try to play the campaign now.. finally..

Wish me luck!

Did you know that the Epic game store won't let you log in more than once in a few hours? I was just booted after trying to log in more than once in a few hours to their forums (to look for a solution to my bugs), and was told that I do that

I think that was just EPIC servers collapsing under that Star Wars / Fortnite event. Had some friends in chat even disconnect from the servers while I went unaffected. They got it sorted after an hour or so.

Did you get that Sorry, you are visiting our service too frequent, please try again later" with bad grammar and all?

It's one of those "security" features I suppose. I had this when I got logged out of the EGL without my knowledge and when I tried to log back in, it wouldn't let me.

Im just saying.. I wanna log in a gazillion times in 10 seconds if I want to.

If I paid for their content, I'm allowed to access it whenever my hoohaa itches, and then again. They don't have a right to deny me access to my paid-for content.

EVER.

[FRAGTAST1C]

Like DRM, it's a security feature and a terrible one at that.

[Jackal Noble]

not sure if anyone has offered this as I scanned the thread.
You can play the game offline.

try that.

I am still getting fatal errors now and then after hotfix 2, but i am not even using joysticks.
This game is fun but annoying at times when during missions the bad coding by PGI decides to crap on your experience

[Odanan]

Somehow my MW5 only runs if GeForce Experience is turned on.
