![]() despite WaW being a very old title, it's a good idea to ensure you're currently using the most up-to-date version of graphics and audio drivers. once the installation is complete, retry launching multiplayer to see if that helped. try going to where the game is installed on disk and find DirectX folder. even though the campaign/zombies works fine, you might consider updating DirectX if you believe there aren't any kind of software conflicts. some known troublemakers are MSI Afterburner w/RTSS, NZXT CAM, Fraps, Nvidia Shadowplay, certain mouse/keyboard utilities by Razer, various tools used for headset settings or multi-monitor setups etc. ![]() if you use such programs, you may try closing them temporarily before starting the game (for testing purpose). for some people, certain background applications may have conflicts with WaW. check this link if you don't know how it's done: *if you can't find AppData folder where it should be, you'll need to enable visibility of hidden files through windows first. Local Disk (C:) / Users / your windows username / AppData* / Local / Activision / CoDWaW / players / profiles / your in-game profile name "config_mp.cfg" is the name of the file for WaW multiplayer, and it must be located at if this method doesn't fix the issue, you can carry your original config file back to its default place, so you don't waste time while customizing stuff again (config files keep things such as video/audio options, keybindings etc). once you carry a config file to desktop (or another place), the game will create a new one with default settings (as soon as you start the game next time), and the broken things would be gone. if incompatible parameters exist in a config file, it may lead to crashes at launch. you can try carrying your original config file of WaW multiplayer to desktop, and launch the game to test it. wait until the file validation is done and restart WaW multiplayer to see what happens. there go to "local files" tab and hit "verify integrity of game files". ![]() to do that right click at WaW on steam library and select "properties". you should also verify integrity of game files on steam, in case of any missing or corrupt files are leading to this problem. Program Files (x86) / Steam / steamapps / common / Call of Duty World at War lastly, click "apply" and then "OK" to complete the process. there go to "compatibility" tab on little window and select "Windows XP Service Pack 3" from the list. to do that go to where WaW is installed on disk and find "CoDWaWmp.exe" file. you can run multiplayer part of the game on Win XP SP3 compatibility mode. I still can't guarantee any success, because for old PC games like WaW, it's usually not too easy to detect the reason behind the problems. I don't know what exactly causes this issue, but you might try several potential solutions mentioned below.
