How to Fix Dev Error 6068 in Call of Duty Modern Warfare (100% Working).

Bugs and errors are some of the most frustrating but inevitable aspects of the game. Unfortunately, even triple-rated games with huge development teams do not provide crash protection.

Developer error 6068 is one of the most common mistakes that Call of Duty players face. The error can be caused by several reasons, including a corrupted DirectX installation, outdated or corrupted Windows files, outdated or corrupted drivers, and corrupted game files.

So how do you fix this?

Run the Game as Administrator

Running Call of Duty as an administrator can fix error 6068 as some files require administrator access to work properly.

Open the Battle.net Launcher.
Open the Call of Duty page.

Click Options, then Show in Explorer.

Scroll down and find ModernWarfare.exe.
Right-click the .exe file and select Run as administrator.

Start Call of Duty as usual and see if the problem is resolved.

Optimize Graphics and CPU/GPU Usage

Developer error 6068 can be caused by Call of Duty using too many system resources (especially if you are using an old or suboptimal setting for the game). Reducing the graphics settings can fix the problem, allowing your computer to run the game better.

Lower Graphics Settings

Launch Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Open Options and then Graphics.

Set each parameter to the lowest value.

Problem settings

Certain settings in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare seem to be causing problems, including developer bug 6068. These include vertical sync, ray tracing, cross play, and g-sync.

Scroll down to Sync Every Frame (V-Sync) and select Disabled.
