- Clean boot your system.
- Start Call of Duty as administrator (make sure no other applications are running) and check if the issue is resolved.
- If so, find the problematic application and troubleshoot between them.
SHADER ADJUSTMENT
Call of Duty uses shaders to display shading in a 3D scene. However, shaders are known to cause many developer errors, including developer error 6068. The problem with shaders is that developers are forced to use them and cannot simply disable them. There are two workarounds.
REINSTALL SHADERS
Initiate calling and playback of start duty.
Start reinstalling shaders’ in-game.
Continue the game until it is installed. Once the shader installation is complete during the process, restart the installation process. Continue reinstalling shaders after each install is complete until you play the game.
DELETE THE PLAYERS/PLAYERS 2 FOLDER
Deleting this folder will delete the shader from the game.
- The Call of Duty shutdown and all processes running shutdown will.
- Now go to the players’ folder in Call of Duty. It is usually located in:
Documents \ Call of Duty Modern Warfare \
- Back up your Players folder just in case! Or even if you have a Players 2 folder, back it up.
- Now delete the Players folder. Or delete the Players 2 folder if it exists.
- Now launch Call of Duty and check if the issue is resolved.
There may be non-optimized settings in Call of Duty and your system, which can cause Dev Error 6068. In this case, changing these settings may fix the problem.
CHANGE VERTICAL SYNC

REINSTALL DIRECTX
Microsoft DirectX is an API that software applications use to communicate with computer hardware. If it is corrupted (which could be an error message indicating a problem with DirectX), it could be the cause of the current problem. In this case, reinstalling may solve the problem.
- Reinstall DirectX.
- After reinstalling DirectX, check if the game works normally.
DISABLE OVERCLOCKING OF CPU/GPU TO FIX DEV ERROR 6068
Overclocking is a common standard in the gaming world, but has been known to cause a lot of problems with games. Overclocking the CPU/GPU may be the root cause of The Dev Error 6068. In this case, reducing the clock speed or resetting the CPU/GPU to its default speed may solve the problem.
- Lower the clock speed. Before lowering the clock speed, you should study the mechanism of overclocking.
- After lowering the clock speed of your CPU/GPU, check if the game works properly.
EXECUTE SFC AND DISM COMMANDS
Corrupt OS files, especially those related to DirectX, can lead to Call of Duty Dev Error 6068. But fortunately, there is a built-in utility to fix corruption issues in system files. In this case, running these commands may solve the problem.
- SFC execution
- Running DISM
Then launch Call of Duty and check if the issue is resolved.
REINSTALL THE GAME IS A QUICK FIX TO DEV ERROR 6068
If nothing has worked so far, you will need to uninstall the game and then reinstall it. As an example, we describe the process of the Battle.net launcher.
- Launch Battle.net again and click on the icon of Call of Duty.
- Then click the Remove Game button
- Now follow the on-screen instructions to complete the removal process
- Then restart your system
- Now launch Battle.net and launch it again

WINDOWS RESET OR CLEAN INSTALL
If nothing has worked so far, you have no options other than resetting Windows or doing a clean install of Windows.
RAM CHANGE
Sometimes the RAM installed on your computer may prevent you from playing this game. So, if you have an extra RAM stick around, or want to try new RAM on your computer, try changing your computer’s RAM.
LOW FOV:
Some users have experienced that by lowering the FOV from below 100 to around 95 they can play the game perfectly without Dev errors. So I recommend keeping the graphics settings at their defaults and lowering the FOV to around 95.
