Black Ops 7 beta crashing on PC is kicking players out of the game, but there are a few fixes

Gamers are facing a major headache with the Black Ops 7 beta crashing on PCs, made worse by an ambiguous error code.

The much-anticipated Black Ops 7 has finally landed in the hands of players for testing, and it's fair to say that the opportunity to play the game is more crucial than ever. We're thrilled to see the launch of the Black Ops 7 beta early access period, as the franchise seems to be locking horns with Battlefield once again after the Battlefield 6 beta demonstrated to many that realistic combat and a focus on fun in a naturalistic world can be a breath of fresh air for players fed up with absurdity in shooters.

Call of Duty's abrupt decision to axe Black Ops 6 cosmetic crossover and attempt to maintain more serious multiplayer lobbies might have been too little, too late. However, as players dive into the new movement reminiscent of Black Ops 3, it almost doesn't matter as the mindless fun of Call of Duty serves as a fantastic reminder.

That is, if players can actually get into games, as numerous gamers are reporting significant issues with the game unexpectedly crashing on PC.

So, what's happening? And how can you fix it? Here's everything you need to know about the Black Ops 7 beta crashing on PC.

Black Ops 7 beta crashing on PC

If you're battling with the Black Ops 7 beta crashing while you're gaming on your PC, you're not alone. Players worldwide are reporting significant issues with the game, as it abruptly shuts down without warning, often mid-game. Black Ops 7 is throwing out the standard 0x3 error code to players, which isn't particularly enlightening for many seeking help after being ejected from games.

However, there are steps that players have found helpful:

• Restart your PC
• Ensure the game isn’t installed from Dual Sources, as some players are seeing issues after downloading from the Xbox App and Steam or Battle.net
• Verify your game files by checking the Installed Files of the game on Steam, clicking Scan and Repair in the Settings menu of Call of Duty on Battle.net and using the Gaming Services Repair tool in the Xbox app
• Uninstall and reinstall your Black Ops 6 beta client
• Check your hardware to make sure you’re meeting the minimum requirements for the game
• Update your drivers as well as your edition of Windows

This seems to be aiding players so far, and we hope it'll be beneficial to you too. It's far from ideal that this is happening at all, especially when players are already somewhat disillusioned with the game after sampling what Battlefield 6 has to offer.

Stick with it and see what Black Ops 7 can bring to the table, and you might finish this beta with a renewed sense of optimism. That is, if your PC will permit it.
