Yesterday I was playing Warzone on the new Caldera map. I was having fun on Warzone for the first time in a long time when next thing you know my game crashes. It’s happened before, no biggy I thought. Let’s just boot the game up again and get back at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well it turns out my Sunday of gaming was going to turn into a Sunday of tech troubleshooting. Every time I went into the Battle.net launcher the Play button would state “Checking Game Files” with a % complete bar. This checking took around 15 minutes. Once it finished it would just do a loop and go back to checking game files again for another 15 minutes of fun. Luckily in the end I found a solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are having the same issue you have came to the right place. Follow the steps below and you will be back in the Warzone in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Fix “Scanning Game Files Loop”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – Open Battle.net Launcher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First open up the Battle.net launcher and navigate to Warzone. To the right of the play button click on the Settings COG –> Show In Explorer<\/strong>. This will open up the Warzone game files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2 – Delete These Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the game files navigate to Call Of Duty Modern Warfare –> Data –> data. <\/strong>In this folder we need to delete two types of files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first we want to delete is all of the IDX Files. Highlight all of IDX files –> Right Click –> Delete.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then want to delete all of the data.XXX files that are only 1kb in size. Filter the files by size and highlight all the files 1kb in size –> Right Click –> Delete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3 – Run Scan And Repair Tool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that we have deleted the files go back over to the battle.net launcher. Go back to the settings COG beside the play button and click on Scan and Repair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will run the scan and repair tool on your game . It may take a few minutes to repair as it has to re-download some small files. Once this has completed you should be able to play the game again without any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since applying the fix I have been playing for a few hours without any crashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully this quick fix has helped you to enjoy your gaming session instead of spending hours trying to find a bug fix. Now go out there and secure that dub!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
