But don’t worry. I will tell you the story about why the problem appears in the first place and what you have to do to solve this as well.

So, why does the Call of Duty warzone shaders bug appear?

The Call of Duty warzone shaders bug appears for two reasons, primarily; either your PC is incompatible, or the game is bugged. Also, for some unknown reason, you face this problem repeatedly. You might follow the processes every time you play the game until the developer fixes the issue permanently.

I don’t wanna waste any more of your time. Let’s jump into the methods and follow them, which might be the first aid for your game until the actual treatment comes.

How to Fix Shaders Installation on Call of Duty Warzone

People like us who played Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 know that the installing shaders bug is in the game from it’s launching. The developer released update patches, but the issue was there, and it was almost gone before the Warzone update.

But the issue came back immediately after the Warzone landed in the market, and it persists, and the developer provides no authentic guideline whatsoever.

But gamers like us found a way to retreat from the issue. If your game gets stuck during installation or pops up as a bug during the gameplay, follow and apply the methods I’m going to share with you.

Here are the methods you must follow to solve your problem:

How to Fix COD Modern Warfare Error Code 65536

You can face error code 65536 out of the blue while playing COD on your device, either trying to join an online game or after you get disconnected from an ongoing match. This can occur on every device that supports COD.

Two culprits might provoke this error code to happen. Maybe you faced a server problem or TCP/ IP inconsistency. So, to solve the issue, you need to focus on two things. Check whether you’re facing the error code 65536 for the server problem or TCP/ IP inconsistency.

Here are some quick solutions you must try to fix error code 65536:

Fix 1: Checking for the Server Issue

If the server is troubled somehow, you may encounter this error. So you need to go to the dedicated status page by Activision and select Call of Duty as you have issues with it from the drop-down menu on the top-right corner.

You can see if the platform is having the issue or not at the moment. If it is not, move to the following method.

Fix 2: Reset your Router

If your network is inconsistent, error 65536 can pop up on your screen. So, you have to make sure of the stability of your network.

How can you do it?

First, restart your router. If it solves the issue, you don’t have to perform a network reboot.

If it’s not, well, you’ll have to reboot your network. Here’s how you can reset your router to reboot your network:

  • Find the reset button on the rear panel. Press the reset button by using a paperclip for 10 seconds. You’ll see flashes coming from the front panel.
  • Restart COD when the internet light glows.

See if the problem resists.

If it fails to ensure the stability of the network, contact your provider.

Note: Ensure you know the consequences of rebooting the network.

Conclusion

Call of duty: Warzone is one of the most fantastic battle royale video games in the gaming arena. But it feels pathetic when the shaders bug appears at installing or in the middle of the game.
