If you’ve played previous Call of Duty games, you’ll be all too familiar with the DirectX error, and unfortunately, Black Ops 6 is no exception. For many players, the game crashes with the error message “DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error” along with an error code, signature, location, and executable data. This can happen at launch, after loading a match, or after 4-5 matches, and has been happening since the beta.

This error can be caused by several issues related to graphics settings or hardware. Here are some possible solutions that you may want to try.
Graphics drivers allow your GPU to communicate effectively with your game. If these drivers are outdated, they will not be able to fully support newer versions of DirectX, leading to crashes and errors. Updating your drivers will ensure compatibility with the latest games like Black Ops 6.
Another Reddit user says that adding -d3d11 to the Steam launch parameters fixed the issue. This forces the game to use DirectX 11 instead of 12 and the game has not crashed since.
