Steps to Fix Dev Error 6456 in Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone

This particular Dev Error 6456 in COD MW or Warzone indicates that there are some issues with your installed DirectX version. However, some of the users have reported that the same issue is occurring on their PC due to third-party software overlays like Discord/NZXT Cam. So, it’s confirmed that there is no problem with your GPU driver and Windows version.

Meanwhile, plenty of users have reported on Activision Support Forum about this Dev Error 6456 issue. According to the affected users, somehow the background running third-party software overlays are causing this issue and preventing the game to launch properly. While the NZXT Cam overlay seems a major culprit here for most of the users.

Therefore, disabling the NZXT Cam overlay fixes the dev error from occurring in most cases. Now, if you don’t use NZXT Cam overlay, then you should check for the Discord Overlay or any other overlays on the system and try to disable them to check for the issue. Additionally, we will also recommend you to check for the latest update of your graphics driver & Windows version as sometimes an outdated driver can also cause issues.

If none of the above methods works for you, then you can also try to Scan and Repair the game files using the Scan and Repair Tool on the Battle.net launcher. Just open the battle.net launcher > Head over to the Settings > Choose Scan and Repair. If there any issue with the game file, this method will fix it automatically. Once done, restart your PC and run the COD Warzone or Modern Warfare game to check whether the issue has been fixed or not.
