Dev Error 6068
Activision Call of Duty: Warzone
Severity: ModerateWhat Does This Error Mean?
Dev Error 6068 in Call of Duty is a GPU-related crash that kicks you out of the game mid-match. It is almost always caused by outdated GPU drivers, an overclocked graphics card, or corrupted game files. Updating your GPU driver is the fix that works for most players.
Affected Models
- Call of Duty: Warzone
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
Common Causes
- Outdated or corrupted GPU (graphics card) driver
- GPU overclocked beyond a stable limit
- Corrupted game files — particularly common after an update
- GPU overheating and throttling mid-game
- Conflicting overlay software such as Discord, MSI Afterburner, or GeForce Experience
How to Fix It
-
Update your GPU driver. For NVIDIA, use GeForce Experience or download from nvidia.com. For AMD, use Radeon Software or download from amd.com.
An outdated GPU driver is the single most common cause of Dev Error 6068. Always download the driver directly from NVIDIA or AMD, not from Windows Update, to get the latest gaming-optimised version.
-
Scan and repair game files. In Battle.net, click the gear icon next to Call of Duty and choose Scan and Repair. In Steam, right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity.
A failed update can leave corrupted files that cause the crash. The scan usually takes 10-15 minutes and replaces any bad files automatically.
-
If you are overclocking your GPU, revert it to stock settings using MSI Afterburner or your GPU's control software.
Call of Duty pushes the GPU hard — an overclock that is stable in other games may crash under CoD's load. Run at stock speeds first to confirm that is the cause before tuning again.
-
Disable in-game overlays from Discord, GeForce Experience, and Steam while running Call of Duty.
Multiple overlays running simultaneously can conflict with the game's DirectX rendering. Disable each one and test to find the conflicting program.
Frequently Asked Questions

No — Dev Error 6068 is a local crash on your PC caused by a GPU issue. It is not related to Activision's servers. If it happens to multiple people at the same time, it is usually because a new game update introduced a driver conflict.
Can Dev Error 6068 damage my GPU?
No. The error is a software crash — the game detects that the GPU driver has stopped responding and exits safely. Your GPU hardware is not at risk from this error.
