With that out of the way, here are some of the known possible fixes for Dev Error 6036 in Warzone:

Remove any overclocks/undervolts

It is not uncommon for PC gamers to tweak their systems to get the best possible results. Players might overclock their systems for better performance or undervolt for lower temps and energy efficiency. However, these tweaks can sometimes also introduce stability issues.

Even if your system passes for stability in other games or synthetic tests, it's highly recommended to revert everything to its stock values and then try running the title. This should resolve the issue.

Verify the integrity of game files

As we have discussed earlier, one of the most common reasons for the Dev Error 6036 in Warzone to occur is due to corrupted game files. Fortunately, on Windows PCs, it's pretty easy to fix. All clients, be it Steam, Xbox App, or Battle.net, have a file checker that can quickly scan through the game files, and if any discrepancies are found, the client automatically downloads a fresh set of files. Here is how you can do so:

Steam

Go to your game library.
Right-click on Call of Duty HQ and select Properties.
Click on Installed Files.
Select Verify integrity of game files.

Xbox App

From your installed games, find Call of Duty.
Right-click on it and navigate to Manage.
Select the Files tab.
Click on Verify and Repair.

Battle.net

Go to the Call of Duty tab.
Select the cog wheel right next to the Play button.
Click on Scan and Repair.
Select Begin Scan.

Depending on your hardware, this can take a while. Once the scan is complete, the client will report if any corrupted files were found. If they were, it would automatically download new files, replacing the broken ones, which should fix the issue.

Reinstall the game

Although it is a less-than-ideal solution, your next best bet at fixing the game is just going for a complete reinstall. This fix can be adopted by all players irrespective of the platform they are on. If you have Warzone and Black Ops 6 installed on your system, you may be able to resolve the error by only uninstalling Warzone and then reinstalling it. However, it's recommended to uninstall both games and then go for a fresh install.

That covers everything you need to know about fixing the Dev Error 6036 in Warzone.
