Steam

Reset your GPU and GPU to stock settings

If you are a PC gamer, we won't blame you for fiddling with the hardware. Usually, overclocking and undervolting help with performance and thermals, and it is pretty common in the scene.

However, in some cases, they may not suit the shooter. Although you might have verified your CPU and GPU settings for stability and passed, they can still cause issues with the title. Hence, it is advised to set your hardware to its default clock and voltage values.

If you are no longer crashing after setting them to the default clocks and volts, you can be assured that your hardware settings were not stable for the game.

Turn off third-party overlays

PC players often use third-party overlay tools such as RTSS to monitor the system vitals. However, they may conflict with the game's anti-cheat, causing it to crash. To monitor your system, you can use the Telemetry settings in the game to keep an eye on your PC stats. You can find them under Telemetry, in Interface settings. This should resolve the Warzone error code 0x00001338.

That covers everything about all the possible fixes for the Warzone error code 0x00001338. If the error persists, despite implementing the fixes mentioned above, it is recommended to contact the Activision Support team for further assistance.
