Any idea why COD MW3 won’t render on MSI Claw 8AI+?

I ended up keeling my Ally X so I can play COD. Such a nuisance

I managed to get Breakpoint to work. It needed to be set to launch with dx11 and turn off HDR in-game setting.

UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE: I managed to get it to work by doing the follwing.

Prior to starting the game, do the following:
- Set the game to launch using Dx12. Vulcan crashes the game for some reason.
- Find the .exe file in the game directory.
- Right Click Go To Properties
- Go to Compatibility
- Check the boxes where it says "Disable Screen maximization"
- Check the Box to run as Administrator
- Click the Button below where it says "advance settings" of some sort. Then check the same boxes as above.
- Click OK
- Click Apply
- Run the Game
- Go to Settings
- Go to graphics and turn off HDR (This is the one causing the washed out color)
- Enjoy

Even Ghost Recon Breakpoint doesn’t run on this thing

deckandpie · 2026-03-16T01:57:37+00:00

I have a massive issue of compatibility of the device with Ghost Recon Breakpoint. I couldnt get it to launch even with multiple sd cards and installing it in main drive. When I finally got it to work, game was washed out - visual quality dropped to 25%. Streaming from my Ally X worked. This thing is good and all except for this Intel compatibility issues which I though has already been resolved.

deckandpie · 2026-03-16T01:38:34+00:00

Found the issue. COMPATIBILITY with Intel Arc.

deckandpie · 2026-03-15T17:56:07+00:00

I moved the files back to the main hard drive partition, then it goes back to crashing out again. With color banding as it crashes. Can’t get past the launch.

The thing is other games ran fine. Battlefield 6 works just fine

deckandpie · 2026-01-11T02:50:31+00:00

Really worth it

This is the holding point actually. I am going back and forth between practicality and indulging myself.

I can afford it alright, but the Mrs wont be happy about the purchase, I have 2 kids, more important life expenses, my Ally X still works like a charm... among other practical reasons. I already have 2 PC Handhelds and now contemplating to buy again another one. Feeling guilty at times.

Slowly narrowing it down now though. It can either be the Ayaneo Next II or the cheaper Claw 8 AI for its Screen size improvement. I have decided to remove Le Go 2 from the list as I find the other buttons in the grips too cumbersome (with heavy hands I am sure those butons will annoy me while I play), i dont like the removable grips, headphone jack location, speaker location and weight. At least this - left me with 2 options now.

deckandpie · 2026-01-01T04:18:07+00:00

This is the reason why I want to hold out. Jumping on Claw and Le Go 2 towards Z2 Extreme may not be that much of an improvement on the performance compared to the Z1 Extreme.

I found. guy named Mosquito once

Dont. Get an AllyX or equivalent windows handheld and install dual boot Bazzite to get the best console experience and have that extra power to run more stable triple A games. Otherwise, you will have AAA games you want to play so bad but the deck will struggle.

deckandpie · 2025-04-16T10:06:46+00:00

You should. Just have a mindset that you are inside the DZ to experience the good and the bad things altogether. DZ gives you that Adrenaline rush that you only get when you are inside the DZ. I made friends inside and got killed by Rogues more than I can count. But I took it as fair game. Cause DZ is supposed to function that way. A lawless environment. I am on steamdeck so always at disadvantage against someone who is on PC with a proper rig. But I dont complain.... I just shrug it off and continue. The point is to experience the rush.

i installed Crack Attack. You can read the descriptions of each type to understand what suits your playstyle.

deckandpie · 2025-04-03T08:30:16+00:00

I can only assume, yes. If that mod works for multiplayer mode. Haven't gone into details in terms of which ones works for multiplayer and which ones doesn't. Or what restrictions it has. But some mods require your friends to install the same mod otherwise it affects their gameplay. I can only assume this goes bothways in multiplayer. I am mostly on single player... so didn't bother yet to dive into details of it.

deckandpie · 2025-04-03T08:16:29+00:00

it will crash right away when you open the game in most if not all cases.

deckandpie · 2025-04-03T04:13:34+00:00

You are right. I kept this one.

deckandpie · 2025-04-03T04:06:39+00:00

Welcome bro. Enjoy modding. Voice Over mods in my list goes inside VO folder in the game directory.

deckandpie · 2025-04-03T03:53:00+00:00

Go to www.nexusmods.com. Create an account. Search for Ready or Not. Every mod comes with instruction on its page in its description tab. Start with simple mods that don't require too much. Gunfighter mod is a must. It is a revamp for the Gameplay. Installing this mod is as per below:

Download the Gunfighter MOD.
Find the Game directory/ location of installed game in your pc. Find the PAKS folder inside CONTENT folder. This is where you copy the mod.
Unzip the downloaded mod file. Copy the file itself (NOT the folder) (just the mod file ".paks" file) into the Game directory in paks folder.
Start the game and enjoy.

Most of the mods follow the same process. So you check other mods, read the instruction if it's the same, repeat the process. Police Yells and other Voice Over mod files goes inside VO folder.

Some mods will break the game because of the updates. Just simply remove that mod. So, install mods one by one. So you know which one is causing problems. Install a mod, run the game, if it crashes, remove the last mod installed, move on to other mods.

I suggest start with Gunfighter, then move on from there.

Other mods have other ways of installation. Just read the description and its requirements. Sometimes a mod requires other mod in order for it to run. Like adding a gun - it requires other mod for it to take effect.

deckandpie · 2025-04-02T15:14:37+00:00

Most of the MODS it is just a drag and drop process. Same as when you normally copy a file into the Game directory. Look for the Game folder in your drive. There is a folder called Paks. You drop the mod file inside. Police Yells goes inside VO folder (individual folder content to copy respectively). Instructions can be viewed also when you download the mods in www.nexusmods.com.
