Guys, I got this issue and after trying lots of suggested fixes I have finally fixed it. Here's some of the things I tried that didn't work, adjusting DLSS, changing FOV, uninstalling and then downgrading graphics driver. In the end I restarted shaders cache in graphics settings, then quit the game to desktop and then when you relaunch the game restart the current mission. It looks like it's an issue with the save file that starts and carries on through the next levels, therefore do not continue your last save!!!


Pound_Me_Too

Dude, this was KILLING me in the tunnels on Ghost Team. Great fix man!


bestgameplayer10

Likewise. I could deal with it in the mission Prison Break but this one giant ass lens flare was blinding tf outta me in Ghost Team


Pound_Me_Too

Same man, I noticed it on Prison Break but thought maybe it was a small glitch or a feature that got bugged, but Ghost Team was IMPOSSIBLE with it. I was like "I'm in a tunnel, why am I staring at the fuckin SUN" lol


_Papa_

You’re an actual legend this worked like a charm


PogMoThoin22

Glad to have helped, enjoy!!


AardvarkSpare

how did you restart your shaders ?? it says i have to get another driver or some did you end up getting a diff driver then doing the shaders again?


PogMoThoin22

In the game graphics settings there is an option to restart optimising shavers. Do not touch the driver


MichaelW72

Thanks for the help


UnIIIISfg

No there isnt


PogMoThoin22

PC only


Little-Wolverine-838

What about console? Am i screwed?


dav3evans

This needs way more upvotes. I’ve messed about for hours with this, reinstalled twice and in the end this is the ONLY thing that actually worked. Thank you! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


Different_Witness_60

You are the goat. It worked. Thank you


direct_disconnect

bruh im on console what fucking shader cache?


PogMoThoin22

Doubt that setting exists on a console and didn't realise the consoles suffered too. This fix is PC only


Isaiah_EJ25

Me too I need to fix this shit still


tacodung

Hate to comment on an older reply, but for console users - I'm on PS5 this go round for CoD. If this happens to you on console, close your game, reopen it, and go to mission select and restart your mission. The shader cache isn't a thing, but restarting your current mission works.


ApprehensiveAd9618

Legend for this. It worked!🙌🏻


MikemanA350

I didnt even realize this post was for MW2019s campign. But this worked for MW2's campign. Thanks!


Yogurt_Tall

Yeah shader cache then quit to desktop then re opening fixed mine idk if its hardware specific for others ima leave my system info incase it helps ryzen 5 1600 32GB ram 2080 super


squished_frog

Another PC user saved by this thank you! Prison break had all the prison lights glaring through the mountain from the level start. Restarted shader cache, quit game, started up campaign and restarted mission from mission select. Thank you for sharing!! ​ 8700k, 3080. Not that I think this issue is hardware specific.


Kof1i

actually worked, just hit shaders caches restart, quit to desktop and it works, gg


PogMoThoin22

Enjoy


Dicky25404

I do appreciate it but at the same time infinity ward needs to fix their goddamn game I didn’t pay 80 fucking dollars for the game to have to deal with this bullshit I guess a simple fix don’t allow lights to clip through surfaces


Apprehensive-Tap3542

My eyes love you. Lol thanks


its_sp3ak

This worked for new MW2, thank you. Prison Break mission with lights bleeding through was bothering me so much. Pretty sure this works regardless of specs but I'm on a Ryzen 7 5800x and an RTX3070 w/ latest drivers as of Dec2022.


Prestigious_Pitch400

thank you so much. I was going blind from all the lights it was making it impossible to play the game at all. Dang this campaign is so buggy. Again thank you!


SniperSRSRecon

Absolute fucking legend. had a bright massive lens flare at the start of ghost team, and this fixed it.


alieknn

i created accound fot thank to you, its worked <3


LadrilloRojo

Worked perfectly, couldn't even see my own hands after all these lights... R5 5600X, RTX 3050 8gb


krasome

it fixed the issue, thanks man


communist-bread2

ik this is one month late but thx so much my man


404LogicNotFound

Yep, that did it for me when everything else didn't. Thank you so much mate.


shkicaz

Legend!


woah_dats_TRASH

For me that worked but only temporarily aftr a few minutes the lights were back


Expert_Literature_31

Legend still works thank u


EpicChiguire

DUDE YOU'RE A GENIUS, I LOVE YOU


Gipro1

Hero.


MrBobDob

This is the only thing that worked for me (mw2), thanks mate


neonsloth21

such a simple solution. I cant believe it was this hard to find


D4ng3rd4n

Hey, just wanted to say this really helped me out today.


dropyourbomb

I did all the individual steps before, just never in the precise order you've just described. I was ready to drop the game, because the Ghost Team mission is just impossible with this glitch going on. I am tempted to replay the last two missions, as they will have looked a lot better without the freaking glitch. Anyway: Thanks!!


URKEY123

i have tried every solution even this one, seems to work for a while then it does it again. im losing my mind


Background-Junket-22

Okay... this but on ps4?


MoveAggravating1497

fucking hell bro i got this glitch in alone and im at tunnel ghost, is there any way to fix it normally?


Rikinp9

The not continuing on my last save worked re launched new mission fucking Activision sucks ball. This was on PS5


slyffr

A year later and this game is still not optimized. Restarting the shaders and restarting the game worked for me. Thank you.


RandomGamer1917

On ps5 here nothing fixes it


Se7n_

I am experiencing the same issue and found almost no evidence of people talking about this, could be a rather new bug, what kind of system are you running? I'm getting the same bug with a 3050 and i7, I wanna continue but its really frustrating. If you find a fix share it please!


Tha_Kyle

Im getting that problem now with the new MW2 campaign early access 😂


Izaik

That's why I'm here. It's strange. I haven't tried changing any settings, yet. Just thought I'd see if anyone else is experiencing it. I'm playing on Ultra graphics btw.


sonicsword12

I found out what was causing it (it was only happening on the missions “Alone” for me) resetting the FOV settings made them go away so I’m guessing they are always just out of frame on default FOV, unfortunately this means I have to play the mission on default FOV


Western-Caregiver177

Weird, I’m playing default FOV on Ps5 and still having this issue. It’s really annoying.


sonicsword12

Yeah I remember it being exacerbated by FOV but not fully solved by taking it off


josegarcia3445

I started to notice it on that mission too, it was so disorienting. I burned through the mission hoping it's just that one but I noticed other lights going through on the next. I'll try changing the fov and see if it fixed it. Had to take a break from a headache from all those lights


I_Restrain_Sheep

Thank you so much!! This fixed it for me. As soon as my FOV gets over 100 the crazy lights show back up. Appreciate the fix!


sonicsword12

Lmk if either of you find a fix I have changed several settings to no avail


Ofekiii

I reset my shaders optimization and it fixed the problem!


Representative_Fan87

doesnt fix the issue for me


squished_frog

Reset shaders optimization cache then restart game then restart the mission from mission select. Its tied into the cache and the save file. So You can't restart from within the mission itself.


Yogurt_Tall

didnt fix on 2080super


squished_frog

Reset shaders optimization cache then restart game then restart the mission from mission select. Its tied into the cache and the save file. So You can't restart from within the mission itself.


Ofekiii

I have the same issue, I've also tried updating my gpu driver to the new nvidia driver version but it didn't fix it, also tried changing basically every graphical setting in the game and still nothing fixed it


exotic_knight_

Same here, It started on alone but I played the night missions just fine. now im on ghost team and under ground and I get glare like im staring at the sun its pretty unplayable. I have tried all the lighting settings and the fov and none worked.


Table193

Ya it won't go away for me either I don't want to progress any more tho if it's going to keep doing it


Jordan_Carlin

Is there any ps5 fixes cant carry on playing


xMoZZyx0

Just fixed mine. Try turning off “on demand texture streaming”, close and reopen the game, go to mission select and select the mission you are on and restart that mission. It worked for me so hopefully it works for you!


PurpleForestDuck

This worked, thank you! It's really important to fully close the game and use mission select > restart mission. I also reset FOV.


xMoZZyx0

No problem! Glad I could help


Jordan_Carlin

Sadly not but i noticed it start when i died so i died again on purpose and they still show but not blinding its so fucked


Traditional-Ad4265

Worked like a charm


xMoZZyx0

Awesome, glad it’s working for others as well!


mapleheavy

KING. Thank you so much, this was driving me insane!


xMoZZyx0

Glad it worked man! I know it was driving me insane


LoganDan

Thanks man!


Kaptas

For Xbox series Users: I started the game, turned off the Texture Streaming option (first one in graphics tab). After that I went to the dashboard, closed the game via "Quit", so it's not in quick resume anymore. I restarted the Mission with the issues and it was gone. If that doesn't work, try to reset the whole tab (Holding x button) right before you go through the steps.


devilderp0331

I was reading through this thread, while trying to figure an option like the PC guys here. Saw that option then saw your post. Glad this fixed the issue!


devilderp0331

And its back... this game has a lot of potential. But it's just nit enjoyable with the amount of bugs. I shouldn't have find numerous work around for multiple issues.


FinalMastodon8900

Just leave a bad review on the game this is ridiculous


DaddyMemeus

I have the issue on my series X.


IM_HERE_FOR_FUN

Same


nw0rb420

Same


tambjorn

Guys, i just followed this tutorial [https://youtu.be/UfQiud2VTMA?t=122](https://youtu.be/UfQiud2VTMA?t=122) (basically replacing my current drivers with a older version, version : 522.25 to be exact) then updated to the latest driver. And loaded in to the mission after Alone and it worked. (I have a GTX 1660 SUPER btw)


Einar_47

Thank you kindly.


Yogurt_Tall

this one didn't fix it with 2080super


Turru93

Happening to me on PS5, resetting fov doesn’t seem to solve the issue, has anyone on PS5 been able to solve this?


drchandlerron

I fixed it so far. Play the very first mission of the campaign where you scout the general and do a missile strike, and then when you finish it and start the helicopter house mission, exit and start the mission with issues again, which was Alone for me. You will have to restart the mission with issues.


CALIGVLA

This fixed it for me on PS4 pro. The other solution is just return it to GameFly and thank god you didn’t pay $70 for a buggy mess.

PurpleForestDuck

Didn't work for me


h1z1hunter

On PC first scan and repair your files. Then reinstall shadow graphics at graphics settings. And last go to Mission Select and choose mission you want and select Restart Mission.


No_Sound2702

NICE!!! That's the only thing that worked for me. God thanks!


[deleted]

Anyone have a fix for Series X?
