10. If that did not work, check if uninstalling the graphics driver with a 3^rd party uninstaller like DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and reinstalling the graphics driver (with the clean installation option) clears out the error 5763.
11. If the issue continues to occur, check if installing an older version of the graphics driver solves the Warzone DirectX error. 

If the issue still persists, check if disabling all the monitors except the primary monitor in the system’s Device Manager (if multi-monitors are being used) solves the problem. Check if changing the PCI-E Y splitter cable of GPU to 2 cables solves the problem.

Edit the System’s Registry to Increase its TdrDelay 

Timeout Detection and Recovery delay (TdrDelay) is a Windows technique in which the Windows OS waits a certain amount of time before killing a driver due to a non-timely response. If the TdrDelay is less than what the GPU may take to render a request, then the OS may kill the graphics driver in the operation and thus cause the Warzone to crash with dev error 5763. In such a case, increasing the TdrDelay of the system by editing the system’s registry may solve the problem.

Warning: Advance with extreme caution and at your own risk as editing the PC’s registry is a skillful task and if anything goes wrong, you may cause everlasting damage to your data and system.  

1. Click Windows, search for RegEdit, right-click on its result, and in the sub-menu, select Run as Administrator.

   

2. Then navigate to the following path:

   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

3. Now, in the right-pane, check if the TdrDelay value is present (if so, follow steps 6 and onward).
4. If not, then in the left pane, right-click on the GraphicsDrivers registry key and select New>> Dword (32-bit) Value.

   

5. Now, name the value as TdrDelay and double click on it.
6. Then change the Base to Decimal and set its value to 60.

   

7. Again, create another Dword (32-bit) Value and name it as TdrDdiDelay.
8. Now double click on it and change the Base to Decimal.
9. Then set its value to 60 and close the Registry Editor.

   

10. Now restart your system and upon restart, launch Warzone to check if it is clear of the dev error 5763.

Uninstall MSI Afterburner

MSI Afterburner is one of the top utilities to monitor and overclock a graphic card. If the monitoring or overclocking capabilities of this application is interfering with the Warzone’s game modules, then it may result in the dev error 5763. In such a case, uninstalling the MSI Afterburner may solve the problem.

1. Right-click Windows and select Apps & Features.
2. Now expand Afterburner and click on Uninstall.

   

3. Then follow the prompts on the screen to complete the uninstallation of Afterburner and once done, restart your system.
4. Upon restart, launch Warzone and check if it is working fine.
5. If not, check if performing a clean boot of the Windows PC solves the problem. If so, you may find out the problematic startup application by enabling them one by one till the culprit one is found. 

Disable XMP Profile in the System BIOS

Many gaming PCs come with a factory-enabled XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) profile and the overclocking by XMP is a reported culprit to cause the Warzone game to crash with dev error 5763. If your PC has this overclocking XMP profile or similar features like DOCP or EOCP, then that can cause the issue at hand. Here, disabling the XMP profile in the system’s BIOS may solve the problem.

   C:\Windows\Temp
   
   C:\Program Files (x86)\
   
   C:\Program Files\
   
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\Blizzard Entertainment
   
   C:\Users\Public\Games\
   
   C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Blizzard Entertainment\

8. Once done, restart your system and upon restart, reinstall the COD Warzone game.
9. Once installed, launch Warzone, and hopefully, Warzone will be cleared of the dev error 5763.

Revert the Overclock Settings of System to Stock Speeds

Warzone is reported to not go well with any type of overclocking speeds (either factory overclocked or by the user). As overclocking is a vast topic, we can just say, make sure the overclock settings (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.) are set to stock speeds (in some cases, underclocking) and then check if the Warzone issue is resolved. Some users reported that removing the base overclock on the GPU worked for them, so, make sure that is not the case with you.

Check The System’s RAMs

If none of the above solved the dev error 5763, then most probably a faulty or incompatible RAM is causing the issue. Firstly, check if increasing the RAM voltage (e.g., from 1.35v to 1.39v) solves the problem. If that did not work, you may remove the RAM sticks one by one and launch the Warzone game till the problematic one is found. You can also use Windows Memory Diagnostic or Memtest to find out a failing RAM. If you have some spare RAM available (or can have from a friend or family), then check if using those RAMs solves the Warzone problem.
