DEV ERROR 6036 in Call of Duty typically means the game couldn't load a required asset or ran out of memory while trying.
How to fix it:
- Scan and Repair the game — in Battle.net: click the gear icon > Scan and Repair. On Steam: Verify Integrity of Game Files
- Delete the shader cache: go to Documents > Call of Duty > players, delete any 'shadercache' or 'cache' folders
- Increase virtual memory: Right-click This PC > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory > Change > Set to at least 16GB
- Make sure you have at least 16GB RAM — CoD is very memory-hungry. Close Chrome and other RAM-heavy apps
- Check your storage drive health with CrystalDiskInfo — corrupted game files from a failing drive cause asset loading errors
- Reinstall the game on an SSD if it's currently on an HDD — slow loading can trigger timeout errors
- Disable On-Demand Texture Streaming in graphics settings
