Black Ops 4 Fatal Error Code 546354288 – Is There a Fix?

October 12, 2018

These things always happen at the worst possible moment. If you’re here, chances are you’re being met with Black Ops 4 Fatal Error Code 546354288 and need a quick way out of it so you can play on launch day. Unfortunately, it isn’t quite that simple. While a Black Ops 4 Fatal Error Code 546354288 fix may be forthcoming, there isn’t anything official on the way just yet. Instead, we’ll have a look for a few sneaky solutions, and see what might be causing the Fatal Error Code on PC.

What is Black Ops 4 Fatal Error Code 546354288?

While not the only Fatal Error Code currently being suffered through, the Black Ops 4 Fatal Error Code 546354288 is certainly stressing out more than its far share of players. For now, it can be found solely on PC and not Xbox One or PS4. Anecdotal evidence from users, such as those on the Call of Duty Support forums indicates that Blackout (especially landing on the ground on Blackout) is most heavily affected.

So, how do you know if you’ve got it? Unfortunately, a message will pop up and your Black Ops 4 game client will immediately close. That’s about as painful as it sounds.

Is there a Black Ops 4 Fatal Error Code 546354288 Fix?

There has been no word from either Activision or Treyarch on a possible fix for Fatal Error Code 546354288, but Reddit offers up a treasure trove of possible fixes that, while they may not all work, at least gives you something to do instead of pulling your hair out. They include:

Updating drivers/reverting them back to a previous state
Changing server region
Uninstalling and re-downloading the game
Set the game to be excluded from Anti-virus software
Ensure all Windows Updates have been fully installed
Launch the game via Safe Mode/administrator mode
Disable Nvidia overlay

If you’re also looking for Fatal Error Code fixes for other error messages and crashes, they also might be your best bet. For now, though, it may be wise to wait for an official patch and/or hotfix across the weekend, as hard as that may be to take in. We’ll update this page when we hear more through official channels.

Hey, I’m Bradley. I am legally required to tell you that my puns are terrible and I should, under no circumstances, be told otherwise. I’m that weird gaming guy you can’t really fit into one neat box: I love all of the sports games, Madden especially, but I’m equally at home polishing off a 45-hour Japanese visual novel. Also, go and play Danganronpa. Like, right now. Seriously.

For my sins, I’m a Crystal Palace and Colts fan which means I’m down in the dumps most weekends – so feel free to mock me over on Twitter.
