Hello @karleks & @jordan321 and thank you for sharing this insight with us.
When checking the reddit thread, I have noticed that some users mentioned uninstalling the antivirus seems to have solved the issue, thus if this is indeed happening in conjuction with Bitdefender, we would have to find out which security module is affecting the performance of the game. The first step would be to temporarily disable the security modules in Bitdefender one by one and resume playing after each deactivation, to see if the behaviour of the game improves. The steps to take can be found in the article below, but I also recommend contacting our Support engineers for a more detailed investigation, because they must be aware of this asap, since it seems to affect multiple users. I will leave the contact link below as well.

There are 3 available contact channels to choose from. The faster we get this feedback to our engineers, the better.
Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for the responses. I've sent an e-mail to the support using the contact page. The problem seems to lie with the Advanced Threat Defense component.
Feel free too pass it along to the bitdefender team. @Alexandru_BD

Thank you. For now I've added the executable files to exceptions under ATD and this seems to solve the problem for now

That sounds like a good workaround for now 👍️

@karleks we have internal reproduction and a task has been raised for our developers to further investigate. I confirm adding .exe exceptions for ATD will do the trick, but we still need a permanent fix for this.
If anyone has a reddit account and can share the news & workaround with the affected users there, it is much appreciated.
Once again, thank you for bringing this to our attention, your insight is very helpful! 🙏

I've done as much on several threads.
Thank you for escalating the issue.

Simply turning off "ADVANCED THREAT DETECTION" solved it. You can easily reproduce this with the inbuilt benchmark. 👍️

As was also just confirmed by this member from the below thread.

UPDATE: This is fixed since last evening, confirmed for Call of Duty and Wildhearts.
May I kindly ask everyone to test the games with ATD enabled and let us know your findings?

Was the fix released through regular updates or new build version of Bitdefender?
Regards.

Same thing I was wondering. And if they needed to do a right-click update to make sure they get it sooner.

A signature update was pushed yesterday evening. But a right-click update won't hurt.
Cheers!

Since last week I started having issues with CoD MW2 loading to black screen before crashing. I have spent considerable time bouncing between Battle.net and Activision support. I have been re-loading drivers and reinstalling Windows. I found this thread only after Bitdefender was not reloaded with a Windows repair. Neither a product update nor registering the executables as threat exceptions resolves the issue. Whatever was pushed is not working for me - if I disable Advanced Threat Defense everything works fine. If there is a bug how about broadcasting the same way EVERY OTHER SOFTWARE COMPANY DOES.

In my post I stated that I set exceptions for COD executables. Likely look for different antivirus until this is sorted. Got other stuff to do.

This auto update stuff is really annoying as hell. Whenever I start my PC, launch an ONLINE ONLY game, Bitdefender decides to update the Firewall or program and then I lose connection to the game because the network was disconnected.
This is the most annoying Security solution out there.
I don't even understand why it needs to disconnect the network or adapter in order to finish an update.I'm not going to renew my license that I had for so many years because this company has dumbed down the options and features to control the application all these years.
Fix this asap!
