Relaunch COD Modern Warfare 3 to see if the memory error 12707 is gone. If not, please move on.

4. Verify the game files

Corrupted or missing files will also cause problems like memory error 12707 in COD Modern Warfare 3. To see if this is the case, you can verify your game files, which also updates the game to the latest version.

To do so:

• Battle.net
• Steam

4.1 Battle.net

To verify the game’s files on Battle.net:

1. Open Battle.net, and click the icon of COD Modern Warfare 3.
2. Click the cogwheel next to the Play button and select Scan and Repair.
   
3. Click Begin Scan.
   
4. Wait for the repair to finish.

4.2 Steam

1. Launch Steam.
2. In the LIBRARY, right-click COD Modern Warfare 3 and select Properties from the drop-down menu.
   
   
3. Select the Installed Files tab and click on the Verified integrity of game files button.
   
   
4. Steam will verify the game’s files – this process may take several minutes.

When the game file verification and repair are done, launch COD Modern Warfare 3 again to see if the memory error 12707 remains. If so, please move on.

5. Increase virtual memory

Another common reason for memory problems like memory error 12707 in COD Modern Warfare 3 could be insufficient virtual RAM space. To see if this is your case, you can try to increase the virtual memory to allow more RAM resources for the game to run. To do so:

1. In the Search box, type advanced system settings. Then click View advanced system settings from the list of results.
   
   
2. Under the Advanced tab, click Settings.
   
3. Select the Advanced tab and then click Change….
   
4. Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
   
5. Select your C drive and then tick Custom size.
   
6. Type in the values for Initial size and Maximum size. Then click OK to save the changes.
7. Microsoft recommends that the virtual memory you set is no less than 1.5 times and no more than 3 times the size of your RAM. To check RAM on Windows, follow the instructions below.

• On your keyboard, press Windows + R keys simultaneously to invoke the Run box.
• Type msinfo32.exe and press Enter.
  
  
• Scroll down and look for the Installed Physical Memory (RAM) entry.
  
  

1 GB (Gigabyte) = 1000 MB (Megabyte)

So in my case, the recommended initial size is: 8 GB * 1000 * 1.5 = 12000 MB

For the recommended maximum size, it will be: 8 GB * 1000 * 3 = 24000 MB

After increasing the page file size, try to launch COD Modern Warfare 3 again to see if the memory error 12707 remains. If so, please move on.

6. Add RAM stick(s)

If adding more virtual memory doesn’t help to fix the memory error 12707 for you, you may need to consider adding an extra RAM stick to your computer, so you can have more actual RAM space.

This is because COD Modern Warfare 3 asks for at least 8 GB of RAM, and Activision suggests 16 GB of RAM space when the game is running. So if your computer merely meets the requirements, problems like the memory error 12707 could be seen, together with other issues like game lagging or crashing.

If you’re not sure if your computer can have more RAM stick(s) installed, or if you’re not sure how to do it, please seek help from your computer or motherboard manufacturer to see if they can provide more support.

7. Repair system files

If you are facing persistent issues and none of the previous solutions have proven effective, it’s possible that your corrupted system files are to blame. To rectify this, repairing the system files becomes crucial. The System File Checker (SFC) tool can assist you in this process. By executing the “sfc /scannow” command, you can initiate a scan that identifies problems and repairs missing or corrupted system files. However, it is important to note that the SFC tool primarily focuses on scanning major files and may overlook minor issues.

In situations where the SFC tool falls short, a more powerful and specialized Windows repair tool is recommended. Fortect is an automated Windows repair tool that excels in identifying problematic files and replacing malfunctioning ones. By scanning your PC comprehensively, Fortect can provide a more comprehensive and effective solution for repairing your Windows system.

1. Download and install Fortect.
2. Open Fortect. It will run a free scan of your PC and give you a detailed report of your PC status.
   
3. Once finished, you’ll see a report showing all the issues. To fix all the issues automatically, click Start Repair (You’ll need to purchase the full version. It comes with a 60-day Money-Back Guarantee so you can refund anytime if Fortect doesn’t fix your problem).
