How to fix the "No DXGI adapter found" error for Modern Warfare 2

To fix the error, you don't have to do anything as an Nvidia user other than update your graphics driver. What sounds like a joke has actually been the simplest solution for most users -- including us! If that doesn't work, or if you are an AMD user, follow these steps:

1. fix Modern Warfare 2 in an unusual way

• Start the Battle Net launcher and select Modern Warfare 2 in your library.
• Next to the "Play" button you will find a gear.
• Click on it and select "Scan & Repair".

Okay, now it gets unusual as promised: Wait until your scan has reached about 10% and then simply cancel it. If you start Modern Warfare 2 now, you will have to download shader files again. This should not be a problem, do it! Once that is done, you should not get the "No DXGI adapter found" error again.
