Issue with Razer Synapse Profile Auto-Switching in COD MW3 2023

Hi there,

I'm experiencing an issue with my Razer Synapse profile auto-switching in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023). Initially, everything works fine – the profile switches automatically upon game launch. However, if I minimize or tab out of the game, the profile switches back to my default (previous) profile. The real problem arises when I tab back into the game; the profile doesn't switch back to the MW3 setup.

I did some digging and noticed that the game linking seems to be part of the issue. When I link COD.exe in Razer Synapse, it appears correctly, but upon launching the game, the .exe file changes to cod-22.exe. This suggests there might be an issue with how Call of Duty Headquarters (COD HQ) is configured, affecting the profile switching.

I'm reaching out to see if others are facing the same problem and to raise awareness of this issue. Hoping for a fix from Razer soon, as it affects the gaming experience significantly.

Thank you!

Hasn’t been working for me for a couple of weeks now.  Have to force the profile to COD.

Same here. It operates from C:\Program Files (x86)\Call of Duty\_retail_\cod.exe which is not supported by synapse 3. Old link from previous title doesn’t work anymore.

Sorry what?

cod-22 seems to be an application of MW2.  Also, sp22 and sp23 are campaigns for MW2 and MW3 respectively.  During the MW3 beta test period, this problem did not occur because MW2 and MW3 were recognized by Synapse as separate applications.  Sent by a Japanese person from Google Translate.

Is there any solution to this yet? I'm also experiencing this.

Not that I know of, other than manually switching to the profile u want while playing or just dont tab out of the game once you are in.

Nice to see that Razer is doing something about that :(

Money paid so not their problem any more.

The same here. Need manually change the profile which is very uncomfortable.

Same here. Only reason I buy Razer peripherals and now that doesn’t work. Looking for alternatives.

Brand new Huntsman V2 Analog and Deathadder V2 chroma.

I have the same issue - RAZER please work on a fix

Just adding another comment that this is broken. Not sure it will affect Razer’s decision or ability to solve it; however, thought I would just add to the chorus that this is not a one-off issue. The application is simply broken with regard to Modern Warfare 3 and automatic profile switching. (no doubt part of it is the silly COD HQ thing but...)

Experiencing the same thing.

Disappointing when you buy such expensive peripherals.

I had a Razer mouse way back in the day and loved it but hated synapse, didnt get another razer product for like 6 years until I thought id give it a second chance (Thinking no way its still broken right?) Wrong! Might be worse now. Only works without issues about 10% of the time MAYBE if you open in admin,,, and you google the issues and theres posts explaining the same bugs that are years old,,, This ones only four months ATM but I could bet someone will be reading this 8 months from now still with no fix! I have the keyboard too and the play/pause button only works 50% of the time and theres no fix still (software problem...Ovbs)

Worked with all the other CODs (not flawless…Ovbs, but at least you could link the .exe files into synapse

How is this still an issue on all three versions of Synapse (including the beta)? Apparently CoD can’t be added to Synapse after removing it, either. It doesn’t matter which exe you try. I removed the default entry because it obviously doesn’t work, and then discovered that it can’t be added again lmao. Come on, Team Green. What is going on? I get that it’s a bootstrapping issue, but it really should be quite easy to solve..
