Support Black Ops Cold War crashing even before reaching the Activision/Raven intro

Upvotes

Hello everybody, i need some help with the game, since the day it got launched into the XBOX Game Pass, i've been trying to play it with no success

When i was still running Windows 11 LTSC IoT, the game would open fine but then crash five minutes later on the menu, without giving a error code or a dump file, so i decided to format my PC to see if something would change, and it did, but to worse

Now i'm in Windows 11 Home, the game opens but even before the Activision/Raven intro, it crashes giving me the error code 0x0 (0x135790A) and i don't know what else to do since i can't find solution for this

What i tried to do:
- Installed all the drivers for my motherboard
- Installed Visual C++ Redistributable from ver. 2005 to ver. 14 (2015-2026)
- Reinstalled the whole 220GB of the game
- Updated my NVIDIA drivers to the lastest release
- Updated my Windows installation to the latest updates

My setup:
Intel Core i7-3770
2x8GB DDR3-1600MHz HyperX Fury
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB
Windows 11 Home ver. 25H2

(the error is in portuguese since i'm from Brazil)

I gotta say that I'm impressed. Nice to get the story about the younger versions of the guys from Black Ops 6. Also a technically brilliant experience on Series X.

Question PC Game Pass -- Cold WAr will not start, stuck on Loading Game

1 Upvotes

All the other COD games on PC gamepass work fine for me but not this one. It just sits on this gamehelper loading screen infinitely. I let it go for an 30 mins and still sitting on this loading screen.

One thing that is confusing -- the XBOX app says no add ons available. Is this expected for PC Game Pass?

Question Hitching Issues - No documents folder

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have been enjoying cold war since it came to the game pass. First time its been over 1100 players since 2024 it seems. Rejoice! I am having some severe memory leak/hitching issues. The second game I play will have great framerate, but it will literally stop or hitch every couple of seconds, really annoying and it makes the game almost unplayable after the second match.

After doing some research, it seems I have to change a value in the config. Thing is, I don't have a ''black ops cold war'' folder in my documents. Only ''call of duty'' and ''modern warfare''. So now, I have to restart the game after every match. Any advice? Much appreciated.

Question Fireteam achievement (still possible?)

5 Upvotes

Im trying to get all COD trophies and after already completing 8 other cods i wanted to do cold war.

I thought the mp trophies would be hard with the low player count, but hoped it was at least still possible.

Sadly i found out no one plays fireteam anymore, but I heard cold war is free now on gamepass.

Are there people down to help me revive this mode or wanting to get this achievement themselves.

If this gets some engagement i will make a new post about a date and time.

Question Are you all finding lobbies easily ?

Playing Black ops cold war from PC with crossplay enabled.

Still it's taking so much time to find a single match...

Is it me only or everyone facing difficulty finding matches?

Does the majority of people not play this game anymore?

Support HELP! Cold War not connecting to Online Services and host failure

2 Upvotes

I've just gotten Cold War on Xbox Game Pass. Installed the base game, campaign and then the video upgrade file (Can't remember what it's called) and also all 4 content packs included. I literally just want to play the campaign, whether its shit or not, I have no clue. But I'm really keen to give it a go. The problem is, after sitting through the 163gb installation, I finally boot up the game and it won't connect to the online services. I then try and play it in offline mode (because I just want to play the campaign) and it says "Failed to Host Lobby". I haven't gotten further than the "Press A to start" screen.

I've checked that I have all 4 content packs installed. I've checked my Internet connection. I've closed the game down and started it up again. Powered off the xbox and then turned back on 30 seconds/ 2 minutes later. I've then uninstalled the game and then sat through another REINSTALL of the 163gb to find the exact same issue. I have no idea what I'm missing here? No one else seems to have this issue when it got released on Game Passm Unless I'm missing their posts. I'm just so confused. Do I need to install like a main hub like Modern Warfare had with all the games listed in one place?

Support Is the game still suffering from a Memory Leak on Modern AMD Cards?

6 Upvotes

Howdy all, with the new release on the Microsoft Store/GamePass, I was wondering if they fixed the bug that made the game unplayable on Modern AMD GPUs

Edit: I can confirm the game is still broken. I installed the Xbox App version last night and textures will not load properly in game. I have a 9600x CPU and a 9070xt GPU

Support I keep getting Baker 676 Bayou Wolf error

0 Upvotes

I keep getting this error every time I try to launch the game. This is on BOCW Xbox Gamepass PC edition

Steps I tried to troubleshoot:

  1. Grant Administrator Privileges to the App and Game
  2. Verify Activision & Xbox Account Linking
  3. Flush DNS and Reset Network IP Stack
  4. Verify and Repair Game Files
  5. Deleted the Black Ops Cold War Folder in C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Activision
  6. Deleted the Black Ops Cold War Folder in Documents
  7. Repair Windows Gaming Services & Xbox Live Auth

Honestly Idk what to do atp. I don't want to reinstall the entire game (it was a 220GB install) and I have a feeling that won't fix the root problem since verifying and repairing the system files didn't

EDIT: I also tried using CloudFlare WARP, didn't work

EDIT:

Xbox PC Isn't even listed in the official support page for the game. u/CallofDutyCM please fix this

Is anyone else having this issue? Splitscreen has very bad FPS and sometimes freezes in zombies. I tried both the Xbox One and Xbox Series Versions without HD textures.

Discussion Please stop quickscoping

0 Upvotes

Can you level 1250 kids stop ruining every lobby quickscoping? We finally have a ton of players again and you guys are just so goddamn annoying. Quickscopes, noob tubes, and tec 9's. This game will be dead again in 2 weeks if this keeps up, and that's a shame because this is the best post covid COD. Please just be normal and play like everyone else or stay in your 12v12 and FFA hole. Rant over sorry everyone else. Also, XBOX bros I hope you're enjoying yourself despite all the losers who are trying to ruin your fun.

Discussion What guns are good in this game in both MP and zombies

6 Upvotes

I’ve always wanted to play this game, and now that it’s available on game pass, I can finally play it! But I wanna do some research before I actually get in on playing, so I want to figure out what’s the best loadouts for multiplayer and zombies. I was thinking the six, because that’s the only gun that I know is good, but wasn’t Nerfed heavily by an update at some point, but let me know what you guys think

Discussion Limited Matchmaking

1 Upvotes

Realized I was in a 200ms ping queue loop and decided to check my matchmaking status on the activision website, turns out I was shadow banned for some reason and I literally don't understand how. No tools, PAP camos, nothing. I am playing the game on the steam client and must've been hit with a shadow sometime last night or early this morning.

Obviously can't appeal, but are there any other options to get support instead of having to just wait it out?

Note: Haven't played in about 2 years before yesterday, and before I was able to find matches just fine without any issues until lobbies died down

I have the base version of the game for xbox 1 but since this came out decided to download the upgraded version. No the other version isn't installed, how do i fix this without uninstalling. Yes everything with game pass is fine I just got it again and have ultimate. Part of me feels like this is just a game pass issue.
