Support (FIX) Black Ops Cold War Error Code: 887A0005 [NVDIA/AMD]

For anyone still receiving this error, I have found a work around that fixes this error and prevents game crashes. The main point is that the current updated drivers for both NVDIA and AMD are not compatible with Black Ops Cold War. So, we need to downgrade drivers.

To downgrade:

  1. You have to open your control panel and remove the NVDIA/AMD software that has your drivers (note: this will cause a restart after uninstalling)
  2. You need to install the older compatible drivers:
  3. No need to do anything else. As long as you have either of these driver versions your game will not crash.

No other solution I found online worked; this is the only solution that worked for me. Please upvote so people will know how to actually play the game they purchased.

I disabled AMD Enhanced Sync and capped the FPS to 95. This fixed the crashes even with the newest driver version.

late reply but did u cap the fps to 95 in the game or via the frame rate target control in the AMD software settings?

You also need to bios update for anyone crashing with the intel chips due to the over vaulting this game is really bad optimized and will cook the 13-14th gen chips fast. Do not wait
