Problem solving. Call of Duty: Black Ops not starting? Game slows down? Flies out? Glitchy? Solving the most common problems Launching a black ops game


F.A.Q.
"The previous exit from the game was not performed correctly. Start in safe mode?
Recommended for most users. Safe mode does not affect control commands and buttons"

1) Change the date on your computer to 11/09/2010.
2) Download and extract the crack from SKIDROW to the game folder

When installing the game, it gives "Setup error: Error starting the installation script", what should I do?
- 1) Right-click on the setup.exe file, select Properties, then in the window that opens, select the Compatibility tab, check the box Run the program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and say OK and run setup.exe.
(Does not work for everyone)
2) Click "Start", and through "Run" (in 7ke it is "Search programs and files")
Enter there:
c:>program files>steam>steam.exe -install E: (instead of arrows, put a slash)
You can correct the command itself according to the situation (if the drive is not E, or the path to Steam is different)

I'm getting the "Not enough disk space" error, how can I solve it?
- The path to Steam" must not contain Cyrillic.

Crashes on startup with Microsoft C++ runtime error , what should I do?
- Need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable

Checkpoints are not saved. I have to start the level over, what should I do?
- We go into the campaign menu, exit it and go back in - the item "Continue" appears

How to enable subtitles in the Russian version of the game?
- No way

I have problems with the sound in the game, or rather the sound is beeping, what should I do?
- You need to update the sound drivers, update the K-Lite codeck pack, and most importantly in the mixer, lower the "Steam" and "System sounds" volume sliders to 0

- Update DirectX

I get an error "Direct3d Device 9" on startup, what should I do?
1) Completely remove the video driver.
2) Clean the registry (CCleaner).
3)Download and install the DirectX Web Installer.
4) Install the latest drivers for your video cards.

The game has started, but in the main menu a circle or two cursors (the game and the Windows cursor) rotate above the cursor, the game freezes, what should I do?
- If a single-core processor, then nothing, there is no solution yet.
- Who has multi-core processors, do the following:

Open the task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete), go to "processes".
Next, we find the Steam.exe process, right-click on it and select "set match" in the menu, set all processors ... And do this every time you start the game. So far there are no other solutions. Or do the same with CPU Control.

Constantly crashes "Critical error", what should I do?
- Go to the folder with the game Steam\SteamApps\common\call of duty black ops find the BlackOpsMP file > RMB > Properties > "Compatibility" tab check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" Windows XP (SP3) and check "Run this program as an administrator".
Now we go into the game, press tilde (~) and write / com_maxfps 125 in the console (should reduce the number of lags)

I reached the penultimate level, and at the end of the mission the character freezes stupidly, but the game itself does not, what should I do?
- Download the save with the completed game.
Let me remind you that this is the penultimate mission. After the character freezes, the following dialogue occurs:
"Mason, I know that you are not a traitor! I know that you are on our side! These numbers. You must solve them. Where does the signal come from?! Only you can help us, the war is about to begin! I twisted these numbers all the time that we held you so that you remember. Please, listen again" (Raises, leads to the monitors, Mason begins to listen). Flashbacks about Cuba pop up, The image of the ship that stood there on the pier - RUSALKA. Mason is blue: "Mermaid! That ship from the cube! The signal comes from it!".

I installed the game, I launch it, it gives out a "list of servers", it is empty, although it is written a little higher that there are about 3000 of them, what should I do?

1.Open the "Network and Sharing Center".
2. We go into the properties of our connection through which we enter the Internet.
3. Find the "access" tab and open it.
4. Click on "settings ...".
5. Find the line My WebPage and uncheck it.
6. Click on OK and agree with the changes.
7. Reconnect the Internet and go into the game.

To everyone who has i7 and i5, you don’t even have to write that everything is going great for you and nothing lags! the problem is observed only in one and two-core developers, because the Treyarkians of Chota messed up with the optimization of the general game rendering, the patch is already being made ...

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Elimination of brakes and lags
In this topic, I would like to collect a list of all known for the current
moment of fixes and fixes that can help you get the game
work faster, get rid of freezes and lags.

Elimination of brakes from graphics:
Obviously, Treyarch screwed up with porting the game to PC and it
manages to slow down where there is nothing to slow down in principle. This
the instruction should turn off all the troubles in the graphics and make the game
playable:
1. We are looking for game configuration files in steamappscommoncall
of duty black opsplayers (As an example, I have them in
C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommoncall of duty black
opplayers)
2. We save copies of config.cfg and config_mp.cfg somewhere in a reliable
place
3. Open config.cfg with notepad, at the very end we make a couple
line breaks and copy everything from here:

seta r_aaAlpha "dither (fast)"
seta r_aaSamples "1"
seta r_allow_intz "1"
seta r_allow_null_rt "1"

4. Save and do the same with config_mp.cfg
These settings reduce the graphics to the maximum possible, moreover, you
you can easily set high quality textures and the game will
look just great with good fps.
Verdict: Personally, it helped me a lot and now I can play both
company, and in zombies and multiplayer with bots

Elimination of freezes and brakes in the network game:
Disable unnecessary in multiplayer
1. In the game, open the console ("`" - tilde key, to the left
keys 1) and enter /demo_enabled 0 there
2. Close the console, go to the menu in Options-> Network
Game->Allow downloads set to "No".
This should make life easier for a network game, improve fps and make
much less hangups. These commands will disable loading content on
Treyarch servers and turn off replay recording
Verdict: My network game began to work faster and better and stopped
hang every minute

Additional elimination of brakes and freezes:
Give the game a higher priority in Windows.
1) After starting the game, open the task manager (alt + ctrl + del)
2) process BlackOps.exe (BlackOpsMP.exe for network) install
priority high or real time (in right click menu)
3) Set the Steam.exe process to a low priority.
Verdict: I didn't see any difference, but users on the steam forums
talking about improving the quality of work. Try at your own risk.

Additional config settings:
Both configuration files contain:
seta r_multiGpu "1"
seta r_multithreaded_device "0"
1) According to the principle from the first instruction, we are looking for and making copies of configs
2) Replace seta r_multiGpu "1" with seta r_multiGpu
"0" in both files (if you have 1 graphics card, not
some)
3) Replace seta r_multithreaded_device "0" with seta
r_multithreaded_device "1"
Verdict: I did not notice any difference, but other users note that
the game started to work better.

Sometimes there are errors at startup. Unpleasantly, the game you installed may not start, crashing, freezing, showing a black screen and giving errors in windows. Therefore, quite logical questions arise: “What to do?”, “Because of what is this happening?” and “How to solve the problem?”. We have tried to collect all the necessary information with instructions, tips, various programs and libraries that are designed to help solve the most common errors related to .

Essential software for Call of Duty: Black Ops

We strongly recommend that you read the links to various useful programs. What for? A huge number of errors and problems in Call of Duty: Black Ops are associated with uninstalled/updated drivers and lack of required libraries.

Low FPS, Call of Duty: Black Ops slows down, freezes or lags

Modern games are extremely resource-intensive, so even if you have a modern computer, it’s still better to disable unnecessary / unnecessary background processes (to increase processor power) and use the methods described below to help get rid of lags and brakes.

  • Launch the task manager and in the processes find the line with the name of the game (Call of Duty: Black Ops). Right click on it and choose from the menu "Priorities", then set the value "High". Now all that remains is to restart the game.

  • Remove everything superfluous from startup. To do this, all in the same task manager, you need to go to the tab, where you need to disable unnecessary processes at system startup. It is better not to touch unfamiliar applications if you do not know what they are responsible for, otherwise you risk spoiling the system startup.
  • We also recommend that in the settings related to power consumption, set "Maximum Performance". The same applies to the video card: you need to set the maximum performance in the graphics processor settings (this can be done in "Managing 3D Settings"), and in texture filtering select the option "Quality" .
  • If your Nvidia graphics card is no older than the GTX 10 series of GPUs, then it is quite possible to increase the frame rate by accelerating the graphics card. To implement the plan, again, you need to open "Control Panel" Video cards, go to the already familiar tab "Manage 3D Settings" and select the game in the list with programs, and then find "Vertical sync pulse" and click on it to set the parameter in the menu "Fast" .
  • You should delete temporary folders, unnecessary files and cache. On the Internet, you can find a bunch of different programs that help you do this. We recommend using BleachBit or CCleaner for this.
  • Defragment or optimize your hard drive. To do this, go to Hard Disk Properties tab Tools Defragment or Optimize. In addition, there you can check / clean up the disk, which in some cases helps.
  • In the end, switch to a simple design so that the computer is not loaded with resource-intensive effects. For example, you can safely disable the built-in debuggers, search indexing, and much more.
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops crashes at random or on startup


    Below are a few simple ways solutions to the problem, but you need to understand that crashes can be associated with both game errors and errors associated with something specific on the computer. Therefore, some cases of crashes are individual, which means that if no solution to the problem helped, you should write about it in the comments and, perhaps, we will help you deal with the problem.

    • First of all, try the simplest option - restart Call of Duty: Black Ops, but with administrator rights.

  • Be sure to check if Call of Duty: Black Ops has conflicts with other applications on your computer. For example, many players often swear at a utility called MSI Afterburner, therefore, if you use this or any other similar one, disable and try to start the game again.
  • It is possible that the game refuses to work adequately due to Windows Defender(aka "Defender") or because of the antivirus. So you should go to options and add .exe file running Call of Duty: Black Ops in the exceptions, or immediately disable the antivirus along with the Defender (they also could have deleted some vital file for the game that needs to be restored).
  • DLL file missing or DLL error


    To begin with, I should explain how errors related to DLL files generally occur: during the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops, it accesses certain DLL files, and if the game cannot find them, then it immediately crashes with an error. Moreover, the errors can be very different, depending on the lost file, but any of them will have the prefix "DLL" .

    To solve the problem, you need to find and return the missing DLL to the folder. And the easiest way to do this is using the DLL-fixer program specially created for such cases - it will scan your system and help you find the missing library. Of course, not every DLL error can be solved this way, so below we suggest that you familiarize yourself with more specific cases.

    Error d3dx9_43.dll, xinput1_2.dll, x3daudio1_7.dll, xrsound.dll, etc.

    All errors that can be seen in the title "d3dx" , "xinput" , "dxgi" , "d3dcompiler" and "x3daudio" are treated in the same way - use the DirectX executable libraries web installer.


    Error MSVCR120.dll, VCRUNTIME140.dll, runtime-x32.dll, etc.

    Name errors "MSVCR" or "RUNTIME" are treated by installing Microsoft Visual C ++ libraries (you can find out which library is needed in the system requirements).


    Getting rid of MSVCR140.dll / msvcr120.dll / MSVCR110.dll and other DLL errors once and for all

    Very often I began to notice that people cry about errors "the program cannot be started because MSVCR120.dll is missing on the computer." It meets...

    Common network errors

    Can't see friends/friends in Call of Duty: Black Ops are not showing up

    An unpleasant misunderstanding, and in some cases even a bug or error (in such cases, none of the methods below will help, since the problem is related to the servers). It is curious that many players are faced with this, and it does not matter in which launcher they have to play. We have not just noted that this is a “misunderstanding”, since, as a rule, the problem is solved in the simple ways described below:

    • Make sure that you and your friends are going to play in the same game region, the launcher is set to the same download region.

  • If the above method did not help, then it's time to clear the cache and run a file integrity check.
  • The most radical way to solve the problem is to completely reinstall the launcher. At the same time, be sure to delete all files associated with the launcher so that nothing remains on the computer.
  • Specifically for Steam, there is another very simple way to solve the problem: choose any section you like "Library" or "Community", then go to the open tab in "Steam" "View" "Friends" "Games" "Help". And then in the section with friends, in the drop-down menu, check the box next to the item "Online"(or rearrange the status but back to where you are online).
  • The server creator needs to open ports in the firewall

    Many problems in online games are related precisely to the fact that the ports are closed. There is not a single living soul, a friend does not see the game (or vice versa) and there are problems with the connection? It's time to open ports in the firewall, but before that, you should understand how "it" works. The fact is that programs and computer games that use the Internet require not only trouble-free access to the network, but also open ports in addition. This is especially important if you want to play some online game.

    Often the ports on the computer are closed, so they should be opened. In addition, before setting up, you need to find out the port numbers, and for this you first need to find out the IP address of the router.

    • Open a window with a command line (opened by the command cmd in start).
    • Write a command "ipconfig"(without quotes).
    • The IP address will be displayed in the line "Main gate" .


    • Open a command prompt with the command cmd in Start.
    • Re-type the command "ipconfig» without quotes.
    • Run the command "netstat -a", and then a complete list with port numbers will be displayed.


    • Be sure to make sure that you have Windows administrator rights.
    • You need to go to the firewall settings: "Start" "Control Panel" "Firewall". You can also use the keyboard shortcut Win+R, then in the window enter the command "firewall.cpl"(this method is better because it is relevant for any version of Windows, so if there is no button "Start", use it).
    • Go to tab "Advanced options" In the column on the left, select "Rules for eligible connections" In the column on the right, select "Create a rule" .
    • In the window that opens with the rule, select the one where it is written "For the Port", press "Further" .
    • In the next window, you need to decide on the protocol: 1 - "TCP" , 2 – UPD. Select an item in the box below. "Specific Local Ports" and enter your ports. If suddenly there are several ports, then you need to list them either using a comma, or specifying the range of these ports using a dash. press "Further" .
    • Now the little things: select "Allow connection" "Next" select connection profiles, "Next" specify a name for the newly created rule and if you want, you can add a description. It remains only to save all the changes and you're done.

    DirectX error in Call of Duty: Black Ops


    DirectX related errors may occur specifically when launching Call of Duty: Black Ops. Don't be surprised if one game works adequately while another throws an error. There are usually quite a lot of such errors, so we have collected the most common ones among users. So if you suddenly got a message DirectX Runtime Error , "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET" , "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG" or "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED", use the instructions below to resolve these errors.

    • First of all, you need to install a “clean” version of your video card driver (that is, you should not immediately rush to install the same GeForce Experience, nothing extra from AMD and audio).

  • If you have a second monitor, try turning it off and also turn off G-Sync and any other kind of add-on/auxiliaries.
  • Use the System File Checker to repair corrupted or missing system files.
  • If you are using an Nvidia graphics card, then try enabling "Debug Mode" in the video card control panel.
  • Often the cause of the error is an overheated video card, so we recommend using the FurMark program to check its performance. If this turned out to be true, then you should lower the frequency of the video card.
  • If you suddenly encounter other errors, then we recommend reinstalling DirectX, but before that, it’s better to uninstall the old version just in case (be sure to delete all files in the folder before reinstalling, starting with "d3dx9_24.dll" and ending "d3dx9_43.dll").
  • Error 0xc000007b in Call of Duty: Black Ops


    At worst error 0xc000007b or "This application was unable to start correctly" associated with corrupted OS system files, and at best, with Nvidia video card drivers.

    Common ways to solve the problem:

    • The most obvious and easiest way to deal with the error is to reinstall the drivers for the video card, and then run the game as an administrator.

  • Next, try updating or installing the .Net Framework, DirectX, and Visual C++.
  • Alternatively, use the command line ("Start" "Run"), where you need to write the command "sfc / scannow" (the system will scan everything and, if possible, try to replace damaged files if cached copies exist).
  • And finally, you should try to remove software that conflicts with the video driver. Usually such extra software includes programs that improve graphics.
  • The second way is the free program Dependency Walker 64bit:

    • After installing Dependency Walker 64bit, run the utility and go to the following address: "View" "Full Patch" ".exe file of the problematic game"(in some cases, an error window appears after this, but you should not pay attention to it, just close the window). Switch to section module, scroll to the end of the error, look at the values ​​in the columns.

  • The CPU column includes all DLLs, they must all be 64-bit for the video game. Therefore, if you notice a DLL file with x86 architecture in the red column of the CPU column, then this means that it is because of this file that the error 0xc000007b occurs.
  • As soon as the problematic file is found, it remains to go to the official website dll-files.com and download the 64-bit version of the DLL file there. Find, download, put it in a folder C:\Windows\system32 and to the Call of Duty: Black Ops root folder, after which you check the performance.
  • "Not enough memory" error

    There is an error associated with a lack of memory, for almost a dozen reasons. Of course, the most common ones are either a lack of hardware RAM or a small swap file size. In the latter case, even if you configured nothing, third-party software or a banal disabling of the swap file could easily ruin everything.

    • You should try to increase the swap file ( "Start" "System Settings" in the line at the top, enter "Performance" select "Tune system view and performance" "Advanced" "Change" uncheck the "Automatically select ..." select the size).

  • It is possible that a certain program, or even several, is causing a memory leak or a virus has started. To check and possibly solve the problem, open the task manager, after which you need to sort everything that is by memory consumption.
  • Sound in Call of Duty: Black Ops is missing or disappears in cutscenes

    Most often, the problem is associated with high sound resolution in Windows settings, namely, with the bit depth and sampling rate. Therefore, there is only one way to get rid of the problem - to lower this resolution.


    • In the tray, right-click on the speaker icon;
    • In the menu that opens, select the item "Sounds" ;
    • Next, you need to select the device (it can be either speakers or headphones) and click on "Properties" ;
    • Go to next tab "Additionally" ;
    • Find the menu called "Default Format" to set the value, but it must be lower than the current one;
    • Click "Apply", open Call of Duty: Black Ops and check the result of the work done.

    The problem that is associated with the lack of sound in the screensavers cannot be solved in the first way, so do the following:

    • Again in the tray RMB on the speaker icon;
    • In the menu, look for a function called "Spatial Sound" to disable;
    • It remains only to restart Call of Duty: Black Ops and check the result.

    And most importantly, do not forget to determine exactly where the sound is missing - everywhere on the computer or just in the game. There are other unlikely, but quite possible reasons for the lack of sound: the sound card is too old, so it does not support DirectX; incorrect settings; incorrectly installed sound card drivers or some specific error in the operating system. In such cases, be sure to write in the comments, and we will try to help fix the errors!

    Black screen appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops

    The appearance of a black screen is often associated with a conflict between video drivers and software. And least of all with certain Call of Duty: Black Ops files. However, there are quite a few other reasons associated with the appearance of the “black screen of death”.

    The first step when a problem occurs is to update the video driver. Many people neglect this completely, but we strongly recommend doing this, because for many modern games, important updates follow, which help to run this or that game.

    • Drivers installed/updated but Call of Duty: Black Ops still refuses to work properly? Then you need to check the software, are the necessary libraries installed at all? First of all, check for the presence of libraries Microsoft Visual C++ and .net framework, as well as the presence of "fresh" DirectX .

  • If none of the above gave the desired result, then it's time to resort to a radical solution to the problem: launch Call of Duty: Black Ops and when a black screen appears, press the Alt + Enter key combination to switch the game to windowed mode. So, perhaps, the main menu of the game will open and it will be possible to determine the problem in the game or not. If you managed to switch to windowed mode, then go to the Call of Duty: Black Ops game settings and change the resolution (it often turns out that the discrepancy between the resolution of the game and the desktop leads to a conflict due to which a black screen appears).
  • The cause of this error can also be various programs designed to capture video and other applications related to video effects. And the reason is simple - there are conflicts.
  • And finally - the problem, most likely, can be related to the technical component of the hardware. The video adapter can overheat, as well as the bridges on the motherboard, which entails reduced power consumption of the video card. We will not go into detailed technical details, so we simply recommend that you clean your machine from dust and change the thermal paste as well!
  • Color screen appears

    The appearance of a colorful screen is often associated with the fact that two video cards are used at once. If the motherboard has an integrated GPU, but you play on a discrete one, the game will run on the integrated one anyway. Therefore, there are "color" problems, since the monitor is connected by default to a discrete video card.

    No less often, a color screen appears if there are problems with the image output. This causes a variety of reasons, but there are two most common: 1 - there are outdated drivers; 2 - Your graphics card is not supported. Therefore, we recommend updating the drivers first.

    Image in Call of Duty: Black Ops flickers

    As a rule, the problem is related to an overheated video card. The first step is to check the wires, they suddenly blocked the fans of the cooling system, but if there is complete order, then it's time to reset the overclocking of the video card: you need to enter the application MSI Afterburner(or similar) and click on "Reset" .

    Mouse, keyboard or controller not working

    Most often, if such problems arise, then strictly on the side of the player. In the process of connecting a new device, the OS instantly tries to install the necessary driver package, but the problem is that it is standard, which means it will not be compatible with every device, so check for the necessary drivers. In addition, viruses can affect management, so be sure to check the system.


    And finally, as an option, you should try to remove all USB devices registered by the computer. You can not touch only the software that is associated with the main devices (gamepad, keyboard, mouse, wireless adapter), after which be sure to restart the computer. It is possible that a conflict has occurred and because of this the control does not work.

    If you have a pirated version of Call of Duty and it doesn't work, try resetting the date on your PC to November 9th. Oddly enough, but for some reason it helps.

    If you are playing through Steam, then you may be using an outdated version of the game. Wait for the release of a new patch for the game and then, after its release, patch it.

    There may also be problems with the game files. To fix it, go to steam, then hover over the game and right-click on it. After that, in the properties you need to select local files / check the integrity of the cache. The verification of the game files will start, after which all errors in the files will be automatically corrected.

    What to do if nothing helped?

    You need to do some work with your system. We propose to do this with the help of two useful programs.

    1. Update drivers with Driver Booster. This is really cool software that often helps. Updating old drivers to new ones is one of the key requirements for the normal functioning of games and programs on a computer.

    You might think that Windows always notifies users when new updates are available. So it is, it shows alerts, but only for updates for Windows and the video card. But besides this, there are many more drivers that need to be updated regularly.

    Call of Duty Black Ops fans are facing an annoying situation when after installation, the game won't launch. Or errors appear during the installation process. Let's figure out what the reason is and fix the problem. The methods outlined in the article are not only suitable for Call of Duty Black Ops. If not enough, the problem remains unresolved, read other materials on the site.

    Call of Duty Black Ops won't install

    If Call of Duty Black Ops won't install, see if you have enough free space on your hard drive. The distribution requires free space, so a few gigabytes of extra space won't hurt. Many modern games require a significant volume.

    Installing Call of Duty Black Ops is blocked by antivirus

    Often, antivirus programs, in the fight against viruses, protecting our computer from external threats, for security purposes, block numerous processes performed by the operating system. Sometimes such security is so strong that the antivirus blocks access not only to viruses, but also suspends some normal processes, perhaps by mistake, considering them potentially vulnerable. Disable your antivirus during installation.

    Cleaning the computer and restarting

    Sometimes, a simple reboot of the system can immediately solve many problems that arise both during the installation of games and their subsequent work. The same applies to programs and applications. There are many reasons: the computer is clogged with garbage, the system cache is full, the maximum allowable number of simultaneously running processes, some may be frozen and not running, but they put a load on the system. Cleaning the computer and restarting will fix the situation.

    No Internet access

    Some game clients during the installation process require an Internet connection, providing access to the installation server or update server. Make sure the connection is good, and if there is no Internet, be prepared for problems when installing Call of Duty Black Ops. Well, if the system gives an error message. And if there is none, you can think for a long time and wonder why the toy is not installed.

    Call of Duty Black Ops won't launch

    Before looking for the reasons why Call of Duty Black Ops won't start, make sure that the installation itself was successful. Otherwise, if there were failures during the installation process, but at the same time the game was installed, it is impossible to guarantee the subsequent launch and performance. If it starts - lucky. What will happen next is unknown. Remember the installation process.

    Reinstalling the game

    Many gamers have repeatedly encountered a situation where they had to reinstall games. Apparently, this is the case where reinstalling Call of Duty Black Ops will fix the issue. It is not known what this is connected with, maybe the antivirus or firewall "ate" some files or something else at the time of installation, but after installing the game again, it starts and works. Uninstall Call of Duty Black Ops and reinstall, paying attention to every detail during this process. Perhaps at some point the program will ask for additional files, etc.

    There are times when installing on top of an already installed game solves the situation. The installer may offer to update the files. Thus, there is no need for removal. Well, something like this.

    Finding information by error text

    Another option. Problems when starting Call of Duty Black Ops are usually accompanied by a corresponding system message. Specify the text of the error in the search, as a result of which you will receive the most detailed answer, and, moreover, regarding this particular problem. Actually, the decision will not keep you waiting. This way you can pinpoint the cause and fix the problem.

    By the way, for some reason I always forget about it. Until I turn over the whole computer. But this the method works for all 92%. It is enough just to score the text in the search and find a useful article. So you will definitely solve the problem, you do not need to send the PC to the workshop ahead of time and incur additional costs. There is a lot of useful material on the Internet - study it.

    Running Call of Duty Black Ops as Administrator

    Run the game as an administrator. In our case, to run Call of Duty Black Ops as an administrator, you need to right-click on the game's shortcut and select Run as administrator. Subsequently, if this method solves the problem, make it the default. Open the Shortcut Properties, in the Compatibility tab, and check the box Run this program as an administrator.

    Call of Duty Black Ops is not compatible with the system

    Another obstacle to running Call of Duty Black Ops can be incompatibility with your operating system. In this case, all in the same place, in the Properties of the shortcut, add the checkbox Run the program in compatibility mode, select the desired OS from the drop-down list.

    .NET Framework not installed

    A very serious problem with launching Call of Duty Black Ops is the lack of an installed .NET Framework library on the computer, which ensures the launch and maintains the performance of programs and applications, including games. This is a prerequisite and Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed on your PC.

    There are different versions of the .NET Framework. The presence of any one of them on the computer cannot sufficiently guarantee the correct operation of the program. If, for example, the library is already installed on the computer, but the game requires it, download and install it. Restart your PC. The previous version will not be deleted or overwritten. They will just work together.


    Use programs that will prepare your computer for the correct operation of the game, help to avoid many problems and errors.

    Operating system Software
    Windows XP/7/8/10
    Windows XP/7/8/10
    Windows XP/7/8/10

    Availability of DirectX

    Perhaps the most important condition, a requirement that must be met for games, including Call of Duty Black Ops, is the presence of an installed . No toy will work without it. Almost all distributions that require DirectX installed already have this set in their composition.

    As a rule, DirectX is installed automatically during installation. If it is not in the distribution, download and install. It is not necessary to do this before installation, it is possible after, but the presence on the computer is simply necessary. Download links are located above.

    What to do if Call of Duty Black Ops is not working?

    Do not despair if you have already gone through all the ways and nothing helps, the game does not work. Perhaps these tips will seem too vague, incomprehensible, errors are still present. Check again, did you do everything right? If necessary, download another distribution of Call of Duty Black Ops, if purchased in a store, contact the seller (manufacturer) for help. Maybe the disk is corrupted, something is missing. It's normal, quite natural, it happens. Use a different distribution and install the game again.

    As a last resort, there are situations when the operating system is still incompatible with Call of Duty Black Ops. Update the system using Windows tools (via Update Center). The game will work. If the manufacturer indicated compatibility, then he is responsible for this. Update your operating system.

    Reinstalling the OS is a last resort. Not sure about statements like "the operating system is pirated... assembly... won't work..." or "a hacked, pirated toy - throw it away ...". The moment that is worth your attention is to remember if there were similar problems with other games, in particular those similar to Call of Duty Black Ops. And if problems were observed, this suggests that it may be time to update something in the system or reinstall. Thank you for attention!
