How To Fix Black Ops Cold War Fatal Error
Below are a few steps you can follow to get rid of the problem:
Fix Your Internet Connection
One of the errors given above is related to a problematic internet connection. Make sure your connection is working fine, you can perform a check by typing “ping google.com -t” in your run command box. If the connection is not stable, try switching to a wired connection.
Change Windows Language
Some user on Reddit had posted that changing their default Windows Language fixed the issue for them. Just set your operating system language to Windows (United States) and Voila.
In case you are already running your OS in English, then you can switch to English (United Kingdom). After doing that, log out and log-in.
Update Device Drivers
Whenever a new game makes it’s arrival, especially when it’s a AAA title, Nvidia is known for pushing their optimized updates for the best performance with their graphic cards. I am not sure about AMD because I’ve never used an AMD card. Below are the links for downloading the latest drivers.
Since this is a AAA title, I am sure Nvidia will be pushing an update with compatibility for this game. Make sure to keep an eye on your device driver updates.
Update Windows
The recent couple updates were weird and broke a lot of games, to fix those issues, Windows has already pushed out hotfixes and you can download them right away. If you are running an older version of Windows, I’d recommend you to download the updated version.
There was also an update that caused windows to use up a lot of RAM for its search bar’s function called Cortana. This also has been fixed, you just have to update.
The tweaks given above should be able to fix your issue, but if for some reason you are still having problems head here and report it to the devs.
