Call of Duty Black Ops 3 crashes as soon as starting the game.

I bought COD Black Ops 3 on the Xbox app for pc 3 days ago, and decided to play it for the first time, but when starting the game, it immediately crashes, even when starting on safe mode, and unfortunately I cannot find a way to fix this, I saw that I should start the game offline, but even with offline permission enabled, I can't do it, I also saw that I should change the game language to spanish, then download the game again, it changed nothing.

Game version is 0.2.4.0, with both multiplayer and zombies chronicles pack downloaded.

Hi, Graysonfenix,

I totally understand how annoying it must be not being able to enjoy your games because of this error. Don’t worry, let see what we can do about it.

Let's first check for any pending updates on your PC.

Check recent version of the Xbox app

Microsoft Store app > Downloads > Get updates/Update all

Check for the most recent version of Windows, including optional updates

PC Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates > Install

Is this only happening to this specific game?

Here are things you can try and check.

1. Make sure your PC or laptop is located in a cool, well-ventilated area.

2. Check if your PC or laptop meets the minimum requirement of the game:

3. Close all applications that are running in the background.

4. Ensure your video drivers are up to date.

Activision Note: Third-party applications such as input remapping software, overlays, and recording software may interfere with gameplay or disrupt the game’s boot process, even if they’re not running when you boot or play the game. Try uninstalling these types of applications if you experience persistent game crashes.

If the issue persists, try this:

Open the Xbox app on PC > Call of Duty > ... > Manage > Files > Verify and Repair

If the above steps do not help, let's try the Gaming Services Repair Tool

In the Xbox app on PC, select your GamerTag in the top right corner > select Support > Select Gaming Services Repair Tool > Select Start repairing

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Thank you!

Wow? No one plays it, who cares any more? Several other call of duty games have been released since then.

Black ops, Modern Warfare 3, and Black Ops II. This game is sure to die soon.
