[2022] Game Broken After Recent Update

Okay so me and a few buddies had been playing this game on a regular basis until about a week ago when a 10gb update was required to be installed.

I install the update and launch the game, game makes it about 3 seconds into the launch process and crashes. Tried it about 7-8 times. I restarted the game, restarted battlenet and restarted my PC. None of that worked. A few days after that there was another 300mb update that seemingly fixes nothing.

I’m on Win11 and one of my buddies is on Win10 but we have the same issue.

Is anyone else having this problem? I don’t even know what the update was for and I was plenty happy playing the game as it was, kinda bummed I can’t play at all now.

Thanks for all the help guys. When I get home from work I’ll try the ol uninstall/reinstall or the method u/Hoshiko-Yoshida suggested.

I see this was your last post on this thread. Did you happen to get back up and running?

If you updated on Monday only to encounter black screens or crashes directly after launching, we investigated the issue with our partners and rolled out some solutions. The shortest explanation I can provide is that a recent update to Battle.net resulted in a case that would cause any updated Call of Duty encounter to experience these issues. A fix was rolled out by our Battle.net partners late on Tuesday, which should allow players to Scan/Repair to get back in-game.

This Trello card should help provide additional context too: https://trello.com/c/499uS7cj/272-pc-some-players-may-encounter-black-screens-or-crashes-when-launching-black-ops-cold-war
