Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Mission cutscenes automatically play until the mission level is loaded, upon which a left click will allow skipping.

Delete video files^[2]

Go to <path-to-game>\video\.
Delete or move these files:

default.bik
default.webm
dolby.webm
frontend_load.webm
intro.webm
treyarch.webm

Notes

This will disable the game intro video which forms part of the campaign storyline. This can be kept by not deleting intro.webm.

Plutonium

An easy-to-install replacement launcher using dedicated servers for the game's online modes. Fixes the security vulnerabilities while also adding several enhancements:

A custom-built anticheat system
Aim Assist for controllers
Discord Rich Presence
Ultrawide monitor support
Support for custom camos
The ability to play with eight-players on all Zombies maps

Taken from the console version, the mod dubs Latin American Spanish audio over the English release audio. Titles and text are still presented in English.

It's highly recommended to backup the English language files before using this mod.

Some DLC maps do not have Latin American Spanish audio available, even with the mod.

Download the modded archives here.
Change the language of the game to English.
Paste the downloaded files over the existing language files.

Issues unresolved

Game refuses to start

This can occur on modern systems that has stopped working, setting up time and date to late game's release date may be fixed. To play this game, don't play with compatibility mode.

Issues fixed

TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.

FPS drop while zooming in

Frame rate drop while aiming down sights.

Set low Depth of Field^[9]

Set Depth of Field option to low without significant visual impact.

Notes

Additionally, Ambient Occlusion and FXAA can be turned off, which affect the speed when aiming down sights.

Mouse Lag

Significant mouse lag with Vsync enabled.

Use Borderless Windowed mode^{[citation needed]}
If there is mouse lag from vertical sync and screen tearing without it, selecting Borderless Windowed mode from the video options menu may solve the issue.

Error '57475' When Joining Game

Fixing 57475 error^{[citation needed]}

These steps should fix the error, but they reset all of the stats.

Using Cheat Engine or similar tools carry high risk of being banned by either Treyarch Anti Cheat or VAC.

Download a memory address editor (like Cheat Engine).
Run the game and go to barracks.
Use an editor to change the value of address 02e97ca4 (version 21.406.7) to 5.
Go to 'Prestige mode' and then click 'Prestige Awards'.
Select 'Fresh Start'. Stats should now be reset, and the error shouldn't come up anymore.

Issue with changing Language

Fixing Localization Problem^{[citation needed]}

This problem occurs after switching the game language. It crashes the game on startup with a message similiar to this one :
"Error during Intialization:

ERROR: sound Bank failed to load cmn_root.Englisch. You have a Build Problem."

Set the language of all three game parts (singleplayer, multiplayer and zombies) to the desired language and wait for Steam to finish downloading.

Zombies Leaderboard and Campaign Career Record crash

The game will crash whenever Career Record/Leaderboard (Campaign/Zombies) is accessed if there are more than 60 and less than 100 Steam friends.

Steam Offline mode or Firewall block^[10]
Set Steam in Offline Mode. Block `t6sp.exe` for the campaign and/or "t6zm" in the Firewall by creating a blocking rule for incoming and outgoing traffic. Achievements should work, but it won't be possible to play online or retrieve leaderboards.

Change number of friends^[11]
Delete friends until total number is under 60, or add more friends until total is over 100.

Unhandled Exception Caught

Verify^[12]
Verify local files for singleplayer and then multiplayer. Reset Steam.

Highest resolution not showing

Monitor may support 1920x1080, but highest available setting may be 1440x900 or 1680x1050.^[13]^[14]

Use borderless fullscreen windowed mode^[15]
Set the windowed mode to Windowed (Full Screen). Restart the game. The missing resolution will now be listed in-game.

Set Catalyst Control Center^[16]
Go to the Catalyst Control Center > My Digital Flat Panels > Properties (Digital Flat-Panel). Activate "Enable GPU scaling".

Black screen opens and closes on startup

Limit CPU cores for first game launch
Press "Win" + "R" and type "msconfig.exe" and press "OK" Under "Boot" go to "Advanced Options" and set "Number of Processors" to 1. Press "OK" and restart PC After successfully launching the game, this fix can be disabled.
