Unfortunately, games have flaws: stutters, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so minor errors. Often problems begin even before the game starts, when it does not install, does not load, or does not even download. And the computer itself sometimes does weird things, and then in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 instead of a picture there is a black screen, the controls do not work, there is no sound or anything else.

What to do first

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download via direct link) - this is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers on the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
3. Install Advanced System Optimizer(download via direct link) and include it in it game mode, which will end useless background processes while running games and improve in-game performance.

Black Ops 2 System Requirements

The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with Black Ops 2 is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this before purchasing, so as not to regret the money spent.

Minimum system Call requirements of Duty: Black Ops 2:

Windows Vista, Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6 Ghz, 2 Gb RAM, 16 Gb HDD, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT Video memory: 512 Mb

Every gamer should at least have a little understanding of components, know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in the system unit.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.

You should start with the drivers for your video card. Modern graphics cards are manufactured by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product drives the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the latest driver package:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Black Ops 2 is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to download easily and quickly latest versions drivers and install them with one click:

If Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or putting the game in antivirus exceptions, and also check compliance again system requirements and if something from your assembly does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.

Black Ops 2 has black screen, white screen, color screen. Solution

Problems with screens of different colors can be divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they often involve using two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then Black Ops 2 may launch for the first time on the built-in one, but you won’t see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens occur when there are problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Black Ops 2 cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support the video card. Also, a black/white screen may appear when working at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 crashes. At a specific or random moment. Solution

You play for yourself, play and then - bam! - everything goes out, and now in front of you is a desktop without any hint of a game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, you should try to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If the departure occurs in random moment time without any pattern, then with a 99% probability we can say that this is a mistake in the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and the best thing to do is just put Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download a Black Ops 2 save and bypass the departure location.

Black Ops 2 freezes. The picture freezes. Solution

The situation is approximately the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to the developer’s mistake when creating it. However, often a frozen picture can become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 freezes, then use programs to display statistics on component loading. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If you wish, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Black Ops 2 picture.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. For processors it is slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use a driver or an official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and check whether the operating temperature decreases.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is slow. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution

If there are slowdowns and low frame rates in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, the first thing to do is lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are many of them, so before reducing everything, it’s worth finding out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the game picture. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so you should reduce the screen resolution only as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of the texture files. The texture quality should be reduced if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old hard drive with a spindle speed of less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just detailing). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power from the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means this parameter should be reduced on video cards with low core or memory frequencies.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time at every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full rendering and add pre-rendered shadows to the game. They are static, because essentially they are just textures overlaid on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the video card core.

Often developers add additional settings related to shadows:

• Shadow Resolution - Determines how detailed the shadow cast by an object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, it loads the video card core, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
• Soft shadows - smooths out unevenness in the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. Allows you to get rid of ugly corners on the edges of objects through the use of a special algorithm, the essence of which usually comes down to generating several images at once and comparing them, calculating the most “smooth” picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in their level of impact on the performance of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4 or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4 or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms like FXAA and TAA work a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Thanks to this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use video card resources, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on “green” ones. HDAO, on the contrary, is optimized for video cards from AMD. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so if it’s slow in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, it’s worth switching to it.

What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to take the most work, so it's best to start there.

Gamers often have to optimize Black Ops 2 themselves. For almost all major releases, there are various relevant forums where users share their ways to improve performance.

One of them is a special program called Advanced System Optimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean their computer of various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. Advanced System Optimizer does this for you and also analyzes your computer to find ways to improve performance in apps and games.

Black Ops 2 lags. Large delay when playing. Solution

Many people confuse “brakes” with “lags,” but these problems have completely different causes. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay in accessing the server or any other host is too high.

That is why “lags” can only occur in online games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter happens least often. In online games, communication between client and server occurs through the exchange of relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough.

There is no sound in Black Ops 2. I can't hear anything. Solution

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 works, but for some reason does not sound - this is another problem that gamers are facing. Of course, you can play like this, but it’s still better to figure out what’s going on.

First you need to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or even on the computer? If only in a game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the problem is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are installed incorrectly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error in our beloved Windows OS.

Controls are not working in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Black Ops 2 does not recognize mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? Problems with supporting specific devices are inappropriate here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded; the problem is almost always on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to contact the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice and gamepads are incompatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find its driver. Devices from well-known gaming brands often come with their own software packages, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to search for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you only need to wait for the scan results and download necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often, slowdowns in Black Ops 2 can be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can scan your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32. The antivirus has proven itself with best side and have been approved by millions of users around the world.

ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small businesses, capable of protecting your computer with operating system Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats. New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to security development. Versions of antivirus programs are available on the developer’s website for both PCs and mobile devices, a 30-day trial is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 downloaded from a torrent does not work. Solution

If the game distribution was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of operation. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the process of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games, which are often used to verify the license.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files in them have been changed. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify the EXE file. At the same time, no one knows what else they do with it. Perhaps they embed self-executing software. For example, when the game is first launched, it will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees here and cannot be.

In addition, the use of pirated versions is, in the opinion of our publication, theft. The developers spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their brainchild would pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if any problems arise with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using one or another means, you should immediately remove the pirated version, clean your computer with an antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only protect you from dubious software, but will also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

(game) gives an error about the missing DLL file. Solution

As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLLs arise during game startup, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs during the process and, not finding them, crash in the most blatant manner.

To fix this error, you need to find the required DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is using the program DLL-fixer, which scans the system and helps quickly find missing libraries.

Thank you for your attention!

2. Run Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 as administrator

3. Check if the game files are intact. To do this, in Steam, check the integrity of the cache in the game properties, and for pirate owners, make sure that the antivirus program has not quarantined part of the crack, as is often the case. If you have Windows 8.1, remember that it has a built-in antivirus.

4. You must run the game on a video card that supports DirectX 10 and be aware that the game is not designed for Windows XP.

ATTENTION!!!

To run Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, install the 3DM crack!!! Crack link below:

This crack allows you to launch and play Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 normally, fixes freezes in the game and makes gameplay much more stable. Now no other solutions are needed!!!

Installing a crack

2. Unpack the downloaded archive and place the replacement files from the archive in the game folder.

3. Launch the game and enjoy.

I found a small FAQ, maybe it will help someone, if there are any other solutions to problems, I’ll add them.
I personally had a crash on the screensaver at the beginning of the second mission where you are flying in a helicopter, updating the firewood helped, now everything is fine.

The Black Ops 2 FAQ is a visual list of frequently asked questions related to Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and answers to them.

Q: I bought a license, everything was successfully activated and downloaded, but I can’t launch it!
I have Windows XP.

A: Your OS must be at least Vista or Windows 7. XP is not supported!

Q: I bought the game on Steam/pre-order, etc. In general, I didn’t buy the disc in the store, but I have a litsukha. Why is there no Russian language?

A: Those who purchased and pre-ordered the game on Steam - in Russia and the CIS countries - will not be able to play in Russian! (English, French, Italian, German and Spanish only) - >

If there are ways to Russify such a game, the FAQ will be updated.

Q: After startup it crashes with the following error: Error during initialization:couldn"t load default asset "fonts/720/consolefont" for asset type 'font'. Tried to load asset "fonts/720/consoleFont"

A: This problem is related to language. Set the Russian language in the single player and multiplayer properties via Steam and everything will be normal. (Properties - Language - Russian)

Q: License. When I start it says “This game is currently unavailable. Please try again later.” I tried waiting, it didn't help. What to do?

A: Possible solution:
The path to Steam should not contain Cyrillic (i.e. Russian letters).
For example:

Q: I have a license. The game starts, but after a few seconds the splash screen freezes and closes:

A: Possible solution:
This may occur due to incomplete installation of the game. Wait until all game components are installed (and updated) ( Single player, multiplayer, and zombie mode) before launch.

Q: It gives an error when starting a single player: Error during initialization: Unhandled exception caught.

A: No matter how funny it may be, the problem is solved by changing the time zone on the PC to GMT+8 (Hong Kong)

Q: According to the system requirements, everything is fine, but I notice some slowdowns in single player + the levels take about five minutes to load.

A: There is no solution yet. We are waiting for the patch.
Owners of nVIDIA video cards can update drivers to beta version 310.54 http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/index.aspx?lang=ru. They say it helps a lot of people.

Q: An error appears on the splash screen: "Error: quit was not requested in the main thread."

A: Possible solution:
No matter how funny it may be, the problem is solved by changing the time zone on the PC to GMT+8 (Hong Kong)

Q: Flies out on the second mission on boats. What to do?

A: The problem is only for people with nVIDIA video cards. More precisely, it's a matter of drivers.
Especially for this, a new (beta) version of firewood was released - 310.54. You can download from the off-site - http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/index.aspx?lang=ru.
If updating the drivers doesn't help you (there are cases like this), don't worry - Treyarch is currently working with NVIDIA to resolve this issue.

B: Alternative option.
Lower the Core clock to 700 MHz using EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner, or another alternative program. This option also saves you from other hangups in the game.

Q: I updated the drivers, as you advised - but it still crashes/black screen/it seems to me that it has become even worse/add what you need yourself;) What should I do?

A: Indeed, this happens. I found interesting comments on foreign forums that after installing new drivers (this is important!) and then rolling back to the old ones, the game starts and works without crashes. Try it!

Q: Lags in cutscenes, stuttering characters.

A: Gradually lower the graphics settings until we find a happy medium.
There is no other solution yet.

Q: An error appears - "Dependency failure":

A: This may be due to an incomplete installation of the game. Please wait until all game components (Single Player, Multiplayer, and Zombie Mode) are installed (and updated) before launching.

Q: "Attention. Lost connection with the server - 57475." What to do?

A: There is no definite answer yet, but there is unverified information that the error is related to programs that hack the level: “If you somehow change your statistics, you can no longer log into the server, but receive the error: Server Error 57475”

Q: Error: "Error during initialization: Missing config file "default.cfg" during initialization. May need to add to code_pre_gfx."

A: Possible solution:
1) The path to Steam should not contain Cyrillic (i.e. Russian letters).
For example:
D:\GAMES\Steam - this is wrong.
D:\Games\Steam is correct.

2) Also, the path to Steam should not contain any characters - periods, commas, exclamation marks, etc.
For example:
D:\GAMES\Steam.! - this is wrong.
D:\Games\Steam is correct.

Q: Third mission: when I'm riding a horse, the horse falls into the texture and I can't move. Or a similar problem in other missions.

A: There is no definite answer yet, for now I can only advise updating the drivers for the video card - and so: the fraudsters are waiting for a patch, the pirates are waiting for a crack-fix.

Q: Black screen with cursor on startup. What to do?

A: Possible solution from the Steam forum:
We are trying to update the drivers for your sound card.

B: Disable UAC User Account Control

Q: Departures immediately after Afghanistan. What should I do?

A: Option 1: In the settings of your audio device - Control Panel-> Hardware and Sound-> Manage audio devices-> Select your current device-> Properties-> Advanced tab, set the first quality in the list to 16 bit 44100 Hz (CD). Voila, the game doesn't crash.
Option 2: Download and replace this file in the zone - all folder http://rghost.ru/41544933

Q: When looking through the crosshairs, FPS drops very significantly. What to do?

A: There is no solution as such yet, we are waiting for a patch.
Possible solution:
Parameters - Detailed - Depth of field: set to Low. -> helps some.

Q: I have a laptop. One video card. The menu and so on work fine, but as soon as I start multiplayer, the screen turns black, but I hear shots, the sound of my steps (I can move) - i.e. the game is on. What to do?

A: I haven’t found a clear solution as such yet. I can only give you one piece of advice:
Try experimenting with screen resolution and display mode.

If it doesn't help, wait for the patch!

Q: I have a laptop: two video cards - an integrated Intel HD400 and a discrete GeForce GT 540M (I just gave it as an example, not the point).

Black Ops 2 won't switch to GeForce on startup
A: There is such a problem! We launch it ourselves, manually;) + we try in the Nvidia settings (the tray icon next to the clock) to “forcibly” set the discrete V.card for Black Ops 2.

Games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 often refuse to launch on PC. One of the reasons may be an error "Error during initialization: Unhandled exception caught". The notification appears after trying to access the game, although everything was fine yesterday. We will try to give everything possible solutions on this issue.

Reasons for the bug in the Black Ops 2 series

It's worth noting that PC performance has nothing to do with it. The problem is hidden only in system inconsistencies between the game and Windows. That is, as an option, the error may appear in the absence of Steam. Also to blame is a different time zone, a registry crash, broken files in the game, etc.

Fixing the problem

The specific reason can only be determined by checking the compliance of all parameters one by one. Let's start, as usual, with the most obvious solutions.

Time zone

The “Unhandled Exception Caught” error can be resolved in most cases by switching to another time zone. On PC you need to change it to +8. This will be equivalent to Hong Kong. A similar procedure must always be repeated before starting Call of Duty.

Time

You always need to change the time back. Sometimes it is enough to set the date a few weeks ago. Other users need to roll back to 13.11.2012 . Before starting the game, you should always set this indicator, since it will correct itself for today's date after the PC is restarted.

Steam

Steam is indispensable in many cases. The Black Ops 2 part is no exception. Install Steam on your computer. Launch Call of Duty only from it. For those who do not want to install Steam, you can try to bypass it. There are special utilities that simulate its operation.

Cache and registry

These two concepts are combined because they have one solution: scan them for errors. The Call of Duty cache should be repaired via Steam. After selecting the game, go to its properties. There in the local files below there will be the necessary command. Everything about the registry can be solved using CCleaner. Download the utility, and it will contain an item about repairing the registry.

Update

Sometimes, updating your sound card or OS will resolve the “Unhandled Exception Caught” error. It is not known exactly why this happens, but be sure to do this if newer drivers are released.

Call of Duty

Licensed games I always work more consistently. If purchasing is not an option for you, then download the “pirated” version from another site. Perhaps the current “Black Ops 2” was assembled incorrectly, which led to the crash. Always rely on player reviews on forums and avoid dubious resources.

By the way, read this article too: Making a bootable USB flash drive Alkid Live DVD

Skidrow

Skidrow is essentially a regular “crack”. Try downloading the “crack” separately from the Internet. Remove the current blocking bypass or simply download it clean game, and during the installation process you throw a “crack” at it. The error appeared due to poor license bypass.

More options for solving the “Unhandled Exception Caught” error:

• change the version or bitness of Windows, because it was precisely because of the transition to version 10 that many began to receive a message about access being denied, it is advisable to return to version 7;
• reinstall the game and Steam itself;
• find the file in the game folders iw6mp64_ship.exe. Remove it. Run a cache check.

Conclusion

Finally, it is recommended to contact Valve. Technical support may be able to analyze your specific case individually, since in 90% of cases the methods described above help - most likely, you will not be able to solve the error on your own.

Here you will be able to find solutions to resolve errors that may appear on your screens when launching and while playing Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Sooner or later, each user encountered errors when launching a particular game. Each error that occurs has its own causes and solutions. Now we will look at the main errors in the game Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 and how to get rid of them.

When launching Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 error DLL MSVCR100.dll is missing

If, when you try to launch Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, an error pops up stating that there is no MSVCR100.dll recommended:

• Download the MSVCR100.dll file. It is better to download this file only from the official Microsoft website, because when downloading from other (third-party) portals, you can harm your computer.
• Copy it to the folder with the main .exe file of the game.

If you don’t know where to copy, then you can right-click on the game shortcut and select "Properties", then click on “File location” and copy the downloaded file to the folder that opens (that is, where the file launched by the shortcut is located) MSVCR100.dll.

Error after launching Runtime error in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

After you have tried to run Call game of Duty: Black Ops 2 an error appears with the words Runtime.
The component will help solve this problem "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2005-2010", which is necessary for the launch and operation of many games and applications.

1. Since the main possible reason If this error occurs, the presence of outdated video card drivers or their absence, the first step is to update these drivers. The main thing is to install the drivers correctly, and not on top of existing ones. Before installing new ones, you must first get rid of outdated drivers. Also check if your PC configuration is suitable minimum requirements games.
2. Check the presence of installed gaming software and, of course, the software that is used for correct operation most games and applications.
   – DirectX
   – Microsoft VCRedist 2005-2010.
3. Also, it is worth considering that the cause of such an error may be not only a malfunction or deficiency of any software on your computer, but also broken repack. Problems with repack not working occur very often and lead not only to this error.

Endless loading

If you are trying to launch Black Ops 2, but the game does not finish loading and at this moment there is nothing but black / black on your monitor white screen, or loading animation, this will help you:

• Updating video card drivers.
• Purchasing a license.

Friends in the lobby. Invitation

Press P and open the lobby. Then you can invite if there is an open NAT.

Error: Error quit was not requested in the main thread

To resolve this error, you need to install Steam (no need to sign in).
Change the date, for example from 10/10/2014 to 10/8/2014 (back 2-3 days), but under no circumstances change time zones. After changing the date, try starting the game. If it still starts for your wife, download Steam.txt and change the file extension from txt to reg. Then run Steam.reg and add changes to the registry.
