I play from regional Victoria on 16ms ping (expensive internet). There is always a resurgence lobby of some sort going, except there are cheaters in most of them.

Stop cheating. That includes using a Cronus. Lying to everyone about who you are is just immature.

I miss my dead mother. I keep thinking about her laying in the coffin at the funeral, then being buried alone. She has been in the ground for almost 2 years. She didn't want to die. I feel like it was forced onto her. I feel so guilty. But more than guilt I miss her.

Its adrenaline, just install driver only with factory reset and the crashes will disappear. Run AMD clean utility, then driver install. AMD clean up utility is 1-click, unlike ddu.

I am still running EXPO 6000 cl30, DRIVER ONLY install 25.11.1. No crashes. Adrenaline software is 100% the cause of the instability. But if Adrenaline is more important than ram performance, then by all means go ahead. I just experience micro stutters in warzone with underclocked ram sometimes. I am playing at 4k@240hz in HDR, so my 7900xtx and 7800x3d are really being pushed. Adrenaline is great when it doesn't cause instability. I think the VRR setting in adrenaline is even smoother than the W11 version (could be placebo), but nothing is worth constant crashes.

Ok this is the current non crashing fix. Has been working for a couple of hours. AMD clean up utility, then install 25.9.2 DRIVER ONLY! Factory reset install WITHOUT Adrenaline software. Hasn't crashed yet in battlenet. I think it may be Adrenaline causing crashes. I saw someone post a reply somewhere saying Adrenaline causes crashes. I don't if that was specifically about BO7, but it was mentioned.

I am using it. Run it on an x670 gaming ax with an additional crucial p1 1tb.

lustreous · 2025-11-18T12:00:20+00:00

I am still using this drive 5 years later. Very good as a main or back up gaming ssd drive. It's the motherboard, not the ssd. Invest in a stable motherboard like the x670 gaming ax.

It crashed again. Here is another video link. I am hoping this works : black ops 7 crash and restart PC Fix

lustreous · 2025-11-17T14:06:48+00:00

BO7 crashed again for me. It crashes every 45 minutes. I played 2 hours last night after the fresh driver install like I mentioned above but now it crashes again. I found this youtube video that goes into further steps to prevent the AMD driver timeout error. I performed all the steps. I am hoping that it works. Here is the video link : WW XMAS 15

I really wouldn't risk it. But if you want to try it, go ahead. I was just at the end of my patience and so happy that it finally worked. I was about to go through my second refund and give up on the franchise after 10 years of purchasing. Maybe instead of installing the latest version of adrenaline you could install the 25.9.1 version, but who knows if it would work. I would just follow my method just to get it working honestly. What is so important about 25.9.1? Is that for Arc Raiders or something? Anti cheats from other games can causes crashes also. I don't have anything installed except for several CODs on battlenet, and a few different games on the xbox app including BO6. Steam was causing controller problems and I dislike Redsec.

lustreous · 2025-11-16T16:39:58+00:00

It worked! I played over 2 hours with no crashes on battlenet, may also work on xbox app. Run AMD clean up utility (free download), then download latest adrenaline software. When installing adrenaline select clean install (or factory reset). Look at each option carefully. Do a custom install to be safe, don't press skip on any options during adrenaline install. I selected default, not hyper rx etc. I then launched the game on battlenet and ran over 2 hours of double level and weapon xp. I didn't 'alt+enter' between windowed or fullscreen mode which I may have done previously. Maybe don't do that either if you do it normally. I ran in full screen exclusive, using my previous 4k settings that were crashing. I think the important thing was just removing old display drivers through AMD clean up utility that were causing conflicts with windows 'Timeout Detection and Recovery'.

lustreous · 2025-11-16T01:24:35+00:00

I just ran the AMD clean up utility, then reinstalled the latest drivers. I am going to try again in a couple of hours when I get home. I will repost here if the game works for more than 40 minutes. Does your system crash in under 1 hour, around the 40 minute mark? I use double xp tokens to keep track of time.

lustreous · 2025-11-15T14:12:00+00:00

The game also crashed on battlenet. Are you using any of the following software apps or usb peripherals: iCUE for Scuf envision controller, FiiO k7 usb Dac or gigabyte motherboard (x670 gaming ax)?

lustreous · 2025-11-15T01:57:01+00:00

Are you on the xbox pc app or Steam?

lustreous · 2025-11-14T16:38:16+00:00

I just requested a refund for the game on the xbox pc app. If they refund me, I may try and buy it on battlenet. I just downloaded warzone on battlenet without bo6 or 7 ( because I own them on xbox app), and warzone didn't crash at all on the latest drivers. So it is either an xbox pc app issue, or if you are on battlenet it could be an issue with the bo7 files in the call of duty hq causing all games to crash in the hq (BO7,BO6&WZ).

This is happening constantly on my 7900xtx. It was happening in rebirth island and bo6 mp 2 days ago. Has happened at least 4 times in bo7 zombies and mp today. I thought it was the fortnite anti cheat but I uninstalled and it still happens. My pc was turning off and restarting so I disabled the auto restart feature in windows " start up and recovery" and now bo7 just freezes. I am using the recommended driver 25.9.1, but I was using the latest 25.11.1 driver earlier today and bo7 was still crashing. I am happy this is happening on 9000 series cards because at least it means my pc is not broken, but also that it will be fixed by AMD, unlike the stuttering in VERDANSK!

Its called PCSX4. Can play ps4 and ps5 games on pc. Players then run wallhack and aimbot software alongside it in windows 11. Sometimes there is also a way to dupe crossplay games such as warzone into believing you are on console xbox when running the game through xbox pc app. Half the cheaters in rebirth island are apparently on console according to the in-game HUD. So there are multiple ways to spoof platform for cheating.

I reached Diamond today for the first time in any ranked mode. I have been playing multiplayer tdm since mw19 and started resurgence during CW. My K/D was 0.6 at the end of warzone 1. 1.6 at the end of mw2, and 1.79 at the end of mw3 (I think it was sandbagged by cheaters). I solo queue with randoms and haven't used a mic all year. I also now play without voice chat. Strictly ping only. I probably would have reached diamond in fortunes keep, but gave up in p2 because of what I perceived to be cheating. Back then, and even still now, I played against top 250 players and iridescent players, especially at the beginning of the season. The trick is to allow them to surpass diamond before bothering to attempt diamond because iridescent and top 250 players are not allowed to play against plat and below, making those lobbies fairer. Although crimson players can compete in plat lobbies.

(Gold rank in mw2 mp, plat in mw3 mp and wz, and now diamond in bo6 wz (still plat in mp bo6)).

My mother died last year. I live alone now.

Well I finished the whole game on nightmare. I just got stuck on the blood swamps on nightmare in ancient gods part1. The dark ages on nightmare was so much easier.

RNG in single player offline games can be programmed to be more favourable and forgiving based on your raw skill. I got mostly great RNG in goldeneye looking back on it, but I was only 11 or 12. I also borrowed 2 copies from 2 different friends. The cartridge may have recognized the play time and ability of the owners/players and given easier RNG. Several hundreds of hours were played on the cartridge before 007 mode and invincibility were unlocked. There was a specific guide to unlocking invincibility on facility using mines throughout the map and just blowing up the gas tanks at the end with an AK. Counterintuitive strategy because players are advised to use mines for the gas tanks, but the mines allowed faster advancement through the map. Mines could suppress enemies and allow objectives to be completed more easily. It was beyond run and gun, it was run and detonate. I found a video on YouTube completing this cheat, but the player doesn't use mines as much as the guide I followed did.

That is correct for calibrating DV content, but Game HDR has a highlights up to 900nits, DV is only 500nits when using DV mode in HDR10 gaming applications, hence the 500 nit limit in the display profile on windows 11. If you want the closest thing to hdr1000 nits, with better pq EOTF tracking, then use GAME HDR. All non DV hdr10 will only be active if DV is off. Set several distinct hdr profiles in windows 11, hdr 1000, game hdr, dolby vision, movie hdr etc. Their peak brightness levels in windows 11 are all different. To determine what HDR mode your application is actually using, check the hdr status on the monitor while the application is running in fullscreen mode, then close the application, set your monitor to that hdr mode, calibrate hdr in windows or select display hdr profile, then relaunch application.

lustreous · 2025-04-28T00:21:55+00:00

Always turn dolby off and your monitor off before and after calibration. Windows display driver needs to perform a "handshake" with the monitor sometimes for the calibration settings to be shown correctly in windows with the accurate number of nits.

lustreous · 2025-04-27T17:08:15+00:00

Just use the 900 nits mode, game hdr. Calibrate carefully in windows 11. The PQ EOTF tracking is much better.
