The Xbox Series X is a very exciting new console, as it has brought in the new generation of gaming. It is also exciting playing a brand new shooter, likeCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. What is not exciting, however, is theXbox Series X crashing when playingCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. However, one Reddit user claims to have found a fix to the issue that works 100% of the time, which if true, would be amazing.
There have been somefixes to theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warcrashing the Xbox Series X problembefore, but not all of them work for everyone, or they don’t work 100% of the time. Of course, this new fix is not yet guaranteed to work for everyone. But right now it seems like it is catching on on r/XboxSeriesX, so it is worth a try for anyone who is having the issue.

This fix is forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warcrashing on the Xbox Series X. The most important step, perhaps, is turning off Ray Tracing. This is because it has become abundantly clear, unfortunately, thatRay Tracing causes performance issues onCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfor both the Xbox Series X and PS5. The way to fix the issue, according to u/EmadBella on Reddit is rather bizarre.
Many individuals who have had the games crash will notice that at the start of rounds,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwill start to stutter, and the frame rate drops. Additionally, theXbox Series X controllerdoes not vibrate (so the Reddit user recommends testing this out by taking some test shots with the gun). So if all of this is happening, simply press and hold the “Xbox” button on the controller. The power menu will pop up and ask if the player wants to shut down, turn off the controller, restart, etc. Instead of doing any of these things, simply press that “B” button to go back to the game, and the issue is fixed. The game will not crash.
For now, this fix is not full proof by any means. This post was only uploaded on Reddit two days ago. But this could be a short term fix for those who are struggling to get through matches in a night of fragging it up with friends inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
There are a lot ofsecrets and fun to be had inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, it is a bummer to be kicked out of a match and not be able to enjoy any of it. The hope is that Treyarch and Activision are able to fix the issues through patches entirely, so that fans don’t need to search through Reddit for bizarre fixes for crashes like this. However, in the meantime, hopefully, this does the trick.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
