: First, ensure that your game version is compatible with the official patches released by Activision. Treyarch often makes these patches available through the game's built-in update system.

: Ensuring your GPU drivers were current to match the game's requirements.

: Ensure the game has administrative privileges to access necessary system folders. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations

: The Steam client automatically applies the latest updates (far beyond "Update 1 and 2") to ensure compatibility with modern hardware.
