if anyone knows how to fix this, and yes i have tried redownloading it didn't work and runing it as administrator and full screen optimization

[Pure & Rustic]

You need to set steam and game to run as admin.
If you set your win account to admin, problem solved (restart if you change it)
Do it by open controlpanel/useraccounts (you have to be an admin to change this)

[AlexTheSomething]

i have set cod, steam and windows as administrator and again nothing popuped so heres the log with all the things set as administrator:

If you log onto windows as an ADMIN, Disable it on Steam and GAME, because you are already and admin...
Disable compabillity mode for steam and game
Disable all about PPT settings

See that steam and game is enebled in antivirus and firewall

To create a custom view for the event viewer, click Action, then click the time the error happened. Then click error.

Then click on the event log windows.

This helps you narrow down the issue, then get WinDpg from the Microsoft Store, open WinDpg, and make sure to run as an admin. Click file, then go to file explorer.

use windpg on the mini dump file. Click analyze, and then when it is done, Failure bucket ID is what you're looking for.
