When the first command i have shown is executed steam is going to perform an silent download, there is no progress bar or anything, it is not going to be quick, its like a 40GB download. Once its completed a folder is going to be created on C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_1985810, all the content of this folder is going to be pasted on C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War (replacing the content that already exists, do not delete anything, just paste and replace). After that go to the library, right click on the game and under updates select "Only update this game when I launch it", then just launch the game as normal and you should be able to play right away. Let me know if this solves the problem for someone. Good luck.

The error I get:

Unfortunately, the application has unexpectedly stopped working.

Trying a "Scan and Repair" might solve the issue (nope brings us back to our original problem)

Hi there,

We appreciate you reaching out to us here at Activision Support. My name is Ed, and I understand you're having issues connecting to the game. Let me see what I can do for you.

If you're having trouble connecting to the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, you should first check Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Server Status.

If the status indicator for your platform is not green or an alert is present, you might encounter connectivity issues until service is restored and fully operational.

However, if the status indicator is green and no alerts are posted, several other factors could be affecting the quality of your connection.

If this is the case, we strongly recommend using a wired Ethernet connection. A wired connection will allow your system to achieve optimal performance when playing an online game. Wi-Fi connections have a wide variance in reliability and bandwidth, and can dramatically affect the quality of online gameplay. Wired Ethernet connections will maintain the minimum bandwidth connection that is required for online gaming.

Please perform the following troubleshooting steps if you continue to have trouble:
Check Steam Server Status
Please check the Steam Server Status page to ensure the issue which you are encountering is not related to system-wide downtime. If you encounter any timeout errors when attempting to access Steam sites, it is very likely that there is a system-wide issue and Steam will not be accessible until the issue is resolved.
Test Your Router
The Using a Router with Steam topic includes steps to isolate problems if they occur at the router.
Wireless and powerline connections can cause intermittent failures due to interference. If possible, test Steam with a direct wired connection to determine if this is a problem. An Internet speed test may also help you identify problems related to local link quality.
Troubleshoot all Firewalls
See the Using a Firewall with Steam topic for instructions to test and configure your firewall for Steam.
Note: If you are installing Steam for the first time or Steam has recently been updated, a firewall may be preventing Steam from connecting to the Steam Network - even if Steam worked correctly before the update was applied.
Disable Background Applications
Review the Programs Which May Interfere With Steam and reconfigure, disable or uninstall any programs which may be preventing Steam and Valve games from connecting.
Viruses, Trojans, Adware and Spyware
Scan your computer for Spyware, Malware, Adware, or Virus Interfering with Steam.
If the issue persists, please upload a video clip of the issue to YouTube. Share the link of the YouTube video for our reference.

I hope I was able to help. Feel free to get back to us if you continue to have trouble.

If you have any issues responding to your case via email, please use the Comments section on your case in My Cases.
Take care,

Ed B.

i have the same problem

I had the same error message, then I did the whole thing again, this time I waited long enough that I got a "download complete" message on steam console, then I moved the files again to the right folder (overwriting the old ones) and it worked.

Sorry if I'm dense. I'm new to this. The last couple of steps mention don't delete or do anything, but paste it? Can someone dumb down the last couple of steps for me. Thanks! I have the depot downloading now.

Basically, after the depot downloads you go into the depot folder, copy everything that’s in there and then go into the call of duty Cold War folder (wherever you have it located) and simply paste it into the folder. There should be a prompt that pops up asking if you want to replace these files, you’ll wanna click yes or click replace files. After that you simply go to your steam library, go to updates, and click only update when I launch it. To be honest I forgot how to get to the updates for a specific game but after that it should work perfectly fine. It worked for me so hopefully it’ll work for you

[[mint] Horror]

Is there a way to change the location of the download, because the drive it's downloading onto is too small

[OkayDillon]

i give up lol, just getting it on battle.net at this point

[Pigeon]

I've been downloading this file for 3 hours and I didn't get the download complete message.
Am I doing something wrong or is my connection just ♥♥♥♥

[TNT☆ŻēXāŁ★]

works perfectly fine if you do it correctly

[THIRTY-TACOS]

Worked for me

what happens if a new update comes out? can we update the game normally after that?
