CoD Black Ops II - Windows 10 Unhandled Exception FIX

[JakeHekesFists]

OK, I'm writing this guide as this is a problem that continues to occur, with every update to the tech preview for Windows 10

The "Error during initialisation" "unhandled exception caught" errors that happen everytime windows 10 updates.

Many supposed 'fixes' for this problem are "revert to windows 7"
That is not a fix, That is uninformed people providing bad advice.

I will teach you now, how to fix the issue. Properly, without uninstalling windows 10 and going back to 7 or 8.
I am writing this guide to help anyone that will encounter this issue, particularly as we get closer to the official release of Windows 10.

-------------------------------

HOW TO FIX

-------------------------------

First thing you need to do is ensure your visual c libraries are up to date and installed.

you can locate the correct redist for Visual C. only the x86 version is required here.
you can find this in your black ops 2 folder, under redist

eg. mine is located here:
"E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops II\redist\vcredist_x86.exe"

run that, install it. now the next thing to do, is make sure you have the correct DX9 libraries installed.
these are also located in the redist folder. run dxsetup.exe which is located in the redist\directx folder,
eg. mine is here:
"E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops II\redist\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe"

after this is done,
right click on t6mp.exe
click on the compatability tab, check the following options.

run this program in compatability mode for windows 8 or 7, -if one doesn't work, try the other.
(and run this program as an administrator)
(Note: These instructions were written when windows 10 was still Tech Preview only. you no longer need to run as admin)
click apply

now you're almost done.
go into steam, right click on call of duty: black ops ii - multiplayer, go to properties.
click on the Local Files tab, and then "verify integrity of game cache"

let this process complete, and once done. run the game.
it will likely pop up that the game is installing for a few seconds, and then it will work.

I have been running windows 10 for a while now, and with every update, I have needed to perform these actions to make Black Ops II work again.

I hope this helps at least one of you.

Cheers.

Multiplayer and zombies works fine with me, it's the sp that won't work. I did as you decribed but it didn't work, so I don't know what to do. And I only had 2 missions left before I upgraded to windows 10.

Nevermind, I just forgot to "verify integrity of game cache". After I did that it worked perfect, thanks. Damn I feel so stupid sometimes.

Tried what u said but it didnt work for me
Everytime after i finish a mission or I go to the career records, the game will give me a black screen

[The King of H (bestemmiator)]

i dont see compatibility when right clicking t6mp

[The King of H (bestemmiator)]

so... i did this and campain and zombies work perfectly, but multiplayer keeps crashing. I click multiplayer, it starts loading and then it crashes and says that it stopped working (i have admin. mode off, with it it just says that steam prepares the game for ever).
Sometimes i get the unhandled exception thing.
