[Elidjor]

when the games finally done download and i press play it says that DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions.

Please help me it did cost alot of money

[Cathulhu]

Generally caused by a computer not meeting the system requirements. What are your system specs?

[Elidjor]

How do i check that?

[Cathulhu]

Shouldn't you have done that before you paid "alot of money"?
By reading the system requirements and compare those to your own computer specs.

Well, for basic information, click Help --> System Information in Steam client and post the content here.

That computer does not even remotely meet the system requirements.
The computer is from 2008 and severely outdated.

I bought the game in a store D: but im saving for a new graphics card

[Cathulhu]

You need more than that. Your entire computer does not meet the requirements.
Sure, it was a good computer, back when it was new. Which was nine years ago.
Today, it's pretty bad.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

you will most likely need a new psu before a gpu.

just save up for a new pc instead.

[The Giving One]

Always check the store page system requirements before you buy any game on Steam, and even if you buy the game in a store, you need to know the system requirements.

These are from the Store page from Steam on COD Infinite Warfare...

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit or later
Processor: Intel Core i3-3225 @ 3.30GHz or equivalent
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB / AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 70 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 11 Compatible
Additional Notes: Disk space requirement may change over time.

Omiting the GPU and possible PSU problem, look as your CPU in your specs.

That's the base speed. Now search for it on Intel's offical site to see if the CPU turbo's to a higher frequency when demanding processes are ran...

The old quads were nice CPU's, but that was then. Looks like that is it's maximum speed, without overclocing. Those old quads did overclock well, but it still won't get to what this demanding game requires, surely.

That is 3.30 GHz at a MINIMUM, as you see above. Again, this does not even take into account the GPU and CPU or the RAM. (you have 4 GB the game requires 8 GB MINIMUM)

As was said, it is not even close to meeting the requirements. Try to refund it or keep it until you get another computer. There is a hardware and OS forum here that can help you if you need it, in selecting hardware to run games as intensive as this one is.
