Black Ops 3 will not boot up

[Ramsy]

@Classixz

When I try to run BO3, it crashes right after the opening cutscene with the "blackops3.exe has stopped working." message.

This is all Windows is telling me:

Tried verifying the game files, it did nothing. Tried running the game in Safe Mode, it did nothing. And I cba to re-install the game considering my download speed even makes people in South Africa laugh.

pls help

Have you tried restarting steam or even your computer?

If all else fails try to google it, I know it may sound stupid, but chances are someone else is having the same problem.

i dont want poor ramsy to go through 60 hours of his life just downloading bo3...

looked it up, this guy has the same problem and he gives possible fixes: https://steamcommunity.com/app/311210/discussions/0/487876568232074348/

But before you check that, i would consider checking this video. It has very positive likes, which might be likely to fix your problem:
