The game fails to start on Black Ops 3.
The game fails to start on Black Ops 3.
It displays the safe mode interface and frequently crashes. All videos I've seen online match this behavior. I attempted a fix with their solution, but it didn't work. I changed my motherboard, yet the CPU and RAM functioned normally on the previous board.
I recently changed my motherboards and switched to an ASROCK TAICHI X370 RYZEN 7 with 1700 RAM, 24 GB RGB, and a 3200 MHz processor. It includes two GTX 1070's in SLI mode and a 2 TB NVME drive with 250 GB storage in RAID 0. I also installed a 3 TB HDD in RAID 0. After updating Windows, I encountered Steam Must Be Loaded for this game and wondered if Steam is still accessible.
I fixed it by uninstalled and reinstalled Steam. The issue was because my Steam folder was on a different drive. After doing that, it worked perfectly—gaming at 120 FPS!
