  1. Go to <path-to-game>\video\
  2. Delete or move these files:
default.bik default.webm dolby.webm frontend_load.webm intro.webm treyarch.webm

Latin American audio mod [edit]

Latin American audio mod[6]

It's highly recommended to backup the English language files before using this mod
Does not support the Spanish version of the game
Some DLC maps do not have Latin American audio available, even with the mod
  1. Download the modded archives here.
  2. Change the language of the game to English.
  3. Paste the downloaded files over the existing language files.

Issues fixed [edit]

TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.

FPS drop while zooming in [edit]

Frame rate drop while aiming down sights.
Set low Depth of Field[7]

Set Depth of Field option to low without significant visual impact.

Additionally you can turn off Ambient Occlusion and FXAA which affect the speed when aiming down sights.

Mouse Lag [edit]

Significant mouse lag with vsync enabled.
Use Borderless Windowed mode [citation needed]

If you're experiencing mouse lag from vertical sync and screen tearing without it, selecting Borderless Windowed mode from the video options menu may solve the issue.

Error '57475' When Joining Game [edit]

Fixing 57475 error [citation needed]
These steps should fix the error, but they reset all of your stats.
Please be aware that, by using Cheat Engine or Similar tools, you are highly exposed to the risk of being banned by either Treyarch Anti Cheat or VAC.
  1. Download a memory address editor (like Cheat Engine).
  2. Run the game. Go to barracks. Use an editor to change the value of address '02e97ca4' (version 21.406.7) to 5.
  3. Go to 'Prestige mode' and then click 'Prestige Awards'.
  4. Select 'Fresh Start'. Your stats should now be reset, and the error shouldn't come up anymore.

Issue with changing Language [edit]

Fixing Localization Problem [citation needed]
This problem occurs after switching the game language. It crashes the game on startup with a message similiar to this one :

"Error during Intialization:

ERROR: sound Bank failed to load cmn_root.Englisch. You have a Build Problem."

Solution : Set the language of all three game parts (singleplayer, multiplayer and zombies) to your desired language and wait for Steam to finish downloading.

Zombies Leaderboard and Campaign Career Record crash [edit]

The game will crash whenever Career Record/Leaderboard (Campaign/Zombies) is accessed if you have more than 60 and less than 100 Steam friends.
Steam Offline mode or Firewall block[8]

Set Steam in Offline Mode. You can block "t6sp.exe" for the campaign and/or "t6zm" in your Firewall by creating a blocking rule for incoming and outgoing traffic. Achievements should work, but you won't be able to play online or retrieve leaderboards.

Change number of friends[9]

Delete friends until total number is under 60, or add more friends until total is over 100.

Unhandled Exception Caught [edit]

Verify[10]
  1. Verify local files for singleplayer and then multiplayer.
  2. Reset Steam.

Highest resolution not showing [edit]

Monitor may support 1920x1080, but highest available setting may be 1440x900 or 1680x1050.[11] [12]
Use borderless fullscreen windowed mode[13]
  1. Set the windowed mode to Windowed (Full Screen).
  2. Restart the game.
  3. The missing resolution will now be listed in-game.
Set Catalyst Control Center[14]
  1. Go to the Catalyst Control Center > My Digital Flat Panels > Properties (Digital Flat-Panel)
  2. Activate "Enable GPU scaling".
