Run Steam as admin worked for me and my game. Thanks for the help, much appreciated after I couldn't play one game anymore for some weeks after an update of the game appeared.

this did not work for bo3

[@BOOtyFiddler445]

I'm having the same exact problem

[@Nadesplayz]

@@BOOtyFiddler445 don’t worry bro I got you I figured it out. So what you wanna do it’s unplug all accessories like controllers, any other monitors besides your main, mics unplug. Restart the pc and open up bo3 right away once booted back up from restart.

​@@NadesplayzI already found a solution 👍🏼

[@BOOtyFiddler445]

​@@Nadesplayz You just had to uncheck the administration for black ops 3
