how to fix prestige bug ?
There is a visual bug who do not allow you to purchase something from prestige shop or just prestige up. You need to go into a solo game(public match), get 1-2 kills and quit the game. go back at the Cold War main menu and your level should be back to normal. Here is some examples of solo games that you can play:
  • Infected:

  • Gunfight:

  • Knife Fight:

  • Important: sometimes playing other game modes and getting 1-2 kills fix the rank progression too. Please note that you may need to do this every time when you open Cold War, i hope that Activision will fix the issue soon.
AMD USERS
If your game won't startup, you can downgrade your AMD drivers to an older version or use new driver if you are not up to date.
NVIDIA Users
You need to update your drivers from GeForce Experience and use new drivers. in some cases you may downgrade your NVIDIA drivers but it is not necessary at all.
Intel Users
You need upate your drivers from Intel Driver & Support Assistant. Your processor need to be up to date. it is very rare to downgrade an Intel driver.
CoD BO Cold War High Resolution Assets DLC
The High Resolution Assets DLC contains more image data than a standard resolution texture pack, which means that it can provide more detail and sharper textures.


Settings -> Graphics -> Details & Textures -> HD Game Textures & Models.

condition of use:
- Texture Quality: ULTRA
- Model Quality: HIGH

Compatible devices:
4K 1440p or higher resolution monitor: Yes.
1080p resolution monitor: Yes. High Resolution Assets DLC would still be noticeable on a 1080p screen, but the difference may not be as significant as it would be on a higher resolution display.

I suggest to be informed about High Resolution Assets DLC before download it. you can watch comparison videos to see the difference between: High Resolution Assets DLC: ON and High Resolution Assets DLC: OFF to see if your computer meets the system requirements for High Resolution Assets DLC.

@Jankey989, thank you, I modified the title as cp(cod points).

@OPERATORx7 CP also stands for something else. it will get dinged. just letting you know
OPERATORx7  [author] 8 Sep @ 4:40pm 
@Jankey989, CP = cod points
Jankey989 8 Sep @ 4:32pm

@OPERATORx7 i have 4 custom classes that i edited and renamed and my shotgun is my favorited but i still spawn in multiplayer zombie outbreak with ak 47. i selected the shotgun class that i edited prior to joining the lobby. nothing seems to work properly compared to if i play solo which works every time.
OPERATORx7  [author] 8 Sep @ 12:21pm 
@LoneWolf, you need to create a custom class. you can also add a class to your favorite to start a zombies round with it. your favorite custom class will be selected by default your starting custom weapon class. here a youtube link that you can watch from 1:30 minutes, https://youtu.be/IzPa33Q8OB0

@OPERATORx7 there is no loadout section just these : 1. create-a-class 2. skills
3. accessories 4. vehicle customs 5. gestures 6. bundle locker

@LoneWolf, it is not a bug, it is because of 1st selected loadout. You can change your selected gun loadout to another gun from weapons->loadout section.

is there a fix in multiplayer for this bug : seems like i always spawn with the ak 47 and not the gun i have equipped. Only happens in multiplayer zombies outbreak.
