Select your language. Choose "Limit 2GB RAM usage" if you have a low-end PC (8GB RAM). Uncheck "DirectX/VC++ Redist" if you already have them installed.

However, if you want to play online with friends or grind weapon camos, you must buy the official game.

The official game requires 16GB. The highly compressed top version cleverly manages memory leaks in the campaign, allowing 8GB users to play on low settings. The Shader Cache Warning One major issue with Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War on PC is shader compilation . In the official version, the game freezes to compile shaders. In repacks, this is even trickier.

Highly compressed means slow installation. On a standard HDD, installation can take 1.5 to 2 hours . On an SSD, roughly 45 minutes. Do not panic if it says "Not Responding"—that is the decompression working. System Requirements (For the Compressed Version) Because the compressed version strips away 4K textures and heavy multiplayer assets, the requirements are slightly lower than the official Steam page.
