Open Windows settings Press Windows + S, type Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows, and open it. Or go to Control Panel → System → Advanced system settings → Performance → Settings → Advanced tab → Virtual memory → Change . Disable automatic management Uncheck Automatically manage page file sizes for all drives. Set all drives to system managed Click each drive in the list and set Page file size to System managed size. Click Set for each drive, then OK and Apply
Great game, no intrusive anti-cheat requiring BIOS updates (looking at you, MW4), nice mixture of old-school and new-school movement, and, albeit with a few minor bugs remaining, it plays very well under Linux now with none of the texture issues or memory leaks that some Windows users face :o The game looks to be going on Game Pass now, so the playerbase may increase greatly due to that. I would love to get some Fireteam and Combined Arms matches going. Hit me up if y'all want to gather up and play those o:
Most underrated CoD in my opinion. Campaign is peak MP is awesome, even with the weird scorestreak system. Zombies was divisive but I loved it, and find it really chill. Best overall modern CoD without a doubt. Does have some really annoying bugs when starting up the game though, so I'd recommend it on sale only. The price should be lower anyway because it's past the life cycle, but Activision won't let that happen lol
Cold War is the absolute peak of CoD movement. Not too slow, not too fast. Beautiful gunplay, mostly well-balanced. As of this review in May 2026, multiplayer is still active except in the very early hours of the mornings. You will be able to find matches anytime on Nuketown 24/7 and most of the time on TDM and Demolition. Party games also are still very good on this game. Sticks n Stones, Gun Game, and Prop Hunt are all still active. The bad... like a lot of CoD titles, they stop caring about cheating once the year cycle ends. At this point, cheaters have absolutely destroyed the SnD commuinity which is a shame because BOCW had the absolute best maps and game mechanics for SnD. I am bias, but I play this game a ton and have for years. If you're looking for a CoD to grind and stay with, I can say this is a good one. If you're looking to have FUN playing CoD, this is 100% the one. Just beware that you're going to run into some cheaters, you're going to get booted out of some lobbies, you're going to experience occasional server issues and random weird bugs that are a part of playing a largely unsupported game. And lastly, to Activision. If you happen to read this review, just know that I have pure hatred to the depths of my soul for how you just abandon games that made 10s of millions of dollars. Assigning a small team to support old CoD games is really the least you leeches could do. But until someone gets doxxed and murdered because of your negligence and you have to pay the family a fat settlement, nothing will happen. Protect your community and your name.
