Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - Bug / Glitch Reports
Description: Game crashes during launch, right after "A Treyarch Game" is displayed and before it "checks files." Started after October 17 update (could have started October 16, but I did not play/update then).
Reproduction: Launching the game from the Battle.net application. Upon crashing and relaunching, I'm prompted if I want to start the game in "safe mode". Selecting yes or no results in the same crash after about 8-10 seconds of the launch/intro screen.
