Edit: Correct my answer, need to use DXVK to combine with Special K to switch Windows mode/Borderless mode.

Hello Sir, thanks for your reply, i disable it, however it still not work.
But i find another way to make it worked and HDR is great.

1. enable COD:IW.
2. Loading into game.
3. Set game to Windows mode
4. enable Special K (enable Service)
5. Set game to Windows Borderless mode
6. HDR Worked!

Thanks!

Hi, you need to use DXVK and loading into game (campaign) at first and then inject special K, otherwise you will still stuck at infinite loading screen.

Use DXVK is to avoid switch windows borderless/window mode issue otherwise you will get directX error.

Hi, you can reference:

dxvk is another tool to transfer dirextX to vulkan.

I can at least confirm that the Steam copy of CoD: Infinite Warfare requires disabling Steam enhancements to even boot up.

[Steam.Log]
Silent=true

If the enhancements aren't disabled, as of v23.9.16.1 the game crashes on startup with the following error message:

---------------------------
Fatal Error
---------------------------
GetMessage failed with result 0x5
---------------------------
OK

I haven't been able to figure out how to solve the infinite loading screens when using SK in this game yet, but I noticed that the loading characteristics are entirely different when using SK than when not using it.

When not using SK, the game actually takes awhile to load its first couple of percentages, and occasionally stops at various points during the loading. That doesn't occur when using SK -- instead it's seemingly full throttle for the loading from start to ~95% where it suddenly stops and never finishes loading.

That final part also takes awhile when not using SK, but otherwise the loading animation is far less "smooth" when not using SK.

So something in SK seems to mess with the game's loading or something or another.

P.S:

Also, DontHookWndProc=true is required to solve a crash that otherwise occurs during the loading screens.
