# Overview

3Launcher is a script designed to streamline the setup process for speedrunning Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (BO3). It automates the tedious steps required to manage saves, configurations, and custom setups—saving you valuable time.

This is especially useful for runners who need to:

- Load and switch between multiple save files quickly.
- Automate the Microsoft Store version setup, which requires additional steps to get saves working properly.
- Use custom binds and settings without needing to reconfigure them every time the game launches (since BO3 resets binds on startup).

Whether you're running the Steam, Microsoft Store, or BOIII client, 3Launcher makes managing your speedrunning setup simple and efficient.

# Requirements

- Windows OS

# Installation

Head over to the GitHub page below and download the source code on the latest release. Then extract the .zip anywhere. You can then copy and paste the folder anywhere that you believe is necessary, like your Documents folder.

Additional Saves

Any% NG+ Splits

Mod menu created for the campaign which can be used to practice strategies. This includes exit warp practice, checkpoint practice, and weapon practice. The menu can also be used to skip straight to any checkpoint and start practicing a certain part of a mission without having to do the rest. Installation guide in the steam workshop description. DISCLAIMER: This menu is banned in runs.

Arc Platinum

# Overview

A patch designed to fix the FPS issues from the recent steam update and to combat the security issues and crashes. This patch is allowed in runs as it does not affect anything gameplay wise other than the FPS issue (which is how the game played out before the steam update).

# Disclaimer

This patch is known to not work in the campaign, causing Vacant Boot State to occur. If you are a campaign speedrunner, you should go for other options like BO3 Enhanced or BOIII Vanilla.

Black Ops 3 Community Patch

# Overview

Takes the performance fixes associated with the Microsoft Store version of the game and mixes it with the Steam version.

# Requirements

- [UWP Dumper](https://github.com/Wunkolo/UWPDumper/releases/tag/latest)
- [Black Ops 3 (Windows Store Version)](https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/call-of-duty-black-ops-iii-windows/9p2z4lp10zmc)
- [Black Ops 3 (Steam Version)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/311210/Call_of_Duty_Black_Ops_III/)

# Installation

After downloading the UWP Dumper zip, extract it anywhere. Now install the BO3 Enhanced files and drag them into the Windows BO3 directory (DRIVE:\XboxGames\Call of Duty Black Ops 3\Content). After doing so, launch that version of the game as well as the UWP Dumper. Type in the process ID for BO3 in the UWP Dumper. The files will be dumped into this folder: %LocalAppData%\Packages\38985CA0.CallofDutyBlackOps3PCMS_5bkah9njm3e9g\TempState\DUMP

Drag the contents into the Steam BO3 directory (SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops III) and the installation should be complete.

Black Ops 3 Enhanced

BOIII Vanilla is an external BO3 Client that mitigates issues with the traditional steam version. This includes the hacking issues, FPS stuttering (due to a steam update that pings the server to check for DLCs), and more. This also emulates an online environment, allowing us to access features like variants, custom emblems, and more entirely offline, even giving us the ability to share the save files with eachother. This is a modified version of an other client known as the BOIII Ezz client, which is pretty well known. The Ezz client, however, is banned from campaign speedruns as some of the features meant for multiplayer crossover to the campaign and could potentially be exploited. The purpose of BOIII Vanilla is to pretty much just "Vanilla-ify" the Ezz client.
