Official Call of Duty: Black Ops PC multiplayer thread

I suspect the server issue this weekend was because elke hoes en sy perd tried to join over the weekend and somebodies' servers couldn't handle the load. Be it Steam or Mweb or Treyarch or Gameservers I dunno. I played last night for about an hour and it was fine. No lag, FPS or time lag. No spikes, nada.

The only thing I wish they would eliminate is the fucking dolphin diving. Jassus it is annoying. And what is especially sick is that these okes can still aim perfectly whilst diving though the air. I really think it is extremely annoying. When prone was left out of BC2 I was like WTF? Now I understand why they did it. It really is simply a irritating tactic. Yeah, its war and it works, that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I personally dont do it but it works hey. I also find it irritating. I have not had one problem with Black Ops since it was released. No big lag or FPS problems. Awesome game.
 
"The worst oversight has to be the configuration file mix-up that causes the framerate to drop dramatically in both multiplayer and singleplayer. Treyarch managed to ship the game with a configuration file that tells it to use a single-core processor and multiple video cards by default. That’s a setup no one has, because Black Ops requires a dual core processor in its minimum system specifications! At least this problem can be fixed on the user end by editing the configuration files (found in C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/call of duty black ops/players) in notepad. Search (Ctrl + F) for multi and set multiGpu to 0 and multithreaded_device to 1."

i found this at http://gamedrone.net/2010/11/10/black-ops-pc-riddled-with-bugs-and-issues/ along with all the other problems with this game..

I get the same thing with ping going from 50 to 999 and then teleporting forever or getting kicked, the main problem im having is that my "Steam"...ing piece of #$%! keeps disconnecting when i try play multiplayer and ive tried opening ports disabling firewalls to no avail.. i just wish there would be more effort on activison and treyarch's side, yet again gamers are left in the dark

Atleast we got dedicated servers! :/
 
Luckily Treyarch confirmed the problem on their side and is working on getting a fix out before the weekend.

Treyarch-run "pcdev" on Twitter was re-awoken today, to deliver a heap of very, very regular updates and replies to the PC Call of Duty: Black Ops community. The account with the proud bio of "kb+mouse or die" tweets that they're "Still super busy in the dev cave. Not stopping. Keep talking. We're listening. Patches incoming. Frag on." And while that statement is somewhat reassuring, we want cold hard facts. We want details. And pcdev delivers!
"/connect is coming back. maybe not next patch but I promise it is coming back."
"film recording should be fixed - this was a backend config problem for rented ranked servers only."
"TBH I'm not sure yet what is causing killcam choppiness, but we see it too. Will fix."
"trying to release patch before the weekend."
"we are aware of long shader compile times on nvidia 4 series cards causing hitching. working with nvidia on a fix."
"We have some nice optimizations for better FPS going into QA tomorrow."

Got my new 6870 yesterday and I must say, the game is running 100 times better, although the FPS still dips a bit too often for my liking. But 50-90FPS is quite playable ;)
 
Well, I didn't have any time to play over the weekend but managed to get into it last night. I used to be able to only play for a couple of seconds before I get the Connection Interrupted error. Now with the new patch I can play a whole map before that happens!! WOW!! That's just so awesome......... :(

So now it's join game, play map, finish map, load new map, 10 seconds into new map........ Connection Interrupted.

*sigh*
 
I am done with this game. I am not going to play until there is a official patch from treyarch. I am done trolling internet and making so many changes and still no luck. I will resume play when everything is fixed.

+1000000 - Uninstalled until further notice.
 
Mine seems to be working 100% now. Enjoying it immensely except for the fucking dolphin diving!

Now all that remains to be done is foe WebAfrica to hurry the hell up and get the shit sorted here in Jhb so that I can play on Jhb servers. I can play on CPT servers without any issue, but when I connect to a Jhb server, 400ms.
 
I might have a problem with my Black Ops. Has anyone been able to join a Wager match? I tried last night and they said the server is full? Has anyone been able to play the gun game etc? I have been keen to play those games but i have not been able to connect as yet?
 
Lag is fine for me too. But I guess having a fast line really does help. But from what I can tell, the lag seems a little better. Now, only to find the actual servers.
 
I had a 384 line, the minute i jumped to a 4mb line, things became playable, even when the patch came out..it did'nt help with my 384 line, it did allow me to play but i had to wait atleast 2 minutes in the begining of a game before my ping dropped down from 999 (and no i was not with telkom, i was using IS bandwith), the general trend that i have noticed is that in the first few minutes ppl with 384 lines sit on 999 ping, this says to me that its infact the game as explained in Nic's article(live stat streaming), it makes a huge amount of sense since 384 lines have a poor upload speed..hopefully with a patch ppl who have 384 lines can play lag free also, i noticed also that ppl with 512 lines don't seem to have this issue...ie they have a fair upload speed, either 384 lines can't handle the game(unlinkley) or the game itself requires adjustment ie a patch

Indeed, it makes sense. Considering that there is constant strain on a 384 line with uploading the stats and ensuring that it is being streamed live, means less bandwidth for the actual game. Hopefully they make some form of alteration that removes the live stats streaming. People on 4mb lines experience fewer problems, however they do still experience some. Even on my 10mb line I sometimes experience a slight spike. If it's not that then its FPS lag or something
 
Ok, WebAfrica has apparently received their hardware to enable the peering at Jinx, but now there is some other issue outside their control. Waiting for updates.

I want to give it a go as well, but if I click on wager, I don't see any servers there. I just thought that we didn't have any. :confused:
