Call of Duty: Black Ops PS3 patch 1.05 now live

23 December 2010

The PS3 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops has been updated to version 1.05. Complaints are still running rife in the wake of the 1.04 PS3 patch, and a quick search around the gaming forums of the internet reveals that not many players were happy with patch 1.04.

Patch 1.05 hasn’t fared much better so far, as it seems to address a number of connectivity issues, but hasn’t fixed the numerous other gameplay bugs PS3 players are experiencing. At this point, Black Ops on the PS3 still appears to be painfully broken.

Below is the list of fixes delivered with Call of Duty: Black Ops patch 1.05:

–    Improved party reliability when leaving with party – an additional step in an ongoing series of party improvements continued in the next patch.

–    Improved UPnP functionality – further expands the game’s capability to open NATs on routers with universal plug and play enabled.

–    Enabled mute functionality in Playercards in the pre-game lobby.

–    Enabled kick functionality in party and private match lobbies.

–    Addressed an issue where the pre-game lobby would not always display properly when multiple players leave the lobby after a team split.

–    Addressed an issue where the pre-game lobby would appear stuck on the countdown timer while waiting to balance teams.

Treyarch has also identified a few more issues that they are currently working on fixing:

–    Addressing a freeze that would occur in rare situations involving a combination of high player counts and many killstreaks / explosions occurring simultaneously in a concentrated area.

–    Further improvements to party reliability to address an issue where mixed NAT types connecting and disconnecting can cause players to drop in some situations.

–    Investigating “infinite loading screen” issue reported by some users.
