It’s no secret that last month’s Call of Duty: Black Ops launch was not the smoothest affair. A host of game breaking bugs spoilt what was otherwise a very exciting prospect, especially for the PC and PS3 versions, which happen to be the most prominent versions here in SA.<\/p>\n
Since then Treyarch has been patching the game rigorously, but it seems that while each update fixes the game for some, it adds new problems for others. Our own experience with the PC version was that the first patch fixed 90% of the launch issues, while the follow up patch added a variety of new problems and fixed nothing. Other gamers, however, report that the last patch fixed most of the issues. <\/p>\n
It seems that Treyarch just can’t get the game running smoothly for everyone, which is a pity. A new patch for the PS3 version has been revealed, and aims to address the following:<\/p>\n
• Several parties resolved issues with getting unexpectedly disbanded.<\/em><\/p>\n • Additional Measures to Prevent the “Transmission error” and Other disconnects. This was most likely to occure with large parties where clause party members had mixed NAT types.<\/em><\/p>\n • Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to Improve conditions where clause matchmaking users had moderate or strict NAT types.
