Black Ops PC port is buggy as shit- Destructoid

was playing it alot tonight

seems ok

alot better, still not great FPS still drops and get occasional lag spikes

but at least it's playable


menu's still not working properly (friends invite/favriot servers ect)

There's definately something wrong with the way the game renders. I have a VERY noisy graphics card. Whenever I play ANY game it immediately sounds like I've got the vacuum on. In BLOPS multiplayer though I can't hear a thing. It's silent, like it's hardly being used. No more noise than I get at my desktop. Makes noise in SP though but that has ace frame rates for 2 secs then shit ones for two secs. MP is shit all the time.

Utter fail

I can't get beyond the single player splash screens or multiplayer menus before it freezes completely.

Good job I have Maoams.

Porno sweets!

Glad I gave it a miss now! Hopefully they eventually sort it out by the time its in the Christmas steam sale.

 

[throdgrain]

I hope they do

Must say initially I was confident it was just a blip (or a blop) and would be patched and fixed, but now I'm not so sure.

On my PC the game is actually unplayable, whether on SP or MP.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Patch In The Works - Digital Warfare 24/7 Forums

Not touching the game until patch now. Will just carry on getting a bit of rank in MW2 until then. It's more practice than my usual PS3 trophy-whoring would be

Anyone found a list of how to get pro on the perks in BLOPS ? MW2 just told you which made a bit more sense tbh :/

 

[throdgrain]

I tried it again to day it flooded my internet connection so that I couldnt get onto any servers and when I closed the game even internet explorer didnt work for a bit ....

Go into challenges, select the perk, and you need to complete the 3 challenges for each one to unlock pro.

There's a patch out for multiplayer. It's made it playable for me now. Not great though. Get about 30 fps now which reduces to about 10 in fights. Still get killed a lot because my frame-rate is too low to fire back accurately.

The 'patch' just enables BLOPS to use multiple CPU cores. It doesn't address the issue of the engine using CPU rather than GPU all the time hence the above. Give it a try though, if your system is beefy enough it might make the difference. Me, I'll go back to waiting for next patch.

Did this come via Steam for you? I've not noticed any update. I did see a thing on the steam forums about this, r_multithreadeddevice 1 or something, tried it on my pc made little or no bloody difference.

 

[Wij]

Yep - via Steam.

 

[throdgrain]

Oops tell a lie it has, and SP is now playable, slow but playable. Where I was getting 15-20 fps before I know seem to be getting 35-60, which is a least something of an improvement!

So basically this patch edits your config file which is what most people have already tried?

I hadn't

Between that and the server config patch multiplayer works for me now; but only just.

 

[throdgrain]

The game does play now, though the servers are still lagging. This screenshot is obviously indoors, but you get the picture - it does play now. I noticed that the game had reset to sync every frame automatically, I disabled this again and its all much more playable.

Also /waypointiconwidth 20 and /waypointiconheight 20 makes the target markers look a lot less shit

 

[eksdee]

jeebus. got this on steam tonight without researching potential issues (more fool me) and i basically can't get any servers to show up in the browser... wth? i closed peerblock to run the game, thinking that was the obvious issue -> no dice. halp.

 

[throdgrain]

It's not just you, the servers appear to be down at the moment.

 

[eksdee]

d'oh! yeah, worked fine the rest of the evening. good game! shame my fps sucks (30 or less permanently), but this pc is 4 years old so it has been in need of an update for a while.

 

[throdgrain]

So is mine.

I was playing CoD5 WaW last night, it made 90 fps pretty much solidly, and CoD4 90 fps all the time.

Bearing in mind that a) this is the same bloody engine and b) it looks no better than either of it's predecessors you would expect to have a reasonable fps. Mine goes from the 90 shown in the screenshot down to 45 in places, then back up again. It's really annoying, though I dont think it's that that's causing the lag, I still think that is server side.

SP seems almost (not quite) normal for me since the patch. MP still refuses to use my gfx card at all and chugs along below 30 fps. It's still fucked.

 

[throdgrain]

It's coming along a treat for me now

 

[Wij]

Got my new GTX 460 for my birthday and SP now has an awesome frame rate most of the time BUUUUUUUUUT the lock-ups, thrashing, distorted sounds and freezes now last longer to compensate

So fucking fed up with this shit

 

[Wij]

Throd,

Which config file do you need to edit to put put console tweaks in SP so that they automatically run every time ?

Thought I'd try tweaks on here but don't want to do it every time

Weird system resource usage = heavy lag - Page 95 - Steam Users' Forums

Ta,

Wij

 

[throdgrain]

Easy mate, there's one config called SP and one called MP
