Call of Duty: Black Ops on the PC has just been patched, thanks to a new update released by its developer, Treyarch, through Valve's Steam digital content distribution platform.
Black Ops was eagerly awaited by millions of gamers around the world, but PC and PlayStation 3 owners were disappointed by lots of glitches and lag throughout the single- and the multiplayer modes of the title. Now, thanks to the increased flexibility of the Steam platform, Treyarch, the studio responsible for Call of Duty: Black Ops, has just released the first patch for the title, which will address some of the complaints filed by PC owners. According to the patch news on Steam, the update seems to be addressed to the multiplayer mode, but lots of reports are coming in that the single-player portion of Black Ops has also been improved significantly. Here's what Steam revealed about the patch: Call of Duty: Black Ops - Multiplayer -Friends fix for join in progress and Friends tab in server browser -Performance improvement for dual and quad core systems It seems that the performance improvement spans to the single-player portion of the game, as lots of users are now saying that the lag they experienced in the campaign has been completely fixed. For those not following the Call of Duty: Black Ops scandal, just as the game was released, PC users, no matter what their configuration, flooded Treyarch with complaints about freezes in the single-player campaign and lag in the multiplayer, even though the Internet connection was working fine. While this new patch seems to have fixed the PC version of Black Ops, the PlayStation 3 one is still plagued by issues, as we reported yesterday. Have you downloaded this patch through Steam? Has your performance increased in Black Ops' modes? Share your new experience with us in the comment section below.

| Comment #1 by: bradsday on 12 Nov 2010, 09:41 UTC | reply to this comment | The patch helped with the stuttering but by no means eliminated. My frames went from 10fps (unplayable) to about 25 (barely playable). Hopefully they will continue to work on improvements for the PC multiplayer game. |
| Comment #2 by: Shame. on 12 Nov 2010, 10:21 UTC | reply to this comment | I did not see any improvement on the multiplayer FPS lag that i keep getting, and im running Nvidias 2nd best GPU, the GTX480 1.5 gig, a i7 870 processor and 8 gigs ddr3 ram...still having plenty of FPS lag that I have never had in any other game... Shame on treyarch and activision for letting the customers do the beta-testers work... |

| Comment #7 by: Drift on 12 Nov 2010, 15:33 UTC | reply to this comment | I too have downloaded the patch and saw a mild improvement in the multi-player. I can now play the game at 1280x1024 medium settings with about 25fps this is still not very good as I can play crysis at 40fps bla bla bla etc...
Still quite a bit of lag during matches... pings in Australia on the servers are still bad average 80-140. |
| Comment #8 by: Flyking on 12 Nov 2010, 20:29 UTC | reply to this comment | Yeah, the lag was considerably lowered, but the load time is still pretty long. I dont know if thats just how the game runs, but im keeping my settings low until i feel comfortable with the online speed. Had some problems when i played last night though, and the computer froze twice...........it just makes me say, "REALLY??????" |

I hope they actually get around to this problem |

| Comment #17 by: ven on 21 Nov 2010, 03:37 UTC | reply to this comment | mine worked fine before patch... after patch game freezes the instant i git into a multiplayer round |
| Comment #18 by: DaJoker on 22 Nov 2010, 01:47 UTC | reply to this comment | my lag is gone on my pc. but my and others have been freezing more and more. Almost to the point of UNINSTALL. it was not freezing before the patch, just after. i am disappointed. I had high hopes for this game. |
| Comment #20 by: JAy on 26 Nov 2010, 03:58 UTC | reply to this comment | sharing, before the patch our pc version of cod 7 was not freezing, shortly after the patch was applied we notice improvement on MP mode but we have experience freezing during game play making it frustrating and start it to get upset. |
| Comment #21 by: player4life on 04 Dec 2010, 04:13 UTC | reply to this comment | The patch has actually work to the lag situation and the game runs smother than before but now it randomly freezes with out any warning. The freeze could be in the very beginning or after playing for 5 minutes. This game needs a lot of help. |
| Comment #22 by: 13LOKKANDLOAD on 23 Dec 2010, 07:42 UTC | reply to this comment | I for one have yet to experience any kind of improvement in lag or screen jitter in certain multiplayer settings. My typical ping rate in games like MW, MW2 WAW are in the 30's and 40's..I haven't been under 50 and more likely hovering in the high 70 or worse.
By no means is my PC a slow system Q6600, 4Gb Ram, Dual 8800GTS 320's in SLI, EVGA Board, Dual SATA II Drives. |
| Comment #23 by: knucklehead77 on 25 Dec 2010, 16:07 UTC | reply to this comment | I just got call of duty black ops today, i installed the fine got that new patch on steam and the game crashes in the first cut scene in single player, but there is also another problem, for some reason the mouse pointer is in the game but the windows mouse loading pointer is over top of it, it does this in MP but the menu will load, but it wont let me click on anything.
Any one else having this problem? |
