1. Most of the time I cant join a server while the server browser is still refreshing.
2. While a friend is playing, the "join session" button in his gamertag is disabled.
3. FOV slider changes just the perspective of the gun, and not the whole view.

We shouldn't have to post anything. If they have a computer with a steam account all they have to do is launch the game and they'll have the horrible performance issues everyone else is dealing with. Waiting on a patch...:rolleyes:

Thats probably because the game is forcing Direct X 9 to run, but you are probably not on windows XP right? What OS are you using?

When I start Black Ops my screen turns black and I have to restart my computer! I have tried to wait for 40 minutes when the black screen comes up but it won't start! The same happens to both multiplayer and singleplayer!

Do you have the same problem? How can I fix this? I have never had this problem with any other game or mw2, and my computer is good.

Help plz!

Mouse Loading Icon in Menu Bug.

The Mouse is movable but the buttons won't work in the main menu.

This bug appears sometimes when starting the game. This is fixed by Logging off and on again/restarting the PC. The game will ask to update your settings because of Hardware Change ( like if I would change my HW while the PC is running ). Press No. Now if you want to quit the game, kill the process and you won't be bothered again next time.

I'm having this problem as well, I can move the mouse, the music is playing, everything seems fine except I can't click on any of the menu options at all. I've tried relogging, restarting the pc, reinstalling the game,etc..All drivers are up to date. I even tried the .cfg fix that's been posted around with no luck. This is happening in both SP and MP.

This is an actual problem many others are having as well, the game is not detecting any sound devices and therefore there is no sound in the game. However, sound is able to play in the intro with treyarch and the woman speaking, but after that, there is no sound at all. There is another thread on steam here with many people with the exact same issue. Please fix it!

No way of manually connecting to a server. Pretty big issue imo.

11-09-2010, 02:09 PM

Why would you report anything to IW? You remember MW2 right?

You realise this is the Steam forums.... IW don't even look at their own forums why the hell would they come here.

You didn't think this through did you?

well, we havent had as many problems as we are having right now.
Plus, i think if some little funny programmer at Treyarch has to fix bugs, maybe hes like one of these guys that start to google for bugs, like they google for glitches and can fix them then...

Unable to join server before list is done refreshing (you cant with every other game on the market, why not this one?)

Many singleplayer bugs, blackscreen after quicktime "spam F" event midway through, checkpoints in infinite kill loops, several levels suffer from random "you killed a civilian" failures even without shooting at all...

Multiplayer lag

Unable to connect to server with rcon

Able to connect to server with Rcon... until the name or password is changed, then cant connect even after a reinstall.

multiplayer hanging on "downloading game info"

unable to locate a specific dedicated server from the browser

unable to kick or boot players without alt+tabbing to rcon

all admin and mod usernames are randomly generated numbers with a,b,c ect tacked on the end (with no way to change them, to my knowledge)

lack of information/documentation on the operation of a dedicated server. (no command lists/ guides to using Rcon properly)

Have you tried the game? It looks worse than cod2 even on max settings. It's almost 2011.

Add to the list: autojoin function only gets you into a full server

Add to the list: Not using GFX card you paid 300£ for.

Add to the list: Using 100% CPU causing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lagg.

Add to the list: Remake the game.

Lag and Freeze in MP. Steam.exe goes into overdrive chewing resource .. leak of somekind?

Single player plays fine as long as steam is logged off.

Is it the Sync to the cloud killing us all?

FAO OP the game has ZERO to do with IW and is not DX10 or DX11.

ofcourse its ♥♥♥♥ing dx10 or dx11 compliant what did you think?

BTW, my singleplayer is chewing up resources BADLY even if i am in offline mode, and then killing steam.exe while process is active.
I got a 3.0Ghz core 2 duo and a gefore 9800GT with 1 gig of VRAM, and i could play MW2 on 2048x1152 with everything pretty maxed out, but now this game is STUTTERING LIKE HELL even on 1024x768

Plus it is still loading in ♥♥♥en DirectX 9, which sucks ♥♥♥ if you are on Vista or 7...

I guess they will bring out a DirectX patch very soon, so we can play it without stuttering in DX10 or 11...

ok so far we got major lagg problems, and stuttering problems.
We got problems with direct x Audio and Video

The audio and video I believe is out of their hands I think I'm wrong though, and to be honest I haven't heard many people with those problems.

And the lag and stuttering issue is the same thing

Watchout, this is going to be a freaking long post.

Hi, first of all, sorry if my english sucks, it's not my main language.

Okay, when I lauch the game everything is perfect, sometimes in the menu it can be laggy, but it's not that bad. The problem is that everytime (EVERYTIME) I want to play the game it :
1. Completely freeze (sometimes during the loading screen)
2. I get a fatal error (most of the time).

When I get the fatal error, my game freezes and a huge wall of text pops up on my screen. I don't really understand what it means and I can't copy paste it or take a screenshot because when I try to open a software it says something like : This software is not made for Windows (Well its not really said like that but I dont remember). When I try to close the fatal error window everything freeze (not only the game even the computer) and I need to reboot my PC.

So I know there is a lot of bugs right now but I can't even play in singleplayer. Do you think it's Treyarch's fault or is it something with my computer?

I have: (I dont really know about computers so I'll try to tell you what I think is important)
Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @2.40 Ghz (4CPUS)
3328 RAM
DirectX 9.0
1024.0 MB
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

At first multiplayer was not even starting, I upgraded my ATI drivers and now it's fine, I upgraded my directX drivers too well I think).

Thanks for at least reading all this.

-------------------------------------

I still don't know if it worked because I got a new error (yay...).

Let me write it:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Assertion failed!

Program: C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe
File: .\base\asyncudsocket.cc
Line: 59

Expression: socket_

[...]

I'll try again but if someone know something that could help me he is welcome .

----------------------------------------

Nah it don't work, I got another fatal error. But I can finally copy paste it (watchout it's going to be a freaking wall of text)

This is what i've got while trying to do a zombie mode solo.

Told you it was a freaking long post.

Now if someone could PLEASE help me. I can't even play this game. You are all whining about lag, but I can't even play to see them.

Slight stutter on MP, with the odd lag spike, all server side from what I see on the lagometer.

Ocassionally I just get disconnected with no connection to Steam or whatever powers it. But my connection is fine and I can join another server straight away.

Oh yeah, whats the big difference between a ranked and unranked server ?

Every time I try to start the game I get this error(text under the popup box says the same thing):

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/7...ckopserror.png

I tried searching the game folder and steam folder for "SysCheck" but found nothing.

any ideas how to fix this?

Little stops playing both single and multiplayer and the videos (cutscenes) in single player much the same with sound cuts for 3-5 seconds, like the menu.

1 LAAAAAG
2 Game matching tries to dump you in full servers.
3 Game matching dumps you back to menu when it fails the above.
4 LAG
5 50/50 chance that trying to connection via server browser will ignore which server you click and do nothing. Poor response time on server browsing preventing intiating the connection.

Watchout, this is going to be a freaking long post.

Try to reinstall the game, seems like its missing many files...

Did you install from CD or download from Steam? Also try verifying the integrity of your game cache for BOTH SP and MP

I installed it with a CD, I already tryed to reinstall it (but I dont know if I uninstalled it completely because after the installation some custom options, like the resolution, were still there) and I also already looked the game cache. All is fine (well that's what steam said). Is it maybe the CD? Should I install it on steam?

But infinity ward is the official partner for bug reporting, not treyarch...

And actually i dont care whos job it is, they should fix it now.
They is not actualy only one group, it could be Valve too...

Infinity Ward has pretty much broke up dude, i dont believe they have anything to do with BO.

And BO is running on a modified World at War engine, Which Treyarch MADE World at War, so yeah.. everything is up to Treyarch

And if the servers are down, TA/GS probably took them down to see whats goin on.

corrupted saves. I got 4 hours in and realized there is a bug in the defend khe sanh area. saved and left game restarted and all saves are gone and will only recognize the save from the beginning of vortuka level. found save files in steam for black ops all of them are still there. So either the saves are corrupted or black ops does not recognize them.

THat really sucks I was like 4 hours in and it looks like i am going to have to restart if I decide to.

In the very last level I get pulled over by that one dude, who punches me in teh face. He suddenly gets cop sunglasses and a STG-44 and then freezes back into his pointing gun at you face. Nothing happens afterwards, he just stares, and a restart fixes nothing.

If you shift+ tab to talk to someone on your steam overlay, when you get back to the game (at least me) i have to press shift everytime i want to aim down the sights, or else it doesnt work (right mouse button)

And ofc stuttering lag and other issues is plaging my game also..

5. Not all servers showing up in the browser

I am currently not having lag issues, but my biggest issue is not being able to see at all when I aim down the sights. You know how it gets fuzzy on the screen around the scope? Well that is all over my screen, covering my scope! So I can't see anything at all when I aim down the sights, it is just a complete blur. Anyone else having this issue?

There is no DX10 or DX11 in COD. They still use DX9. Which is ridiculous by the way.

Also, people saying 'The graphics are ugly' - 'I don't like the sounds', are NOT bugs, nor problems. Some people ... :/

1. Multiplayer - "Disconnected from server due to transmission error" Kicks me back
to main menu....no previous problems with Valve or playing online FPS games.

2. Single Player - No luck entering Zombies "ONLINE" play, reads something like "this
party is no longer active" each time the lobby fills up and sometimes prior to
that

3. Significant lag in MP/SP, though with beyond adequate hardware and networking

4. Perhaps to help pin potential hardware conflicts:
Intel Core i7 920 @3.4Ghz / 6Gb 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5870
Windows 7 64 bit
Running DX11 system wide though Steam installed an unknown version for me as well

Looking forward to the updates, the game has some real potential, good luck!!

1.Cant join a server while the server browser is refreshing, have to wait a couple of minutes to join, very annoying
2.Random stuttering as in lag & FPS
3.FOV is screwed up, even when put FOV to max it still looks unplayable(ridiculously stretched) on eyefinity/NVIDIA surround, which means I wont play it until this is fixed, or I will be asking for my money back.
4.Friends issue: He lives in Australia yet his best ping is 200ms to an American server, I however also live in Australia and dont have this issue at all, I have at least 50 servers showing up with under 50ms ping.

I have no lag, graphics or sound issues, the gorram game just won't run! Steam tells me it's performing the 'First run procedure - Installing Microsoft DirectX for Windows' then next thing I get is a dialogue box saying 'BlackOps.exe has stopped working' (it would have to start working to be able to stop, surely?) My system is up to spec to run the game, DirectX 10 is properly installed and no other game has any problems at all.

Yup I'm really glad I bought this game... having so much fun right now :(

11-09-2010, 09:47 PM

one of the most annoying things for me is the videos that play between loading loading levels/the intro movie and the movie that plays when u quit back to the main menu, the video and audio stutters like a scratched cd, or funnily enough, like i'm trying to play an HD video on a 10yr old pc!

once the levels have loaded it's not too bad but it's not like it should be, the console versions run much smoother, and MW2 (PC) runs much smoother too
maybe it runs perfectly smooth for some but I think if people compare it to MW2 they'd see how jumpy it is

also if i alter graphics settings the whole thing, menus too, slows down to about 1FPS for 5-10 secs

my system is an E8400, 4gb ram, xp, gtx 470

Core 2 duo e6420 @ 2.13ghz
2GB 1066 DDR2

Win XP SP3

I'm seeing numerous Critical Errors. DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error. The latest one is:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error
Program: C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe
File: .\base\asyncudpsocket.cc
Line:59
Expression: Socket_

This appears more and more frequently after following instructions here (https://activision.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/activision.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_sid=VVYcmCek&p_lva=&p_li=&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_page=1&p_cv=&p_pv=2.1748&p_prods=1%2C1748&p_cats=&p_hidden_prods=&prod_lvl1=1&prod_lvl2=1748&p_search_text=&srch_btn_submit=%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0Search%C2%A0%C2% A0%C2%A0&p_new_search=1&p_search_type=answers.search_nl). It is also worth noting that those instructions for a workaround on activision's site did nothing.

On (re)startup, i can launch the game, open browser, find a game, decide to buy and add an attachment last minute, then join the server, and play a round successfully. Sure it's a little choppy, but it's playable. The match ends and a new map is loading when the load bar will stop at about 25%, alt tabbing or pressing ctrl alt del will usually uncover the error prompt.

That's one scenario.

On three seperate occassions, this error has popped up when running by what looks like a hole in the map. It's basically a missing texture of a piece of the polygon mesh that's flat yellow. When I see this or get close to it the game locks and DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error pops up.

Restarting usually fixes the problem temporarily. I've been able to go 3 matches back to back before 1 of the two errors above occurs or just a flat out BSoD decides to happen.

I was a bit puzzled as to why steam unpacked and installed directx 9 when i was already up to date. But so far none of my other games seem to be affected. I can put up with the low FPS and unresponsive mouse input but the crashing every other game is getting out of hand.

3) BlackScreen in SP (loading missions)
4) Sometimes DEADLY Freeze in main menu

terrah1941

11-10-2010, 01:46 AM

1. Random lock ups in servers for 3-4 seconds
2. Lag is bad hit detection is impossible and (yes my internet connection is fine)
3. Connection interrupted happens to often
4. Not being able to join servers just hangs
5. Not being able to join a friend because the button is disabled
6. I get to level 30 log back in later and I lose everything and revert to lvl1

Those are a few of my issues there I have have disabled crossfire also my specs are

1. I lag everytime I'm near someone, I get huge lag, when trying to shoot someone. or are near a shooting person I get lag

2. Friends list and friends join doesnt work, fix it. I have to send invite 6 times before my friends get the invite, and the join game doesn't work. And if the server is full, then we have to invite again! Why not make a queing system? (I miss the friends lobby thing from MW2, why didnt they make something similar?)

3. Why cant I play on the same team as my friends, dont want to be put on a random team

4. Guns sounds are crappy, they sound all the same and sounds like "soft guns". Pistols sounds are crappy, i laugh everytime a pistol is fired, it sounds crappy. Nades explossions (and others explosions) sounds crappy, same for flashbangs.

5. The lag pikes.

6. Fix the issues with the server browser, it isnt always working, didnt find any servers until I turned off hardcore mode in server filters!

7. wager match lags more than other games.

8. Fix the autojoin matches, it only finds full servers.

9. Fix the Crossfire/SLI issues.

10. I cant save servers to my favorites.

11. and yet again the lag in MP mode!!!!

Steam is hindering me from playing Black Ops... make Black Ops able to play without Steam and everything will be fine.

Soulflyer

11-10-2010, 06:11 AM

Well, the lag issue is already discussed...

1. My CPU seems to get really hot when I play the Game (both MP and SP)
2. The Sound in Multiplayer when walking.
a) The Sound is off. You go like 5 steps and only make sound for 1 or 2.
b) Sometimes when you walk on stone, it sounds like sand
(I know, no major bugs, but I find it a bit annoying)
c) Sometimes I make a sound from walking, but it sounds like it is other ppl around me -.-
3. Other performance issues. Game is definitely not well optimized.
4. Maybe I'm just stupid, I try to read most things in the forums and use the search engine, but could be I overread it: Almost everytime I klick on "Wager Match" it says the server is full. Probably because there are so many ppl playing this. So how (if it is even possible) can I start a Wager Match (with selecting the Matchtype) where ppl can join me?
5. Server Browser --> Wager Match shows only sometimes 1-2 servers, but that's it. Else it shows no servers for me. But only for Wager Matches!

8800GT 512MB OC
Windows 7 64-bit

Single player:
-Low frames per second (average 25-40) regardless of graphical settings
-Video/audio stutter every few seconds
These issues occur regardless of whether Steam is running, or has been force closed.

Multiplayer
-Low frames per second (average 25-40) regardless of graphical settings
-Stutter much worse than in single player (making the game unplayable)

There are other issues which others have mentioned as well, but the performance issues are the ones which are preventing me from playing the game.

EDIT: I get stuttering in the game menus, and cutscenes as well.

Funny, i got the EXACT SAME Problems, and i got the EXACT SAME CPU... I think this all is because its not "not well optimised" its just NOT optimised AT ALL... I Think they were like copy&paste the xbox files to the Steam servers, added two crappy exe files and thought that would do the job...
Hey next time: Its ok if the game takes 1 or 2 month more to release but PLEASE. PLEASE TEST IT BEFORE RELEASING omgg -.-
Like Duke nukem forever, theyve been like programming since 20 Years or some :D That is going to be a good game... ^^

OK, as just stated in this thread: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=18494787
This Method is really the right way. Treyarch is forcing the game to only use 1 Gigabyte of our RAM plus it is forcing the game to use like 0.5 GHz of our processing power. These params could be set in the config, but the game is overwriting them IMMEDIATELY. If we find a way to modify these params legaly before treyarch/activision is going to release a patch in twenty years, we probably would not have as many problems as we are having right now. At least tha lagging/fps dropping would be GONE. nuff said. Maybe theres a good developer here, which can help us achieving this!

Apart from the usual problems, my mouse seems to lock up many times: i cannot even turn, or SHOOT for that matter for seconds, sometimes ~15 secs
Like: im running forward, id like to turn, i just run straight where im looking at...then suddenly my viewpoint teleports (jumps there with no transision) This isnt the game's lagging, because i can clearly see othe players, even myself moving during this

Frequency? it happens quite alot

Edit1:

I get the stuttering in sp/mp

40% cpu

I only get a little bit of lag most of the time(non-fps), Otherwise i only have two issues.

1)Half the time all the servers dissapear from my server list, and no amount of refreshes or filtering can bring them back.

2)Nothing shows up in the friends server list.

Otherwise my game runs at a constant 90+ fps, max settings at 1920 x 1200, 90% - 100% GPU usuage, 20% - 25% CPU usage.

This is my problem: Whenever I launch the single or multiplayer, everything works fine. I don't experience lag in the main menus or anything.

BUT, when i am in the main menus, loading a game, starting zombie mode, joining a friend, it doesn't matter what I'm doing, even when I purely stare at the screen, after about 1-2 minutes, I will get the error that says: 'Steam stopped working'. I do not get an error code, or ID. I can't do anything with it. I tried re-installing it from the Disc, re-installing frmo steam. Re-installing STEAM itself and than re-installing it AGAIN. But nothing worked, still the same.

So to make this short: After a certain amount of time I will get an error: 'Steam stopped working'.

Please, help.

Thanks,

Daniel.

I have MAJOR problems when connection to hosts, connecting to the host itself usually takes a good 30 seconds while connecting to the game itself can take up to two and a half minutes, or can be as short as one minute if i am lucky, I also cannot connect for more than one match, when the next match starts my game will start to load it then when it gets to the end it will say i cannot connect to host. I've played MW2 and BF:BC 2 on this computer and have never run into such major issues, its gone on for a few days and over many servers so i know its not just a random bad connection. I use wireless DSL from charter so i have fast internet and should not be having these troubles.

I'm having this problem as well, I can move the mouse, the music is playing, everything seems fine except I can't click on any of the menu options at all. I've tried relogging, restarting the pc, reinstalling the game,etc..All drivers are up to date. I even tried the .cfg fix that's been posted around with no luck. This is happening in both SP and MP.

I'm also having this problem. It usually starts fine and when I get to the menu it still has the loading mouse icon and I can't click but I can scroll over and highlight the menu.

It's nothing major but its something.. On the map that is located on the beach i noticed u can see the entire sun shining right through the mountain line and even if u hide behind cars and other objects it still shows through.. also the navigation through different pages in the menu doesnt work, it has both a back and forward button but pressing both only makes it go forward, quite gay. ummmm when sniping you are not able to hold down shift even if you are not moving when you zoom in, which should be fixed imo.
the rest is fps and spike issues. fresh game though!

Pro perk progress reverts

I have a bug where if i change my kill streaks my pro perks progress reverts back to some point (beginning of session?):o

For example flak jacket pro perk. I had all three pro perk requirements incomplete at the beginning of session. I then go play, complete two requirements and return to create-a-class where i see everything has updated properly. I then go and change my killstreaks, go back to create-a-class and see that i haven't completed any and it's back to where i started! :eek::eek:

This has only happened today and my pro perk hours have gone wasted :o: I'm jarateed! :o

Just saying, after having many, many problems (not even being able to connect to any servers) by trying multiple things like using my MW2 cfg, I decided just to delete it and use a new one created by black ops. Then I noticed how the MW2 cfg always used seta r_multiGpu "0", and seta r_multithreaded_device also at "0", which I was always using at "1" instead. I just tried a single game, and I cannot guarantee it works perfectly, but it reduced lots of stuttering issues for me to actually -not- change the default setting of r_multithreaded_devide "0" but only the r_multiGpu.

Ah yes, by the way my specs:

PC gaming today just breaks my heart. Wonder why consules are so big? Can't stand it.

I love PC gaming. The crap needs to stop.

It's not like consoles are so bad anymore. The main reason as to why consoles were normally hated from PC users was due to assisted-aiming, which is now an option.

Another reason could be dedicated servers, but that's a silly reason.

All in all, PC gaming has gone downhill.
