Remaining loud, and continualy posting the same whine posts are two different things and tbh im sick of the whining posts, only been on here for a few hours and im bored with them already.

[PUGS1688]

I'm reaching the point where I am just going to scream until I get a refund. This is so unfair. I know the game works for some people, but for the majority of us, the game is unplayable and flat out broken. It's not fair that we pay $60 for a broken game that simply doesn't work.

[depzoo]

then don't be here. we all paid the full price for the game and most of us still can't play it. the quick fix worked for some people so theres less complaint --> less pressure on dev team --> less willing to fix it.

and honestly, we would all shut up if they made a post saying they know and they work on it and that approximately when its going to be out.

[YahooElite]

Yes we all, well most of us paid full price for the game.

But if you think you can localize and fix specific issues faster then the devs can, then maybe YOU should be working for Treyarch instead of the current people that work for them.

GIVE THEM TIME, jesus christ people.

AND THEY DO Know about the ♥♥♥♥ing issues.

You CANT i repeat CANT give a damn deadline for a patch for issues like BO is having.

If you think you can make a patch faster then them and seek out issues faster then you go apply to work for Treyarch, Otherwise STFU and let them do their ♥♥♥♥ing jobs!

god damn, just like a bunch of females that didnt get the diamond ring they wanted for their wedding! CHILL OUT

no offense ladies btw, just making a point.

[hooligan)(uk]

It's Activision. They have your money and that's all that matters. Why lose profit by catering to the tiny PC CoD community? (Compared to Consoles). What's your shouting going to do? Or do you not know what Kotick is like.

The developers probably forgot how to code properly for PC anyway, too used to Consoles and their one set of hardware.

[Aphrodite]

Don't know about anyone else, but the stuttering to me isn't an FPS drop at all, it's mini-freezes all together.. might even only be for a half a second but when you run in to an enemy and get half a second freeze, you're done.

Biggest problem I've had, which only started a day ago or so is 'Fatal Error' crashes every round, or every other round at best.

[kokonut10]

If I remember right, MW2 released with a bunch of issues as well. Just give the devs time, they're working on them.

Right?

[GoldPush]

What I find really weird is that my game was flawless on release day and up until fri/early sat (CET).

i7 920
6gb ram triple chan
Radeon 5870

1900x1200 with no AA, bilinear, low textures and no shadows.

With that it ran smooth all the time, extremely few places dropped below 91 FPS on cg_drawFps 1 (com_maxFps 85), now though I'm not feeling any stutter/lag but even if FPS counter shows 91 FPS it FEELS like I'm playing with 60ish (it's not as smooth as it should feel by far) and the game drops a lot more down below 91 (85) down to 40-50-60 places.

So the patches made my game go from YAY to ..... ♥♥♥♥ me.

[Riku98523]

Actually I'm pretty sure most people can play the game. There would be a lot more threads than there are (even though there are a lot) if majority couldn't play it. Worked for me out of the box so meh.

[swoop223]

+1

I tend to agree, if treyarch made this a priority they would have flagged online status as sub-par and not fully working like they've done since release date.

The best part is that they can get away with crap like this, they took our money but they aren't enforced to make up for their mistakes.

Hopefully one day USA will alter their laws (sad thing) so game companies are forced to release a full functional product.

[Golradir]

wrong forum. they don't come around here. the official forums is the only one they read.

i would go there, but at the age thingie i typed 10 instead of 19, so i cant acces it and im to lazy to fix it :rolleyes:

[Slaughter687]

Yeah we do. This is seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ even with the semi-fix of turning vsync on and shadows off I get random lock ups and sometimes have to ctrl alt del out of game.

This is just pathetic.

[YahooElite]

lolumad?

the devs made the game gold at least a month ago, and by that time they knew the pc release will be crap. still they did nothing. classy devs make 0day patches. read about it.

Why would i be mad? i havent had any issues with the game except for the minor 3 second freezing issue in Multiplayer, and even that depends on the server, not every server did that for me and now it doesnt happen at all now that the servers appear to be fixed, for me anyway.

Yes it was annoying at times to get killed while the freeze takes place, but did i come on here and ♥♥♥♥♥ about it constantly? no i didnt.

When your a PC Gamer with ANY kind of issue, you take the good with the bad. ive played FPS games that had stuttering due to lag because the server i was playing on was in a different country, did i get mad about it? No i didnt.

When ♥♥♥♥ like that happens, you adapt and anticipate and thats what i do, i dont let ♥♥♥♥ like that tick me off, i just play and enjoy the game.

Now i understand that some people arent that lucky, nor experienced, but theres just some ♥♥♥♥ you have to put up with until the issues get fixed.

PC doesnt stand for "Perfect Console" last i checked, and PCs have ALOT more hardware configurations then your "Perfect lil Consoles" do.

When you port something from a console to a "PC" 9 outta 10 times theres going to be issues from the start.

Thats Life, get over it.

[Deadcell729]

While your intentions may be good, posting over and over again about this topic probably won't change a thing. They are clearly aware of the issue, and while this should have been worked out before the game was ever released, they are not going to change.

[jedediahpelland]

They should just take the game as it is back to development and fix it then restamp new discs. But of course that would never happen. The real money is in the console versions anyway.

But you can't prove or disprove that all of them are feeling satisfied with the choppy frame rate and lags.

I'm loud when I feel I need to be, but in this situation I give them some time to fix the problems even more (1st patch improved things a lot for me, but it's still not like it should be), so I don't feel the need right now to be loud.. Most important thing is good communication by Treyarch about what they are doing (did they?).. If they don't communicate enough a lot of people will continue to complain.. They need to tell us that they are working on a fix, even better tell us what they think the problem is and if they think they can fix it.. If they do that, they show they care, and most people will shut up..

In the end I think it will be fixed and BO can become a great PC online FPS game, because I see no reason why every other CoD using the same engine can run fine on the same PC's but BO cannot.. So again best thing Treyarch can do now is release some news (today being monday the 1st workingday after releaseweek) that they heard us and are working on a fix.. Then people need to be patient aswell, these patches are not made in a day or 2 (need testing etc).. Worst thing they can do is not tell us anything, be quiet for weeks with no more new patches at all and release news about some paid DLC first.. That would be really bad PR.. But I think (read: I hope) they will be smart..

If the disk is actually broken (i.e. the PC cant read it, which I doubt since you have the game on your PC) you have a case.

If it's a case of "my game wont run well since it isnt optimized", that's fraud, bro.

(To clarify, the reason that defence doesn't count is because the game code is fixed for every disk, meaning there is no "working" and "broken" physically, just "as standard".)

[pr0faker]

Most games run pretty smooth, some servers are laggy/lagspikes. still not a permanent fix. What's more annoying is that the game freezes up pretty often, textures go black, engine flaws like warping bodies, bouncing around or just disappearing, water disappearing after you shoot at it and sometimes sound going off. Still the cpu stutter isn't fixed because I see that the cpu is often 100% used, memory 72%.
Also server connection is slow and irratic at best. And why must I reload the whole list every time I cancel a connection? Loading the list isnt very slow but it does take time...

The game itself is a good cod game, I like it and gameplay is pretty balanced, some maps are better than others but still.

[zezzex]

according to one of the developers twitter account... http://twitter.com/#!/pcdev

"Still super busy in the dev cave. Not stopping. Keep talking. We're listening. Patches incoming. Frag on."

and

"We have some nice optimizations for better FPS going into QA tomorrow."

That was yesterday, so they should start testing their patch today. Soon people...real soon...

[BlueSmiley]

Every game runs great on my laptop. Even Battlefield Bad Company 2.
But still, this game manages to stutter & crash regularly.
I was enable to play 1 game without any lags or stutters yesterday with the graphics on high. And I already saw this game was playing better than Modern Warfare 2, so now I'm totally waiting on THE REAL FIX.
Today, I tried to play the game on lowest graphics and I stuttered from the first second till the last. (till the game crashed)
C'mon TreyArch! We paid the same price for it as all the rest of the people so fix our problems too!

/huge disappoint

[maximuskain]

I'm sooooo tired of complaining so lets just put it this way. We bought the game in its BETA format and the real release of this game is when the patch is going to be released.

So that would mean around Thursday or Friday this week, probably. Biggest game launched and so filled with controversy. At least the gaming industry is catching up with Hollywood.

[depzoo]

so i see the forums is on the verge of acknowledging the state of the game, and that it may not be fixed. a lot of trollers arrived insted who brag that their codbo works fine since release. we cant let them get away with this! demand action!

so: BUMP! BUMP AND RAGE TILL THE GAME WORKS!!!

But if you think you can localize and fix specific issues faster then the devs can, then maybe YOU should be working for Treyarch instead of the current people that work for them.

GIVE THEM TIME, jesus christ people.

AND THEY DO Know about the ♥♥♥♥ing issues.

You CANT i repeat CANT give a damn deadline for a patch for issues like BO is having.

If you think you can make a patch faster then them and seek out issues faster then you go apply to work for Treyarch, Otherwise STFU and let them do their ♥♥♥♥ing jobs!

god damn, just like a bunch of females that didnt get the diamond ring they wanted for their wedding! CHILL OUT

no offense ladies btw, just making a point.

Let them do their jobs? Like they did when they were releasing a game that's completely unplayable for most?
We're not talking a few bugs, people expect them.
We're talking a game that's an absolute piece of ♥♥♥♥ for the PC.
There can be no excuses from Treyarch for this level of incompetence - Hey, I might not be able to fix this quicker than Treyarch, but I'm sure I couldn't have done a worse job.

Yeah, nice one.

Remain loud but keep it mature. There's a difference between sharing your issues and whining about them. All I've seen is a majority of threads full of hearts and threats towards two companies. It's getting old guys. We understand that a lot of you are having issues, but whining doesn't fix it. Keep it clean. Keep it mature. Your issues will likely get fixed. And if you really think they won't? Accept your $60 loss and move on.

Now that we've got that out of the way, I agree with the OP, the issues the game is having should be heard from the guys that can't play.

[aphex187]

Will never ever buy another COD game ever!

[playaflava]

comparing a diamond ring to black ops? lol. When you think you have seen it all.This feels more like getting ripped off by the low down weed dealer that you think is gonna give u a sweet bag. Paying for a bag of 30's but you get some dirt headache weed instead.

keep this on top until we can play with the fickin sp campaign, the ♥♥♥♥in zombie mode and the ♥♥♥♥in multiplayer, so the ♥♥♥♥IN GAME!

edit: the devs told us to be patient, a lot of daddy's boys here on forums told us to be patient (whose game works by the way), they told us the patch is coming, they told us that work needs time.

We waited. we waited for the release day. we waited for the hotfix, we waited for the first patch and then the second patch. we got screwed. we waited ENOUGH!
So if anyone who gets the bright idea here to tell us to be patient STFU! FIX THE GAME NOW!

also: 100th comment lol.

[Darkzealot]

[SkullCracker]

I'm reaching the point where I am just going to scream until I get a refund. This is so unfair. I know the game works for some people, but for the majority of us, the game is unplayable and flat out broken. It's not fair that we pay $60 for a broken game that simply doesn't work.

I'm giving it till the end of the month. If it's not fixed I will be contacting Activision for a full refund. My reason for this is that it plays just fine on the 360. I know this because I have the game for the crap console. Plus I've dealt with this crap from devs and publishers for to long. If they can't make a working game for the PC let someone else do it that can. No need for the majority of people to wait to play. You name one product you pay for that if it doesn't work you have to wait. None because if it didn't work your taking it back. That's why I can't understand why so many think this crap is ok and have no problem waiting.

Now here's a good idea. When a game comes out we are given the chance to test it before they take our money. Since they don't want to offer any demos anymore this has to happen. But this is why demos have more or less not been made an option anymore with some games. They know when they have your money it's difficult to get it back.

Yes you should let them know there is still a problem. But if your going to just complain here then obviously you don't know what your talking about. If you want them to know what going on, you have to go through the right channels. Just complaining on a forum that they probably don't view often( might not even look at all) is wasting your time and mine. Send them a letter or email w/ a petition of people who are also going through the same problems.
Don't think complaining on here is gonna solve anything, its like if you cry enough problems will be solved... thats the thinking of a cry baby...

Such a small percentage of you still can't play the game.
Oh I pity you all.

[Slice2279]

So Black Ops runs worse for me now after the latest patch. It ran pretty much fine for me since the first time they addressed the CPU problem, but now it runs worse.

I have an AMD Phenom II X4 920 at 2.8 GHz, 2 GeForce 9800GTs in SLI, and 4 GB of RAM.

I get fairly constant 60 FPS, besides the stuttering, which is making me want to stop playing this game. Its frustrating when you repeatedly get killed because of fraction of a second stuttering while aiming or trying to track a moving target!

as long as they fix everything in the next 2 or 3 months im fine with that (even if the game should have been bug free from day 1)

[Mac O'Connor]

"give them time" nah, this game was released broken.

If iam not mistaken there have been 2 patches in the last 3 weeks.But they know what problems there are.And they know about the problems before the game wos even out.

So there should have been patch on day one!

So they need to fix the urgent issues soon.

They know the reason for the lag and two weeks are more than enough to fix it.

[Frederic29]

They know the reason for the lag and two weeks are more than enough to fix it.

Wrong, they had already more than 4+ Weeks to fix the lag but they didn't until now.
Why over 4 Weeks? 2 weeks since the game launched PLUS about 2 or 3 weeks since the gold master (The DVD your hardcopy was made from) went to the pressroom.

And believe me or not: no developer or QA can just oversee those serious architectural flaws which the PC version actually has. Obviously the release date had to be held under any circumstances.

Potential Conversation
Treyarch: "we need more time for the PC version"
Activision: "We already postponed the release once, we'll not do it again. We need the money for our Q4 results. Our shareholders want the money NOW. No matter if the game's broken or not. Let's just fill our pockets and pretend we dind't know the bugs. Let's just take our customers for fools!"

i highly doubt you've gone through every channel. have you tried Giant Bomb, they are a respected in their field and know more people in the industry than you. i'm almost certain if even half of you wrote to them or GiantBombCast, you would be doing more for your cause than complaining on the board( which is read mainly if not only by your peers). Have you tried getting people together to write actual letters to Treyarch rather than emails. Show them how many of you are having issues, sending an actual letter will only cost your $1-2 at most. But don't write letters that seem to be written by a bunch of kids. Write something constructive rather than a 2 page letter basically calling them a holes for releasing a "broken" game.


on a side note. in my opinion the game isn't broken unless no one can play. yea they messed up on the minimum specs and the game itself doesn't run efficiently. but there are lots of people playing it. so its not broken, its just not efficient. also those w/ the top line gtx 400 series that can't play. those cards were having issues w/ SC2 as well. i think nvidia just needs to just work out some bugs on their end w/ the drivers. IMHO.

this topic is not for you then. appreciate your manner though. but you see, we paid for the game and cant play it. when you buy anything else then a cod:bo in the real world and it doesnt work, you get your money back or a working product in exchane, that stands for everything. well maybe except edible stuff.

remember when nvidia screwed up their geforce cards and a lot of people had it overheating and freezing the system even in idle? there were lots of people who didnt have that, but there were a considerable amount of broken cards, guess wat? nvidia called back those series. cause this is what you do when you screw up. you compensate.
failarch needs to compensate us. you see, i cant run the game. i start it but it doesnt start. if i burn 60 $ on fire i would have gotten the same results, except that i wouldnt even leave the house.
think about that.

sorry to break this to you, but we dont trust failarch anymore.

we need to remind them, and need to do it hard. and they need to start communicating with us very very frequently, or they will be an object of even more ridicule and distrust, which they will never recover from. and thats a lose-lose for everyone.

Blacks Oops is what it should be called. Support the PIRATES for this game as they freakin' deserve it.

I deserve to pirate this game as my original PC version doesn't work!!!!!

Would you believe I even tired the Activision support site. You know what they suggested? They asked for DXDIAG, after sending it to them, they told me to adjust settings, driver updates etc. After telling them I already did it, there was no reply. Damn piece of trash people can't even get their freakin' game right! Their support are even bigger dumb @$$e$.

Alas it sucks. For those wanting to buy the game for single player, MW2 is WWAAAYYY better than this piece of crap story. I'm halfway through the game and with all the flash and flare I can't understand what was happening. As for gameplay, there is nothing here that hasn't been done before. I don't know how much Activision paid those sites to get a good review but honestly, they doesn't deserve their $360M.

Yeah guys, this thread needs to be here. Remember the MW2 forums upon release? Threads about 'noob tubing' or lag or unfair tactics or whatever. That's the way it should be, players ranting about the game like they always do!

But instead, people are talking more about stuttering and performance issues than anything else by a long shot. I'd gather that for the people whose PC's run the game fine, they'd almost have better luck hanging out the BO console forums to actually, you know, talk about the game itself!

You CANT i repeat CANT give a damn deadline for a patch for issues like BO is having.

If you think you can make a patch faster then them and seek out issues faster then you go apply to work for Treyarch, Otherwise STFU and let them do their ♥♥♥♥ing jobs!

god damn, just like a bunch of females that didnt get the diamond ring they wanted for their wedding! CHILL OUT

no offense ladies btw, just making a point.

Do you expect us to give them more time, they already have had 3 weeks and the only thing they have done is made the game even worse ? (after 3 patch)
It should not even be possible to release a game in that condition, deadline or not, i'd rather wait a couple of weeks extra for a playable BO than receive a broken game and dont get a patch.


Treyarch dont keep us up-tp-date, they just care for consoles, and i personally cant understand how they get away with this scam so cheap, they should have been in court...

I must say, I expected all this to have been fixed by now and been old news. It really is surprising and disappointing.

At least after the first patch, though I was playing on low settings, I was able to maintain 100+ fps with rarely a hitch. After the latest "fix" rolled out, I get a lot of stuttering even when I have a high framerate. And yeah, I've tried re-creating my config file after the patch and it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

[ac_york]

I must say, I expected all this to have been fixed by now and been old news. It really is surprising and disappointing.

Very disappointing. I really wish there was a rollback to the first patch so I can avoid the second pos patch altogether, that one seemed to wreck the whole game for me.

[free187s]

It's a conspiracy. Treyarch is working with hardware companies to try an convince gamers to upgrade during the holidays...

Naw, but really, they need to get back to work after their thanksgiving vacation.

Sad thing is, Black Ops make MW2 look really polished. Quad core and 6870 here with stuttering.

[Whippy]

Sad thing is, Black Ops make MW2 look really polished. Quad core and 6870 here with stuttering.

That is sad.

But what is more sad is that people bought this game blindly EVEN AFTER they got it good from IW/Activision on MW2....I hate to say "I told you so", but I wont (I will insinuate it). Did you think that Treyarch or Activision learned from IW's "failure"? I hate to make another prediction (I am lying), but I believe that the product that most of you have which is somewhat non-functional, will remain that way.

[No_God]

Oh whats this? Too many pages - keep bumping until patched.

[mudflaps]

buy from amazon or a similar place. it is cheaper there and if the "product" does not work on a system that passes all requirements then you will get a refund. steam.... Im sure are bsing people telling them that they do not do refunds.

[erratik]

why are they taking so long to fix this? it's a joke.

After the couple of updates we had I can just about play singleplayer ok now with only a few stutters and freezes, but the multiplayer is still crap. How long has this been out now..what 3 weeks? and i still can't even play MP. wtf is that about. my system isn't even that bad. cmon treyarch it's about time you fixed this ♥♥♥♥.

Rolling back to XP is not a solution, it's a BAD JOKE!

On top of being unenjoyable at the moment, Who's genius idea was it to remove the ability to play with friends? It's honestly mind boggling. How could a professional development team feed us this sh&t.

Look at the Stats page, 2 weeks ago black ops multiplayer had peaks of over 130,000 and for the past 4 days it hasn't had over 65,000.
That shows many of us have moved on to other games as treyarch and steam both dont listen and dont care about the PC community. Its all about Consoles and money!

Who seriously gives a ♥♥♥♥ about this game anymore.
I got in a clean 35 hours before they patched it and made it unplayable.

But to tell the truth 35 hours is all this game is good for.
The graphics on Max are old and tired.
The maps are small and repetative.
Evreything is already unlocked/bought . (I am not doing prestage for face paint!)

There really is no reason for me to play this game anymore when there are far better out there.

We all got sucked in.... they got their $360 million record.
And killed the COD franchise in the process.

Because in 2-3 years from now all I am going to remember about COD is this boring turd stain of a game that they broke with a patcth.

COD $90 for 35 hours = FAIL.
BFBC2 $90 for 130 hours and about to go more with new maps = GREAT.
ARMA2 $90 for 100 hours and still going with mods = GREAT.


I dont fee ripped off.... But never again for COD for me....

This is exactly how I feel. I don't care about a patch coming out, or about free DLC as an apology (Ha! As if!), or even about the responsible parties actually admitting that they did something wrong. All I care about now is making sure these people don't ever get my money again.

i hope they do their jobs and fix this .... total ripoff this games is ... if we knew about this before they launched it i wonder how many peple would have bought it :)

Hah! my Black ops is running smoothly, only a crash every 3 hours or sumthing other than that I kick ♥♥♥. If you want to remain loud go to Black ops official forum.
www.callofduty.com/blackops

[crofalcon]

well this is just getting sad now...
It's almost been a month since the game was released now, and I still do not even want to launch the game before I see a patch updating my game.
First I had ~100FPS on max settings with stuttering every sec or so, but after one of the patches It's just flat 20fps or some s#it like that...
Oh well, maybe next year we actually get something we pay for :/

[GodXerxces]

This game is one of the worst ever. It has potential, but needs to be completely recoded. It used 80%CPU and 20%GPU which is stupid by todays standards. I like how some people are like "My game runs great except for some stutter now and then". Um, that does not qualify as running great. Even then, a lot of those people have to play with low setting and tweak the crap out of the game.

[melterx12]

i agree. its ♥♥♥♥ing bull♥♥♥♥ that they make one decent patch that doesnt even fix all the problems and in some cases actually made problems worse. never the less they think their work is done and hafvent heard any news about more patches for weeks now.

[neilio42]

Yes we all, well most of us paid full price for the game.

But if you think you can localize and fix specific issues faster then the devs can, then maybe YOU should be working for Treyarch instead of the current people that work for them.

GIVE THEM TIME, jesus christ people.

AND THEY DO Know about the ♥♥♥♥ing issues.

no offense ladies btw, just making a point.

I'm sure you'd be upset if you went to a restaurant, ordered pancakes and the brought you out pancake batter... Many people view this as an unfinished product.

It works [mosthly] okay for me. But I bought this game for my dad, too. MP doesn't work crap for him. And he isn't as technically savvy as others to fix it or find a work around.

So instead of you whining that other people are whining, maybe you can just put yourself in their shoes.

First of all, they released game, that was so bugged like GTA4!!!
LIke what they were thinking when they released it....it will be ok? HAve they tested it at all?
And then they cant fix it in a month? Are you kidding me in a month?
Seriously, when they wontm fix until 9th of December Im not gonna buy any more games from activision or treyarch....
Even when they will i wont buy games until they will be fully fixed...
Dammit!

Still stuttering since day one.

[grimgard]

Still stuttering but your posting on the wrong forums. They will never see this.

[Freemon]

Trolling and whining on the forums is one thing. That takes people nowhere.

Properly helping them tracking down and fixing the issue by sending them your specs (dxdiag) and detailed info on your problem will surely help them. Don't they have a support channel, email or something like that?

IF loads of people with the same problem flood their inbox with info on their problem, they are more likely to speed up the fixing process.

[Mr. NaaH]

I think your missing the point!!!! The point is the game shouldnt have even been released this way, and that after a week there is literally no news or anything from Treyarch about what they are doing or plan to do about it. I have a feeling this will end up with the larger percent of the pc consumers stuck with a broken game and Treyarch and Activision sayin, well sorry, maybe next time.

activision "support" discussion thread...

Customer 12/02/2010 12:20 PM installed directx 9.0c from link to microsoft on your support page - worse stuttering even on initial startup menu.
no anti-virus istalled except windows 7 security essentials

THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. FIX IT OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.

i fail to see how disabling all running programs (and exposing my PC to virus and hacker risk), opening ports in my modem (and exposing my PC to virus and hacker risk) etc is part of the "activision experience" when buying a new game. surely this should work out of the box? if it needs more RAM, SAY SO! if it needs a higher spec PC, SAY SO! just don't keep telling me to fiddle with things on my otherwise perfectly fine computer while your so called technical department try to figure out where they screwed up so badly.

Response (Thien Nguyen) 12/02/2010 07:24 AM
Hello,

Do you use any anti-virus/firewall programs on your PC? Have you already tried installing the DirectX executable using the link found on our support website? Go ahead and verify the integrity of the game cache through your Steam client. You can do this by:

1. Right click on the game and select the "properties" option from the Steam games list.
2. Select the "Local Files" tab.
3. Select the "verify integrity of game cache..." option.

Test the game again. Also, try defragmenting your cache files. Do the following:

1) Right-click on Call of Duty: Black Ops - Multiplayer and select properties.
2) Select the Local Files tab.
3) Click the Defragment Cache Files button.

Customer 12/01/2010 10:23 AM i tried all of that before submitting a tech support question - no difference. i have not sent another dxdiag as there is no change to the system.

the crash occurs most in the "custom classes" menu prior to getting in to a game. I have also noticed that in game there is a lot of stutter and the occasional crash when playing. it does not seem to matter which game type i.e. CTF, HQ, TDM, DOM etc

Response (Thien Nguyen) 12/01/2010 03:37 AM Hello,

Does this occur for you on all match types online?

Do you use any anti-virus/firewall programs on your PC? You may have conflicting programs running in the background, shutdown your background programs using the following procedure:

Windows will have some programs pre loading without prompting you. You can use the system configuration utility in Windows XP and Windows Vista/7 to tell windows not to pre-load these background programs that can interfere with the game.

1. Go to your start button and select RUN and in the box labeled OPEN type MSCONFIG and press the OK button. (Windows Key + R brings up the box)
2. Click on the tab that reads SERVICES
3. Check the box that reads "Hide all Microsoft Services"
4. Click on the button that reads "DISABLE ALL"
5. Now click on the tab that reads START UP.
6. Click on the button the reads "DISABLE ALL" and press the OK button. Windows will prompt you to restart the system.
7. Once windows restarts then you may get a message that the SELECTIVE STARTUP has been used.
8. Just close the message box. Now try the game.

Please note that this method will shut down all background applications including your virus scanning software. If you wish to restore your background programs/services, you can select the "Enable All" option instead of the disable all option in the msconfig operation. If the game still does not work properly, then please send us an updated dxdiag file of your system.

Customer 11/27/2010 08:26 AM

Are you overclocking any of the components on your PC? We are going to have to look at your direct X information in order to figure this problem out. Please do the following:

1) Click on the Start button > Run. (Windows Key + R brings up the box)
2) In the box type: dxdiag
3) Click the OK button.
4) DirectX Diagnostic Tool will open, click the Save All Information button at the bottom.
5) Save the dxdiag.txt file to your desktop. NOTE: Skip to step 9 if you are already logged in to your Activision account

9) Click Update Question.
10) Under Attach Additional Documents to Question you will see a Browse button. Click that and browse your computer for the Dxdiag on your desktop. When you locate the file, double click on it.
11) Once the file appears as attached, you can now enter any additional information about your Incident in the Results and/or Additional Information field.
12) Click Submit Update to Question to send the Dxdiag
