Crash/Freeze Thread !!!!

[Bongo87]

If your game is crashing/frezing during MP game post it here. Please write your pc specs too. Most important is GPU,CPU and OS. If you getting any error messages while you quiting the game in task manager write it here aswell.

My problem is since first anti lag patch - friday 12.11.2010

It may help Treyarch to create fast hotfix for this really annyoing problem.

Sofar it looks we have crashes/freezes across all systems and platforms. It happens on all GPU,CPU,OS. No solution sofar. Some people have this problem since release date, some started getting them since first patch and most people after second patch.

Looks really like GAME ISSUE - Fix must come from developers - Treyarch

I've locked up twice since the patch and never before the patch. Performance was fine both before and after the patch.

L4d works fine, however L4D2 crashes after you see the Steam logo (you don't get to the introduction part).

Well it looks like patch fixed nothing. This problem is still here, probably even more people have this random freeze. Any hotfix Treyarch? Or Quake engine is too hard to be fixed?

I dont think they've taken over, I'm under the impression both InfinityFail and Failarch have a contract each to relase a fail COD game ever other year, this year it was Treyfails turn to rip me off $90.


TO THE OP: yes game crashes randomly and no matter what cant finish a round, crashes at the end of every game if not before, "FailOps.exe has stopped working", I only got a stutter here and there before the latest patch(as well as all the other bugs of course).

it seems we all have to task manager it in order to get out, that means the whole program gets F**ked over...

Has anyone had this happen in SP?? I see that everyone including myself has had it happen in MP. I too have no common traits for when it freezes besides the fact that I'm always sprinting, but I do that 99% of the game anyway.

I'm starting to wonder if the EA even give a sh*t about the PC community...

Locked up ever since patch, never before. Lucky to get half a game at the moment. Strangly, I was playing normal mode to get Lighfoot pro (easier to survive death 5 times or whatever in normal) Played a few games over a couple of hours and no problems. As soon as I go back to HC, constantly crashes/freezes.

It locks up randomly, on scores or in game play. In game it locks up usually with a graphical glitch with parts of the graphics missing and strange textures.
On lock up the game must be closed from task manager.

it was mostly working before the patch. Now slow as hell although this is compensated for "by the wait for it to crash and need task manager to clear" which gives some tension back into the game.

I'm just so tired of it crashing. It crashes for absolutely no reason and I'm forced to open task manager to close the game, which closes instantly which leads me to believe there's no issue with my computer but the game itself and errors in the code. It also seems to only happen around enemies.

I have also encountered two other types of error, which seem to have been resolved in the patch since they haven't happened since then. The errors that happened where my game froze, so I went to my desktop and see another Black Ops window open titled either "Black Ops Console" or "DirectX Error".

I hope this helps because to be frank I don't even want to play the game with all the crashes ruining my fun.

I had no problems whatsoever until this patch. Now the game crashes randomly in MP and i have to kill it through the task manager. I also verified the game data several times and it didnt help at all!

[ErikaFoyouji]

If your getting any crashes: Here's what you can try. It may or may not work for you: It has worked for a handful of people I have tried to help, and also not worked for others.

1) Do a complete Windows Update; security, drivers, everything.

2) Go to Steam, right click COD:BO, properties, go to Local Files tab; Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

3) Go to Control Panel > Device Manager. Locate Network Adapters and Display Adapters. Open their properties and make sure you have the latest version. As seen here: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...rdetails-1.jpg Check your Driver Developers website to verify latest drivers.

4) Make sure you have the correct ports opened:

Ports needed open are:

TCP 27014-27050, 3074
UDP: 3478-4380, 27000-27030... This is for both Steam and COD:BO.

5) Then restart computer & Test game.

6) if that doesn't work, disable all anti-virus programs and windows firewall, then test game.

7) If nothing still works, Place the computer in DMZ Mode & Test game. This is done through router settings.

8) If it still doesn't work, Bypass the NAT by disabling DHCP on the router if you have a router/modem combo. OR if they are separate, directly connect the computer to the modem and remove the router. Then Test game.

9) If that doesn't work; Turn off the computer & Turn off the modem, wait at least 2 minutes, boot up the modem, and then boot up the computer and test game. (This step should be done first usually but I'm just gonna put it at 9)

10) If nothing has still worked: Reinstall Steam & reinstall COD:BO. Leave all settings to default & Test game.

11) If nothing above works, you'll have to wait until someone figures it out, or until theres a patch. I believe its a client-side error because its only effecting a handful of people because 100,000+ people don't have this issue. So I'm not sure how a patch will fix this on the games end.

That's all I got for Crash errors.

If your getting any freezing up/stuttering:

1) Go into your graphic settings in-game. make sure your Video Mode (resolution) & refresh rate match your monitors.

2) Then place your texture detail at "low": Many users who had it at High/Ultra/Automatic has this issue and putting it to low/medium got rid of all freezing. Some however it didn't fix it for them, but try it. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z385/Erikafoyouji/Graphicsettings.jpg

3) Try in both windowed mode & fullscreen. Test the game out for at least 45 minutes to see if anything works.

That's all I can help with, best of luck.

[beerbeer]

latest, still freezing like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥

I tried the last two versions of drivers and I still freeze.

Performance-wise, I play great, but it's almost guarenteed to freeze after a while in MP.

Also, the amount of memory it uses shoots up to 1.5 GB when it freezes while it typically uses 1 GB or so.

[Emensi]

As with all of you, I am freezing/crashing as well (not stuttering). It never happened before the last patch (Nov. 19). It has frozen on me twice already. C'mon Treyarch...what was the QA for?

Random crashes since day 1 of release and I always have to use task manager to kill it (usually in the 2nd match, though it's random) & random stutters (LESS Stutters now, as it seems)

[beerbeer]

I've been freezing consistently since the last patch in MP. It seems random, but one thing I noticed tonight. If there's less than 10 or 9 people on the server, I can play for hours without freezing. However, if it's over that number, I'll end up freezing after 10 or 15 mins and forced to CTRL-ALT-DEL out.

Not sure if it's coincidence, but maybe it's server-side in some way or something else other than the obvious?

hmm.. I had no issues before this patch but this is the 4th time I have crashed tonight..

same thing, never really any concerns before patch. now crashing every 10-15 minutes. occasionally "fatal error", more often than not, freeze and then need to end process. sort it out Treyarch!

So i should not join on my favourites servers? Just normal ones from complete browser?

Because i have to admit, that if i join on one of my fav servers my game usually crash, if i choose some random in browser i get no crash. Strange.

If your game is crashing/frezing during MP game post it here. Please write your pc specs too. Most important is GPU,CPU and OS. If you getting any error messages while you quiting the game in task manager write it here aswell.

My problem is since first anti lag patch - friday 12.11.2010

It may help Treyarch to create fast hotfix for this really annyoing problem.

I was running the game FLAWLESSLY, even at 50+ FPS before the last (the 19th i think?) patch. Now I (not exaggerating) CAN NOT FINISH A SINGLE ROUND.

The game freezes randomly, and I have to use the task manager to end it. Sometimes the graphics show some corruption / deformation before the freeze, sometimes everything disappear and i only see the grass and trees and nothing else (no buildings, players, cars...).

Ok - I have only been playing the campaign. I have suffered crashes and freezes - or more accurately dying on the ground and the game continuing around me without me be able to move. Have to force quit and restart from way back and hope it doesn't break in the same position.

HOWEVER now I get to the same freeze point every time - just after killing Weiner (twice) and then the long wobbly walking down corridors - I get punched by the interrogator guy, fall to the floor and freeze - interestingly the guy flicks from having a pistol and no shades to a machine gun and shades then back again and NOTHING happens from then on. Stares at me with gun pointed at me. 3x times the same from start of level. Can't get past it. Thus game is faulty and I'm very angry.

Didnt have issues before the patch, never crashed before, now i cant play multiplayer without crashing (usually after 5-10 mins), same thing as mentioned before - screen freezes with some random textures, can only ctrl alt del to task manager and then out - once i went to task manager and i heard sound back from the game, clicked the game and it miraculously came alive again(never happened again).. i have a quad and my cpu utilization often spikes to 100% on all cores and my hd4870 rarely reaches 50% lol..

[DrakenLord]

plz those of u who know how go to ur event viewer find an error report either application error or application hang double click one look for black ops in one of the lines and check and see if atiumdag.dll is in one of the lines as i think this is the problem. a conflict between something in the patches and the .dll file

How to, Windows 7 :
- Click the windows START menu
- In the search box above it type EVENT VIEWER
- Go into : windows log -> applications
- Scroll down until you find a red icon with ERROR next to it

My error reports look like this :

Faulting application name: BlackOpsMP.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4ce4bd48

Any ATI 4800 users? What driver version you using?

[brownale]

I didn't read all the pages so I don't know if this was mentioned by anyone else.. The game ran flawlessly for me before the patch and after the patch I got lots of stuttering and the game would lock up after a map, two at best, and needed to be killed via task manager.

I stopped the lockups by changing seta r_multithreaded_device "0" to seta r_multithreaded_device "1" in my config_mp.cfg. I changed it in the config.cfg also but not sure if that makes any difference since I havent touched single player as of yet.

The suttering remains though. :/

i'll try that but it confuses me - if i understand correctly, the cfg would make you believe that the game wouldnt utilize all cores if left at ''0'', but the game is already utilizing my 4 cores too much..

sry 'bout the offtopic, its a longshot but i've seen some people reporting they have avira antivirus, and the crashes were gone after uninstaling avira and rebooting - since i also have avira, i'll try that - if any of you have avira, try it.

game crashes a lot (Not responding)

Freezes and crashes for me too. It seems to be totally random - sometimes I can actually play SP for a few minutes or MP for an entire map, but eventually the entire computer just freezes or crashes. Usually this happens quite quickly (e.g. in SP in the bar of the very first scene.)

Performance is not an issue - when the game runs its flawless as long as it doesn't freeze/crash.

CPU use is redicilous: full load on both cores nearly all the time... The latest 'patch' did absolutely nothing for me.

A lot of ATI users seem to be experiencing this. Not saying it's isolated to ATI, but it seems most other users posting here are talking about something else other than the flawless performance > complete freeze > task manager exit. Also, on rare occasions (as others have mentioned), it will rarely unfreeze while I'm in the task manager.

[Prototype]

Getting a lot of freezing now with the last patch but only in multiplayer, Occasionally it may resume after about a minute but by that time I've been disconnected.

Only had 1 freeze before the last patch.

ok guyz who have been crashin lots i have just played 10 rounds of tdm with out a single crash

went on to ati web site(ati users ONLY) downloaded the ati catalyst drivers (62.7mb drivers only)
uninstall graphics drivers i was usin
istalled the 62.7MB drivers

result so far played 10 rounds of tdm go try it and see if it works for u

good luck to all those that have been havin game crashes i hope this works for u

Possible fix to those with the FREEZE problem :

Go into config_mp.cfg and change: seta r_multithreaded_device "0"

To: seta r_multithreaded_device "1"

Please post here if this works for you.

tried that earlier draken and it didnt work

People with similar Rigs experiencing problems need to check their s h i t! It aint the game, it's your PC! None of us have experienced crashes, freezes, stuttering, BSOD, CTD and most important of all lag. Naturally these 3 pc's run flawlessy cause i built them :)

P.S No issues at all before and after the patch. We did see some minor gains in FPS after the patch.

With the amount of people on this thread it is the game thats screewy. :o :mad:

My story. Just got a new computer. Reinstalled LFD2 and MW2, they played great on Friday. Saturdey, got Black Ops, installed in from Steam, freezes up within minutes, both on Single and Multi player. In fact, I can't even control-alt-delete out to the desktop. It freezes up my whole computer. I have to repower the computer. My Nvidia drivers are the most recent as well. When I went back to play LFD2 and MW2, they now freeze up as well. Any suggestions?

[2IS]

hmm I feel like an idiot now..it seems updating from ATI 10.10e to 10.11 has solved my issues.. My framerate is back to smooth and I have not crashed.. yet...

I just updated to 10.11 last night. Haven't played the game enough to conclude it's fixed or still broken yet. Hopefully it's fixed.
