[Info] Black Ops Lag & Connection Issues

[[MPGH]master131]

As you may already know, Black Ops currently has multiple flaws such as lag and connection issues. Nothing has been said from Treyarch yet as the game has just come out.

There is a whopping 24 page 'complaint' thread over at the Steam forums that you can find here. There are a few fixes circulating around making SP work properly. These are the fixes:

POSSIBLE FIX
1) Run Steam in Offline mode.
2) Start Black Ops.
3) End the steam.exe process.

1) Set Steam's priority to low.
2) Start Black Ops.

There is an official status page for Black Ops that you can find here.
As of now, the game is at 'Defcon 5' which means there are no problems.

All systems are green and Call of Duty: Black Ops online services are fully operational.

Not sure if the above is really true or not....

The game seems to be utilizing too much CPU power and not enough RAM and GPU power. Players with super hardcore gaming computers that are way above the minimum requirements are even experiencing these problems. Since the size of beta testers weren't so large, this was probably not expected to happen. On the menu screen, the game drains 80% CPU usage while in-game, it uses 12-30% CPU. This unbalanced utilization might be an engine bug.

Please do not make anymore threads regarding to this matter as Treyarch are probably working hard to tackle these issues. Keep all problems regarding to this here and do not spam this thread with things like 'Treyarch suck', etc.

Thanks,

Yes, this is VERY dissapointing and will not go down well. Currently im following the pirate bay for people that are trying to crack the game as we speak but i guess that wont do much as I have already played single player in windowed mode while ending steam.exe with around 13FPS. I hope a patch is released soon because this is just ridiculous,

Remember to take into mind that Gameservers is trash, and the servers are under incredible strain right now, and will be for a long long time to come. So even when Treyarch fixes up this lag business occurring in game, the net lag will continue.

This is what happens when you let consoles run things.

I play on MP on 800x600, everything on low and i get 40fps and framedrops. Also a shitload of lag, but thats because the servers suck. On MW2 i can play it on highest res and everything on max. I know this aint mw2 but still, i should have arround 60fps

Yes I know this, but im sure Gameservers isnt to blame for the 15fps i get in singleplayer...

No thats Treyarch/Activisions business not giving a damn about the PC. Proper testing would have easily spotted such a huge bug, but they didnt bother with a test, and this was never seen until launch.

btw i dont get that error in the video,
mine runs smooth besides obvious high ping.

ITS BECAUSE NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS GAME, = MORE LAG,

MORE PEOPLe = LESS LAG.

Updated status according to the BO website. Turns out I had XBOX360 selected. / Anyway, I don't really think it should be at Defcon 5 tbh.

less people with the game on pc = worse ping, youll be connecting all overseas just for 1 game, but with more people buying the games, around ur area, ur ping will decrease...

Haha saw that when I first went to the sight, but Im really not worried about the whole multiplayer lag at first, the whole graphical lag issue of the game NEEDS to be fixed. Then people can patiently play single player whiel they fix multi

Pretty sure that will only apply to MW2 match making. Dedi servers wont have to worry about that and from what ive seen so far most aussie servers are packed.

Basically the games got both lag problems, connection lag online and fps lag. gameservers.com don't have anything to do with the fps lag its the game itself. Treyarch should really be releasing a patch very soon fixing this.

no trust me it has alot to do with gameservers.com they are not equipped to host 50000+ servers witch is about how many servers have been rented for Black ops through game servers
