Their first major patch has arrived for the PC edition via Steam, however, and it's intended to clean up lag issues, as well as a few other annoyances. "We have already deployed a number of updates, and there will be many more to come," a Treyarch representative wrote in a post on the official "Black Ops" forums. Though there will still be more updates to come, but here's what the new and upcoming fixes are taking aim at: LIVE FIXES 11/10 - GameServers.com has bumped sv_maxrate to 25000 across all servers to reduce lag. - GameServers.com continues to improve official server distribution in various worldwide regions. 11/11 - Friends fix for join in progress and Friends tab in server browser. - Performance improvement for dual and quad core. - Improved connectivity with Black Ops Rcon tool. IN PROGRESS - GPU hitching on certain graphics cards. - Incomplete server browser results. - Improvements to Quickmatch joins (results with better ping and reduced lag). - Zombies "The game session is no longer available" error. One step at a time, the multiplayer's getting spit-shined (or getting à la carte procedures in the emergency room, depending on your perspective). But, hey, at least we've all got dedicated servers again, right?[/quote]
Please tell me they also fixed the game randomly freezing for a second or two (not lag, I mean freezing).

That game is over-rated.
[QUOTE=Miskatonic;26025306]That game is over-rated.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's terrible, it's not fun at all. Sure, not the best game ever, still pretty fucking fun. Fun is the point, yeah?
Yeah but I'm tired of the whole cold-war paranoia crap. But it's not like my opinion really matters.

They have a lot to fix. SP and MP stutter like crazy, I can't invite people to private matches, and all online zombie modes don't work for me. There are also a ton of menu bugs and such.
I don't know about the PC version but the Xbox version is great. It's actually fun, unlike MW2.
it's fun but it still feels like a giant $60 beta
[QUOTE=Protocol7;26025781]it's fun but it still feels like a giant $60 beta[/QUOTE] It's a wonder that they wanted to release the game in its current state (then again, they knew there would be a huge buy-in anyway). Infinity Ward may have had the devs test MW2 themselves, but at least they tested it.

[QUOTE=Miskatonic;26027143]You mean it wasn't based on real events?[/QUOTE] You're the one referring to it as if it was
This game still plays as if it was a demanding as Crysis.
If you want a fix; go to X:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Call of Duty Black Ops\Players\Config.cfg And swap the 'r_multigpu' and 'r_multithreaded_device' values (the former is probably '1' when you first check it, and the latter is most likely '0').
Why did you post a picture of the campaign? The lag issues aren't even on the single player, they're on the multiplayer.
