Frequent disconnections

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:53:47 GMT

I keep randomly getting disconnected for no apparent reason. When I try to get back in, it tells me I must be connected to Steam, even though I already am. I log out of Steam and log back in and it still tells me I need to be logged in before playing. I end up having to reboot my computer only to have it disconnect me again 10 - 15 minutes later. My NAT is open and I have the games ports forwarded on my router, there shouldn't be any connection errors on my end.

I have been having this issue since the last two updates. MY game between the hours of 10p-12p cannot connect online. I can play any other time perfectly fine. This has happened every night for atleast a month. Ive reinstalled my game atleast 8 times now. I have verifed game cache daily. I play competitive and matches are at this time. This is honestly driving me nuts. All ports are open as well that are required for running the game. Now since the more recent update it has gotten better but it still randomly kicks me out. I can get in between those times but then it jsut keeps doing the same issue. I have contacted my ISP to make sure there was no issues on there end and they said they have no changes to the network in a while.

PC Controllers.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:49:57 GMT

Hey, so I'm planning to buy Black Ops 2 on PC, but to be honest I really suck with a mouse and keyboard so I'm planning to use a controller.

These are my questions:

1. Can I connect my XBOX controller to my PC? If so, how?

2. Will the Spartan PC Game controller work for Black Ops 2?

Thanks and please respond if you know :3

How do message other players online? And I can't hear other players talk.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:52:19 GMT

I can't hear anyone using their mics. Either they just don't... or...Usually on a console, when you talk or someone talks, the mic iocn next their name in lobby changes it's image indicating that they are talking, that isn't happening with the pc game.

Also how do you message other players online?

Replays not recording to the end? Anyone else experiencing this?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:46:29 GMT

Recently all the games that are recorded are not recorded all the way. When i go to theater mode, it just cuts off at some point midway in game.

No "Win" or "Lose" screen at all.

And its happening since like a few days ago. All the ones before it are recorded just fine.

When i go to the player channel of other players who were in the game, their games are cut off too. wtf is going on?

Match Making & Parties - Prior Ban(s), Excessive Reports, Heuristic Detection

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 21:23:44 GMT

I've been discussing a few ideas to improve annoying aspects of BO2 with Friends I play with on Steam, and we've come up with a few very simple ways to make the majority of the players happier.

Cheaters: First we've observed a very high probability of current cheaters with shady past records on Steam, namely Ban(s) on Record. Now while a few have indeed learned their lesson, well, many clearly have not an continue to cheat in one of many forms including but not limited to AimBots, Wall Hacks, Glitches, etc. Next, unfortunately not all hacks are blatant like Snap-on AimBots, Auto-Fire, etc but are still clearly present i.e. Wall Hacks, Macros, Recoil, etc so players tend to Report those folks rather frequently and no doubt sometimes erroneously; frequency still remains high and typically valid. An easy mechanism to track is RPD Reports Per Day. The Report Cheater button needs teeth, as it is right now and everyone knows it that it's a pacifier so make it a tool. Programming should be able to 'Heuristically Detect' hacks, and though the binary fingerprints aren't confirmed, hence no Ban, the probability is very high.

Parties: Parties and Clans are a fun and enjoyable way to play the game, pubstomp, however against an enemy team of unsuspecting Random's it's the opposite. The problem is in most cases Parties/Clans have an open mic and communicate positions, scorestreaks, etc to a clear unfair advantage to Random Players.

Now if you've read above nowhere am I mentioning KDR or SPM and normal Matchmaking should balance the teams.

Solutions:

Cheaters: Past, present (suspected): RPD & Heuristic Detection are placed via Matchmaking into their own 'special' groups, and Prior Ban(s) Players are prohibited to create a Party, and most legitimate Clans already prohibit memberships of players with Prior Ban(s). Segregate those cheaters. For folks with prior Ban(s) well you should have thought about that beforehand and understand consequences. I/We are tired of looking-up Steam records in-lobby and/or quitting a game mid-game. Non-Banned but suspicious players have a choice to redeem themselves and uninstall Hacks, Macros, quit Glitching, etc thereby their RPD, Heuristic Detection would go down and their accounts moved back to the main group after a period of time.

Parties/Clans: In Open Lobbies all Players in a 'Party' are color coded and Matchmaking first priority is to place Parties vs Parties and if needed Random's on both sides. This alerts Random Players to the presence of a Party and provides them the option beforehand to either leave the lobby or stay.

Rage Quitting & Lobby Spamming/Slamming: After a game is > 25% over the lobby needs to be 'locked,' no one likes being Spammed/Slammed into a game that's unwinnable and often in a Spawn Trapped game in mid-to-end game. I understand this can leave 6 v 2 and often results in a forfeited game but in the long run again the vast majority of players slammed mid-to-end game on the '2' side hate it. Hopefully, the above solutions will greatly reduce its likelihood anyway.

As a note to those that disagree just know that you're in the minority, and what I've stated above is both logical and will ultimately keep more players in CoD, BO2 and future titles. This is something that should have been implemented some time ago. For those that have high KDR's you shouldn't have any problems with most seasoned players, and high KDR are also in the minority of players. For those wondering what Heuristic Detection is well it's the same mechanism to catch suspected viruses that have similar acting binaries which look and act like known viruses and are attempting to interact in areas that they shouldn't and are perceived and blocked as a threat.

Please feel free to comment.

People abusing their QoS feature... Everyone knows about it.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 06:46:13 GMT

I'm tired of running into matches where it's obvious people are abusing their QoS feature on their modems... It seems as if BO2/Activision just sweeps this issue under the table and calls it good.

When people have pings that start at around 60-80ping and randomly spike to 110-150, hell I've seen them go even higher in upwards of 200.

Now you're going to ask, how does this give an advantage?

Well when someone gets a 65-80ping and they restrict their QoS, they:

A.) Get an enormous amount of lag comp (that they don't need)

B.) They rubber band a lot, so they'll be running normal speed then bam, they do double speed since the host is playing catch up of where their location is in the game.

C.) People shooting at them usually get tons of ghost hits, especially if they're running and gunning like mad (since the hit box is lagging behind them).

D.) When they shoot people their bullets rubber band as well, making several hits, hit instantly and usually kill you before you can react.

Basically the QoS service sees that the program is using more of the bandwidth than designated and throttles the crap out of it causing these symptoms.

The worst symptom of all, is everyone lags more because of this, while the person doing it is getting the upper hand.. If the host is the one throttling then you get random disconnects and the host is normally at the top winning the game..

Now my connection is 60down and 10up... I run my QoS at 30down and 5up when I play since it keeps my connection nice and smooth, meaning I vary maybe 2-5ms.. If I ran fiber I wouldn't have to do this to make my net run smooth, fiber is rare in the Midwest..

So what I'm wondering is, why hasn't Activision done anything about this abuse? Why couldn't you create additional software to detect terrible pings or people who are obviously messing with their QoS and give them no lag comp?

I mean it can't be hard for a program to tell the difference between someone who spikes a little from running wireless (which a good router won't do with proper configuration) and someone who's abusing or using their Verizon cell phones hotspot to play the game.

UI Errors and Steam Disconnects

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:21:21 GMT

Lately I've been experiencing some rather frustrating connection issues and crashes. Today, my game locked up and crashed while throwing a care package. Then again while creating a new class. I got the error code "UI Error 44003" and searching this on google revealed nothing. I only started experiencing these issues after the last patch / update, all my drivers are up to date so I am curios as to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue and might be able to shed some light on it.

Steam issues, several of the people on my friends list, myself included, keep getting kicked out of our games because steam friends will sign in and out randomly (usually only for a split second). It has nothing to do with my network / connection because it's only steam that does it. Skype, Xfire, Origin, Mumble, Vent etc etc etc all stay connected. Is this a common issue for everyone? Is there any chance with the dying black ops community on PC that you will take steps to make this issue a little more bareable? Such as giving people more time to reconnect before booting them from the game? Most other games with DRM connection enforcement allow 30 seconds before disconnecting the player etc, I feel like that would be a much better solution rather then just kicking people instantly...

Just food for thought, is anyone else having these problems?

Can we vote on core bugs to fix instead of cammos please!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 03:42:43 GMT

I have a novel idea. Instead of voting on stupid cammos for guns, lets have a vote for which long standing bug you will fix next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hellstorm glitch

Having to restart to get back in your group after getting kicked out for teamkilling.

K/D questions.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 20:16:22 GMT

Hey guys,

I have three questions about K/D. Thanks for answers.

1) How is K/D calculated? Are kills and deaths being sorted to two big piles and then the piles being devided or it's average of K/D's from every game?

2) When I quit the game (I don't do it often, I am just curious), it gives me 0 K/D. Does 0 K/D drag my K/D down or it doesn't do anything?

3) My K/D is 1,38. Is it good or bad K/D?

Spawn and Footsteps Questions

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:00:41 GMT

ok so first, why do ennemies always spawn in my back? id say 80% of my death are because of spawn problem, spawing with an ennemy right in front of my face, or if i don't rush to the ennemies, they spawn in my back and kill me

Second, for some reason, i feel like the footsteps in Free For All are really quiet compared to, lets say Team Death Match, am I Crazy? or the sound of the footsteps arent the same depending on Game Mode?

Black Ops 2 crash

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 22:23:38 GMT

Hey there, so I just purchased Black Ops 2 a week ago and I am having some issues with the game. The game crashes freezes and then crashes on me almost every game when everything is set on LOW.

My computer specs:

AMD Anthlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor 3.00 GHz

4GB RAM

64 bit

I bought a new graphics card before buying black ops 2. The currect graphics card im using now is AMD Radeon HC 7700

The error I get when the game crashes is "AMD driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

All my graphics card drivers are updated.

So I was wondering what is it wrong? And why does it keep on crashing?
