I had GTX 280 and had FPS drop from 70-90 on average to 40 in some certain areas.
I upgraded to GTX 560, which is roughly 50% faster, frame rate is now mostly 91 (never higher, must be a limit somewhere), and yet I still receive SAME frame rate drops to SAME 40 fps in SAME areas on SAME maps.

/com_maxfps 80 thats what is set in your config change it to 125, 250 or 333 and you sure get more than 91 fps

Re: how to fix this bug

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 09 May 2011 04:56:41 GMT

What you could try, and I really dont know if it works but, goto: your steam folder/Steam apps/common/call of duty black ops/ Players

there is your config_mp open it and search for: seta costumclass1 "Costum 1" and rename it (by writing something else in the "" than costum 1) and than try to change something if it works, good for you if not well it was just a try

Re: PC Performance problems

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 09 May 2011 04:42:35 GMT

You forget the main problem is infact Windows 7.

My specs are:

AMD Phenom II x4 965
6gb ram
geforce 470 gtx

I played with that setting on XP but with only 2 GB ram and had nearly constant 125 fps, after the upgrate to win 7 and the +4gb ram I run around with 50-125 fps. It is infact a Win 7 problem and not the graphiccards itself cause they have allready been updated for Black ops. But on the otherside I allways had directx error all over the place and couldnt play the game at all so im kinda happy with win 7 cause every other game runs flawless even BC2 with everything on high and dx11 with good fps.

Unluckly this win 7 problem is there since release.

losing connection to call of duty servers

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 May 2011 10:17:23 GMT

I'm allways losing the connection to the call of duty servers and I dont know why, I just figured out how I could fix my win 7 wlan lags by disabling the background scan... and disable the windows firewall but now I have the problem that the game loses all the time the connection to the call of duty servers MID GAME!!!!

Connecting any server is no problem, also playing but mid game the game kicks me out and tells me that the call of duty servers arent there anymore and I should check for updates. I dont have those problems in other games but only in Black ops and I cant figure out whats the problem, the wlan connection itself is stable enough to handle everything cause I had no problems playing befor this disconnection begun. Just about one day befor I figured out how to fix win 7 lags the disconnecting begun, therfore anything that has to do with solving of my wlan lag does not have anything to do with the black ops problems.

Anyone any ideas?

OS Win 7 64bit
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965
GPU: Geforce GTX 470
MB: Asus M4A785TD-V EVO
6 GB ram

those are my specs but I guess you aint need em

Re: oh look, another steam connect fail

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 04:54:53 GMT

I dont have any problems with steam either, only way steam can lag is when a big game is released so the downloading folk is stressing the servers.

VAC is much better than PB (atleast for me), I think I had to reinstall my OS 7 times because of a PB heartbeat problem that i can only fix with reinstall of the OS (back when I had Win XP).

The activation is much more easier than for other games that use own stuff to activate for example GTA4-> Windows live and social club

And the best thing you dont even have to leave your house to buy a new game, and steam offers you more games than you can find in a game store.

CS 1.6 is still a big game, cod2 is also still up.

Re: AK74 u

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 04:57:41 GMT

AK74 U is not overpowered!!!!!!
The other smg's are just bad and the ak74 u is normal...^^

Ok tbh, AK74 U is overpowed, same goes for the AUG (STG 77), the first time I used the STG I was like "holy motherf...ing moly, this weapon must be the best assault rifle in this game, nearly no recoil, extremly strong and very good at long range".

But one thing I want to point out in this thread: the AUG is an assault rifle that can shoot max 2700 meter and has an effective range of 300 meter, even at 50 meters you normaly shoot bullet per bullet the recoil is extreme in reallife when you shoot it auto (trust me I know what I'm talking about I was there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peDXRJekY6E , the STG77 is our weapon of choice). therefore pls stop with reallife facts about weapons, this is a game.

Re: Why Do So Many Servers Have Rules Against Bad Language?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 04:55:54 GMT

Cmon guys, as long as you dont swear around and get kicked for it, its not a big deal. And swearing doesnt effect anything ingame except of the few seconds the players who is typing can be killed easily.

I'm just happy that COD was never that kind of game everyone is running around with headsets and talking sh.. in game. It's better they tipe the swearing instead of screaming in a headset so you have to listen to all of it (if you havnt found the mute button ).

Another reason why I dont play Xbox or PS3 cause its useless swearing around midgame via mics and I like to listen to the sound of the game not of the players.

Re: Sniping has still not been fixed, and pcdev is silent

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 04:54:25 GMT

Tweet PCDev that after patch1.7 Sniper hit 50% less than befor (I dont want to use twitter, not agian.).
My accurancy just went from 40% to 20% that means 50% of hits are now misses and thats sooooooo annoying, atleast my K/D rates stay the same.

Re: Quick Scoping problem on PC

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 17:11:04 GMT

I just checked, my overall accurancy on the l96 is 41.1%
Since the patch and patch fix my accurancy droped 20%, half of the shots i should hit are now misses. Not that my overall accurancy changed but game for game I have only around 20% accurancy. The K/D rates and Scores are pretty much the same K/D is jumping around 1-6, comes up what gametype I play, these records are made in a Sniper only server and I really feel that I miss much more, kinda freaks me out when I need 7 bullets to hit an enemy and another 3 to kill him.
I would love to show some gameplay of befor the patch and after it but the recording on the server is disabled.

I also realized that the variable zoom is much more messed up than the normal scope, and I dont run around with steady aim like most of the ppl do to get atleast some atvantage in close combat.

I had much more fun befor this patch massacre on sniper

3. gamers who try to put their own rules in effect.. such as no dropshot, no claymores, no noobtubes, no bunny hops etc... this just bcs they want to be unstoppable heroes and they dont like if his enemy is difficult to kill. The easier kills the more they have stupid grin on their face. The more they confrontate hard-to-kill gamers the more they become as 1.-4.
4. whining gamers. Most common words: gay, noob, retard, hacker, cheater, FU, **** u (did i forget something?)
5. Admins who are like from 1. to 4. and limited the game play on their server(s)
6. "Skill limited" servers. If u are "too" good u will be banned bcs there are no high skills. There is just averageness and then cheaters.

Now when we have professional games, like Black Ops, it makes gamers "professional gamers", when "a pro gamer" dies his "professional pride" suffers, and then comes insulting and other stupid acts.

Anyways.... when a computer game begins to affect ur mental state it's time to call Dr. Phil.

legit, nothing special, he aims at doors, windows and corners.

The 2/3 kills on the stairs (pssssstttt: campers are allways a easy target when you get killed 1 time by them, cause you know where they are and you will sure check the spot more than once in a game)

biggest prove of not WHacking: he aimed a lamp, and a lamp isnt schown in a WH as an enemy.

If you die in smoke and the smoke does NOT disappear before the killcam starts, it will show the smoke as-is when you were shot in the killcam. I agree it's stupid that they don't re-create smoke/debris (from frags etc) in the killcam, but it's often still there. If he can see that smoke is still up in the killcam and when he dies and the killcam clip starts there's still smoke hiding him? Bingo. Condition recreation successful. As for cars/barrels, it's true, they never re-create those explosions.
But the Killcam shows a lot of "interesting" stuff otherwise. For example, when people hit reload, then instantly see you and simply start firing. You can sprint-cancel a reload, sure, but when someone is prone and does that kind of crap.... I'm pretty sure that's a very very very little called-out kind of hack. Because I've never been able to do it, and some people in the killcam always finish reloading before shooting. Others don't need to finish. And they always have plenty ammo in their gun to fire.... strange.

Yep i noticed this reload thing too. i've seen it at least 10 times I also noticed it goes hand in hand with some perfect targeting.
the pausing of the reload, the ADS & perfect targeting happens simultaneous in every instance i've seen this occurrence, a little to strange for me.
I agree, it's probably a cheat/some sort of setting on the aimbot hack that does this for these players. usually by the end of a round i notice something else incriminating on these players. So i lean more toward this being a cheat. or a cheat glitch.

Again wrong

The reloading problem is another bug/timedelay problem. Have you ever been spawned reloading? Thats the same thing, I guess it happens when you start reloading when you get killed, you will see the reloading animation on the killcam but the animation stops when he starts shooting.
This problem is known since cod2

Is it a wallhack if someone aim shoots me through a smoke screen even though there was no indication of me being in the specific spot?
I assume wallhacks mean someone who is able to see through objects and so forth to find the person.
Or was there some Pro perk that allows it?

If you pop smoke and run to a spot behind it, and someone aims directly at you (not blindfire) and kills you in a couple shots, then yes. Hacks. UNLESS in the killcam you see your own body outline in the smoke, because sometimes that happens and I don't know why. If not, call hax and ask admin to borrow teh banhammer. If admin not on, you're pretty much screwed. Wallhacks basically show either an outline of the person (with smaller outlines meaning greater distance of course) or like something above the head of the person, with different colours depending on if there's something between them and you or not.

WRONG!!!!!
Unfortunatly has the killcam a time delay, that means smoke nades, flashes, glas, and physic stuff are not the same in the killcam compared to that what the enemy really saw.

For example, you place a smoke nade infront of you and get killed right after it, the smoke itself wasnt build up jet, but when the killcam starts it schows what the smoke is currently while you watch the kill cam, you may see the smoke fully build up but when you died you just threw the smoke nade. Therefore, dont trust the killcam 100%
The same goes for cars, if a car explodes after your killed behind the car, in the killcam you will see the car allready destroyed instead of normal.

Re: Win 7 Vs. Win XP

yeah, my fps are freaking out since I have win7 and back in winxp I couldnt play the game because of dircetx problems (which were the same for codwaw).

Re: Downloading maps?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 04:41:40 GMT

I remember that from costum maps back in cod2/cod4, cause every stupid admin has to make a own mod folder therefore you had to download the exactly same map more than once just to have the map in another folder.

But black ops? I havnt seen anything of downloading any maps except of the DLC maps but they are downloaded once and done.
