Since the hotfix today (connections etc)

Posted by starbuckfrack on Dec 11, 2012 6:00 PM

Since the hotfix that (hopefully) fixed the probations...

 

Has anyone noticed that ALL the lobbies in Black Ops 2 are getting around 4 or 5 ONE bar people in the lobby in the middle of the match ? Everyone else has 3 or 4 bars ?

 

I know it happens when a gamer and a guest get in sometimes but today its been every game that goes 1 bar for me and 3 or 4 others.

 

Never happened before, just mostly pretty good connections with no one really going one bar at all.

 

The one bar stage happens for about 30 seconds to a minute and goes away.

 

There are also signs of rubber banding,

 

hopping left and right backward

 

players freezing in place for 30 seconds

 

Yada yada yada.

 

MW3 was running fine for the half hour I tested it.

 

I also cannot tell if this was after the patch because I havent played in a few days.

 

(Please stay frosty and please no hate Blops posting, thanks.)

 

BTW its in Austin area and I think the matchmaking is now severly screwed if its the last update. Before almost everyone had at least 3 bars tthe whole game.

    Yep, this exact same thing was happening to me in multiple lobbies today.  Four to 8 people would drop to 1 bar and after 60 seconds they would be back to 4 bars and everyone else would switch to 1 bar.  Unplayable at 1 bar.  People skipping around like crazy.

    lol... I just made a thread about this maybe a minute after you. I too am getting this.

     

    I said it in my thread, but it seems that Treyarch is trying to curb host migration by giving multiple people host in the lobby (game has not migrated hosts once today- aside from at the very beginning of games).

     

    By giving multiple people hosts in the game, it feels like I'm receiving conflicting data from the two(or more) hosts and is causing a rediculous "rubber-banding" effect.

     

    All in all... I've about had enough of this game.

    I haven't fired up BO2 today and I'll run a few games just for you, starbuck. The game was running fine yesterday and I didn't know they tweaked it again today.

    I haven't really noticed any worse lag than before the patch.  I wonder what they did?

    The game is now broken. I'm getting a lot of rubberbanding. It wasn't like this yesterday but whatever they did today made the game unplayable.

     

    Here is an example of what I am now experiencing on my game. This is not theatre, it's PVR, and this is my gameplay. Most of the enemy team bailed out and there are times where four or more people will red bar all at the same time then goes back to green.

    Thank God it's not just me. I was about to call my ISP and have it out with them tomorrow morning.

      Yep, it's screwed up but if you look at the Black Ops 2 status it shows defcon 5. There is definitely something screwy going on. Do they not test these hotfixs before they push them out to millions of people??? come on!

      The game ran perfect all of yesterday, and into this morning.  I topped off my gaming binge with a 51/0 and then this 1 bar **** started  at about 3pm and I switched to Diablo 3. I'm in Wisconsin so its not just an area thing.

    I was talking to one of my homies earlier while he was playing and he said it was unplayable. As for me I gave up on BO2 before this started. MW3 is looking better and better every day.

    The same exact thing is happening to me and my friends. We tried almost every different game type, all had Horrible rubberbanding. so we thought maybe league play would be a little better... Nope, not at all! same thing in 4 different lobbies. The game was fine until the hotfix today.

    I noticed that it started happening about the time all the kids were getting home from school and getting online. I started playing today when the population was in the 45,000 range in TDM ... watched it get into the 80k+ range ... and eventually go back down into the 60k+ range ... and the number of incidences where the weird stuff was happening with the connections followed the same curve as the population.

      I can confirm that, the game is unplayable when the kids are at home from school. I think the kids download some stuff on their pcs while playing online or something like that. I've noticed it in previous CoDs before that the lag only starts during 2pm till 10pm.

    GUYS!   It's not the game!!!!!   It's our routers!!!   See, what you have to do is configure this, and configure that.  DMZ this, and put this over there.. set up your wyler mod to 8.8, and then make sure the flux capacitor is on full.     Then the game will work.

     

    It's not the game... It's us.

    Its still happening tonight.  Several people will go to one bar. When you do, you cant do anything but back out, or get killed over and over.
