Black Ops Patch Fixes Most But Not All Issues

Black Ops Patch Fixes Most But Not All Issues

 

With Black Ops being the highest selling game of all time, you would expect a lot of common issues to not occur. This wasn't the case for PS3 gamers, and it angered many of them. Well if you took a break due to those issues and are currently waiting for them to be addressed before returning then it might be a good time to check it out.

According to Treyarch a recent patch fixes all of the below:

Improved matchmaking to find matches significantly faster

Improved matchmaking to ensure that players are more effectively matched to games with the best networking conditions

Improved host selection to ensure that the best host is always selected in the pre-game lobby

Improved party system to ensure that parties don’t get broken apart

Disable ability to join Private Match, Combat Training and Theater lobbies when searching for Player Match games

Server-side and game-side changes to decrease the amount of failed Film uploads

Weekly and Monthly leaderboards will now track all kills, deaths and assists properly (All Time leaderboards were not affected by this)

Prevention of Combat Training stats getting crossed with Player Match stats under rare conditions

Prevention of temporary loss of functionality when a button was being held down at the point of a disconnect

Additional fine-tuning of audio levels and ranges for footsteps and gunfire

Additional fine-tuning of audio levels for bomb plants/defuses

Additional online security enhancements

Optimization to prevent friends list from spamming user while in game – will improve game performance for users with large numbers of friends

However a future patch seems to be in the works to address even further issues including spawn points giving teams advantages. At least we should be able to play the game without massive lag now.

PS3 Version of Black Ops Needs Patch Work

PS3 Version of Black Ops Needs Patch Work

 

Black Ops is getting alot of good reviews and fan input after release. That is if you are one of the very few capable of turning it off to talk about it. However there seem to be some issues with the title too, afterall no game is perfect.

According to the Black Ops forums, the PS3 version of the game is recieving alot of issues. Things such as :

- Party Invite System not working, unable to join friends even with public chosen
- Leaderboard not reading correct kills
- Framerate issues, affecting gameplay
- Theatre mode not working correctly
- Respawns, issue spawning near enemies on smaller maps
- Game freezing PS3 Console
- Party option "Leave with party" not working correctly
- Locale Search option not working
- Mic's not showing in lobby
- Error "Disconnected due to transmission Error" appears after some games

These reports come for the PS3 version, and all we ask Treyarch is you share some love with us too! Afterall we already get DLC late. Either way expect a patch to be released real soon that fixes all of the above issues as Treyarch/Activision have noted they will be on top of these things as quickly as possible.
