Activision's Social Media Manager Wants Bugs in Call of Duty: Black Ops Reported; Asks for Civility

I have a problem when you start the game. Error "Direct3DDevice9::Present failed: Driver internal error (-2005S30585)". How to solve it? Help please.

I haven't experienced any major glitches in single player. Multiplayer however is a lag filled mess at the moment. It's a shame, because otherwise it would be the best COD multiplayer yet.

I seemed to fix this last night by editing the CFG and adding 2 lines.

seta r_multiGpu "0"
seta r_multithreaded_device "1"

I noticed that by default it sets this to multigpu 1 and multithread 0 - most everyone has more than one core so the multithread needs to be set to 1. and unless you're running SLI or cross fire multi gpu should be set to 0.

One odd thing to note is, after i set these in the config - and loaded the game i noticed it set them back to the old settings. After adding the lines to your CFG you can now change these settings from the console, so change them back to how it should be. Quit the game, restart and like magic no more stutter...

I know it's BS that we have to trouble shoot this our selves but this 100% fixed my lag, and i tried it with some random - and it solved his problem as well. Hope this helps if you have any questions feel free to email me at rastakin@gmail.com and ill try to help you out. peace.

Great game! very balanced once you work out the lag issues :) from what my gaming community and I have experienced so far, it's probably just script error... because the spikes are there regardless of graphics settings (except shadows, turning those off helps a lot) and hardware. And none of the lag spikes are synchronized with other players so it's definitely not server-side. Keep up the good work though!

P.S.: Absolutely LOVE the easter egg at the main menu ;)

Some how when I try to play nazi zombies online on my pc it just keep saying that the group is no longer available or it just kicks me out. I am wondering if it is my computer or you guys are still trying to find a way to fix the online nazi zombies?

Nice rant... you got some points, but first you don't get to shoot "generic middle eastern militants" at all, since the game is set in the 60ies. No Nazis either. Sorry to disappoint - but you fail at basic research.

Gameplay wise, there is in fact nothing much new, but most people play this for multiplayer. So comparing this to RPG-light singleplayer games is kinda pointless.

Woaah! GTX 580 !
Daddy , is it christmas already ! :D?

The single player is a little buggy, but no game ending bugs so far.

As for the multiplayer, i cant tell if its graphical or the connection but the lag is rediculous :'( unplayable. also the friends thing doesnt work :'( AAAAAARGH!

Toward the end of the first mission, the guy I was supposed to be following wouldn't move anymore. I tried dying, but the last checkpoint I hit was bugged, so I had to start the mission over.

At least the missions are like 5 minutes long!

sorry to say everyone, but the game runs BEAUTIFULL for me, no lag, no skipping. just pure awesome game!!
hopefully something is done because i know very few people with such fate as I

this is insane ... I'm pissed ... give us pc gamers some respect and put more effort into our gaming experience !!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

this game is a scam!

A lot of people can't even start game. crashed straight away, lag, freezing etc, never seen game being so bad at launch.

And what Activision does? It fucking shuts its forums for maintenance!!! So they can sell all those copies to unaware customers.

I'm just amazed that people aren't tired of this overused gimmick now. At their heart that's all CoD games are now, one big fat gimmick.

CoD1 and CoD4 were the ONLY standout titles of the series. The rest = $$ power cash cow, hence why I haven't bought any "modern" shooter titles since CoD4. The whole thing is just tiresome. Theres only so many times I can shoot a "generic middle eastern militant" in the face with a generic bland plot forcing me on.

Not to mention that I'm always gonna be playing "Sergeant Chad Dudewell from Dallas, Texas" who's just an all round awesome American doing the right thing and fighting for his country (for country read oil supply) under the big ol' flag of the US of A. Because we all know that only America has ever been involved in any conflict since the 1930's right? Hopefully I've laced this with enough sarcasm that I needn't continue down this road, you get where I'm going.

Where is the imagination? Surely these big companies have enough cash to invest in some creativity instead of just religiously pumping out a shitty franchised WW2 or Modern shooter every 2 years.

I mean there was more creativity and soul in Machinarium than MW2 and WaW put together. Probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch to include this latest "cinematic epic masterpiece" (gimme a break, lol) in that too.

Roll on Deux Ex : Human Evolution or Bioshock : Infinite or even Crysis 2. The only shooters worth looking at these days are ones with imagination.

is it just me, or does the mouselook feel off in a way like no other cod game on pc? Like it feels laggy and not right.. I still do okay online but I don't know why they changed something that worked perfectly before.

I don't have any issue on it. What a suprised news! O_O

"Insults in all caps might make you feel better"

The most accurate sentence in the gaming industry

I hope they ban all those apple exploiters. It's ruining the game.

well what do u guys expect from treyarch? jee i wonder why this never happend with MW2 and COD4 and COD2 and Cod1. but only happend in black ops and world at war and COD3.



lol not that hard to understand

Well for one, their forums are "Down for maintenance". So there is the first bug. :p

The second and most widespread is the framerate/lag glitchy gameplay for the PC online not being caused by players Hardware or net connections.

Uh-oh. This sounds like one of those "pre-emptive strike" types of PR messages. Now I'm really curious as to just how bad the PC lag issues really are - based on this message, one suspects that it's a fairly substantial problem (possibly). Yikes.

So they are asking forum posters on the internet to be civil when reporting bugs? Good luck with that.

there was nothing as bad as the complete system lockup i had when I tried to access the community tab through blackops.


had to physically push the power button as even the controller wouldn't bring the shutdown menu up
