Black Ops PC Patch In The Works

Treyarch wants fans to know they’ve been listening to community feedback, and a such have detailed a list of WIP fixes they are polishing off for an upcoming PC patch. There’ve already been a few smaller updates since the game’s November launch, but this is the most sizable to date.

Fixes will address issues with the Quickmatch system, spawn locations, and leaderboards, amongst other considerations. Check out the full list of pending updates below.

[Thanks to Mitchell Ruckhaber for the tip!]

IN PROGRESS

  •  Added an option to create shaders during load time. This fixes hitching when viewing a new area of the map for the first time on some video cards
  •  Incomplete server browser results.
  • Improvements to Quickmatch results (with better ping and reduced lag)
  • /connect
  • /reconnect
  • Improved threading performance on computers with only 2 cores.
  • Fixed random freezes in certain computer configurations.
  •  Increased reserved slots to 9.
  • Improvements to the spawn system to resolve an issue where negative spawn influencers from specific game events were not always being deleted after the danger had cleared – in some matches, this was causing good spawns to be erroneously flagged by the game as bad spawns, which in turn forced actual bad spawns to get selected later in the match 
  • Weekly and Monthly leaderboards will now track all kills, deaths and assists properly (All Time leaderboards were not affected by this)
  • Prevention of killstreak selection getting disabled in Combat Training under rare conditions
  • Array: Added collision to prevent players from partially clipping into a tree
  •  Launch: Added collision to prevent players from strafe jumping onto an invisible ledge at the base of the rocket near B3
  • Summit: Added collision to prevent players from jumping to a location outside of the map boundary when in Custom Games where player speed is maxed out
  • Havana: Added collision to prevent players from jumping onto an invisible ledge above a doorway at C2
  • Nuketown: Adjusted a spawn point that would spawn players on top of a mannequin’s head when that mannequin was randomly spawned in that location
  • Launch: User could access a small platform outside of the intended play space below the rocket gantry by jumping to a very specific location; now blocked from access
  • Launch: User could access a small area inside geometry at vents near Dom flag A by going prone and moving around in a very specific location; now blocked from access
  • Some users reported that weapon attachment challenges were not resetting after prestige; now all are guaranteed to clear as soon as selecting the prestige option
  • Radar sweep when there are only 2 players left in One in the Chamber will stop functioning if the 2 players have multiple lives when the sweep starts
  • Villa: User can clip into rock at west edge of grid zone B2 and see through to the other side
  • Crisis: User can clip into LVT between grid zone A3 and B3 and see through to the other side
  • User can get an infinite number of 'Sam Turret', 'Care Package' and 'Sentry Gun' killstreaks (commonly referred to as the “care package glitch”)

 

Comments
  • W.I.P. just became G.A.W.

    Grade A Work!

  • Nice to know Treyarch is supporting it's game, unlike IW.

  • Treyarch is the best, I thought IW was the best in MW2 but after 7 months of playing COD MW2 I got tired of gay IW not doing anything about the lags and bugs! Treyarch keep up the good work and IW P.S don't ever make another COD game!
  • Wow. Props to Treyarch for getting this out so fast

  • I wish I could find the people that used the care package glitch and beat their bottle cap glasses into their *** pimple ridden faces! LAYF!

  • Good to know only a month after release Treyarch desires to serve the players. This is something that unfortunately Infinity Ward seemed to do very sparingly. I hope they show the same support for the consoles and I expect to see a patch soon. Good work, Treyarch!

  • What about the 360?? The care package glitch is getting out of hand!!!!
  • Oh wow....this is fantastic news.

  • This patch will most likely be ported onto consoles or however they do it.

  • I'm getting sick of crashing every time I try to play this. Seriously, I'll play like 3 or 4 matches, then BOOM crash. I hope this fixes it.
  • I hope this fixes the crashing. >w>

  • i hope we dont get anymore call of duty games for a while.
  • Glad to know Treyarch is actually doing something, whereas Infinitey Ward did nothing.

  • Thats a big patch..

  • That's quite a long list.

  • well are they fixing this stuff on the consoles? They should leave some of the spots alone, like on launch the one where you jump to the I-frame...leave it be let us explore

  • they made it too hard to snipe on this game

  • Can I add to the list? I have 7 mbps internet and can't get five bars while playing unless I am dead, can they get servers in a more centralized location like Omaha, NE or Kansas City, MO so it is fair for everyone in the country. Or at least get rid of personal host! I want a game hosted by treyarch so everyone has equal connections not personal host ***

  • Good to know they're coming up with an even bigger group of fixes. Maybe then I can go and get back on for a smoother play through.
  • One question when??
