• Treyarch's pcdev keeps us updated on Black Ops fixes

    Treyarch-run "pcdev" on Twitter was re-awoken today, to deliver a heap of very, very regular updates and replies to the PC Call of Duty: Black Ops community. The account with the proud bio of "kb+mouse or die" tweets that they're "Still super busy in the dev cave. Not stopping. Keep talking. We're listening. Patches incoming. Frag on." And while that statement is somewhat reassuring, we want cold hard facts. We want details. And pcdev delivers!

    • "/connect is coming back. maybe not next patch but I promise it is coming back."
    • "film recording should be fixed - this was a backend config problem for rented ranked servers only."
    • "TBH I'm not sure yet what is causing killcam choppiness, but we see it too. Will fix."
    • "trying to release patch before the weekend."
    • "we are aware of long shader compile times on nvidia 4 series cards causing hitching. working with nvidia on a fix."
    • "We have some nice optimizations for better FPS going into QA tomorrow."

      Essentially it means test - it stands for "quality assurance".

      Maybe they hear all of the desperate cries to remove the mouse smoothing....

      Yeah, if there's mouse smoothing, I hadn't noticed it. Seems pretty spot-on to me.

      Ahem, I don't got a nvidia 4 series card (8800GS) I run BO at 60~80 fps stable but I continue freezing like a ********* non stop.
      So I hope that fix works for me too....

      Not sure if mine patched, but I can only see the CTF server (even though the HQ server has players according to rcon). And I'm still stuttering.

      Im quite curious why people stutter in this game when i dont have it at all. Im running budget hardware, so hmmm.

      Have you guys excluded the cod directory in your anti-virus programs?

      I remember having to do that with bad company 2 after having issues with it and it worked no problem after the exclusion.
