Shame. ;)

Here you go:
Hey PS3 gamers,

We are listening to you and we’ve been busy working on updates based on feedback from the community. We have already deployed a number of updates, and there will be many more to come. Stay tuned right here for all the latest info.

LIVE FIXES


12/13 (full patch)
New Features:
* • Over 400 brand new Contracts
* • Practice Dummies (aka, AI bots) in offline Local Split Screen
* • A new camera editing mode in Theater called "Dolly Cam"
* • "Load Multiplayer by Default" option for the PS3

Issues Addressed:
* • Resolved several issues with parties getting disbanded unexpectedly.
* • Additional measures to prevent the “Transmission error” and other disconnects. This was most likely to occur with large parties where party members had mixed NAT types.
* • Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to improve matchmaking conditions where users had strict or moderate NAT types. Also added in-game communications so that all players are aware of their NAT type in the Player Match party lobby.
* • Addressed an issue with VOIP icons not appearing when USB headsets were plugged in prior to game launch.
* • Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige.
* • Addressed an issue where Flak Jacket Pro would not always protect against ground fires left by Napalm Strikes.
* • Prevention of users losing their killstreak reward when switching classes at the start of a new round in round-based game modes.
* • Addressed an issue where the incorrect perks would appear when spectating another player under certain circumstances.
* • Added round start explosive delay to China Lake grenade launcher to give it the same round start limitations as other explosives.
* • Contracts will now reset when the player Prestiges.
* • Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions.
* • Prevention of Gunship and Chopper Gunner failing to give player full control under rare conditions.
* • Prevention of an issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances.
* • Additional security measures to enhance detection and banning capabilities.

Gameplay Tuning:
* • Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops.
* • Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates.
* • Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users – increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types.
* • Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots.
* • Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.
* • Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time.
* • Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.

I'm guessing the patch for PC has been released. Updates on Steam coming down for BOps singleplayer, multiplayer and remote consol.
 
well done gayarch, your patch totally eFd black ops for me loads more stuttering in combat or when lots of people are on screen, deleting this rubbish game
 
Played a few games after the new patch, same crap!!!!!

If you have lag issues in combat situations its definitely not your CPU especially if its a i7. Your problem lies with your internet connection. Running 384? :confused:
 
384 during office hours and 10mb/s after connection interupted almost every game, stuttery mess when there are two or more people on screen, i wont be buying another game from Treyarch or through steam again

So my patched sort of fixed the game. It was running really smooth in the morning. I had a good few games with Slaughter :) but in the afternoon it went back to its usual 40fps which doesn't make any sense to me...because I didn't change anything...

So I can only the play the game before 11AM :p
 
This probably the most bugged game I've evar played.
If you start stuttering after a bit of playing try exiting the game and start again sometimes work for me. I also wanted to dump this game but COD is addictive.

I have no issues with my 384.

Your exchange?
Your Hard drive?
 
What graphics card do those have that are still having problems? The patch seemed to improve performance on my dual core pc with a NVidia card but did nothing to improve the game on my brother's dual core machine with an AMD card.

I have an i7, 4 Gig ram, HD5870 and a 384k line.

No problems, ever. Except when I tried playing with the wrong ISP account.

I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of the issues people are having are ISP related.
 
i7 with HD5770/ wd caviar black 1tb 64mb cache, 4gb ddr3 ram game was "ok" before latest patch, now its plays like when it launched
 
Great, my game was fine but is broken now after the patch. I play fine and then a few minutes in I get rubber banding while everyone else still move fine on my screen and then I die and get a checkered board on my screen and then when I respawn I cant move and it keeps on swiching guns >.< also I spawn without a weapon in my hands a LOT of the time and have to fire before it loads the weapon and while I have not weapon the soldier runs slow as ****. FAIL FAIL FAIL

Oh, in 7 games I managed to finish 1 so far...

Running 4MB syncing at 3.9 with i7 930, WD Caviar black 1.5TB. Apparently if you have anything slower than 512kb/s you should not make maxpackets 100 and instead 70. Your upload speed is what is killing you and the reason why you only lag when you see enemies as it then sends more packets to the server which your line speed cant handle. So maybe try changes maxpackets and see if it helps. If that still fails maybe time for upgrade to faster line? New telecoms provider should be up and running in 4 to 5 years so internet prices should drop drastically untill then we will all have suffer telkoms reign of terror. :wtf:
