Call of Duty 17: Black Ops Cold War

Spent about £15 on this game (friend) and I wish I hadn't, hate everything about it! The graphics are meh, the modes are boring etc. The only thing keeping me going is when we do get an eventual warzone map in the game it might bring me back in. Personally if it wasn't for the game was going that cheap and the rest of the team were playing it (not all enjoy it) I wouldn't have wasted my money
 
Anyone else getting issues today on Cold War?

it’s been running amazing since launch for me (3080). Had to test a 2080ti today on my system so DDUd after that and reinstalled the latest drivers, now I get 70% Cpu use in the menu and the game hovers around 90-95% gpu in game, and this causes screen tearing and stuttering. Gsync does nothing, Vsync hides the issue slightly. Game is running like dog ****.

I paid £27, I am enjoying it so far, feels nice and smooth and I like the TTK. Graphics are decent imo and the modes are good, VIP escort is nice. Only been playing for a short while but enjoying so far.
 
Folks... this is wierd.
The first scene in COD:CW, my FPS drops down to 48fps and then goes up to 55-60fps and then once I leave the bar it kind of hovers around 60-70fps.

But what I noticed was my GPU usage was always 50% and my CPU is 72% (so no CPU bottleneck surely). (monitor using RTSS/MSI)

Not sure whats going on.... can anyone do a quick test to see if its similar or are you all getting high GPU usage?

E: Tried CoDMW and Im getting more than 90% on the GPU.

Clearly something not right here...

According to task manager my gpu utilisation in game is 2%
 
Friend has been trying to play this, 1080Ti/4670k/16GB ram and he's getting ~20fps at 1080p, ~40fps at 720p. Game seems to be running like rubbish for him. Everything else he plays is fine.

Edit: forgot to say that's with everything on the lowest settings

so the game downloaded a fair size patch today. Looked up the notes and saw there was a fix for screen space reflections resetting itself to low all the time. I'm confused though as the bug is still there even after downloading the patch. What am I missing?
 
Does anyone know if the Russia/Ukraine gift method still works? Have added my UK account as a friend, waited the 3 days, but when I go to gift I get "gifting isn't available for your currency".

You have to have a VPN connected while purchasing the gift.

It still works as I did it for a friend again earlier on. :)
 
this game is a mess.

still cant play more than 5-10 mins without crashing. tried turning off overlays, D3D11 command line option, re installed drivers, deleting player folder, scan and repair... its utter tripe.

Do you have any overclocks running? It seems to be very sensitive to GPU memory overclocking from what I can tell.
