COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

Came across this concerning lag & not sure if any of it's been suggested before or if it will help. (The second para about setting cpu affinity I've heard before).

1) Go to the players folder for Call of Duty: Black Ops. For Steam, it's located here:

Steam>steamapps>common>call of duty black ops>players>config_mp.cfg

2) Open config_mp.cfg and make the following changes:

seta r_glow_allowed "1" to seta r_glow_allowed "0"
seta r_gfxopt_dynamic_foliage "1" to seta r_gfxopt_dynamic_foliage "0"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another thing you can do is this.

While ingame alt tab out. bring up your task manager by holding Ctrl + Alt and pressing Delete and opening the Task Manager. When you in there click on the processes Tab. Now look for the Steam.exe process right click it and set the priority to Low. Next find Blackops.exe or something and right click and set the priority to High. After that right click it again and set the affinity to 1 CPU.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another thing you could do is to go into your steam library, right click properties > updates and uncheck the box that says "Enable steam cloud".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next up if you open your black ops and go into a game open the console by pressing ` , then type /cl_maxpackets 100. Once you have done this restart your game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you have done that once you have reloaded the game go back into the game and open console once again and then enter in the following commands into it. MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS PUT A / Before the command or else it wont input it .

/rate 25000
/cg_brass - set this to "0" to help decrease lag
/r_blur_allowed - set this to "0" to help decrease lag
/r_cachemodellighting - set this to "1" to help decrease lag
/r_cacheSmodellighting - set this to "1" to help decrease lag
/r_distortion - set this to "0" to help decrease lag
/r_dof_enable - set this to "0" to help decrease lag
/r_glow_allowed - set this to "0" to help decrease lag
/r_multiGpu - set this to "0" if you don't use a more than one graphics card.
r_specular - set this to "0" to help decrease lag

Hopefully this helps a lot of you sort your lag issues out as I know its helped mine, I now have next to no lag issues at all .

Also if anyone else has anymore fixes that I haven't posted please reply to this post and add them thanks

Anyone still having the stuttering issues with sli systems, tried it for the first time in a while today. Still very jerky, disabling sli and running on a single gpu makes the game run extremely well, still a bit of a hassle though.
 
Runs fine and looks good on my PC, my problem with this game is it is basically Modern Warfare 2 with new maps, weapons and killstreaks. The exact same gameplay that I got bored of. Having dedicated servers is good though.
 
I played a few games today. No problems at all now and I racked up some dynamite scores. Still has problems though: silly spawn, ugly weaps, poor sound effects and so on. Oh well, at least it's playable now.
 
Haven't played for a while and just booted it up, still stutters all over the shop and is just horrible.

Are there any actual fixes or shall I just accept that COD games will never be good again?
 
dunno whats up with you McGray but my stutter was fixed around 2 weeks after release

also try changing your texture settings to high if its on extra

no real difference in visuals from extra to high but it did makes things a lot smoother
 
Uninstalled this and installed CoD4, completely different game. I'm really surprised at how it's evolved.

it's very much a more balanced arcade fps and I've started to play it more than BO :D.
 
The particle effects in this game on high settings are real FPS killers. The snow effect on array being a really good example. Running an i7 + 5870 at 1920x1080 and my fps drops by 30 just by that snow affect lol. (still playable as it doesnt drop below 60 though, just proves a point that weaker systems may struggle on higher settings on some of the levels)

It'll run better now, but to be honest, running it perfectly just allows the poorness of the actual game to show through.

Yea im definitely agreeing with you, like when i play cs or css i usually get a moderate score near the top half of the table but people in cod just seem to be so terrible im very rarely coming in 2nd place and most annoyingly ive been banned from 2 servers now as they think im cheating when im real fact im one of the few people who actually listen out for footsteps etc. So frustrating im going back to cod4

Yea im with you. CSS is much easier to feel like you are actually playing a game rarther than running around spraying ****. That said it does make a nice change and i rather play this with friends, its just more fun
