Possible COD: Black Ops fixes

[enigma#]

I decided to research into these perceived lag issues and here's what I saw.

This is NOT my work!

 

Please make sure to back up your system configuration in case any of the provided information causes unexpected results.

 

Remember that you should type '/' (minus the quotes) before

 

1. Open Console (`)

/cl_maxpackets 100

/snaps 30

 

Restart your game

 

Show FPS

cg_drawfps 1 --- to enable

cg_drawfps 0 -- to disable

 

2. Find your Black Ops listing in your game browser, right click on the multiplayer version

Head to Properties -> Updates -> Untick Enable steam cloud sync.

 

Try this only if you don't mind not talking to people outside of your game.

3. Steam > Settings > In Game > uncheck “Enable Steam Community In-Gameâ€Â

FrameRate Capping:

Type the following command

/com_maxfps 120

This caps it at 120 FPS... change it accordingly.

 

Config.cfg file. Inside it are two flags:

 

"MultiGpu"

1 for Any multiGPU Setup

0 for Single GPU setup or Non-CrossFire/SLI Setups.

"Multithreaded"

1 - multicore cpu support (if you have 2+ cores)

0 - single core

 

seta r_multiGpu "1"

seta r_multithreaded_device "0"

end flags.

 

My suggestion, do it to your hardware setup then play around

 

There's a Config floating around on the Internet, try it out. Make sure to back up your current one.

Download the file here http://www.fnatic.com/downloads/481/Stevy-config.html and unrar it to your desktop

 

Find your Steam folder (C:\Program Files\Steam)

 

Then Steam Apps folder > Common > Call of Duty Black Ops > Main Folder ( C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\call of duty black ops\main )

 

Once in this folder "Main", drag or copy / paste the config inside.

 

Start up Black Ops, Say no to the new pop ups and test it out.

 

NOTE: You may have to reset your player controls to default or to your liking.

If you keep receiving the "Call of Duty black ops server is not available at this time" message, you can try this:

 

Shut the game off and make sure it's not in the task manager processes.

If you have it on Steam, right-click the game in your library -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game files.

After you have done that, simply play multiplayer.

 

If the above fails, make an exception for Steam + BlackOps MP process in your anti-virus.

 

FOR BELOW YOU MUST SET CONFIG_MP.CFG TO READ-ONLY! Right-click it and set as read-only!

 

If you use a multi-core proc with a single video card, enter this into console or in your config_mp.cfg

seta r_multiGpu "0"
seta r_multithreaded_device "1"

 

If you use a multi-core proc with multiple video cards (SLI or Crossfire), enter this into console or in your config_mp.cfg

seta r_multiGpu "1"
seta r_multithreaded_device "1"

 

If you would like to improve performance you can try:

 

seta ragdoll_enable "0"
seta ragdoll_max_simulating "0"
seta com_maxfps "100"
seta cl_maxpackets "100"
seta cg_blood "0"
seta r_flameFX_FPS "10"
seta r_vsync "0"
seta sm_maxLights "2"
