First Impressions!

Re: First Impressions!

So Ive been reading some of the flame threads in other forums and someone mentioned that sv_maxrate is set to something really low and rasing it to 25000 may help on the lag. Anyone try that?

Someone also mentioned setting the process priority level on steam.exe to low helps with the lag. Might try that some.

I know you all shouldnt have to do these things and its not great, but its something to try until they get the patches rolling.

The problem is in the server config. It doesn't matter what you do to your client config, the server is set to /sv_maxrate 5000. Gameservers is aware of the problem and intend to raise it up to 25000, the way it's SUPPOSED to be.

Re: First Impressions!

Thanks crunch,

yeah it's tough for me to play a game and actually enjoy playing despite the immature teenie boppers who think they "pwn" because they are using every cheat in the book. It's just not right and I can't belive that server admins allow it to happen all the while silencing the so called "whiners" (yes I've been called one) through kicks and bans because they call out the guy with the 43/2 KD. Trust me guys in a 32 player conquest server, if a guy is scoring 43/2 KDs consistently this is a good sign the idiot is using hacks.

Re: First Impressions!

Yet to see any hackers (this happens with like every game I swear, everyone else I hear from says its rampant and I see like one max...)

Re: First Impressions!

I understand Akula, its not easy being good at a game. Ive been banned a few times in BC2 just because the admins were tired of me having a great KDR for that game. Admining a server isnt what it used to be. There are few that actually do a good job, but they are too few. My best game in 2142 I was 54/7 and was banned on the server. No hacks involved, I just had a great game. I dont blame them for banning me, but it kinda makes me sad when it happens.

Re: First Impressions!

i think the thing that pisses me off the worst is that if i get the drop on a guy and empty half a clip into him, he still has a great chance of dropping me with a magic headshot. right now this game just makes me enraged to the point where all i play is that leaked top-down game which is actually fun.

nobody ever uses cover in this game.

Looks like they are rolling that out, maybe:

Hello,

This is in response to your ticket regarding Lag. We are in the process of rolling out an update to the black ops server configuration. This will be automatic. After testing, we have found that our update will significantly improve performance on ll servers.

No action is required to be taken by you. Please, we appreciate your patience. This roll out will happen in the next 2-4 hours. Please wait 24 hours before submitting any additional support requests regarding lag, as your issue will likely be resolved as a result of this change.

Thank you,

Zachary Williams

Re: First Impressions!

Just a quick note that quickcoping hasn't been nerfed that bad. You scope in pretty much in the center of you screen and as long as you fire when you're fully scoped in you're fine. The L96 is absolutely badass.

Re: First Impressions!

But the bullets just fly where ever the **** they want, and even when you steady aim and try to snipe normally, the bullets still don't seem to work about 1/3 of the time. And another 1/3 of the time it lags and the ****ing killcam shows that you didn't really fire those three shots at the guy who just spawned RIGHT ****ING BEHIND YOU. You imagined it. You stood there like a dick and waited for him to knife you.

It makes me sick. They were entrusted with one of the most well-known brands in entertainment history, and they didn't give a ****. They cashed in on the name and threw out some **** that an indie developer would be ashamed of.

Re: First Impressions!

Waiting for the scope to come up isn't quick scoping though. It's quicker scoping, but not the real quick scoping. As said, there aren't any maps that give you many opportunities to scope like that.

Now, I am not defending Treyarch. I think you have every right as a paying consumer to be mad. With that said, it could be with all the lag issues and things not being set and worked out yet that it is bad and may improve a lot more once all this lagginess is fixed. CoD is well known for laser accurate weapons and for them to put a cone in it, like the bf games, just doesnt seem right or what they would have intended.

Or it could be exactly like that and how it was designed, which would go way out there in left field on as no other CoD did that, that I recall. I know in both 4 and W@W they had to adjust the hitbox indications, but in MW2, they had it worked out. I dont have Black Ops, so I cant really say. I am just reading in other forums and a lot of people say the weapons are accurate. The video I posted shows it being accurate. Of course that may be Xbox or PS3 and not PC.

These first day release issues are a pain for sure. Coulda Woulda Shoulda but didnt.

Re: First Impressions!

I'll have to record a video of me shooting a Dragunov into a stationary target's face to no effect, even in Combat training.
I'll get right on that...

Re: First Impressions!

Im not saying its not happening. I dont doubt for a minute, especially you saying so. Im just pointing out that lag issues tend to cause hit indicator problems and MAYBE that is why its that bad. Also, looking at the history of CoD games that this issue has popped up before though weapons in CoD games are usually laser accurate.

Re: First Impressions!

Glad to hear they are rolling out the max rate 25000 fix as from what i have heard it completely resolves the in game multiplayer lag (simply because the original 5000 max rate was a console setting )

Not sure if they have applied it yet so has anyone seen a difference in MP?

About hackers: VAC is still using the delayed ban principle, so the hacker herd may yet be culled.
