  Interesting, but not performing for all, as stated ....

I did the operations on my comp, exactly as described, it changed some DX files, I rebooted the system, and now it seems worse... Maybe I'll re-install the complete game, because I had some important Direct X  messages the first time I launched... Please be aware all that tis is NOT a good thing for everyone's computer... (Mine: a 8400 E dual core at 3ghz - NVIdia 295 GTX on a P5ND asus motherboard...., with should be more than enough to run the game, and wich corresponds + or - to the tested computer in the above link....)

here is one

one of the lag problems coems from the fact that its a console port and some settings are made for console, why didnt they change server settings for pc, i have no idea.

but max_rate is set at 5000 and should be set at 25000 server side.

i guess they are fixing this atm, now there are other lag problems to fix and its cpu related, 

the game wants to use only one core but should use all of them

hope they know how to fix this, but my guess is its not that hard to make those changes and wont be long

Thats correct ChKn, there will be a patch coming out in the next day or two that will fix many of these issues. I am also hoping the server browser will be fixed to show all the servers so we can get into ours.

for my part i dont have any lag

but i see lot of people suffering lol

 

i came across other problems with this game that i think they need to fix

but we can wait a bit for those

 

- when trying to play zombies with friends and if there is a connection problem, it tries in vain to connect, and there is no 'cancel' button lol

the only way to get away from the loop is to ctrl alt del and end game process.

 

and the other bugs, well im too drunk to remember lol

back to the topic.

 

for anyone experiencing lag, try this:

 

open ur config_mp.cfg file. it should be located in Parogram file/ steam /steamapps / common / call of duty black ops / players / ...

 

search for these 2 lines:

seta r_multiGpu "1"
seta r_multithreaded_device "0"

 

and change them accordingly to your system.

this means if u have 1 video card (no sli, no crossfire) :

 

seta r_multiGpu "0"

 

and the more important, if u have a dual core, quad core, ..

 

seta r_multithreaded_device "1"

 

this will help a lot of people with lag problems i guess

 

edit: oh yea u may also try to turn vsync off in game menu

Kinda works. It stops the stuttering but I still freeze up.

[CplMOFO]

It works for me!

I knew it wasn't my computer. Hopefully, it's permanent.

 

Mine was set to SLI/Crossfire 1 and I have a single card .

Mine was set to multithread 0 and I have a Quad...

 

so I guess the default config was using only one core on the CPU....
