COD Black Ops: PS3 Patch Update 1.04 is Live – Any Problems?

Its been an hour now since i updated the cod black ops

The update didnt fix any thing

OMG if its keep updating without fixing this shit i think iam going back to MW 2

Firstly, give them their due for listening to us gamers and TRYING to fix the problems but it just didn't work, after installing the update 3 of out my first 4 match's were ended early due to connection error (I've not had to reset PS3 yet today but only been on for an hour so) unlike a couple of days ago when it was 5-6 times in the space of 4 hrs.

There also appears to be more lag than ever when playing TDM yet it shows my signal as being full or one bar below full.

I do however, like the sound of the banning but depends on the reasons for example should all these people who hack prestige's, combat training to allow a heli after 1 kill & leaderboards (which are very poorly maintained) not all be instantly and indefinately banned?

I cant download the 1.04 patch.. I did everything they told to solve the problem, but the same error appear on the screen when i try to download. error code 80710092… hey guys do you have any suggestions ?

to anybody who reads this , its now tuesday da 14 :03 gmt and i can offically say black ops multiplayer is unplayable till new patch. man im gettin sick of COD think Im gonna change to BFBC.

It's WWWAAYYYYY worse since i have installed the patch 1.04. 9 times out of 10 i'm kicked out after 1 minute of play with a transmission error. I can't believe this has been tested before beeing relase. PATHETIC.

Thank god for Modern Warfare 2

Update made it worse! 3 freezes in one hour… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGh!

I think it did good for me no more lag for me and i havnt froze once

made the game even worse. i cant even finish a match now i always get kicked. very dissapointed.

Seems that the PS3 is having quite a lot of problems, specially with freezing and connections. I guess it really does suck.

I've been disconnected more in the past hour than I have been in a whole day of playing pre patch. Also, I find it complete crap that they "patched" Hardline Pro. A care package is a care package, regardless of whether it's a sentry gun, sam turret, or a random package. If it was that big of a deal, they should have just lowered the ratio more on getting a Chopper Gunner or Gunship from a re-roll. Fail Treyarch….FAIL.

Damn i can't even get the update. Been trying like an hr now it will reach 44% then gives me an error message before this i had no problem with the game ran smooth everything now i can't even play the damn game.

I agree. At least at revision 1.03, the goddamn game was playable. Now, it's not playable at all. I've been testing the patch all morning with various game types, and I just experienced my FIRST ever (in any game) hard freeze of my PS3 while in-game.

The lobbies have become shit, the connection issues are still there (connection interrupted, etc) Sometimes, I'll get lucky and be able to finish a match (to at least earn _some_ XP), but more often than not, the game will terminate right at the end, so no XP for me (or anyone else) that played the match.

Frankly, I'm pissed that I've spent 60 for the PS3 version, and another 60 for the PC version, and the PS3 version is shit now. I think I'll find a different franchise to dump my money in next time around, unless the Treyarch goons get their collective shit together and fix the mess that is patch level 1.04.

Ridiculous – fuck Activision, and Fuck TreyArch while I'm at it.

Signed,

Pissed

Me too. I cant download the 1.04 and the error is the same: 80710092. Help me please

it is definitely worse. now i can hardly play a full game without it disconnecting. this is a joke for a game worth 40 quid! everyman back to modern warfare 2!

Bull crap update patch. Always had strict Nat unless put mw2 in and always had probs joining friends unlike mw2 however until this patch had never had my ps3 freeze up now it does it every game nearly. Epic epic fail I think we should all be entitled to a refund for false advertising. Black ops does not have a multiplayer that’s useable anyway. Very angry

info@treyarch.com

spit youre comments here!!!

The patch has shitted up the servers even more.

Treyarch ur a joke, the new update don't work, if anything it's worse! Just played 3 games of TMD, result – 3 disconnects and if that's not bad enuff they all count as losses too! It's now become unplayable so Treyarch, you can stick ur game up your ass, I'm back on MW2!

Not been able to play a complete game since updating, absolute rubbish and feel ripped off

I've neen trying to join a game for 30 minutes and no success!!!!!!!! can't play multiplayer anymore.

I can't believe that so many people have posted so many PROBLEMS in the last few hours! 14 dec 2010 19:00 gmt.
Before the update i didn't notice any problems, except for losing a connection to a host (which i considered normal); now, however, the game has crashed 3 times in a row during play; after which a reboot is the only fix….crap!!!
please address the core problems first before trying to ban cheats!

downloaded on 2 ps3 both nat types were open after update 1.04 thay are now on strct makeing the game USELESS sort it out cod you lot suck at makeing games an should be banned rom doing so

Takes 10 minutes to join a game and then either freezes or disconnect, pointless.

I was fine until patch 1.3 and this one has made it worse

I can't even play this game, it freezes every match within about 30 seconds. I feel violated, thanks for gaping my bunghole Treyarch.

serious issues….since the patch I have not been able to play a complete game! The game locks up, shows disconnections and ends early, or the whole PS3 locks.

Piss poor effort Treyarch, I appreciate you listening to what we want and trying but you’ve got to do better than this, especially with the amounts of revenue this game has and is making. 25 minutes to get into a game is unreal and only being able to get into 1 out of about 10 HCTDM’s that I attempt is a flat out joke. Get the next patch RIGHT and get it out sharpish.

NOT HAPPY!

They failed with this patch. It made the whole MP more worse than it already was. They needed a whole month to make this patch but it seems they only spent a day on the PS3 one. Now they will need another month (according to their own statements) to make a new patch. The first one will probably fix patch 1.04 and after that they need another patch to fix the original problems (+1 month again) which sums up to 3 months total (including the time from release to now) to fix the startup problems.

I am so proud of this company.

I now cannot access ANY game and my account has been re-set to level 1…any one else been re-set for nothing?

I just got hardline pro i was so excited i was changing sam turret and sentry gun in to a something better like dogs or chopper gunner, now i can't anymore after this patch it only works on regular care packge, you guys broke the deal, it should work on every helli drop.

I had experienced connection problems probably at a rate of once an hour prior to this patch. Upon completion of the patch being installed I have made it through exactly three full games in the last hour and a half. With the exception of the clock issue a few months back I’ve never really had an issue with Sony this however, is very frustrating.

Worse, much worse than before the 1.04 patch. Truly, this has made Black Ops unbearable for me to play multiplayer anymore. This coming from someone who gladly Prestiged 10 times to Rank 70 on MW2.

Before this patch I seldom had issues with connections. Everything ran smoothly except every once in awhile. Now with this new patch I have nothing but issues. 75% of every game I get into loses connection and now it takes me forever to get into a game from the lobby. Needless to say it is very frustrating considering it was working perfectly for me before. Has this happened to anyone else?

new update sucks. still freezes and kicks you out of lobby every other game. everyone go back to mw2.

You all better figure this out. Wow what a headache this edition as been.

If anything made the game worst completed 1 game in two hours

man, this sux, treyarch dont u guys get enough money or what???? u fuckin bastards fix these problems mannn, i hope all of u will lose their fucking job, if i had known that, i would have buy bad company 2 or something wtf

still freezing , still transmission error , more hard to find games and soo dissapointed with this new update and COD series

my ps3 froze twice and just about every match is "connection interrupted." i ended up getting so angry i threw the controller and shut it down. I dont think this has anything to do with it but i wasn't on a winning team for the past couple hours. Just ridiculous!

The game is completely unplayable at this point. I can deal with disconnects whatever ya know… As long as i get a game every other time or so. But this is beyond anything i have ever seen. Its like they completely broke the game. Freezes your playstation to the point you have to restart it like half the times. Its a joke.

Maybe someone will get a class action lawsuit going so we can get our money back since the game is pretty much unplayable.

Please treyarch pass on making another call of duty..

wow i just sprayed the hard drive with patch remover and all the problems i' ve had with the 1.04 update have gone away!!! i'm no rocket scientist, but did anyone take the time to actually test 1.04 before launch. I'll call it THE PATCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS…enjoy your millions at Treyarch while we suck eggs. You can play for about 1.04 seconds before your disconnected so enjoy the patch!

i had no problems before this new patch but now i can't get into a lobby cos my NAT is stuck on strict. I've had to go back to mw2 where the NAT is open. Please hurry up and fix this cos i miss the better guns in black ops. I read somewhere that the ps3 deliberately chose lesser memory or something compared to xbox. That's what needs to be fixed not giving us patches that cause bigger problems.

Before the latest it update it was bad, since the latest update it is worse. I haven't gotten to play an entire match all the way through in the last hour, it's 10:30 PM here. Hey Treyarch, what the F*ck man? I feel like the $60 I spent on this game was a loss, it's like buying something that doesn't work.
Here's a couple of ideas:
1. Take all the money you spent on advertising last year and don't spend it on advertising, spend it on making the game 100% functional. You'd be decreasing unemployment, increasing the economy, and making a good name for your business.
2. Fire your jerk off, overpayed software engineers, and outsource this stuff to India on the cheap. Might bring down the price of the game for users to purchase, create a quality product.
3. Allow users to purchase a Beta version of the game for more money pre-release. For some reason, your testers seem to not have any of the problems users have, and we'll know on day one.
I want to punch you right in the balls Treyarch!

two words, CONNECTION INTERRUPTED.

this worked 4 me…the update changes your NAT type to mod or strict..you want it to say OPEN…exit game to your xmb go to network settings and redo your internet connection…..hope this helps

Absolutely horrible! Patch has made connecting to a game worse, even with NAT type open. Even my son, who is on Xbox, is having issues. Takes forever to find a match and when you do….you can barely play!

Out of 16 CTF matches, 4 went the distance. The rest ended by loss of connection. I also froze up twice. All in a 4 hour period. It also took an average of 4 minutes to find a match and when you did, you'd wait and then the dreaded "game room is closed'. WFT!!

Sad.

for one we have to give them a little break, there is alot of players playing this game, 2 is if you guys are going to complain, make sense in your sentences and try to spell some words right. Now on to the new patch, I too feel the same about it, its horrible, barely able to play and how do you expect us to complete contracts when matches go 2 minutes and then log us out, new patch blows i7OOL

Worse than before. I can't even get into a match now. Im going to Medal of Honor! I've had enough!!!

WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!

Can't even get into a game , yet alone finish one. Worst case of niggles I have ever witness and I am a car salesmen. Update it feels more like a VIRUS.

After this update it takes forever to find a game in zombies AND it freezes at round 20ish every time. This happen to a few ppl i know also so its just not me. Please release a working patch for these issues. Seriously its very annoying. Nothing like this ever happen before this new patch. WTF!?!?!?!?

Black Ops is terrible now
They really need to patch this fucking hit heap of what they call multiplayer
Its taking too long to join matches
the mtches I join are discon.
Seriously here are 3 things Im gonna demand for fucking this up
1. FIX THE FUCKING MULTIPLAYER
2. GIVE US DOUBLE XP FOR THE SHIT YOU PUT US THRU
3. RELEASE THE FUCKING CLASSIC ZOMBIE MAPS FOR THOSE OF US WHO DONT WANNA PAY AN EXTREME PRICE!

Just download V1.04 and the game's now almost unplayable. In 1 hour i've had to restart the PS3 from the plug as it completely crashes the entire system. When you do actually get a game the lag is worse than it ever was. Screen now disappear, loading screen don't actually show up etc. etc. Very very poor game Treyarch. Way to make your game unplayable.

wow treyarch really needs to get their act together. how many patches are needed? my game is still lagging like crazy, taking 10 minutes to get into a lobby, lobby closing every time i join, and freezing in the middle of shooting someone! i just bought it about 2 weeks ago and was having a great time until NOW! please send out a patch that will work out EVERY little bug. PLEASE!

A word of warning guys – if the game happens to freeze your PS3 while it's connecting to the servers on the multiplayer menu screen, your game data will be corrupted and your stats will be reset right back to Level 1. Happened to me last night, I was on level 46, 5 off prestiging and now I'm right back at the beginning! Thanks a bunch Treyarch, for forcing us all to upload your crappy update which has now made the game totally unplayable and also cost me my stats, a$$holes!!

After installing the patch I attempt to find a multiplayer game and it freezes the entire system. Seriously, was there any system or unit testing done for this patch? Horrible. PLEASE FIX!!!

Mate if that happens from your router try plugging it directly into your supplied modem. I had the same issue using my Linksys Wireless router even though it is hardwired to it. Had to plug straight into the Telewest supplied router.

Hope this works mate.

i have come away from it now before i put the control pad through the tv.
what a load of sh1t this is.
if my ps3 laser breaks i will put it soley down to this game, it freezes the game, the disk then spins and you can hear the laser working harder trying to get this turd to work.

since 8pm ( now 10pm) i managed to complete 4 games without it crashing, freezing so i need to turn off the console and turn back on again or timing out or refusing to connect to a game or connecting to a game and then booting before the game loads or network failing.

i give it 2 more weeks, if it is not fixed properly then i will be contacting the company for my money back, it is not fit for the purpose at the moment and they can give me my money back if i cant play it how it is meant to be played.

WHY CAN'T I MUTE ANYONE NOW???

In the XMB delete your game save data and game data utility for Black Ops, all of your online stats will still be there, you will lose single player stats though, I decided to check this and found that the patch actually loaded into game save data and not where it should have in GAME DATA UTILITY…After deleting and redownloading everything works like it should!!!!

Steps to do this:

1. in the XMB under games where you would click on the disk to load black ops scroll up to where it says saved data utility.
2. delete this data, what will happen is you will lose all of your campaign progress and on your custom classes you will lose whatever you have named them but all of your classes will be the same and no online progress will be lost. just rename them
3. scroll up a little more to game data utility and click it and delete the black ops data, you will NOT lose any online progress.
4. now go reload the game up and it will require you to redownload the patch and you should be up and running.

happy gaming

We were not able to personally test this at RipTen – but we emailed the solution to readers who said it fixed most of the issues immediately.

*The solution is not perfect but will fix the patch for the user who corrected it. If the host of the match has not corrected this problem you can still have issues. The more people who correct this, the less issues people will have.

Note: This is not an authorized solution given by Treyarch

I done the update a few days ago and since then ive been having problems like 1 bar connection all the time no matter what and im not doing anthing on my laptop or computer.

TREYARCH PLZZZZZZZZZ FIXXXXXX THISSSSSS

Deffinantly didn't fix the matching problems I'm a 2nd prestige and spawned into a game that had no one over lvl 30
connection problems are worse for me now my party keeps being broken up I get booted from games when I'm doing really well causing me to lose match bonus and my temper because it's not very often I'm on the top of the score chart due to being pretty much a "noob"

After downloading the new patch for Black Ops (ps3) I experienced even worse multiplayer gameplay than before the patch. Since the release of Black ops the Lag issues have made the multiplayer experience very frustrating and almost unplayable. The lag issues were so horrible that I have barely even been playing multiplayer and about 2 weeks before the last patch, the lag seemed to have disappeared and I actually for once was able to begin enjoying this game. Then the new patch comes out, completely messed up everything.
It takes well over a half hour to get all my clan members in a room together to get a match, (usually involves regrouping a handful of times, backing out, changing hosts until we seem to get lucky) Then when you get in a match, I rarely ever get 4 green bars now, (I've seen it once since the patch where before the patch I was always getting all green bars) When shooting a player, the hitmarkers dont register on a clearly placed chest shot, and when watching kill cams, the gameplay of what I experienced vs what the other player saw is completely different. WTF Black ops!!! Get it right or I will not be buying the next COD and I encourage others to boycott COD until they are able to release a fully functional game, not one that takes multiple patches and over 2 months to correct…

I have tried everything from changing my DNS settings to playstation's servers, google's servers, port forwarding, Upnp enabling, and usually am seeing higher than a 6mb download speed so I know it is not my connection. I am completely frustrated and over black ops until you guys at Tray Arch get it right….

Thanks for posting all your comments.now I know how much it sucks.but I still don’t know if I should get it? Any ideas?

Alright I was playing today nd it asked me if I wanted to do this update so i did it. This happens every single time, it says please wait and turns off but it still has the green light so i tried it again and this time it started blowing in the back with the fan then the red button started blinking someone has to help me please!!!! It drives me crazy!!!

Wish I waited till now before I bought black ops, people are that fed up with it that u can pick up the game from the charity shops for a few quid. The connectivity issues are infuriating.

only problem iv ad is that when im making a new emblem it undoes it.
for example….say i put on the smilie face it will undo it and it would take many tries to make it stay on.

few minor issues not copnnecting and not laoding or just plain getting kicked out for no reason,also i got the update like a few days ago,and now when i down someone…i get the kill team or enemy, but if i shoot someone else who is down like the enemy..who ever put them there gets the kill and i get nothing, i think i should get the kill and the other person a good assist bonus or something it's not stealing a kill it's helpin the team out and i dont think that if people got a good bonus for putting someone else down and not killing them themselves and letting someone else get the kill,not sayin add like a thousand points but like 75 maybe, and the spawns are a lil rediculous sometimes, like ill be in behind the enemy as they spawn…once again i have nooo problem with that but other people might so just thinking for some people i know who play cod

when you play a multiplayer match and set the kill streaks then when you start to play player 2,3,and 4 can not get any killstreaks also if they make a class the it will not save
