If the game is working poorly on your PC, and you’re sure you fit the system requirements, there’s several things you could do.

  • Play in fullscreen, not fullscreen windowed.
  • Disable antialiasing.
  • Set max framerate to 60.

    Spend most of the time on this game in the main menu, activision need to sort this out asap, unless a lot of gamers will be returning the game back to the shops,
    It must be an easy fix to sort out as it doesn’t happen in advance warfare,
    About 15 times now this game has either froze of server disconnected , not fkin happy…….

    I bought the game for the Xbox One last week, tried to install it 3 or 4 times onto my Xbox, but everytime I start the game, it gets to the Activision window, goes black screen and completely re starts the Xbox. I’ve gone as far as to reinstall factory settings on the Xbox but with no success.

    Is it a case of waiting for the next update/patch, or should I send the game back and try a new disc?

    Thanks,

    I have notice different problems on PS4, especially when playing the campaign online at realist level: 1) the Combat Movement (walks on wall, super jumps) doesn’t work, apparently it works only randomly from a save to another; 2) Sometime the special action icon disappears even if the last selected is still available, to activate it you have to press only R1 rather than the pair R1 + L1; 3) Dying in certain missions at realist can cause a loop because the system respawn you at the same point and time, when you’ve been hit (mission 10, when you have to break into the VTOL’s room from the high). I’m playing the 37.25.30.4 version.

    This game has been nothing but a complete waste of money from the xbox360 and my xbox one. Get it together. They should just remake the game or have better servers or something. This is fucking ridiculous. Nothing but greedy mother fuckers making terrible shit for there own personal wealth. I will more then likely never buy another cod game. Not that it matters or will even do anything for them but still. Way to go Activision, Beenox, Bink Video, havox, Demonware, Dolby Digital, Microsoft, Id technology, Entertainment Software Association, Treyarch, and whoever the guys are that made this game!!!!!! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!

    biggest pile of shit ever made activision couldnt make games in the 70″s still cant make games 45yrs later..ahhhh LAG OPS 3..extra portions of host migration, a side plate of extra lag, followed up with a dessert of lost connection to host, you might get a slight taste of server told to disconnect from listen service, with just a hint of server timed out, you might be lucky enough to get a helping of error codes a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z, then ontop of this magnificent meal before you can eat you must update the receipe with a 2.3gb update and an extra 700mb of topping, but wait theres more …when you open the recipe you realise theres no writing anymore and you can only look at the recipe online only, but on the back page of this recipe theres usually a disclaimer but on this one theres discrimination against people who own this receipe because theres a better recipe out and there just concentrating on that one and if you cant afford this new recipe book because of funds you might aswell act like a chicken and go stuff yourself..

    I buy Black Ops 3 for my PC my SO is W10, inside the package there are 6 dvd’s: It took a long time to install, and and when finished installing, when I wanted to run BO3 , Steam simply said … Run ,,, and ready to play, but not starting. I was desperate, spent € 59 with the game and Steam does not do the proper job. I am angry !
    I think the team that developed the game is worth nothing

    hard wired. 80mps upload. xbox1. NAT OPEN. Whenever someone in the game speaks into their headset, my screen freezes. Every. damn. time. SO, I have to permanently keep all but party muted…and NOT play in a party. On top of that, I’ll join a lobby or two where 5+ rounds seem to get the kill. Anywher on the body. But more often than not, it takes 14+ rounds to the chest and head. But I die instantly. As if everyone playing CODBOPS3 has a titanfall smart pistol and I’m blasting a supersoaker. wtf

    I just bought this game a few days ago, im playing PS3.
    This sh!t doesnt work..i get the same error messages as the rest of you…
    When i finally get in a game it either kicks me out, freezes or the connection is so bad that i envy a 128kb modem-even though my connection is 50/50 Mbps.

    Come on Treyarch…did Anonymous hack your shit or what.

    Hey guys,

    I have a problem with the Dual Wield achievement in Multiplayer where you need to kill 10 players for the rank 1. I’ve played several games with the first pistol and dual wield attachin domination and kill confirm in hardcore mode but the achievement stays 0/10. Was wondering if I was the only one or you guys already knew the issue.

    Sophie

    I bought the xbox360 bo3 and it was terrible, I got it the 6th of November(the day it came out) and was not one server online. I thought maybe I’ll give it a day or two, servers started to appear, but they are glitching, you enter a full lobby it says waiting for more players, other servers have no maps showing up or just as the game starts the server crashes, it’s crazy!! And when you do get on a game it usually cuts out or says migrating hosts, whenever it says migrating hosts it freezes my whole xbox and the other day my control froze too and kept vibrating, all the battery was drained. I did not pay all that money for a pile of shit, not only have they removed the features but they can’t even get a fucking server running, dreadful.. I advise everyone not to purchase until ALL problems are fixed..?

I already restarted my ps4 and shut it off for half a hour with no use.

      Firstly I’m on Xbox one. I get an error that says A.F.G.H.I.J.K. Etc an the solution is to wait till the number in the top right says 33.1.9.1 but mine is always a variant of 37.something. I can’t get mine to stay connected for more than half a domination game.
