Patch on PC seems to have massively improved things, that along with tweaking my settings has the game mostly running without issue. Still have the settings a bit below what they should be and I'm afraid to push them any higher.

Jetpacking feels really good.

So, what tweaks are those? Because this runs like garbage for me and I have a 970 and am only playing at 1680 x 1050.

Also, does it lose campaign progress all the time? Or only when it kicks you off the servers and has you play singleplayer offline?

yeah, online campaign progress and offline are different which is stupid

continuing from the safehouse sent me to the previous mission. so i quit and started the new mission manually, but that sent me back to the safehouse. seems to work now, though

Netcode is still loving garbage, Javes gave me a false positive. :sigh:

I've been having some really weird problems with multiplayer that I've never encountered in a game before (this is my first COD since MW3) but I'm not sure if it's lag or not? I really can't think of what else it could be. Basically, I keep dying a lot in situations where me and another player see each other at the exact same time (both coming round a corner, for example) and we both aim and shoot each other at the exact same time, and I die. Normally this wouldn't bother me but when I watch the killcam, it shows that they saw me about a second or two before I saw them, which is impossible, and I don't start shooting at them (in the killcam) until they've riddled me with bullets and I'm nearly dead.

It's weird because the game doesn't feel laggy at all, nobody is teleporting around and the scoreboard shows everyone at four green bars, but I keep dying to all these situations where the killcam shows that people see me and start shooting at me before they actually do. It's weird and like I'm playing a second or two behind everybody else? I've never encountered anything like this in a multiplayer game before and I even went back and played some Modern Warfare 3 on PS3 a couple months ago and that game didn't have any problems like this. It's frustrating because I can only kill people by shooting them in the back right now, any actual gunfights are impossible since I seem to be experiencing the game a second or two slower than everyone else.

The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

Yeah this is insane, it's bouncing between 80ms and 400ms pings and i basically wind up spending matches shooting down killstreaks i'm feeding the other team because i cant win a 1v1 gunfight because i'm just staring at everyone in the killcams

I got a UI error while playing campaign and opening up the weapon customization. Had to restart the game on PS4 because my menus disappeared. :psyduck: The default pistol is so lovely, it actually breaks the game when you try to load the model apparently.

Seriously, that thing might as well have NERF printed on the side.

I keep feeling like I've suddenly gotten terrible at CoD but then if you look at the scores it seems like at least 9 out of 12 players have broken even or have a negative KDR at the end of any given round. Did they balance this game by making everyone suck now?

You realize KD ratio is a zero-sum game, right? Its relative. But the matchmaking does seem to sprinkle good players among teams of bad players, but the servers just came out. Hopefully skill matchmaking will improve.

PC player here. I've got a GTX 560 and the game looks and runs like garbage. I've been out of the loop on components for years, anyone have recommendations on a midrange 7 or 9 series that won't be bottlenecked too badly by a Phenom II x4 955?

There was a Workerthreads = "2" fix for the .ini file but supposedly the patch makes that unneccesary.

In the graphics options, make sure 'sync every frame' is checked and make sure you set the frame limit to 60 or lower, you may have to drag the bar around to turn it on or something. I was originally running at 62 fps most of the time with massive lag. Forcing 60 or 59 helped a lot.

Turn off ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering, and order independent transparency or whatever. Also don't do ultra textures unless you have a stupid amount of graphics RAM.

A cool thing this game does is that even if you have a 144Hz monitor and have the ingame refresh rate set to 144Hz it only runs at 60FPS unless you edit the ini

edit: I can't believe there's a menu option for this that I somehow missed despite visiting the Graphics options multiple times

I was finally getting a feel for the game and started doing well, so the game rewarded me by kicking me off the servers

I did notice that if you join a game in progress and lose, it says that the loss doesn't count against you. So that's nice of them I guess.

Has anyone else had trouble getting an open NAT in this one? I have all the necessary ports forwarded and a static IP set up for the xbone and the game itself and the xbone settings themselves report an Open NAT, but the game only reports Moderate. What gives?

Did you forward the COD-specific port 3075? The console (both Xbone and PS4 I believe) want you to forward 3074 to get an open NAT on their services, but COD wants 3075 forwarded as well. I did that and my in-game NAT immediately went from moderate to open.

If you go to Options, Network and highlight the NAT section it'll tell you what port to forward. Mine specified 3074 (UDP only). Of course, my router being a piece of poo poo I ended up using DMZ mode and forwarding everything to the PS4 which also works.

Seriouschat, go straight for the flaming-bees Chaos tree and don't look back. It sounds cool to be able to hack robots and tanks, but 90% of the time you have to kill everything else to get the hack off without being interrupted, so you end up controlling a tank, and with gently caress all to shoot. If anything it's basically a 'skip this long boss-esque fight' button unless it's a actual boss, and nothing will work. :argh:

Originally I thought the campaign was a bit of a piss-take on the rest of the games, but as it goes along, it becomes painfully obvious it's just awful writing. :sigh: Co-op ramps up crazily though. A area with normally only a handful of normal dudes, maybe one sniper and a few drones becomes a army with non-stop waves of drones, and snipers loving everywhere with four players.
