Post Black Ops Fixes
NOTE: All console commands require a "/" in front of the command or it will display as text chat.

General Fixes:

source: http://gamers-underground.com/action-fp ... fixes.html

Game won't launch. Steam repeats "Performing first time setup..." procedure.
Manually download and install the latest DirectX End-User Runtime.


How can I remove the cap/limit on my maximum FPS?
com_maxfps 120


When trying to install off disc it gets hung up on "steam setup" then says "failed to run install script"
If you are on Windows XP; Start > Run > "C:\Program Files\steam\steam.exe -install E"
On Windows 7; Windows key + R "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steam.exe -install E"
If "E" is not your CD-ROM drive, change it!

Zeronium Reported in another thread that running in windowed mode caused far many less problems for him. I have not fully tested this matter my self but it is a possibility for people to test.

I went to the black ops/players/ directory and found a config.cfg file. Inside it are two flags:

MultiGpu - 1 for crossfire/sli - 0 for non crossfire/sli.
Multithreaded - 1 multicore cpu support - 0 for non multicore cpu support.

flags:
seta r_multiGpu "1"
seta r_multithreaded_device "0"
end flags.

Multiplayer Fixes:

Source: General knowledge

Black ops multiplayer like all previous cod games(not mw2) has a fps monitor built right into the game. I have had both is monitor and xfire or this monitor and fraps. The in game monitor is the most accurate.

console command:
cg_drawfps 1 --- to enable
cg_drawfps 0 -- to disable

I have my clan tag set on Steam, but the brackets are removed in game.
Remove your clan tag from your Steam name. Then in config_mp.cfg (Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty black ops\players) alter seta clanName "clantag" to match your clan tag - it will put it in square brackets.


How can I improve my hit registration and general network performance?
cl_maxpackets 100
snaps 30

Singleplayer Fixes:

credit: n/a

quote from another post:
A lot of people have been having some bad performance issues with the game (lag spikes, slow fps, screen tears, etc.). It appears that this is related to Steam.exe. Unfortunately this means that multiplayer will have to wait until they get a hotfix out for this. In the meantime, try this workaround:

In Steam click Steam on the menu bar and select "Go Offline"

Run Black Ops

Bring up the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc for Win7 (or Ctrl + Alt + Del Vista)

Under the Processes tab select 'Steam.exe' and click 'End Process'

This will hopefully help increase performance in your single player experience if you're having problems.

-Best of luck!



Testing:

Just a few minutes ago I went into multiplayer black ops. I was going looking in the menus for any idea of what might be able to help performance and decided to input the console commands in game. The commands in the configs them selfs(refering to the general fix top of post) I inputed directly into the console rather than config.

flags:
seta r_multiGpu "1"
seta r_multithreaded_device "0"
end flags.

both of those flags i directly inputed within the console. I have to test and see if the settings i changed within the cfg stuck in single player.(UI only changed the values in single player in the cfg file) On another note there was a settting within the cfg for single player that revered to memory. I changed the value to 4000mb from its 1024 mb value. I didn't notice any difference but I will report back with any more information I find.


update 2:
I am still testing everything but by setting multiGpu to 0 ( i don't have crossfire or sli) and setting multithreaded to 1 the main menu freezing of black ops was stopped. By default it seems black ops makes multiGpu 1 and multithreaded to 0/

update 3: I added the fps monitor details. This will help anyone for multplayer.

Quote:
This is for SP:

1. Start Steam in offline-mode or terminate the process Steam.exe once in the SP game.

These are for the MP:

1. Change cl_maxpackets:

Open Console (`)
Type cl_maxpackets 100
Close Game.

2. Disable Could sync:

Right click on Black Ops Multi in steam games
Go Properties -> Updates -> Untick Enable steam cloud sync.

3. Disable Ingame Steam:

Steam > Settings > In Game > uncheck “Enable Steam Community In-Game”

4. Lower the CPU Priority on Steam process:

open your CTRL, ALT, DELETE and get in Task Manager
click the "processes" tab - then click "steam.exe"
go down to "set priority" and set to "low".


Quote:
other tweaks you can enter in console
/cg_blood 0
/cg_brass 0
/seta ragdoll_enable 0
/seta fx_marks 0
/seta sm_maxLights 1
r_glow_allowed 0

/snd_losOcclusion "0"
/snd_global_attenuation "0"

whats funny is you can turn off sound occlusion in the sound options menu for single player but not for multiplayer

jock wrote something about it under the WAW tweaks section but it basically muffs sound based on materials only it doesn't work right and muffs everything
