Dear Activision,

I got problems with the game i bought from you.
Call of Duty Black Ops
This game gives me a Fatal Error message in my Console (outside the game) And i got some times a DirectX error but i installed the newest DirectX but this seems nothing to fix.

I hope you could help me with this.

Best Regards
Patrick

Update your Visual C++ files here. If it gives you a chose to Repair or Uninstall, please Repair.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2

DirectX10 and DirectX 11 are not updates to DX 9, they are separate libraries. You still need to keep DirectX9 up to date by running dxsetup.exe from the extracted files.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d

?You can verify the integrity of the game files in the Steam client. In the Steam client right-click on the game and select properties. Click on the local files tab and click the "Verify integrity of game cache" button. You will need to do this for the single player and multiplayer game executables.

Shut down your background programs using the following procedure:
1. Click on your start button and then go to the RUN option.
2. In the open area type MSCONFIG
3. When the MSCONFIG program comes up click on the tab marked STARTUP
4. Uncheck all background programs in this list. They are non-essential.
5. Click on Apply and then close this window.
6. Reboot your system and when you get back to Windows, before you do anything, run another dxdiag report. Save the txt file.
7. Try the game again.

Customer (patrick 't hoen) 11/18/2010 10:57 AM
Nope sorry sir i still got crashes?

Is there any news about when the update will come?
I guess this is an technical problem from the server side?

Thanks

Response (Nick Bee) 11/18/2010 02:11 PM
Send us a copy of your system information. Go to Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Information. This will bring up the system information tool. Go to the top menu and select file->Save. This will save a file with all of your system information. Save it to your desktop. You can name it sysinfo.nfo. Attach this file to the support incident.

Customer (patrick 't hoen) 11/18/2010 02:43 PM
By here my sysinfo.nfo file

I guess this error is not from my system but we will know it soon..

2) Click on Run (Windows Key + R)
3) Type in msconfig
4) Click on Startup Tab
5) Click on Disable all
6) Click on Services tab

4. Click on Startup Tab
5. Click on Enable all
6. Click on Services tab

Still crashes i already have send the DxDiag.txt and the Sysinfo.nfo...
I'm not going to do this twice i know its not a problem of our side (my side) The problem is because of the game (Server side)
Allot of people are complaining about it on the Black Ops forums (Fatal Error) There should be an update this night (tomorrow i dont know)
Hope this will fix it or i'll just go for a refund.

Thanks anyway

Patrick.

If Black Ops is going down like they did with Modern Warfare 2 than please give me my money back!

Patrick,

I have notice from your DxDiag your display driver is from 10-16 and there is a updated driver from 10-25. Update your video driver to the 10-25 version and make sure it's being displayed in the DxDiag.

Unfortunately, we cannot handle refunds directly, as our distributors take the product back in bulk from retailers. You will have to return the product to where purchase was made.

I can't get my money back because they wont take it back....

This is because of the CD-Key ...
So **** you

Customer (patrick 't hoen) 11/27/2010 03:11 PM
O and by the way. Do you really think this update will fix this **** problem? Get a **** life fool! Its just this **** pc version of the game that is so horrible... We all know xbox is more for the gamers and we all know you and Treyach and what codvs did IGNORE THE PC SO THEY KNOW WE GOT THERE MONEY! Yeah sure do that but there will be a day where no one of the pc will buy your game and than you will wish you never ignored us. Hope whole Activision will lose there money and i hope they are going down! for always.

Customer (patrick 't hoen) 11/27/2010 04:38 PM
So here is my new DxDiag.txt with the newest drivers!
Can you now explain me why i still crash ingame?
Do i **** need to record it?
Is it so hard to code a game good?
Is it so hard to give us a good update instead of bullshit?

I guess it is !

Your later responses are not mature at all and sound like an angry pre-teen. I give them kudos for sticking with you as long as they did. Had you started talking like that to me, our conversations would have ended.

I understand your frustration, but treating people like **** that are obviously trying to help you is not the way to go. Perhaps be mature and show them some respect for attempting to help you, when most likely you will need to wait for a patch to fix your issue anyway.

Just my two cents.

yea sure give them kudos when they deny there is any fault in the game also....cause belive or not they will never admit the fault is with them....kudos to activision kudos....KUDOS MY ASS...they deserved to be put out of business

To be honest, if he's having all those problems, I can understand his attitude and demenor. A $60 game should not cause these kinds of issues, PERIOD. Luckily I'm not having the same problem. Being it's still around Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for that!!

well even if they dont fix this there will always be some naive people willing to buy their next version hoping it will be better....and if activison doesnt know whats goign on asking might be a great idea rather then just damaging their reputation......thats already happend i guess and as for Treyarch...it would have taken them 30 sec to post on forum whats going on...do the care so little that they cant make effort to do that considering how many has problems...they could have said we workign on it...given what time they expect to be done...and sorry so many has problems...but no...they couldnt do that ONE very simple thing......and that makes me loose all respect for both companies....cuase it tells me they care about one thing...and thats money...like many have said before they seem more willing to help consol gamers rather then those with PC...so who knows...maybe they hope to drop PC games and focus on consol

What do you expect the guy to do? He has provided everything they ask for then they ask for it again. I am having the same issues, all my drivers are up to date everything runs fine except Black Ops.

It pisses me off how all the issues and fixes for them are being posted by customers or other 3rd parties..... No help from Activision or Treyarch.

im on my cell phone now:p..just wanted to add yes respect is imortant...and yes support helpers..are not to blame personaly..BUT they represent a company that at the moment are showing us the customers NO respect by not informing us whats going on...if they respect customers they would get the same back..they dont so support workers face the heat and should expect that

seta r_multithreaded_device "0" and change the "0" to "1"
I hope it helps

Thats an excellent system and it shouldn't have any problems with the game. Things I would do are:
1. Check gpu drivers
2. Run Memtest86+ to make sure your memory isn't failing and stress test your GPU to make sure it isn't failing(I had the same problem with BFBC2 and it turned out to be my memory, then a month later my old GTX 260 took a dump)
3. After you determine the others are ok reinstall the system and start from scratch. You might have parts of an old driver on it that's conflicting with your current driver. If you deleted your driver, then may have also deleted something else you should not have.
