Unplayably laggy on 360 post-patch

(FrankieGodskin) #1

DL’d the patch, and the lag is atrocious. I’m walking into walls and haven’t had more than 5 seconds of continuous gameplay without game-breaking lagginess. I’ve spent the last hour with the screen skipping, or being frozen in place, or finding myself behind cover one second and unexplainably out of cover and 3 feet to my right a second later. I tried a dozen different games, hoping at first it was just a bad host. I bought this game for the multiplayer and can’t even play it.

I agree I’m having the same exact issues, the multiplayer lag issues are unplayable the whole point of this game is playing with friends online and it’s pointless, it needs to be fixed. I’ll give them a few days if it doesn’t im taking the game back, how can you make a game based around multiplayer then have such a terrible match making and lag problem?

(GarrettMickley) #3

This worries me. I hope it’s fixed by the time I get home from work today. Then again, Black Ops was down for a few hours on it’s launch day and look how successful that was. Hopefully it all gets worked out.

I’ll guess I will wait week or two before getting the game then.

Yes, the lag makes the multiplayer unplayable. I keep skipping and freezing all over the place. Anyone know why the co-op campaign is grayed out? I want to at least try that with a friend but I can not select it from the menu. We need another patch pronto, this is not good for release day. I rather they take the servers down for a fix then keep us in the dark with this lag fest. I’ve waited so long for this I don’t mind waiting a few more hours or a day for an ultimate fix.

I’m sure the 360/ps3 is p2p, so there ain’t any servers to fix! This isn’t what I wanted to hear…

(FrankieGodskin) #8

Sorted out now. Everything’s running great.

(DazTroyer) #9

How, when, why?

Would be very interested in how you fixed it seeing as I’ve downloaded the patch and still have not been able to move in a multiplayer game. I have zero issues with other 360 games online so I don’t know why this one would be causing such trouble aside from the fact that it’s poorly put together.

(FrankieGodskin) #11

I see now that the lag comes and goes. Sometimes I’ll have a streak of great games with no lag, and other times I’ll be stuck in an unplayable mess.

(Mobius32) #12

definately needs to be fixed. I’ve found that there’s less lage if you play with the “old skool” match settings (plus, no bots!), but it can still get pretty bad

title clearly says 360 :stuck_out_tongue:

(DwnNdirty) #15

Nobody plays black ops anymore because they’ve all realized how bad of a game it is… not bad on the lag but everything else. The problem with this game is just the lag. If they fix it, which is obviously something in-game because many other non-dedicated server games don’t lag as much, I and many more will be SOOOO happy on the 360. So fix it fast!

Please listen to the pleas of your loyal fan-base and fix the lag of online matches for Xbox 360.

Come on, do it for the kids! They are the future, after all.

I think you must be missing something, the option to set up the game so that friends can join (after you launch the game) is the box above the grayed out one.

Coop is all me and my friends are playing because the MP is all laggy.

This lag needs to be fixed asap. I have faith they can do it.

CoD 2 on Xbox 360 was as bad as this every game pretty much when it came out, then they patched and it became amazing.

Please SD, I love your new IP Brink. Now let me play it online with my friends.

“the team’s still working on Brink’s biggest problem – lag. This is holding back the 360 version, and the studio knows it”

“This is holding back the 360 version, and the studio knows it”

Yeah… so fix it asap!
