Why this game QUICKLY needs to be patched / List of problems - Steam Users' Forums
A list of problems that not just I had, but obviously many other players:
* "Downloading game settings" appears continuosly, but doesn't disappear anymore
* "Connecting..." isn't possible
* "Connecting..." takes very long (this includes the "Fetching stats"-window)
* Connecting to game-servers isn't possible
* Connecting to game-servers takes even longer
* Lags occur at several servers, although the ping is fine
* Stuttering game/Low FPS-rate on SP + MP (-> too high CPU-usage, too low GPU-usage?)
* Stuttering killcam
* Stuttering game/Low FPS-rate when looking at other players or while in gunfights
* Stuttering while in the menus
* Players lose levels/Players go back to lvl 1 (-> game-files differ from online files?)
* Players lose clan-tags, emblens and callsigns, also created classes get resetted sometimes
* Game doesn't shut down proper (you get an alert when starting the game, where you can choose to reset all settings except for the controls)
* Error-message when starting the game: "Your computer appears to have change since the last time you ran Call of Duty..." and so on
* Players sometimes have no sound
* Random crashes
* Random crashes while in the game, requiring hard reset
* Random crashes with console saying the clantag was corrupted
* Loading-screen-crash when loading the second map while being on the same server
* Too few (or none?) servers close to Korea
* No "stop"-function on the server-browser (makes it hard to choose a server from the list, because the list constantly moves)
* No option for a maximum-latency in the server-browser
* Not possible to play zombie-games
* Zombie-level 5 extremely laggy
* No servers shown in the server-browser
* Added favorites don't show up under "Favorites"
* Players can't join games unless they added the server to favorites
* Random freezes while in the menus
* Game freezes while "waiting for other players"
* Theatre doesn't work sometimes to always
* Game sometimes disconnects people from the internet
* Game sometimes disconnects people from the internet when refreshing the server-browser
* Server-connection-issue: "Server disconnected; Game session no longer available"
* Killstreak-bug: After achieving killstreaks it's not possible to use them
* Inviting or joining friends doesn't work sometimes
* Friends have problems with joining the same team/get mixed up
* Game sometimes minimizes itself
* Game takes too long to reconnect after being minimized, so you sometimes get disconnected
* Players have problems to find and join their own servers
* Players often respawn inside the line of sight of enemies
* When cancelling a connection to a server while on the server-browser the game often switches back to the main menu instead of staying at the server-browser
* No dinosaurs (another problem I experienced, too)
Singleplayer only:
* Black screen instead of the game
Please add any problems that aren't listed.
