Patch 1.04 is live

[scottscorpion]

just turned on cod and had to download new patch

Here is a full list of things to come with patch 1.04:
IN PROGRESS
Patch 1.04 is nearing the end of Phase 2 testing. Going into Phase 3 submissions on 12/6.

Issues Addressed:
• Resolved several issues with parties getting disbanded unexpectedly.

• Additional measures to prevent the “Transmission error” and other disconnects. This was most likely to occur with large parties where party members had mixed NAT types.

• Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to improve matchmaking conditions where users had strict or moderate NAT types. Also added in-game communications so that all players are aware of their NAT type in the Player Match party lobby.

• Addressed an issue with VOIP icons not appearing when USB headsets were plugged in prior to game launch.

• Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige.

• Addressed an issue where Flak Jacket Pro would not always protect against ground fires left by Napalm Strikes.

• Prevention of users losing their killstreak reward when switching classes at the start of a new round in round-based game modes.

• Addressed an issue where the incorrect perks would appear when spectating another player under certain circumstances.

• Added round start explosive delay to China Lake grenade launcher to give it the same round start limitations as other explosives.

• Contracts will now reset when the player Prestiges.

• Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions.

• Prevention of Gunship failing to give player full control under rare conditions.

• Prevention of an issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances.

• Additional security measures to enhance detection and banning capabilities.

Gameplay Tuning:
• Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops.

• Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates.

• Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users – increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types.

• Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots.

• Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.

• Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time.

• Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.

[scottscorpion]

no difference really, i only played zombies though, and a quick few games of team tatical

[Copyright]

Still no freezing fix? I'll carry on playing elsewhere then.

[Wiggy_]

Maybe I can get to play the game now, Damn stupid thing.

[fearofflying85]

Updated and it bloody froze.

[SynYster505]

ehh. im not getting my hopes up.

[fearofflying85]

This is getting stupid now. I can't get into a game now. Just keeps on searching, but never puts me in one.

[jake the ssnake]

Glad my 360 copy came today so I can sort of get an idea on how this game should run

[Apocalypse-]

Thanks

[emmerich]

It was pretty damn bad before. Now it's worse. It went from lagging all the time to not even letting me in a game now. Wish I never sold my Xbox version.. was perfect.

[Suley]

The patch has fixed a lot of lag issues

[Apocalypse-]

The patch has fixed a lot of lag issues

Sweet i'll have to check it out later.

[scottscorpion]

it does seem a bit better,
although i cant seem to mute people in lobby anymore

[TekkenLord]

they forgot to fix the freezing issues, and i'm still getting disconnection issues.

[PsychoMantis]

they forgot to fix the freezing issues, and i'm still getting disconnection issues.

Not a problem for me, lag is really reduced more so and I got one disconnection error in-game and host migration kicked in and I was back to playing with no problems at all.

[XMW]

I had no problems on BO pre-patch, but after installing this patch I haven't completed 1 game. About 6 games have had "Connection Interupted" in the game. 2 have been failed host migration, 2 or 3 have been "Awaiting Connection 1..2..3" etc... or "Waiting for other players". How f'n stupid are they up there at Treyarch? This is the 4th patch I think and they still haven't fixed connection problems, it also searches for matches way longer then pre-patch.

[aLterBridge]

Matchmaking still awful for me on 360,... and now i'm getting framerate issues which weren't occurring before.

[bigdec]

Its made matchmaking poorer and before the patch I could connect to everyone fine, now half the time I can't connect to my mates parties. :\ Game still freezes though, well I just went on for 20 minutes and it froze and you can quickscope again, guessing there will be mixed thoughts on that one.

[mankind]

I still ****ing get stuck at players waiting when the map loads up, and it takes forever to find a match in domination.

[Hedrush]

More connection interupted disconnects than ever before. When I do eventually find a game, which takes forever now, 2 minutes in and guess what.....connection interupted!

Nice patch Treyarch, well done, idiots!!

[Evil^Virus]

Treyarch are the noobs off all developer teams, dare i say as bad as 3DO? This game is so flawed its not even funny anymore. Finisht the campain on veteran because online was broken afther 1.4 and guess wat. Not a single trophy for all my hard efforts. And yes i checked that i realy played on veteran true all the game. When i try to lower the dificulty, the game warns me that i'm playing on veteran...

[1solidsnake]

going to download it in a bit, i dont have alot of problems only with lag but, i blame my slow internet

[MjW]

Freezing as usual. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with this game.

[R3D D3V!L]

I can't why anyone would expect this to solve all the problems. MW2 got like 7 patches in 10 days or something stupid like that.
