I live within 20 miles of 9 million people 400 miles of 58 million people and on launch week you cant fill a lobby with people relatively local to me.

PM me your gamertag and platform - you shouldn't have to block anything. Blocking IPs based on their apparent geoip location is not a great idea.

On a related note:

  • Geoip is not infallible.
  • Don't block servers, down that road madness lies.

So you're saying that this problem many people are having hasn't been acknowledged other than this instance? Because there is something definitely wrong with either the servers or matchmaking is putting players from certain regions into a matchmaking pool with people they shouldn't be playing with. I live West coast NA and haven't gotten one server under 40 ping. Every game is 60-90 ping.

PM me your gamertag, thanks.

Location is important for obvious reasons, but I'm intrigued that you want details on service providers. Are there concerns about throttling or something similar? Obviously there's quite a hubbub about that in the States right now so it made me curious.

Getting packets from A to B across the wilds of the internet in a timely manner can be an interesting problem. Peering issues more than throttling would be what I'd be looking for.

The NA servers are definitely up, and have plenty of people on them :) Not denying you're encountering a problem of some sort. I dropped you a PM - can you send me your gamertag and platform(PC?) so I can dig into your telemetry a bit. Thanks!

We greatly appreciate videos that can help us identify bugs or issues of any kind, and in particular hit detection issues. These are a top priority for us to isolate and fix, and as you can imagine they are tough to track down given everyone's different network conditions. And of course, there is also the slight chance of misconception of what happened, which can usually be explained if we slow things down enough. But the video will always prove useful, as they can and have helped us identify and fix bugs.

We can't go through every one of these from every Player, but you asked for an explanation, and a ton of other Players upvoted and commented. That tells us this is an important issue for you all, so an explanation you shall have!

In this case, we had to cap the embedded video and slow it to a crawl to discover what happened. 12 Shots were fired, which anyone watching can easily see in the ammo counter. We scrubbed this frame by frame from beginning to end, thinkin...

We want to give players more details than just “we’ve improved stability”. Here's what's going on, here's what we're looking at.

  • Fixed a crash occurring during initial boot of the game

Still a few bugs hidden in the massive network of systems. Thanks for calling this out, it is indeed a valid bug. We will get it in the pipeline to fix soon!

Blackout

Fixed an issue where Trauma Kits would not heal its users under certain conditions.

Known Issues (PC)

We are aware that some users are encountering crashes in various locations. We are currently closely monitoring the stability since the launch and are planning multiple fixes for our incoming patch next week.

Here are some workarounds:

If you are experiencing freezes during the intro movie, disabling the GeForce Experience in-game overlay might fix the issue. Nvidia has also released a BETA driver to fix the issue, we encourage you to try it out: https://w...

Here’s what we've just added to the game today:

We launched Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with the all-new Blackout mode at 120fps for PC players (Multiplayer and Zombies modes were both uncapped). Now we’re increasing the cap to 160fps, and in the next few days, will enable uncapped framerates.

We can also announce that the Zombies Easter Eggs are now enabled.

Plus, there are several other fixes to improve the PC experience:

  • Fixed an issue causing the Social and Settings menus to be inaccessible when spectating in Blackout.
  • Fixed an issue that caused UI elements to persist on screen when opening the Player menu at the same time as a match starting.
  • Fixed an issue causing a UI error to appear when right-clicking characters in the player account's Personalization menu.

This is all part of the on-going updates and improvements that we will work on to ensure the best PC experience possible.

Also a T1D myself. There are several of us on the Dev team. Thankfully our kitchens are stocked with healthy snacks!

You've gone through your Battle.net pre-load and so you're sitting, waiting.

So tell me, what are your plans for pre BO4 launch?

We are so close, and we can't wait to get the game into your hands.

Tell us what you think. We're watching, listening all the time so join the conversation.

Obviously, constructive commentary helps and we can respond to that.

We all want this to be the best PC Call of Duty possible.

No announcement on the servers right now, but our very own Jon Moses of Treyarch is in South Korea as we speak!

I have no trouble standing while playing, but I definitely am not as good at playing while standing.

One more thing - if you're experiencing issues with lag, please include your ISP and general location. Have fun everyone!

Yes, we’ve iterated past this and have an awesome new holo reticle in the dev environment. Thinner, more precise, and the ring is larger so it doesn’t obscure enemies but instead surrounds and frames them nicely. Keep an eye out in any future builds to get a sneak peak.
