Call of Duty: Black Ops Patch Tweaks CPU Performance
As with the previous performance patch, there's no clear consensus on how much this actually remedies the PC version's notorious performance woes, as our own Xav experienced. If you played Cod Blops on PC over the weekend, how did you find it?
Here's the short but sweet changelog for Saturday's patch:
- CPU performance improvements
- Zombie matchmaking improvements
- Fix for locked ADS after pressing shift-TAB to bring up Steam overlay
- Fix for ADS while holding shift as a sniper

There's actually more frequent hitching of a different sort for me, usually felt as the mouse input getting very non-distinct and usually ending up in my facing a different way to the way I was intending, running with FRAPS showing the FPS shows that it drops from 100FPS+ to what measures as 40FPS when this happens, but it's almost like it's displaying 40 and throwing away every other frame it intended to display making it very... shuddery?

For a moment there you put me in doubt. I fired up MW2 and checked with Fraps.
