Black Ops 4 Multiplayer Servers Downgraded To 20hz

4
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has received a new update version 1.03, however, it might have downgraded the server send rate to 20hz from the original 60hz according to a new report.

This discovery was made by Reddit user Smcro who share his findings in a long detailed post. While there is nothing official shared by Treyarch on this matter, the user stated that he found out the server send rate is downgraded to 20hz after the new update. It was originally 60hz during the Beta test and launch week of Black Ops 4. The patch that was deployed on October 19th appears to be the main culprit here.



Here is what he had to say in the conclusion of his post on the server send rate getting downgraded.

The server send rate has been lowered from 60hz to 20hz causing more inconsistency compared to the beta due to the fact that there is (on average) triple the amount of time between server updates. Also, it would seem that matchmaking sometimes chooses servers that are undesirable in terms of latency. It would be nice to have the ability to whitelist server locations which give the best experience to prevent this from happening.


It is a rather strange turn of events since the launch of Call of Duty Black Ops 4 is rather successful as well. Activision reported more than 500 million dollars in sell-through revenue for Black Ops 4 on day one and also confirmed that it had the highest concurrent player count out of all current generation Call of Duty games.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is available now of the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

I can't believe they did this without a work, test it at 60 and it goes lower to 20, the main reason I didn't know it happened or could feel it is because I'd didn't play the beta. Hopefully they get it back to 60 in the near future.

I doubt I'll even notice a difference.

Here's Treyarch's response to the network situation:

We've also noticed a lot of discussion around network performance over the past couple of days and wanted to take a moment to address this directly. We're constantly working to optimize the game, and particularly network performance, to ensure the highest quality online experience for our players. For a game launch with as massive a population as ours hitting so many global servers at once, we configure our infrastructure to ensure game stability as the highest priority over all other factors.

Now that we're past the initial launch of the game, we are focusing on fine-tuning network performance around the globe, using the real-world data that we have collected. Over the course of the next two weeks, we will roll out several updates to our network setup that will continue to improve upon the experience of our players since launch. As we have always said, launch is just the beginning, and we're committed to making Black Ops 4 the best-supported game we've ever delivered. This is a journey that will involve constant adjustments, improvements, and additions. We appreciate your continued support and patience - thank you!

Hopefully it'll go back soon. I'm sure they had a justified reason. I don't see a big difference in the game tbh.

DecyPosted:

LokePosted:

the tick rate for cods has always been 12tick so hertz is refreshing which is a bigger factor with the tick rate so if its true theres a good reason(shitty ping players complained that they are laggy and cant hit stuff because their pings are too high) but yeah tickrate and hertz(refresh) are two different things which most people dont know
