Black Ops 3 Updates & Hotfixes
Since this update we’ve seen a number of small hotfixes deliver important changes to your Xbox One, PS4 and PC. These are listed below, and will factor into the patch notes.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 72.4.10.*.0 hotfix is out now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. It fixes problems with Match Cryptokey rewards and Contracts Cryptokey rewards as well as issues in DOA and Zetsubou No Shima. It also fixes a leaderboard issue that only showed people in your party, not in the match.
Treyarch rolled out the 65.19.25.7.0 hotfix just a day before the Eclipse DLC 2 release on Xbox One and PC. This includes fixes for User Interface bugs in Challenges and Der Eisendrache gameplay bugs.
In the 65.18.23.7.0 hotfix Treyarch disables Double XP and removes an Awakening promo.
In the Black Ops 365.14.18.7.0 hotfix there are fixes for issues and it turns on Groups on PS4 after a collection of issues with PS4 Black Ops 3 groups. You choose what the group is, and you can join multiple groups as well as control the privacy of each group
In the 62.11.19.7.0 hotfix we see changes to the Zetsubou No Shima Zombies DLC including, “the awesome white box that appeared over your head when you had the Castle tram token.” Check out more hotfix changes.
On April 20th the 62.2.7.7.0 hotfix addressed DLC 2 issues, and only comes to users who already have the 1.09 update. The fixes include, improvements on map collision from DLC 1 to DLC 2. Treyarch is looking at a code issue to fix glitches that users found.
https://twitter.com/DavidVonderhaar/status/722854019127902211
On April 14th the 59.29.38.7.0 arrived with routine housekeeping.
On April 12th the 59.24.34.7.0 hotfix adds a new Black Market bribe that guarantees a Taunt or Gesture. This costs 300 Call of Duty Points or 60 Cryptokeys and the offer expires on April 14th at 10 AM Pacific, 1PM Eastern. This is the latest option like this, which could be leading the way to a Weapons DLC bribe. The initial message only mentioned Call of Duty Points as the way to buy this bribe. We are still waiting for a more detailed list of changes.
What you need to know about the Black Market bribe in the new April Black Ops 3 hotfix.
On April 8th the 59.21.30.7.0 added turned on the Double Cryptokey and Double Liquid Divinium weekend, fixed Shadowclaw audio issues and included behind the scenes script fixes for streaks, challenges and taunts
On April 6th the 59.20.26.7.0 hotfix added behind the scenes fixes, fixes for Zombies exploits and fixed an issue with Black Ops 3 prestige calling cards.
On April 1st the 59.14.24.7.0 hotfix arrived to turn on the Double Double XP weekend in Black Ops 3, open up free Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC to PS4 owners and included tuning changes to the Tag & Bag challenge.
On March 29th the 59.9.17.7.0 fixed bugs, exploits and Zombies Prestige issues. This fixes a Shawdowclaw bug, but does not change the weapon states. The hotfix also fixes un-named exploits and contains a fix for the ZM Master Prestige Calling Card not unlocking according to the short patch notes
On March 28th the 59.8.13.7.0 hotfix removes the Nuk3town playlist and puts Chaos Moshpit back in.
On March 25th Treyarch made changes to the Black Ops 3 in game store, but did not offer detailed changes. It was around this time that we saw a leak mention the Black Market Arms Dealer. If true, there may be a way to spend 150 Cryptokeys and get a guaranteed new Black OPs 3 weapon or spend 1,000 Call of Duty points.
On March 24th Treyarch released a new March Black Ops 3 hotfix 59.5.13.7.0. This update includes, “UX fixes/improvements & new griefing protections in MP; exploit fixes in ZM.”
On March 22nd we learned that there are new Black Ops 3 guns, melee weapons, taunts and specialist gear in this March Black Ops 3 patch.
Some users are seeing a number of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 problems after the earlier hotfixes and updates. If you experience issues, check out how to fix Black Ops 3 problems and make sure you update to the latest hotfix.
Citadel Black Ops 3 DLC 3 Map | |||||
 | |||||
Dive into Citadel, one of two brand new Black Ops 3 maps in DLC 4. This map sits on the former home of a powerful sorcerer and focuses on close quarters combat that will test your reflexes and your tactics. This is a mid-size map that will force you to fight up close, but there is still a drawbridge and a moat that allows for wall running and jumping that are key to Black Ops 3. | |||||

Why would you nerf the fire rate of the mr6??? Just take out the mods that allow the game to be messed with. You just killed all the trigger fingers out there.
cameron
03/21/2016 at 11:55 am
Because people have controllers that tap for them so it looks like they have a trigger finger but they don’t and anyone can get them online for like 100 bucks
DarkThrasher28
06/15/2016 at 12:18 am
To be honest, the MR6 what garbage to begin with. You’d be better off using the points for an extra attachement and fast mags or extended clip imo.

It’s like they are purposely trying to make the game worse when they nerf guns. If they nerf the Kuda next, I’ll be done with the game for good.

How bout fix the hives, people run right through them alot of times. Also ban players that are clearly cheating! Look on your own lobby leader boards treyarch, I think 15,000 points per minute is a little suspect if u ask me… smh
Jack Pepal
03/22/2016 at 5:04 am

How about fix the communication problems for Xbox one!!!!!!!! Pathetic game, can barely ever communicate with your team. How about do something about the modded controllers and team killers. I bet alot of these issues are because we are playing on 360 servers!!! And you actually don’t care about the cheating deadbeats because it’s making profits. Make it to where if someone has a modded (tournament) controller then they can only play with others with the same kind. It’s very sad to see this stuff being allowed. If you can’t play with the normal standard controller, then don’t play. But to cheat with the other controllers is crap. It’s not fair to the honest players using a standard controller. And for the love of God ad clan wars or something for clans other than the tag option. This game is turning into black ops 2 all over again. With the lag compensation and cheating and the plain and simple truth of them doing nothing about it. Extremely disappointed at what Fps are turning into with the exception of battlefield. All in all these updates are so dumb, fix the actual problems first. This game will always be sub par until the real issues are addressed. Finally if you use a modded controller, you are admitting to everyone that you are a crap player with no skill so you have to cheat!!! Plain and simple, can’t wait for the day they ban them or make it to where they can only play with people/lobbies with only those kind of controllers!!! Bet your ass all the modders would be crying saying that’s not fair!!! Well explain then how it’s fair to play against the true non cheating players. You can’t because it’s not!!
Jack Pepal
03/22/2016 at 5:06 am
They don’t know the difference cause the controllers are just controllers, there is no way of them knowing the difference
bryann

Trollchaser
03/21/2016 at 3:20 pm
Dude they can’t possibly know if a modded controller is being used that’s why they nerf fire rates and reload speeds
Angel
03/21/2016 at 3:22 pm
How about you nerf the VMP that gun has almost perfect stats! Great rate of fire, great range, great accuracy and great damage i mean come on that gun is a freaking laser! It only has pros no cons at all!
MexicanPapi
04/19/2016 at 5:53 am
no…. the vmp is not an all round great gun , the recoil is bad at long ranges
DarkThrasher28
06/15/2016 at 12:20 am
Yeah, vmp users will not engage you at long ranges. There is typically a reason for that…..

I hope they remake Dome, Carrier, express, slums or standoff.

Dome would be awesome waw days omg
Jakob

Jack Pepal
03/22/2016 at 5:10 am
I think dome was a custom map for waw unless ur talking about the mw3 map which they can’t make
Javier
03/21/2016 at 3:54 pm
They should add more weapons and characters
Ricky
03/21/2016 at 4:02 pm
I think they should come out with 4 new zombie maps instead bought this game just for the zombies… Whats up Treyarch?

03/21/2016 at 5:45 pm

Martel Nixon
03/21/2016 at 6:42 pm
Really I don’t mind hackers modders stuff like that my kill death ratio is a 1.20 I think they just make you play harder is bad to do it but it shows you they don’t know how to play the game
MexicanPapi
04/19/2016 at 5:55 am

For some reason I cannot get version 1.08 to download. It’s stuck on preparing to download. But my other games that need to download will normally download. It’s not a internet problem, so how do I fix this? I’ve already tried deleting and reinstall the game but no luck.
Poppin
03/22/2016 at 5:34 am
1.start the game
2.go online
3.close the game
4.go to messages,click on downloads,done

When are yall going to fix the major gameplay issues of bullets following you around a corner and killing you and removing quick scoping (not logical at all) and not adhering to the children who complain about it because they are too young to play the game.

I believe if enough people stopped buying this garbage, then the COD empire would be forced to put together a solid game for once in years! They definitely don’t make em like they used to. And stop stealing ideas from other games, that just shows how lazy you’ve become. Dont bite the hand that feeds!!! Get it together or my dollar stops here.

Played the other day against a guy with the pipe wrench. At the end he was about 1.0 but he had like 22 kills. It was the most hilarious thing in the world and he had the final 3 kills in the game. Truly awesome. Even though I can’t help hating the guy as he crushes my skull with a frickin wrench, I also can’t help laughing. Good one Treyarch.

Need to fix and concentrate on the piss poor connection issues in PS4 BO3. Lobby parties cannot join with or without invite, lobby parties breakup onto seperate teams at game start, during game play, game kicks entire team out with blue screen, hardcore 1 shot hit markers should kill not tickle him so he can shoot you when you got First hit. Game is garbage anf Treyarch sucks at focusing onmajor issues, only fixes nebulous stupid shit. Fix the actual game play as this game is not fun and we are tired of closing app and restarting 10, 20 times a night!!

Ever since today’s “hotfix” 04/20/2016 Everyone I know has been having lag spikes. We normally run 17-33ms in a hardcore TDM game today we are all running 33ms-183ms and the game is freezing in gunfights. That’s pitiful. In 1999 before ADSL on dial up from Tulsa to Dallas dedicated CS beta servers I could ping 130ms STABLE. Somethings not right. Now here I am a 2.30 KD in HC tdm and 2.05 in Core tdm and I’m getting beaten by guys that are .75 kd? come on… guess on to the next game since this is dev is bust. Who cares about camos and backflips, Gimme a map pack w/o more lag and issues.
