Call of Duty: Black Ops III Beta is Now Live!
Hello everyone and welcome back!
We want to thank you for joining us for the Black Ops 3 Beta and we are really excited to hear your feedback.
Final optimizations and final Advanced Graphics features are not included in the PC Beta; however, you can expect that these will be in the final game. We typically spend the last couple of months before launch finalizing graphics features and optimizations on PC. Also, the final optimized drivers from our hardware partners will also come later.
Here are some known issues and tips to help you enjoy the Beta:
There are some issues that occur when using a gamepad while also using keyboard and mouse. Once in match we recommend using one control input device.
During a match, changing your texture settings or shadow map quality can result in the game locking up. It is best to only make changes to these settings while not in a match to avoid these issues.
There are some known issues with 4k resolution, we recommend playing in Fullscreen mode when playing on 4k monitors.
Certain Sound Blaster cards set at 44000Hz or higher sample rating can cause the game to not run. Please lower this setting and try to run the game again if you experience issues.
The Steam Overlay does not work if you are running Fraps
Scene Resolution Ratio is a great option for increasing the game's performance. If the game isn't running smooth, using this and lowering Max FPS can really help
Mouse Filtering and Mouse Sensitivity can really help the mouse feel great. For high DPI mice, we recommend turning the DPI up outside of the game and using the in game Mouse Sensitivity and Mouse Filtering to get you mouse movement exactly how you like it
We will keep you updated as the Beta continues and thanks again for playing!
