Call of Duty: Black Ops

- Dx11 Fix via DgVoodoo -




Here's a fix I doubt anyone was waiting for, but was on my bucket list for quite a long time, which made it a perfect candidate to test DgVoodoo's Dx9 to Dx11 functionality. Fortunately, it worked like a treat, it somehow even fixed the broken shadows all on it's own! I must say, this still actually looks very nice for a 7 year old game (which is surprising since games that go for a more realistic look usually don't hold up all that well), although performance wasn't quite as buttery smooth as I thought it might be (playing at 1440P with everything maxed, mind you) which I'm not certain if that was due to additional overheard from DgVoodoo + 3DMigoto, or if the fact the visuals were as good as they are, and still somewhat demanding. Anyways, the campaign in this game sure is a mind-f*** that is well worth experiencing.

3D Fix Summary


Game Engine: IW 3.0

Fixed Issues:
-Lighting & shadows
-Skyboxes

User Interface Features:
-Cyclable HUD depth
-Automatic convergence presets for: ADS

Not Fixed/Remaining Issues:
-There was a single mission while in a helicopter where sun reflections on the water are broken. Everywhere else they were fine. Looked at the shader and decided it was not worth my time for such a short mission to spend my time trying to fix it.



Instructions


1. Load the game and set your resolution to your preference and refresh rate to 119Hz.

 2. Download fix: CoDBo Fix with DgVoodoo files included  or  CoDBo fix files standalone

3. Extract fix contents to ..\Call of Duty Black Ops  folder where BlackOps.exe exists

4. (Potentially optional) If you downloaded the standalone fix (or the fix with the included DgVoodoo files doesn't work) then you will also need to download DgVoodoo files. Follow the exact steps and settings as used in masterotaku's FFIX fix

4. The following keybindings have been set up:

    Key                  Effect        
       \            Disable's HUD
       ]            Adjust HUD depth

    I found that the shadows are broken at 2160p, so stick with 1440p.

    Hi, first, thanks a lot for the fix. You guys rock and keep the community alive. I’m having difficulty with multiplayer. Is the fix supposed to work with multiplayer? When I apply the fix, the 3d green kicks in but the menu and texts are all blurred and pixelated, unreadable. I followed all instructions. My system, Win 10, 1809, 2080ti, last official driver. Thing is, this game used to work almost 3d vision ready in dx9 when launched, but it was rated excellent. Now dx9 is all broken. Not sure when this happened, whether is Windows 10 issue or later drivers broke the game.
