Have you tried Infinity7's Optimizations Guide above? He based it on a very similar spec'd system and it's running very nicely for him and others.

Nothing announced yet, but I did put the time we think it officially ends in the group's Events.

Also, we can tweet #ExtendTheBeta to @Treyarch

Helped a friend fix the video lag on his menus... Try each of the following: 1) disable or lower Anti-aliasing, 2) lower the Scene Resolution Ratio, and 3) Max FPS to 90 or 60

Disable the extra 3D effects in the Advanced Video Menu. ;)

Stuttering sound is common in the slowed down kill cams, but you're seeing it in-game too?

Although, I'm unlikely to compete myself... I strongly support this and can be available to help any time. I'm too inexperienced to suggest any bans / protects yet.

While I am not a very skilled player ( 0.6 K/D ), I do recognize how critical skill gap is to Call of Duty. Fortunately, I'll help in other ways.

Beyond organizing these open TM8 groups, I've also researched cheating and other morale issues in depth. With 35 years of programming experience, I know precisely what can and cannot be "hacked" and hidden. And I have zero respect for anyone abusing fair play or otherwise destroying our morale here.

Black Ops 3 PC Crashes
If the game is crashing for you, there’s a few things you could try. Success isn’t guaranteed, but they’ve been known to help:
Do not change graphics settings during a match, only from the main menu. Restart the game after editing.
Play in fullscreen, not fullscreen windowed.
Disable antialiasing.
Set max framerate to 60.

Also, Infinity7 suggests turning Antialiasing to OFF, FXAA, or SMAA x1. The default SMAA x2 can be too much as its coded right now. These settings can be set even before starting the game by editing the config.ini mentioned in his guide above.

Welcome Gloob... looks like you have Advanced Warfare DLC and want to register here. Feel free to edit your entry above for Black Ops III which is a another TM8 group altogether.

To edit anytime, hover your mouse over the upper right corner of your post and click the pencil. ;)

There's a few good discussions buried away in the official Community Hubs...

Great work there, Infinity7!

BTW there are separate Hubs for Beta vs. the actual game. Not to be confused.
