One of my Sons had a system and OS upgrade at Christmas time, since then he can't play Black Ops MP. He can play the single player but not the multiplayer.
Is Windows8 the issue here? He had Win7 before the upgrade.
I tried copying my BO folder to replace his folder (This usually works) and then we deleted the folder and downloaded it again, no joy +
Anyone know whats going on ????
Cos i sure don't.
btw. this issue only came to light when i convinced him to join a Shotty Friday 13 June..

On paper, I don't believe there should be any problems. Does he get errors? Not start at all? Launch, but crash?
Verified game files in Steam? Run the game in Win7 Compatibility mode? i don't recall reading of anyone else not getting Win8 and BO to play nicely.

If you dont see an error message when you try to start the program, open "Computer Management" go to "Event Viewer>Windows Logs>Application" In there you should see some sort of error. Save that log and upload it so we can take a look at it.
Without errors we cant try to fix the problem.
As Abram said, there should be an issue, since BO plays on W7, but MS has a weird way about themselves.
