Why can't I connect to SLUMS map?

[76561198074004544]

I can't connect to this map, it keeps showing,"You have been disconnected from call of duty black ops 2 server....". Please help. Same problem is with AFTERATH map, YEMEN map.

I have the same problem with Slums and also Plaza. It's my graphics card which is integrated into my laptop motherboard. Intel HD3000. Real crappy card. I'm just glad it loads all the other maps.

Yup, as TriGGaMoRTiS said, usually a problem with the gpu. Intel integrated and AMD cards both had issues at launch, but that's long since been ironed out on the AMD side.

Unfortunatley, the integrated gpu's still suffer the issue, and there really isn't much you can do about it except close EVERYTHING down that isn't needed to keep Windows running or the game.

Edit: a SSD helps a bit, but that's not money I would throw at it to correct the issue.

Yup. I noticed that if I shut down some processes from Windows, the maps will load sometimes. I disabled SuperFetch and Cortana. They were taking up a lot of RAM.

Strangely those maps load when I play a custom game.

That's because custom games have no timeout limit, unlike the multiplayer which does.

So is there any fix for this? (Except for upgrading my laptop!)

What graphics card do you have exactly?

[TheBiggestNoob]

This game has been randomly crashing for me on the slums map. This has been happening since the game released on different cpu's, different graphics cards, different motherboards, harddrives and different steam accounts. I gave up trying to fix this since it does not happen every time. This is the first time I have seen someone else having a problem with slums.

The only things you can do, without buying a new laptop obviously, are limited.

Like I said earlier in the thread, I would read some guides on Windows proccesses and figure out how to shut everything down so only the bare minimum system threads and the game would be running.

You could buy an ssd, and see some gains, but that's still a bit pricey for minimal return.(assuming your laptop can only fit 1 hdd/ssd, and having to purchase a larger size drive to compare with the old one.)

Slums, Aftermath, Plaza, and one other(can't remember) have always had issues with certain hardware combinations. The large majority had to do with integrated graphics and AMD cards, but the AMD issue was eventually resolved. Still, there are people who still get disconnects from timeouts on systems that shouldn't, and it's not easily repeatable all the time.

I used a different combinations of Intel Core i7 2600K, 4790K, 3939K, 5960X, nVidia Geforce 670, 780, 980, 1080 (I dont know why I keep upgrading my PC, all I play is Black Ops 2). Intel and nVidia has it too and I still get a crash on Slums randomly at least once a day. I have just learned to live with it. I can just restart the game and when I join the same lobby with Slums there is no problem any more.

Yeah, I lucked out when I had a 3770k and 980ti sli, never had an issue with any maps. Now with a 7700k and a 1080ti, I randomly get a disconnect like that, but only on Plaza, and maybe once every 30-40 matches on the map. It's especially prone to happen if the map is voted for 2 rounds in a row.

I've run it on Q6600 GTS 450, i3-4160 GTX 750, and (My current) i5-6600k GTX 970, and some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop that I can't quite remeber the specs of, but I've never had it crash on any of these maps.

I think SLI causes my crashes on Slums. I upgraded to 1 1080ti and it has not crashed for a week.
