Black Ops 3 down: Call of Duty fans hit by PS4, Xbox One and PC server issues

The peak of the issues started during the game's launch earlier today, with some PC gamers unable to play the game due to frame rate problems.

Treyarch have since released guidance on the issue, telling fans: "There have been reports of certain i5 CPUs having performance issues causing very low frame rates - We are still working on the final solution for this issue, but we have had reports that changing WorkerThreads = 4 to WorkerThreads = 2 in your config.ini file can help."

Other console gamers have seen themselves unable to play online, with Activision advising fans to restart their PS4 or Xbox One to download the latest game update.

Fans have also highlighted issues downloading the Nuk3town and The Giant DLC maps on Xbox One, something Microsoft say they have been investigating.

A message on the Xbox support site explains: "We understand some of you who purchased the Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Deluxe Edition are being prompted to repurchase a Season Pass for the game and can't access the Nuk3town and The Giant bonus maps,

"We want to assure you we're working to fix this as quickly as possible."

Xbox One and PS4 players weren't the only fans hit by Black Ops issues today, with Xbox 360 and PS3 owners also complaining of server issues.

Some Call of Duty fans have struggled to play the game online
One fan wrote: "Purchased the game last night for Xbox 360 at midnight, wasn't able to get online till 1am then after an hour I was no longer able to get multiplayer online."

While another wrote: "I bought Call of Duty for PS3 this morning for my daughter. She has been waiting for months for this day to come. We get home and she can't play game. What is going on and how long until it's fixed? Very upset parent."

A message from the Activision support team confirmed that they were looking into issues on the last-gen consoles.

"Xbox 360 & PS3 - Having problems finding a match on BO3? The teams are aware & are investigating now. We appreciate your patience," the support message reads
