I’m having issues with @CallofDuty #BlackOpsColdWar. Playing on @Xbox #OneX and there is a significant amount of video lag. All cut scenes are lagging all the way through. Here is just a example. pic.twitter.com/gySXnCwFQW

As mentioned previously, many are having problems with the cutscenes in the game, and this is starting to infuriate players. However,this issue could be fixed by tweaking some graphical settings in the game. They first need to determine if their PC has the specifications required to run the game smoothly enough.

If the player has higher than required specifications on their PC, they then need to navigate to the general settings and disable Sync Every Frame (V-sync). On the flip side, if the player has lower than required specifications on their PC, they need to reduce the graphical settings, like shadow and texture, by turning them to low or medium. After that, enable Sync Every Frame (V-sync) to get the best possible frame rates for the cutscenes.

After making these changes, the cutscenes should run smoothly in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
