Edit there is a fix but you need jailbroken ps3 CFW/HEN both work follow this video ua-cam.com/video/kBCWbDJrzoo/v-deo.html and download his XMB-Tool link in there description . if you on non jailbroken ps3 sorry you out of luck unless you know someone that you can trust that could do it for you. well this been issue from like June 2023 and it is now 2024 and well now Microsoft fully owns Activision I don't see this issue ever getting fixed as black ops 3 Xbox 360 is the only cod apart from call of duty classic that does not have backwards compatibility on modern Xbox console also the Xbox 360 bo3 version online is outright dead. the Xbox 360 store/online market place is shutting down on July 29, 2024 providing more evidence it wont get fixed. as for the PlayStation 3 version that wont get fixed even if Sony did care about the older consoles which they don't it up to Microsoft to fix as they own cod now. The ps3 bo3 zombies has still got players unlike the 360 version most likely due to the fact the online is free on ps3. the game is still able on the ps3 store even through half the produce does not work I not lawyer but Sony or Microsoft could possibly get sued for selling a broken produce on there store front.
I think it's also broken on all systems. It's definitely broken on PC (steam) but in a different way. The game will constantly check if you have installed DLC and tank the frame rate of the game. The game also lets hackers get your IP address by using just your Steam name, which allows people to Ddos you offline even if they aren't in your match and they never played with you. If you play online at all even in solo zombie lobbies, the hackers can go through a list of all people currently playing and get their IP address and knock them offline. There was an issue that allowed people to install viruses onto your PC if you were playing online on Bo3, but Activision fixed that. They never fixed all the other issues though, and the game and all DLC is still available for sale for the same price it was at release 8 years ago.
@@firstnamelastname-oy7es yep i know about that myself that why not played the stream venison in 2 years. there way to somewhat fix the game fps problems you need download the T7 patch. think with that patch you can get bo3 to change you username on the game so cant get boot of the game assuming the hackers don't know you real stream ID still don't recommend you play with Randoms if you have that download only friends. still stupid have to set that up to be able to play the pc version. The BOIII client would fix this issue but scumbag Activision had to DMC take it down.
1:17 thanks for the shout-out. Having users of your caliber discussing this is truly encouraging. Maybe we should collaborate sometime? We could do a "whose PS3 console freezes first when playing Black Ops 3" tournament. Surely millions would tune-in.
no problem if it was not for your video I would believe it was some wrong with my end as recently just bought black ops 3 on Ps3 for the still alive series. I also would be down for a Collaborate some day.
Man I'm glad I just bought this game to find out it's broken 😢. I hope it get fixed on all consoles because I was excited to play it's mutiplayer.........
Dam that exactly what happen to me last year. if you really want play the multiplayer without a jailbroken console then you only got the ps4 or the Xbox one versions that actually works. The PC version does work but don't recommend you play it there.
I have a jailbroken PS3, I downloaded BO3 in an alternative way other than through PSN, I even downloaded a DLC, but I still have this problem, I can play zombies mode normally, But not multiplayer.
In your case you could download something that unlocks all in the multiplayer, through if that did work then you run into the problem if anyone actually playing the MP anymore as been a issue starting in June.
I can give you an account which has everything unlocked, so that you can play. I have a mod menu that can do this. I will give it for free, because I would like to see full lobby’s again. Just answer if you are interested.
It’s still being sold on Xbox as well as the PlayStation. This is unacceptable dude. PS3 Black Ops III is like the only way to play Black Ops III safely without risk of being hacked. Now you can’t even play it.
dam other reason why they need to be sued it breaking the law selling a broken produce that no longer works which still on there stores close to full launch price . if was not on the psn store or the Xbox store then they could possible get away with it but as still there they cant.
I can give you an account which has everything unlocked, so that you can play. I have a mod menu that can do this. I will give it for free, because I would like to see full lobby’s again. Just answer if you are interested.
Ngl it’s not worth fixing for Xbox 360, my account is old and I’ve played multiplayer years ago but now when I play today I can’t find a single game of multiplayer or zombies. I’ve tried checking if ppl were maybe playing on the weekends but nah man can’t find a single match to play.
Yeah the Xbox 360 version is dead sadly I tried it myself back in October 2023 and found no one. The playstation 3 still has players on zombies and mp. Free online my guess why ps3 has players as neither have backwards compatibility.
yeah it is strange i don't think hacker group would want to mess up the game that badly. more likely something to do with game services as last gen venison was not make by Treyarch and was make by beenox and Mercenary Technology. Mercenary Technology has done no work on anything related with call of duty games at all. as for Beenox black ops 3 ps3/xbox 360 was the 1st call of duty project they work on it so possible they could of mess up something to do with the code of the game for in the long term might probably also explains why dlc 1 was the only dlc.
They don't really care anymore sadly, the fact that Activision got a contract with Microsoft + the game is old asf playstation can really do nothing...
it not just PlayStation issue it also on Xbox to. true it old game but there still selling it on store front which Activision take a cut of. Activision realistically could be sued for that having broken produce which on PlayStation store does not say part of the game might not work. same apples to old call of duty games on pc with the RC explode which your computer can hacked just for them knowing your stream id. money could be stolen from your bank account and that not the fault of the victim cause no where in the store page does it say your could be hacked for playing that game. they 100% could be sued for that and Activision would loss if that every did happen cause even the best lawyers in the world are not wining that. if that ever did happen all the old call of duty game servers would get shutdown as they would not go out of there way to fix the old games.
would someone with lot of money care to sue Activision by losing like 50$ very unlikely but the commonly could with fund raiser but very unlikely again.

I am currently trying to fix this crash issue, but i've noticed that servers are ALSO down when i try to get online?

@@thegamerrules2 Yes, every other game works fine. BO3 servers is the only issue, for me and my friend both. We CANNOT fix crash issue, if we cannot GET the crash to happen
@@JIREX what platform are you getting this issue for. if not done this remove all ready remove all save files , game files and delete the game and redownload it. you wont loss any unlocks as safe to the cloud. i was getting issue with black ops 3 on the Xbox 360 where compatibility patch was stuck in download loop so could not connect to the online at all. so got the compatibility patch files from online and change the files using XBOX horizon so they would show up on the console it self using USB. ps3 version has no compatibility patch that needs to be download.
@@JIREX you did not happen to create you account after the ps name change update or ever change your username. cause lot of call of duty games have problems with that like OG mw2 and bo1 your level reset every time you go on the game, mw3 mp wont work at all. bo2 mp it crash when go on it unless you into offline match 1st then go online. I don't know if bo3 has issue like that on ps3 but as reuse asset from older cod games. if you never change username on PlayStation or create account after name changing update in April 2019 then i don't know then.
no that not issue as the game worked fine for 8 years. The game size is not problem as only around 16GB compared to games such as metal gear solid 4 at 29GB and god of war 3 36GB, GOW Ascension 35GB if was ram issue then why is the Xbox 360 version also broken which has double the ram of the ps3. what most likely what cause the issue to happen in June 2023 was Activision updated the old call of duty games to fix the match making problems on Xbox platforms which that update cause the Wil version to get shutdown and got the last gen verison of bo3 to become broken on ps3 and Xbox 360. as black ops 3 Xbox 360 does not have Backward compatibility with newer Xbox they wont care to fix it. i don't know why there was problems with match making on call of duty on Xbox 360 in the 1st place as the PlayStation 3 version never had problem with match making unless you change your username on ps3 or had new account then yeah mw3 (2011) is broken for those players.
so are you saying you don't have this problem but friends do. as in don't trust you have jailbroken console but need to go there accounts to unlock all to bypass the unlock Tokens. cant you hack there black ops 3 stats to unlock all from them without there being on there accounts cause in the other call of duty games on ps3 and xbox 360 you can change people stats just by knowing there username. i think that want you mean not sure TBH. i bought that up in the video if you have jailbreak console or friend that unlock all tokens for you should be able to bypass this issue i think.
