Treyarch doet vrij rustig aan wat betreft het uitbrengen van nieuwe patches voor hun jongste telg. Sinds gisterenavond is er weer één beschikbaar en het betreft hier patch 1.04. Ditmaal is het wel een forse patch, want deze weegt ongeveer 2.9GB.
Activision heeft inmiddels de changelog vrijgegeven en hieronder alle belangrijke aanpassingen en verbeteringen die patch 1.04 brengt. De lijst is echter aanzienlijk langer dan dat, mede door een hoop tweaks aan de Specialists. Specifieke details kan je hier vinden.
Multiplayer
General
- Quick Join option added to the Multiplayer Main Menu. This allows Players to party-up with any eligible Players on their Friends List who are currently playing Black Ops III.
- Multiplayer Music option in the Audio menu now allows players to preview music samples and change the music heard when playing Multiplayer.
- Custom Games functionality has been expanded. Support has been added for official Custom Game Variants as well as saving Custom Games.
- Fixed an error that would occasionally occur when returning to the Multiplayer Lobby after completing a match or entering/exiting the Arena Lobby.

- Players no longer get points for killing teammates with the Satellite Drone in Uplink, when Friendly-Fire is enabled in Custom Games.
- Players will no longer spawn at the same point in Free-For-All if there are more than 8 players in a Custom Match.
- Fixed an issue where the tinted full screen effect would remain after the player had exited the Hardened Sentry.

Zombies
Dr. Monty’s Factory
- Be sure to check out Dr. Monty’s Factory in the Zombies game mode lobby. You can use your vials of Liquid Divinium earned in Zombies mode to create GobbleGums by placing vials in the vats. GobbleGums are one-time use perks for Zombies mode and come in multiple rarities which have varying effects on your Zombies match. Use one vial to create one GobbleGum or experiment with two or three vials at a time for more GobbleGums and better odds at getting a Rare Mega GobbleGum, an Ultra-Rare Mega GobbleGum or a Special Sphere!
