Call Of Duty 2 On PC

[Evil-Monkey]

I have re installed COD2 on my pc . of course its win 10. I have tried to change resolutions but game crashes. I then looked it and found that you can change it in the registry. so I did that and it wont let me save it  says I don't have the permissions. So I then opened it as admin and it still wont .

 

Please help I don't want to miss the event .

Monkey, how did you install? I found later that my old original CDs would not install. Windows 10 didn't like the DirectX drivers required and installed with the games. I ended up buying it for $20.00 from Steam and works well with whatever newer drivers it uses. Good luck and hope to see you this weekend.

The only way I have gotten cod 2 to work on my pc is by going into the game directory and setting both the cod2sp and cod2mp exe file properties for compatibility mode for XP SP3. After I did this the game worked with no issues on my end. Of course with you having different PC specs than what I have it is up for grabs but I think that is your best shot in getting this working.

There's another way to fix this as well, if you go into the main CoD2 Directory and then: main>players>yourname>config_mp.cfg.

Open it up in a text editing software such as notepad++ or something and find this: seta r_mode "?x?" (? being your current resolution) and then change it to the maximum your monitor allows such as mine is 1920x1080.

It is also down to what renderer the game uses. Find: seta r_rendererPreference "none" and change it to: seta r_rendererPreference "dx7"

This will force the game to run in dx7 which is the most stable way to run the game.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY CONNECTED TO THE SERVER THE PATH FOR THE CONFIG WILL BE: main CoD2 directory>28>players>yourname>config_mp.cfg
This is because every mod will make its own config file, the 'main' is different to 'xitdm' which is different to '28'. You just need to make the same changes as above. I had the same issues until I did it like that.

I also still have an issue with sound. If my headset is not plugged in when the game starts up, it stops and closes with no error. Plug in he headset again, then fine. But that's all after I got it working. Down side is I must play with the head set - glad it's preferred method!

@Evil-Monkey You need Notepad++ just search in google then install that it will fix the issue with it not being able to be edited. If that does not work then you will need to right click the config and click properties and the security tab to give you permission of the file.

Install with  AS Admin by right click  on exe and select as admin

Steam game, go in game files and edit config with your current video driver
