Or, so I thought. Cannot get my computer to recognize microphone or start up COD2. All I get are COD2_mp.exe stopped working errors. Can't seem to find its' localized config file. I've scrubbed the game twice & re-installed with the same results, so I ain't bothering to do that again. Runs WAW like a raped ape, but I wanna play COD2 @ night with all you gentlemen (?). Still running win7 pro, but I'm ready to jump to 10. Ideas? PainKiller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

What do you have? TheLastColdBeer and PainKiller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a USB one, the game has a real hard time picking that up so if you have a 3.5mm jack on it, use that. It wouldn't matter if you put it in the onboard sound or on the sound card it will still work regardless. You just need to tell the computer what it's going to use. As for the game crashing on start up, try updating the game to 1.3 (should be done automatically if done through Steam) and also make sure that your video drivers are up to date. It could also be crashing because the game cannot render the current settings. To sort this out you need to find your player config file. If you are using Steam this is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty 2\28\players If you are using the disc then it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 2\28\players If you have not yet been able to connect at all then you will not have a player profile to edit. If that's the case I can send you mine and tell you which bits you need to edit. You then need to look for the file config_mp.cfg and you are looking for these lines: seta com_hunkMegs "256" or something similar. Change that value to 512. That will allocate the game more memory to run some of the more demanding stuff the mod has and the maps that have a lot on them. seta r_rendererPreference "auto" set that to "dx7" instead of auto. It will force the game to render in DirectX 7 and not be such a dick when you are starting it up. Also make sure you are running the game in compatability mode for Windows XP SP3 and administrator.

I'm running realtek onboard audio system w/3.5 plugged in headset. From what the Radeon message board folks tell me, the Adrenaline drivers from 20.1.3.0 on really messed up compatibility with a lot of games, best off to step back to 19_whatever until AMD sorts things out. I always ran COD2 in compatibility mode as admin, & upgraded to 1.3patch as soon as it installed. If I get time I might post the boot screen & error messages I receive while trying to start the game. I think it's the Radeon drivers mucking things up. Off to work, cyas! Blackbart and PainKiller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Feel free to post some bits and pieces and we might be able to help. The most common issue with CoD2 is Direct X errors, but take it step by step, eliminating problems as they come. Message Loader and get him on TS if you can. I am not always around but I can be if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Can you show an image of your /main folder please? looks like you've got missing files. Which is odd. I need to be able to see the sizes of the folders in the /main directory too.

I am trying to work out why it's trying to look in your system32 folder when you boot the game though Have you tried booting single player? Try that, it might need to make your config file first.

Asks me to run as admin, asks me for permission to make changes to my computer, then drifts off into nothing. No explanations. Seriously, I'm ready to throw Win10 onto this box and re-do everything. No point in flogging a dead horse. RobMc and PainKiller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
