cant get cod to play

[Janey]

I downloaded cod from steam, but when I open it, it just quits. can anyone help me with this? I heard that I'm downloading version 1.8 but need 1.7. It's a new pc and should work.

You need more detail Janey, i.e. did you not load 1.8?, what did you do and exactly what do you mean by 'quit', any messages?

this is what happens

was that onjline or off line mode 

looking for latest video driver,

try default settings  once in game  change to your liking 

oh  have tried  properties of game and verify files  before  starting game  online mode

 Yes I check the integrity of the file. And as you can see I can’t even get to the splash screen to change the default settings. It’s simply won’t load. I’ve downloaded it from steam twice and have not added punk Buster, but it comes with a punk buster folder

forgot you need  working activision account for game  also check your firewall settings have game allowed

does game play  solo   only crashes when select multiplayer

I had this problem too but it was because i got a new headset and it changed my sound settings or something... Fixed it by enabeling stereo mix.

that is correct

[KaptCrunch]

question  no updates was current version downloaded

if not up to date version  when doing updates need to select run as admin on the exe file by right click mouse

[YACCster]

It's likely the audio setup, your audio in and out setup ok?

**Update** She's in game last hurdle was the audio.

In order to make it work...     Take a old  audio port plug, and cut it so it;s just the plug portion.

insert it into the mic jack.  reboot your pc, then run the game.

Also,  I believe that the 1.8 vers is the same as the 1.7, just rebranded.  I might be mistaken on that.

I do recall however, there used to be an issue running COD on windows 8, windows 8.1 and earlier versions of windows 10.

That for some reason wouldn't run unless there was something in the Mic port.

Best advice I can offer..  hope it helps...

XTeKK , I do believe that all of the XI COD4 servers are 1.7 as our mods (FT and such) won't work with the 1.8 version,  Also 1.8 is just a mod, unsupported by Activision, and not an official patch.  Janey there is a thread that tells how to get it back to ver 1.7, not just sure where it is, but you need to drop back to 1.7.  I would try getting the 1.7 in first before doing anything else.

Here's what Dadda(RIP) posted about steam and getting back to 1.7

Steam 1.8 back to 1.7

Well I was way off Track with my advice..  I was thinking of a different issue.
