I have cod4 on steam and tried to join. Initially it said wrong version 1.7 I downloaded the 1.7 version and tried that and can make that work. However, If I join the XI DM server, the mod downloads, and crashes my PC. If i try other servers in the internet, it works fine. It must be a problem with the mod or my config_mp file. Would someone look into this to help me be able to play COD4 DM again. Thanks, Gary Evans config_mp.cfg

Otherwise nothing works. Gary

If I join a standard game server, it runs, only when I join a modded server does it crash. Thanks, Gary

I believe that helped someone once before with a similar situation. In settings, you choose gaming, game mode, and then toggle "use game mode" off. Awards

When i launch xi_mw2_dm, it downloads the map, then crashes to the desktop as a minimized icon. I've deleted the mod, and let the game reload it. It loads the mod again, then the map, then still crashes. If I play a standard server with no mods, I can play v1.7... If I try a server with mods, it crashes. I've also emptied out my config_mp file deleting all entries except for my resolution. No luck there either. I've deleted the game, and re-installed it multiple times, no luck. I purchased the game via steam years ago and steam updated to v1.8. I found on your website the v1.7 exe file and can play v1.7, but something is still not right. I've tried compatibility, game mode off (never used that), and running as admin. If you know of a source to purchase a version 1.7 CD, I'd be willing to buy that and try it. Amazon has some but doesn't say it it's v1.7, and I'd be suspicious about a used s/n on their games. Thanks for trying to find answers for me EVERYONE!!!! Gary

YEsssssssssssssssssss !!!!!!!!!!! I found this article and tried it: on windows 10 this worked for me: right click on mp executable (also sp) properties compatibility tab select disable full screen optimization Not sure why, but it seems to work. I'll go in there now, and let you knife me in the back! Thanks Everyone Gary

Thanks Everyone Gary Full screen optimization allows the operating system to try and optimize performance for games and like most other Windows features it doesn't work well. This is one of the first settings I change after installing the game.
