Not sure whats going on, but here is my issue.  I went to join the Black Bart server and upon clicking on it from the server browser, my computer screen goes black and just hangs.  Now any other sever on the web I can join, no issue.  Just the BlackBart server.  Strange.   I have tried reinstalling latest COD2 patch, deleted the XIDM config file and tried a different config files.  Newer drivers too.   I get no error messages what so ever.  Just a black screen.  I close the black screen using "task manager" and it even says COD2 is running.  Usually any issue will show up as "not responding" .    Like I mentioned earlier, its just the BlackBart server.  All others work great.  Weird.

Got it working.  I replaced the main cod2mp.exe file with another copy and now I can get into the Blackbart server.  Strange it didnt effect joining any other server.  But....  Stanger shit happens.

@MikeB  clear out your "main" folder you probably have to many map packs in there too...There has been a few of us including me that has had the black screen after this rotation I did...Clearing out the main fixed it for us

Glad you got it sorted

I had the same issue a few days ago, it finally told me which map was the offender. Got rid of it and good to go.

I run into an occasional "map error" too.  I just remove the file and the program downloads the correct version.  Just as you describe.  My issue was it never gave me any file errors  🙂  Just a black screen.  Anyway I back to normal.  Well scratch that.  Im never normal.

Yes oddly this time no "impure client" notice for me and others- just black screen so wiped the main and fixed it...I could go back to find the offended map but seemed isolated to only a few of us...Perhaps @TheLastColdBeer could post it since it told him and it is in his recycle bin

Sorry Loader, I empty my recycle bin frequently. I just started COD2 a couple times after the error, and it told me (eventually) which map was the problem. I got the black screen at first too.

I went back to the old COD2 exe file and fired it up.  Waited 10 minutes and the map error finally came up with the map name.  I deleted the map and now the "main"  .exe works.   I had two COD2 directories on different hard drives.  One directory had the .exe that was causing issues, the other was a backup directory from a previous PC build.  But any way, its all good now.
