Went to get in tonight and map started to load then screen went black indefinately. Had this happen once before on different PC (work laptop on road) on the COD2, DM server, but then learned if X-fire was running, it worked correctly = without X-fire it would not. Thinking the same here on my home PC which I've played for years, but no luck with or without X-fire?? Updated NVidia drivers, played with numerous settings in game and no luck. I know some changes were made recently to CTF server, so wondering if anyone else has issues now (but I see many regulars are in tonight). Bummer, since CTF is my favorite game Anyone got any ideas or had this issue? Seems like a video problem, since game never errors out - just a constant black screen and no sound, nothing. BTW, I'm running Window 7 on an NVidia 8600 GT, Pentium D. 2Gig RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Good to see it wasn't just me, proving something changed. No new installs or anything at my end, so something is different. I'll be looking more at it today and let you know if I stumble on it. Man, it was "killing me" to not be able to get in with the CTF server last night, as we finally had a few in there. But did have fun in another server - the XI W@W, DM. Hadn't been there in a while, so good to talk to the regulars there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Map changes and begins to load, and then black screen. Only way out of it is CTRL-ALT-DEL to load task manager (Windows 7) and then the screen unlocks and I can shut down COD4 and restart it. Wierd.

Don't know if this is the problem or not, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Another odd thing is that I was in the new map you were showing us a few nights ago Phrog. I forget the name, but the western town looking map. Was in with Pete, Gomer, yourself and a couple others. Jumped from tower and building and teleported into buildings. But I recall the map after that one, Komplex was acting weird after that. Gomer and I were waiting for others and map started re-starting in a couple minutes time. ???? Anyway, also noticed in the Stats - check the leaderboard and you can see who is having issues. All the bottom names show zero minutes and zero score, but show map/rounds loaded?? Oddly enough, my name shows up twice though I've only used this one PC. Hmmmm. Thankfully, I am able to get in COD2, DM and W@W, DM - my other two favorite servers. Thanks for all the work looking into this, guys!! XI rules!!

It happened right after I played DM Area 51 and the system auto downloaded a new iwd file to my PC. When I went to play CTF a whille later, I got the black screen and couldn't play. I then went in and deleted the last iwd file from my PC and was able to get back into CTF. As I recall it was xit.iwd but my system has since re-downloaded that file and I can play all servers with no problems. I just figured it was a temporary glitch. For those of you still having the problem try deleting that iwd file and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
