Installed the game from steam today, tried to join the server and got the same error as Loco;  Server refused to send 'DM-CBP1-Arkanos'

Ok, after installing all 3 community map packs I can get into the server. I think the Arkanos map was in the 1st map pack. This is my first time playing this and it's allot of fun. Really enjoy the server, thanks.

Razer Kraken Pro V2  awesome sound but need a good sound card to push the huge drivers.

Had a good time, heard there was allot of cold beer dropped during the event though

There is actually a feature in Creatives new sound card called "scout radar" which allows you to see your enemies location on a radar on your smart phone. When they make a sound it shows their location on the radar on your phone; https://us.creative.com/p/sound-cards/sound-blasterx-ae-5

7 1/2 year old full blooded German Shephard. Unfortunately have no pictures as a puppy because she was rescued at 2 years of age. Breeder who originally sold her found out she was being mistreated and bought her back. He posted her on his website, listed as "needs special care" Traveled to Ohio from Pa. to see her and bought her on the spot. He said she was being abused because she would not bark at anyone and they wanted a guard dog. Took  about 6 months before she started to get comfortable around people and not being afraid of being hit all the time. This is my 9th one and one of the best behaved so far.

I have an iPhone 7, great phone for me. Samsung S8 seems to be prone to screen breakage. Have 2 friends with an S8 with broken screens

Don't see why not.

They claim that this card is 30 percent better than the onboard solutions offered now. I can't imagine onboard even coming close considering this card has a 32bit DAC, we shall see.

It's been a while since creative has had a new sound card, hope the drivers are good;  https://us.creative.com/p/sound-cards/sound-blasterx-ae-5

I believe this is the CoDWaW ACE mod and not CoD4

Looking at your screen shot of the registry it says version 1.1, did you install all of the patches?

Make sure you install directx 9.0c;  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Increase the "seta com_hunkMegs" setting from 160 to 512 in your mpconfig file. Should be located in Activision/Call of Duty 2/main/players/your name

Make sure when you enter your key code that you press ENTER and then VERIFY. Have a look at this post to fix a corrupt "mpdata" file;

Here is a nice tool I use when I suspect video memory is bad;  https://www.raymond.cc/blog/having-problems-with-video-card-stress-test-its-memory/

I've been having problems getting in the CoD 2 server lately also. Some times takes up to a 40-50 count to get in. I heard Sinbad talking about a Hunkmegs setting in game and then I remembered doing this before. I changed my "seta com -hunkMegs" setting from default of 160 to 512 in my MP config file and now I get in within a count of 5. This setting allows the game to use more memory for game loading, worked for me so far.

Just copy everything from CD to thumb drive or external hard drive, including profile and patches. Should never need CD again.

New processors will only be supported by Windows 10 now. Windows update will throw an error when searching for Windows updates, although you could use WSUS offline update on Windows 7 and 8.1

Seems as though Ryzen cpu's don't do well for gaming on Windows 10;. http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/microsoft-confirms-windows-bug-is-holding-back-amd-ryzen.html

Is this on the stock Windows driver?

Keep in mind that most munufacturers ssd's will not update the firmware unless it's in AHCI mode.

My 950 pro was running slow also. Looked in device manager and for my AHCI driver the standard Microsoft driver was listed,( my ssd was listed as a removable device in "safely remove hardware"). I found an Intel driver that was modded for W10 and also digitally signed. Upon installation ssd was removed from "safely remove hardware" and my read write scores increased greatly.
