Issues fixed

TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game.

Possible fixes for general crashing

Instructions

The fix is to force the CoD2 exe file to only use one processor core, but that doesn't mean the problem is exclusive to multicore processors; the same thing happens even on a Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading. Note that opening the Task Manager after starting the game and setting the process CPU affinity from there does not work. We have to get a little more involved than that. One last thing: the following directions are for the singleplayer exe file. If you find you need to apply this fix to multiplayer as well simply repeat the steps for CoD2MP_s.exe.

Instructions

Getting automatically kicked from servers

Instructions

Game won't start on Windows Vista and 7

On some systems the game won't start on Windows Vista, 7 or higher.

Instructions

Low fps when using compatibility settings

Because running in compatibility settings give DirectX some unnecessary flags, in game fps can be highly reduced on some systems.

Instructions

Game crashes when changing resolution

In the graphics option menu, set the "Rendering Method Preference" to DirectX 9.

If the game crashes when trying to change the renderer, either modify the game's configuration file manually with a text editor or apply compatibility settings (see Game won't start on Windows Vista and 7 for details).

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/2630/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (2630) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
