I have just installed COD 1 GOTY edition on windows 7, everything installed fine but when i try to play multiplayer i get this error message:
i have tried running it with admin and also tried in XP mode SP2 and 3. any ideas to the problem? (apart from it being a 7 year old game :P)
im running Windows 7 Pro 32bit
yes i tried that, i changed the compatibility settings so that it would run in compatibility with XP
Don't have the game for pc, but it seems COD1 has problems on Win 7. People have tried to a new library, etc., but to no avail. Sorry.
ok no problem, thanks for the help
COD1 worked perfectly for me on 32bit, though I do not own the GOTY edition.
Make sure you have the latest nVidia drivers installed, most people that had problems with this game was because of the drivers.
As an alternative, you can try forcing the game to run on a single core (if you have a dual core CPU or above).
One last thing, if none of the steps above work, download the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable", preferably directly from Microsoft's website.
thanks for the tips, i got it working now, i did a bit more searching online and found a file that makes it work as i have a ATI graphics card.
yeh no problem, ill find the file i used.
Download atioglxx.rar
Just need to extract the file and then place it in your Call of Duty folder e.g. C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\
