Call of Duty 2 works on Windows 7

http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/56811-call-duty-2-cd-start-up-issue.html

I have x64 and it works fine. I just had to install in compatibility mode is all. So, yes, CoD 2 still works on 7. But when I checked multiplayer, no servers came up for me from the master server list. I'll look into it more, but last time I recall, a lot of people still play it.

my friend also had this prob with finding players.he played alone online in MP mode lol but no players have came in the lobby.even though he use XP but I think no one is playing Cod2 any more

Na I figured out what it was. At the top, it has an option for either local or lan and internet. The default is local for some reason. Anywho, I set it to internet and I got some servers to pop up. People do still play, just got to make sure your connection is for the internet and not lan or local.

Hi all!
Im having Win 7 Home Premium x64 and Call of duty 2. When i try to play...i can do that for 10 minutes. After that the computer crashes and the only thing i can do is to restart the computer from the button! If anybody has a solution lets share it.
Thank you and sorry if my English is bad

Please update your system specs in your profile.
Please describe your problem in more detail. Does the game just freeze or crash then freeze the whole PC?

Update GPU drivers.
Update DirectX.
Downoad and install available patches for the game.

Thank you for your post. The game just freeze and i cant do anything except restart PC. I have the latest drivers for the GPU and DirecetX. Patch for the game - 1.3.
Thank you.

Even if the game freezes you should be able to CTRL+ALT+DEL yourself to a screen from where you can open task Manager and kill the process, but that's not the point.

Are you sure that the problem isn't hardware?
COD2 has 2 DirectX modes for rendering graphics, DX7 and DX9. Check these settings, it DX7 is enabled, change it to DX9. Unfortunately, for the time being, I cannot think of anything else to point out. The specs you included are fully capable of handling COD2 with high settings...

 

[ulcho]

Im not able to use CTRL+ALT+DEL. Like i said i have no other choice except restart...Im playing the game on DX7, because the video card is very slow for DX9. I dont know if its hadware problem or not. If you have any suggestions...
Thank you!

 

[Gornot]

Change the rendering to DX9 and lower the settings, then restart the game.

I doubt that your GPU is slow, seeing has how it's not really ancient. unless it really is a hardware issue.

I have a problem with COD2 as well. When I try to start it, it goes black and then there's a box saying that "COD2 has stopped working". This olny happens when I try starting MP. Can anyone help?

 

[Gornot]

Hi,
can you confirm that you have the latest DirectX, GPU drivers, patches for the game, that the game is allowed through Windows Firewall?

Hello,
I have the same problem as zekkecraft does. My SP is working as intended, I can start the game, do missions... But when I want to play MP, it starts and then the whole application crashes. "The application has stopped working." I am really clueless, I have latest DirectX, GPU drivers, game patch and it is enabled in Windows Firewall.
When I had Win XP on this same computer, CoD 2 was working without problems, but other games did not. So I choosed to install other OS and I have chosen Win 7. Now the other games work but CoD 2 doesn't. I am even trying to run it with Win XP SP3 compatibility.

Hi,

Yes, I have all the latest up-dates on everything. I have tried to run it in Xp (sp2 and sp3) mode as-well.

 

[zekecraft]

No its saying that "Default_Localize_Mp.Cfg is missing" What do I do now?!

 

[Gornot]

Reinstall the game.

 

[Stanlezz]

Reinstalling the game does not help me. What should I do? Should I reinstall my Win to x64 version?

 

[Tiek]

No problem.
Vista is one of the worst Operating Systems for computer gaming and other software.
Because of that I used the old XP till Windows 7 came on the market.
Don't forget btw that Windows has given a free code to upgrade to Windows 7 when you bought a Windows Vista. If not, you're not at the right store
Actually I downloaded Windows 7 on the internet for free. I bought a new computer a few months ago and you can get way better hardware if you don't have to buy for the OS.

Have fun with your Windows 7

I had and issue where COD 1 and CODUO worked perfectly. After Playing those on my pc about 100 times...lol, I decided it was time for COD 2. I initially had problems installing COD 2 in Windows 7 until I researched the problem and found this forum. Finally I was able to Install COD 2 by doing the "Run As Administrator" thing. However, when I tried to play the game. My computer was very slow and unresponsive at times. I had almost given up on it until I went to "Contol Panel" and opened up the "NVIDIA Control Panel". Under "Adjust Image Settings with Preview", the "Let the 3D application decide" was ticked. So, I ticked "Use my preference emphasizing" and set it to "Balanced". Restarted my computer, ran COD2 as Administrator again, Problem solved! Working great now. Hope this helps.
