Directx and Call of Duty

Windows 7SP1 64 bit Professional. I have just installed Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. When I try to play' the following message appears: Direct x encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions Where can I find
'readme' or better still does anyone know the solution to the problem?

You should contact the publisher of that title, Activision, for support.

Spaces and Call of Duty 2?

Hey everyone. I noticed that when I open Call of Duty 2, I can't use spaces. The COD2 application takes up the whole screen and doesn't allow me to use expose, spaces, etc. Is there anyway to make spaces available while I'm using COD2 so that I can easily move out of it if i want? Thanks.

I didn't enable EAX because, for me at least, it always sounds like you're playing the game inside a metal lunchbox. I have both crystalizer and CMSS-3D enable along with the bass boost. I tried disabling each of those one at a time and then all and nothing changed.
I also have FEAR and started it last night to check it out and I didn't notice any problems. I do have some stuttering sound problems with SW Battlefront II. I'm just wondering if it's a hardware/driver bug or something wrong with the games. So far those are the only games I've tried that have had problems.
BTW, I just got the last message from Activision support and after trying a few things they said that that is how the developer intended the sounds to be. I'm not sure about that because a friend with an Audigy 2 card said they sound fine.

WRT54G router and call of duty online gaming

I just bought the WRT54G wireless router and had no problem installing it. I was able to get internet connection on the wired desktop and the wireless laptop. However, when I start playing 'Call of Duty 4' online, within a couple of minutes I start to lose internet connectivity until it completely goes out. At the same time, I will lose connectivity on my laptop as well. In one iteration of fixing this problem, my laptop displayed a message that said something about an 'IP address conflict'.
I called tech support and tried a few different changes in configurations, including changing the MTU to 1400 and creating a static IP address in the 'Accessibility and Gaming' section of the Linksys configurations.
I read several other posts that mention a gaming wireless router (WK300TN or something like that). Do I need that even if I'm gaming on the wired desktop and not on the wireless laptop? Help!

yes WRT310N, WRT330N etc are build for good performance in gaming. Those would definitely improve situation.

Xbox 360 Controller and Call of Duty 4

I bought the Xbox 360 controller with the receiver and installed the driver on the Mac. The driver recognizes it wonderfully in System Preferences. Now, is there any way to use this device to play Call Of Duty 4? (for Mac... naturally).
Has anyone been able to do so?

I'm trying to find the same answer myself. Any luck? I called tech support and they said the game doesn't support it, but to look for a keyboard emulator program. You can view a thread I started here http://gamermodzforum.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?p=10412#10412 regarding this same issue.

What are Quake 4, Motion 3 and call of Duty 4 with respect to benchmarks?

I am trying to decide which new iMac to buy and don't really understand exactly what the benchmark results mean. What are these three tests and how should I interpret them with regard to the type of use my iMac will be for, i.e video and photo editing, Logic Express for music, internet, and maybe iWork?
I do not play computer games at all, nor will I be doing 3-D graphic work.
My partner has just bought the new 20" iMac which is gorgeous but I want the 24" screen.

+"Does a better frame rate equal better video and photo viewing performance in general, i.e, not just for gaming?"+
No it doesn't, gaming is the most popular application for upgrading graphics cards however if you are into any type of 3D graphics such as CAD/CAM software or rendering graphics then it makes sense.
The only other reason for upgrading the video is for possible future needs. If you are pretty certain you won't be doing anything that is 3D intensive the base graphics should be fine. For your needs today I would recommend either the 2.93 GHz model with either the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 256MB or the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512MB.

MSI P67A-G43 and Call of Duty 2

I recently buyed one of this mother boards and i cant play the COD 2 multiplayer mode, an error message occurs in codmp_s.exe... XP, Vista and 7 always the same problem...

Please provide your full system configuration. >>Posting Guide<<
You can play COD2 in single player mode? If so, then I would think that you have a game set-up problem with the mutli player mode.
Just do a search on the net for that error message and you will see you are not alone. Go to the game manufacturers site and check for game updates. It could also be related to direct X installation.
Hi, i think could be a drivers problem, i just replaced my motherboard and processor only and i never had any problem before...
Cod 2 should run perfectly on Windows XP but i have the same crash problem...

Windows 7 (and Call of Duty 5) causes Macbook Pro to overheat and crash

Is this normal, the fans don't seem to kick in and then probably 10mins in I get a BSOD and memory dump.
The area near the lid is too hot to touch but the fans aren't on at all.
I'm guessing I'm pushing my little Macbook Pro too far?!
Yours,
Chris

Turns out the fans aren't running on any version of Windows I install.
Decided to get rid of Windows altogether and stick to Mac games

Problems with WRT54G and Call of Duty 4 hosts....XBOX360

I have a WRT54G wireless router and an xbox360 hooked up wirelessly to it using the wireless adapter made my microsoft for the 360. The problem is that it is nearly impossible for me to connect to ANY host at all. My internet works fine and I dont have this problem with other games. I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with this. My isp is Verizon DSL, i have a Westell 5100 modem, that is about all else I can think of that may have any importance. Thank you for the help in advance.

Check the firmware of the router ... if possible upgrade the firmware .... Also try to forward the ports on the router setup page ..

Call of duty 1.5 patch on intel working for anyone?

If anyone has seen my past posts you would know i have been having some problems with my 24" intel iMac and call f duty and call of duty United Offensive. Well to save you all the past posts..i have finally gotten the disks installed on my computer and running. the problem is if i try to install the 1.5 patch for COD. the installation doesn't happen. it stops installing at the start and looks like it will continue but never does. I called Aspyr and they said that the patch is not intel compatible and that it won't install. bummer. however they also told me that COD in general would not run on an intel or with my graphics card and it runs 100% better than COD 2 does....which runs like atari. has anyone installed the 1.5 patch successfully? if so how? thanks

ok guys...here is the NEW news. you may like this but lets not get our hopes up. don't bother trying to install the patch from your friends computer,i have talked to aspyr a few times over the phone about this the past couple of days and they said it can only be updated from the installer. no other way. I tried doing that too with no success. but i will now copy the email that i sent them and their responses. tell me how i did:)
*First email to them:*
+i have been having problems installing COD and UO on my 24" intel mac. If you check past tickets you can see what i mean. I finally got both CD's to install. the first CD installed without a problem the second CD i had to transfer the files by hand and not use the installer. now the next problem is the patch...or patches...(not sure if they made one patch to replace the two patches? but seeing as I have tried to install the patch before and it wont install i was wondering if there was a way i could install file by file instead of using the installer. could i get it done this way...if so where can i get the files or how can i extract them on my computer, thanks+
*their reply:*
+Thank you for choosing Call of Duty Deluxe for the Mac. Unfortunately, there is no way to install the patches besides running the installer.+
+What happens when you try to use the installer for the United Offensive patch?+
+Sorry we could not resolve this issue.+
+Have a great day.+
+-Aspyr Tech Support+
*My Reply to them:*
+when i try to install the installer it doesn't get past the first+
+second of installation. it just stays in the one spot forever and+
+never moves.+
+do i have to install 2 patches or is the one i have that says it is a+
+combined patch for cod and cod:uo enough?+
*their reply:*
+Ideally, you would need Call of Duty: Version 1.5 patch as well as the Call of Duty: United Offensive: Version 1.5.1 patch.+
+The issue you are having is related to the fact that these patch installers are old and do not run properly on Intel Macs. The first Call of Duty games are not Universal Applications and run under Rosetta emulation when using an Intel Processor. The patches also react adversely when trying to operate in the Intel processor environment.+
+Since this patch issue is also occurring with some games that are actually supported for play on Intel Macs we are trying to isolate and fix the problem for these patch installers first. Unfortunately, since Call of Duty and United offensive are not supported on Intel Macs, I cannot guaranty that we will rebuild these patch installers for this title.+
+The best way to keep informed about patch updates is to sign up for our newsletter here:+
+http://www.aspyr.com/news/newsletter_signup+
+Sorry I couldn't help you more.+
+Thanks for your patience.+
+Have a nice day.+
*Me again:*
+thanks for the info, i guess i waill just play under 1.4.... but honestly as a+
+customer that plays mac games and just bought an intel mac, you should seriously+
+try to fix that 1.5 patch. I bought COD2 and my friends and i still play COD:UO+
+because ...well frankly COD 2 *****. not sure if you have gone on to see how+
+many servers there are... but I see 10 times more servers running COD: UO than+
+COD 2. we buy new computers to play these games under better settings and then+
+find out that you guys don't want to fix them because they are "old" . if the new+
+game wasn't a horrible sequel with no vehicles to drive and many more issues,+
+people would be willing to switch but we are not. thanks, hope you guys listen. in+
+forums all over people talk about these things. COD:UO is still the Bar..+
+everything else falls short. and COD 4 is not a WWII FPS... thats a different+
+catagory so i can't say anything. i will be waiting for that too. thanks,+
+faithful consumer+
*Their last reply:*
Hello,
+We will fix it if possible.+
+I'm going to sit on this e-mail for a couple of days while we discuss some options.+
+I will contact you again in a couple of days.+
+Thanks for your patience.+
+Have a nice day.+
SO..WHAT DO YOU THINK? I Think i made a big enough stink that they actually might try to make a patch that works for us.

Call of Duty 4

just bought the new macbook pro 13 inch and call of duty 4. when i go to play multiplayer, no servers come up for the game. anyone know what to do?

@Thorv
You should have a PBSetup.run file in your downloads folder (or where ever you download stuff too)
launch it, Then when its open, go File > Add game...
Open that up and it should ask you to choose a game (choose Call of duty 4)
Use the path mentioned above "/Applications/Call of Duty 4.app/Contents/Call of Duty 4 Data"
And then it should do its thing
Now that still didn't work for me, but its worth a try
Lets hope a patch comes soon... as I dont care for campaigns

Playing Call of Duty II on my new MacBook Pro... Not Good!

Hey
Just bought a brand new MacBook Pro with ALL the trimmings - and Call of Duty II makes my mac run like I was playing on a Commodor 64.
Does anybody had the same experience - and have you found patches or updates that fixes this problem?
Thanks!
Mikkel

Well, I can offer some things that helped me out *a lot*.
First, I also suffered interminably from my MacBook Pro's malaise while doing 3D gaming-- wondering why I was running games so poorly on a piece of iron that was relatively recent. So, here are the solutions I tried in order.
1) Increased my 2GB of RAM to 3GB of RAM via a Crucial.com RAM purchase. Cost me $100 bucks. I think it was worth it for my gaming and other needs. I have to say that this change alone I did before I ran the Call of Duty 2 demo. I own Crysis and found that the expanded RAM only improved my gaming slightly (~30%). With Crysis and 3GB of RAM, I still had chunky gameplay and I found that 1024x768 was largely unplayable when there was a lot of action on the screen.
2) I made sure that both Bootcamp and Windows XP had all of the latest software updates. Run "Automatic Update" from XP (I'm assuming you're running XP) and then use Apple's "Software Update" mechanism (search for it, if you can't find it) that Apple has built into Windows in order to update Apple's software on the Bootcamp side of the house, too.
3) I downloaded the "Mobility Modder" application (you can get it at driverheaven.net for free) that runs under XP and Vista. Someone else on the forums suggested it, and I also recommend it. It let me tweak the settings of my ATI Radeon card (check to see if your brand and model of card is supported) and then download the latest drivers for my MacBook Pro. (Personally, I have an ATI Radeon X1600 card in my MBP.) The app is free. Also, when you download the new ATI drivers you get this "free" application called EarthSim. It's very cool and when I plugged my MacBook into my HDTV using a DVI-->HDMI cable, it was beautiful seeing the earth on the screen. Absolutely gorgeous!
4) Finally, ensure you download an app like WinClone and backup your Windows partition before you start tweaking stuff (or after, if you're feeling adventurous). I find that it took me eons to get all my software working correctly in XP and it prevents a major re-installation of stuff should you change a setting on something that suddenly hoses something.
5) Lastly, there are those pesky graphics settings in Call of Duty 2. Do not let the app make the "recommended graphics suggestions" for you! It'll give you horrible eye-candy. I haven't copied down my settings (to share with you), but I can tell you that I changed it to 1024x768. Turned on 2x anti-aliasing. SyncEveryFrame was set to OFF. I also turned OFF the other setting underneath SyncEveryFrame. Most other stuff I turned on or set to at least NORMAL. Naturally, YMMV.
I manually changed almost all of the settings to try to take advantage of the "new" horsepower my MacBook Pro was packing with the Mobility Modder app having put me in fighting shape.
Good luck!

X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro causing Call of Duty games to freeze (Windows 7)

BX-Fi Fatalty Pro causing Call of Duty games to freeze (Windows 7)? before I had Windows 7 I was using XP and Call of Duty 4 & 5 worked great, but now that I have Windows 7, COD 4,5 & 6 or any other game built on the IW Engine (Infinity Ward Engine) all ways flash to a black screen for 0 seconds before returning to normal gameplay for only 2 seconds then back to the black screen & so on.
?I've troubleshooted this to be the sound card as when you remove the soundcard and use the onboard Realtek,?the game plays great, no freezes or black screens, but when I put the card back in and install the drivers again the problem starts again.
I'm guessing it's something to do with the Infinity Ward Game Engine as I don't have the problem with other games, it maybe due to the Windows 7 drivers for the card, i'll leave my specs below:
Windows 7?Home Premium 32bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
2GB DDR2 RAM
AMD RADEON HD 3850
Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro (June released drivers)

Have you uninstalled your onboard sound drivers? Yes you disabled it in the bios, but have you uninstalled the software for the onboard? after uninstalling everything with onboard sound in both the bios and windows, you can try reinstalling Direct X which will find your primary sound device again. You can download the Microsoft DX9 redistributable just about anywhere, but microsoft.com will have the Vista/Windows 7 one that works best. Most games will have older versions of the pack.
I played Modern Warfare , 2 and Call of Duty 2 with your card under Windows 7 last month. So I am not sure what else to tell you.

Can I play call of duty on my new 13inch macbook pro corei7?

I bought my new macbook pro 13inch corei7 2 month ago.
in "Tech Spec" we see this : " Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory " and no memory graphics!! Is it mean that I can`t play video games like fifa games and call of duty?
I`m actually sad right now! I wish I`ll run that games on my laptop....
Answer me please....

No.
If you wanted a 3D gamers laptop, you needed a 15"/17" 2.2/2.3 Ghz with the Radeon 6750M in it. (scores 30)
The 15" 2.0 Ghz scores 18.
Your best option now since you blew your wad on the 13" MacBook Nothing, is to get yourself a PS3 or a Windows 7 64bit 4GB RAM expandable desktop machine and a 3D gamers card.
Were as your Intel HD 3000 scores a measly 11 on the Cinebench scale, you could get a Windows tower and peg it out at up to 90 with the right video card.

PS4 Call of Duty Ghosts Lag Compensation Issues

I recently got the verizon fios internet 50 mbps/ 25 mbps, tv, and phone package with an actiontec router. Since I got this, I have been having issues with playing online multiplayer on call of duty ghosts for ps4. The issue is lag compensation where someone sees me in the game first before I see them. Maybe because my connection is too fast? I don't know. I used to never have this issue until I got fios. I think it's because I end up being the host and my connection is way too fast for the other players. I changed from wireless to direct connection to the actiontec router, but it made no difference regarding lag compensation. I've tried port forwarding and DMZ, but it didn't have any effect. I was wondering if I could replace the actiontec router with another modem or router. I feel like the actiontec router is the issue, but I could be wrong. Can someone help me out, please?

hi,i have fios to my speeds 150mbps/75mbps,i have xbox one and call of duty ghost to and some times i get lag too,its not the net work its the game its self.

I have an ipad mini 1st gen 64 gb (wifi only) and i have problem with some of my apps. These apps have lags when you play with them for a few seconds the apps are having lags are call of duty strike team, gta San Andreas and nfs most wanted.pleas help me

I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
To close apps: Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
To solve internet problem, contact your provider. Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies. Your router may be old and slow.
