Performance issues while playing Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

Hey.
I've noticed something really annoying when playing the game Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 through Boot Camp (booting native of course) on my iMac.
It all runs smooth the first and maybe the second session, but when I continue to play for 3+ sessions it takes a LONG time for the game to load at the beginning of each map. Sometimes it's not even possible to do anything for almost 3 minutes straight.
It's extreme delay (like I had 0.1 FPS) and it continues to be like this for 3 minutes (or more), but it stops when I've played a while on the map. But then again, next map, it's the same story. I don't have any problems with any other game.
However, when I quit the game and start it up right after, it stops but starts over again. I can play smooth the first few rounds, then delay.
Anyone else have this problem?

Hey XS...Sounds like memory or cache problems to me. How much memory do you have? Are you playing on XP, Vista or Win 7? Make sure you have all the updates that are available installed, such as, Apple Software Update (from within Windows ???), Windows ??? Updates themselves, and the latest COD/MW 2 updates.
I've just finished playing COD Modern Warfare 2 on my Mac and it was awesome. The graphics and scenery are unbelievable. Gameplay was smooth and very responsive. I detected no lag. Not sure how to check the fps though.
I have noticed that after the Windows Vista Desktop appears I have to wait about 2 minutes for Win to complete booting up. Probably something in the background. If I try to launch COD too quick then I sometimes get this "Steam" file compatibility alert. The same is true for quitting COD. I have to wait the same 2 minutes before I can reboot back into Mac OS. Too quick here causes a lot of delays and once a lockup that required a hard startup. Other than that no problems. There could also be some online communications in the background slowing things up. I believe a couple of inadvertent key presses could connect you to the Steam Online Community during gameplay but I'm not sure. I'm not very Windows savvy.
Game Problems: I had a couple of glitches at first that required a reboot but that seems to have been resolved with the latest in-game app update.
Also, my Boot Camp experiences have been flawless to perfect so far. Knock on wood.
My setup-
OS: OSX 10.6.2
Processor: Mac Pro 2 x 2.66GHz
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Video Card: 512 MB nVidia 8800GT, Apple 23" Cinema HD Display
Windows OS: Boot Camp 3.0.1 installed XP/Vista on separate, partitioned 250 GB internal HD (35GB / 215GB)
COD/MW 2 Installed: Standard install on Win Vista Ultimate partition
Suggested-
OS: Windows Vista / XP / 7
Processor: AMD 64 3200+ or Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz or better
Memory: 12 GB free HD space /1 Gb RAM
Video Card: Shader 3.0 or better, 256 MB nVidia GeForce 6600GT / ATI Radeon 1600XT or better

  • Qosmio X300 - Crashes while playing Call of Duty

    Hey,
    I bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 couple days ago and when I play the game for like 30-60 min, my screen turns black, and my sound freezes; starting to sound like a chainsaw.
    I've downloaded the latest graphic driver, but it didnt help. Anyone have a clue of what I can do?
    I run a Qosmio X300 32bit Vista Intel Core 2 Duo Cpu T9600 @ 2,80 GHZ, 4GB RAM the game runs fine, but its starting to get annoying to turn off and on my computer every half an our to play the game.
    Any help would be appreticated.
    Regards Blood$urge ;)

    Could you please update me on this issue (X300-15G)? I have same issue here.
    Nvidia crashed Nwn2 with the supported out of date driver, so updated to a newer version 195.62, but the gpu went above 100C and laptop auto switched off to prevent damage.
    So then I used a large fan in my room directed on the laptop, I had to wear sweater as to not to catch flu, not joking, but this way the game never crashed (tested through about 24 hours including 8-hour non-stop) and laptop never switched off. I dont want to do this though. and I know that unsuported drivers are to be used on one's own risk, but I thought I bought a gaming computer, so you see I need to do something to play...
    Older driver crashed nwn2, crashed civ4 if I set antialias, showed texture artifacts in homm4 etc, so you see supported driver is useless for playing - at least older - games on win7 x64. It is extremely out of date.
    I will try a full recovery from scratch someday (actually I donot think it will fix anything regarding mentioned games), but until then please inform me if there is a better fix.
    Btw, In my oppininon it is not fair from toshiba that it does not release up-to-date nvidia drivers for X300 series, since supposedly this is a gaming laptop.

  • Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Bootcamp.

    Hello,
    recently I have installed Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on my Bootcamp HD. It works like a charm. But I was wondering if it's possible to play the game from within Mac OSX Lion instead of rebooting my MacBook Pro into Windows 7 (Bootcamp).
    Thanks in advance!

    Parallels Desktop for Mac which will allow you to run Windows within MAC OS X without rebooting.
    ...but with drastically impaired performance. High-powered gaming doesn't work well at all in virtual machines.

  • Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 - NAT Type

    Afternoon Everyone,
    Over the past few months myself and other friends who are on BT have experienced a few issues when playing Call of Duty MW2 online on the PS3.
    Our NAT type periodically changes from open to Strict. I've tried every option I can think of and that I have found on other forums. ie putting the PS3 ip in the DMZ turning interleaving off etc.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Im using a hub 1.5 and have a 8mb line with approx 3-6mb throughput depending on peak/off peak times.
    The only way I have found to resolve this is by rebooting both the PS3 and Hub 3-4 times. 
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    This article should help http://bit.ly/fPHO1r
    Its for xbox technically but it should work in the same way for all games consoles (as they all get nat issues) and its how to set up the hub settings optimally. 
    Hope this helps

  • Moderate NAT while playing Call of Duty Ghosts on ...

    As the problem says, I have my NAT stuck on moderate whenever I play Ghosts.  I have run through the checks on CG/GG-NAT and used PortForward.com and I still my NAT remains on moderate.  The kicker is that it *was* Open - I'd checked advice online and people suggested putting it in a DMZ - thankfully that's easy with the Home Hub 4, so I dutifully did that and lo & behold it was showing as Open and my connection was running fantastically.  But then, last week, I powered it on and the game claims I'm on moderate and my connection nearly makes playing online pointless - which, as I went with BT due to the quality of connection I could get is frustrating.  But anyway, all through this my NAT is permanently showing as Type 2 when I check on the PS4, which appears to indicate that I am connecting via a router (which I am).
    Now, I do run an Xbox 360 but it's not powered on when I play the PS4, besides which the PS4 is in a DMZ so nothing the 360 does should cause a problem, unless it's down to UPnP switching port traffic to the 360 (though I have run with ports forwarded to the PS4 AND it in a DMZ to check).  The 360 is also permanently on Open NAT when I play Call of Duty.
    This all leaves me tearing my hair out (if I'd never ever managed to open the NAT I'd probably be less frustrated).  If anyone has any other suggestions on how to solve it I'd be extremely greatful, as (for the moment) it's turned my PS4 into a very nice looking desk ornament.

    Add the port '3074'
    i had same issue with ghosts on my ps4 used the suggested ports supplied by portforward.com no change still moderate but after reading through many various ideas and trying different versions i ended up just adding port 3074 to what portforward.com had already given and it worked.

  • WRT160N V1 Open Nat on 3 Xbox 360(s) Possible for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2?

    All connected wireless.
    Possible?  If so please assist or direct me to a router that would work.
    I'm using the Motorolla SB5101 connected to Cable at about 25 Mbps.

    So you need to Open NAT on all your 3 XBOX's. Well i don't think its possible, never tried to make the NAT open on 3 XBOX. Yes but 2 XBOX can work with your Router and the NAT will be open on your Router.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter... Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
    4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox , IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox, Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
    On you need to Assign a Static IP on your 2nd XBOX. the IP address should be 192.168.1.30, Subnet , Default Gateway, and the DNS should be the same as of your 1st XBOX. 
    On your Router page, under the Application and Gaming tab  you need to click on the Sub tab "DMZ" and you need to Enable DMZ and input the IP address of your 2nd XBOX and click on Save Settings... 
    For your 3rd XBOX you can try to Enable Port Triggering and open the same ports : 53 to 3074 and click on Save Settings... 
    Now you need to restart your all the 3 XBOX's and check if the NAT is Open.

  • Bootcamp with windows 7 pro 32bit playing call of duty 4 modern warfare

    i hope that this topic is correct in this forum..recently boot camp with windows 7 professional 32bit and install call of duty modern warfare and run the game..when i play the game..everything run smoothly..however when i press escape and goes into the pause menu..my screen hangs there..i can't move my mouse..y is it so?anyway to fix this?however when i press escape back..it goes back into the game after some time..hope i can get some help here..thanks..: )

    I have exact the same problem with COD4 and my iMac and thought I'm the only one so far. So I'm sure, it is not an hardware issue, but a driver issue (esp. since the bootcamp 3.1 drivers are really outdated). Installing the latest ATI mobility catalyst drivers (i.e., 10.6) helped me at least a little by making this screen blanking somewhat more rarely but didn't solve it completely. However, I guess we have to wait until Apple fixes the iPhone issues first until they can gather some resources to update the bootcamp ATI drivers from *NOVEMBER 2009*!

  • Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare at Best Buy

    Power Changes Everything.
    Call of Duty is back with their next, highly anticipated game, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare envisions the powerful battlegrounds of the future, where both technology and tactic have evolved to usher in a new era of combat for the franchise. Delivering a stunning performance, Academy Award winning actor Kevin Spacey stars as Jonathan Irons – one of the most powerful men in the world – shaping this chilling vision of the future of war.
    An Advanced World:
    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare takes place in a plausible future in which technological progress and today’s military practices have converged with powerful consequences. In this carefully researched and crafted vision of the future, Private Military Corporations (PMCs) have become the dominant armed forces for countless nations outsourcing their military needs, redrawing borders and rewriting the rules of war. Jonathan Irons, the founder and president of the world’s largest PMC - Atlas Corporation - is at the center of it all.
    An Advanced Soldier:
    Powerful exoskeletons evolve every aspect of a soldier’s battle readiness, enabling combatants to deploy with an advanced lethality and eliminating the need for specialization. The introduction of this gameplay mechanic delivers enhanced player movement and verticality through boost jumps and grappling, covert cloaking abilities, and biomechanics that provide unparalleled strength, awareness, endurance, and speed. With the advent of the exoskeleton and newly advanced armor and weaponry, every soldier commands tactical freedom in any terrain unlike ever before, fundamentally changing the way gamers play Call of Duty across all modes.
    An Advanced Arsenal:
    Harnessing the power of next-gen platforms, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare brings players into the battlegrounds of the future by boasting a new hi-tech, advanced arsenal and ability set, arming players with all-new equipment, technology, perks, and vehicles like hoverbikes and highly specialized drones. Players can also choose between standard ammunition and an all-new class of directed-energy weaponry that enables totally new gameplay dynamics. And with exoskeletons delivering a massive force multiplier and unprecedented tactical freedom, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare evolves every firefight.

  • Call of Duty : Advanced Warfare issues

    Hello guys,
    I bought a MSI Gaming Series Laptop on around August 2014; here are its features :
    http://www.hidevolution.com/new-laptops/msi-gx70-destroyer-229-2gb-amd-r9-m290x-17-3.html
    (except I got 8GB instead of 12 on the website)
    So my problem is ... I have terribly LOW FPS on  Call of Duty : Advanced Warfare (maybe the post has been replied yet on another topic); let me explain it to you quickly :
    -So I launch it on Steam and everything seems to go well
    -Then; when I get into the Campaign Mode even the cinematic is lagging for real, I get also some problem with the sound synchronization (it launchs while the game is freezing and lagging and then... nothing happens; the game continues to play the cinematic without any sound)
    -I also tried Exo Mode and Multiplayer Mode : the same issue is going on.
    About the updates I've already done :
    -Windows Update
    -AMD driver is up to date
    -DirectX
    I also downloaded the game with Steam (I also checked if it is complete; and it is) and it's located in F:// partition maybe it could have change something.
    Thanks for your reading, I hope you'll get some advice for me, I already thank you.

    Have you checked the game is running by dGPU in CCC? Go to start -> power -> switchable graphics applications settings. Set the game run on high performance.
