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.

TS1702 How To Play Call Of Duty Multiplayer In A Window

Everytime I open up COD which I just got it jumps into fullscreen. I know that Command Tab will do it but for multiplayer when I try the key combination it just quits the game... Any help?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't do the trick. It works for other games like Starcraft, though.

I tried to apply the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Promotion today at Best Buy...

Well today I had another unfortunate experience at Best Buy. I tried to use the below deal that begins today:
Trade in Call of Duty: Ghosts for Xbox One or PS4 and receive $20 trade-in value. Trade in Call of Duty: Ghosts for Xbox 360 or PS3 and receive $10 trade-in value. Trade in Call of Duty: Black Ops II for Xbox 360 or PS3 and receive $15 trade-in value. Trade in Call of Duty: Black Ops for Xbox 360 or PS3 and receive $10 trade-in value. Plus, get a $10 off coupon to use toward Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Offer valid in store only. Trade in values shown include any bonuses. Trade in values valid 10/19/14–11/2/14. Coupon valid in stores only through 11/8/14. Not available in all locations. Payment is by Best Buy gift card. You will be required to agree to Best Buy's trade-in Terms & Conditions. Participating stores may have additional requirements. Best Buy reserves the right to refuse any trade-in or limit quantities for any reason. Tax is calculated from the regular retail price prior to gift card value being applied to the bill. Not compatible with any other offer. Limit 1 coupon per transaction. See a Customer Specialist or for details.
1) I went over to the gaming kiosk to trade in my games. The employee told me I have to do this at the customer service desk. I've never had to do this at any Best Buy. I always trade in games at the kiosk since USUALLY I'll get someone knowledgable with video games and the current promotions.
2) I go to the customer service desk and told the girl I want to trade in CoD: Ghosts and Black Ops II. I also want to use the $10 coupon promotion and apply it to a CoD: AW preorder.
3) The girl tells me that I have to do this online. The coupon fine print obviously states it is in-store only. I try explaining this is an in-store promotion.
4) She told me I must be talking about the $10 rewards certificate for preordering. NO. Look in the ad, they are two different promotions.
5) Then, she told me that I cannot preorder this game in-store. "We must have run out of copies." I've never heard of a standard edition Call of Duty game run out of preorders before. Especially on a new system (PS4) where they need their userbase to be huge.
6) At this point I was fed up. I asked if there was someone in the video gaming department that had more experience with the promotions and trading in games. The girl told me that they do not have any video game specialists at the store.
I seriously cannot believe a Best Buy store can be this clueless. How can someone run a business like this? Sadly this is not the first time I've ran into problems with Best Buy.
Has anyone had any luck using this promotion? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???

Hello WeaKeN,
It shouldn't be so difficult to pre-order an upcoming game, so I can imagine why you'd be frustrated! It sounds like the rep you spoke with might not have been familiar with either the game trade-in or pre-order process, although walk-through guides and training documents should have been readily available at the time of your visit.
To take advantage of our current Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare trade-in promotion, customers simply need to trade in a copy of either Call of Duty: Ghosts or Call of Duty: Black Ops II and reserve a copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare at their local store. Both the trade-in gift card and coupon can then be applied at the time of pickup, with the $10 pre-order bonus certificate being awarded 15-20 days after pickup. Since the Atlas and Atlas Pro edition are online-only items, they are not eligible for this offer.
Were you able to reserve your copy of the game? Are you still in need of assistance?

No call of duty zombies for Indian app store?

Hey, i was searching for games on my ipad 3 and i was not able to find any call of duty games in the Indian app store , while the US app store has it for $6.99.
Why would apple do this? no support for the Indian call of duty fans ?

If content is different it's because it either hasn't been licensed for that country or perhaps it's not allowed in that country. Every country has different rules of what is/isn't allowed to be sold and this could be the cause.
Your best bet for an answer is to ask the game developers why they are not in the app store. I doubt Apple cares. With Apple getting a cut of every sale in the app store, I would imagine their preference would be for everything to be available everywhere, so any limits are likely the responsibility of a third party.. Perhaps the talent in a movie were not paid for international distribution, perhaps a country does not like or approve of a game.
(for example, facetime is not allowed in UAE countries and Apple has to respect that prohibition)

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 Atlas Pro pre-ordering issues

I've had some issues trying to pre-order the Atlas Pro edition of Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. I went in store to preorder it that edition and was told I couldn't that I would have to do it online. The woman looked on the online store and said it was listed as "Coming Soon". She told me to wait a few days and check again.
I waited a few days and looked back on bestbuy.com it still was listed as "Coming Soon". I called Best Buy customer service support and told me that it was still listed as "Coming Soon" and that they couldn't order it for me over the phone. I was told again to wait a few days or go into the store and preorder it. I couldn't preorder in the store because of the "Coming Soon" listing
This past weekend it was listed as "Coming Soon" and I checked a couple of more times it was finally listed as "Add to Cart" I begin to purchase the item only to have it mysteriously disspear during the checkout. This happened 3 times on Saturday until the game was finally listed as "Coming Soon" again.
I've checked frequently the past few days only to see the game as "Coming Soon" and today I find it listed as "Sold Out Online". I've been given the runaround about pre-ordering this item and wasted more time than I should of only to find it "Sold Out". Can anyone look into this before I give up and go pre-order from Amazon?

Hey again yingfo,
Thanks for your interest in pre-ordering the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Atlas Pro edition with us! It's definitely proving to be a popular title, so I can imagine how anxious you must feel to secure a copy.
As with any other listing on BestBuy.com, the status of pre-order items tend to change based on the availability of that product. These statuses can change relatively quickly too, especially in the case of high-demand items and deal of the day offers. The best advice we can give would be to keep an eye on BestBuy.com for updates as we get closer to launch day.

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!
Brian

Just purchased call of duty 4 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 4GB but will not launch or open. Any suggestions, please.

just purchased call of duty 4 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 4GB but will not launch or open. Any suggestions, please.

Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8. Then try launching the app.
if that doesn't help, try contacting the developer of the app > http://support.aspyr.com/home

What model is your Mac? It's under the About this Mac > More info (Apple menu)
Go to energy saver and disable graphics swtiching, if you don't see it, then you don't have a "3D gamers" laptop or a video card strong enough to run the game.
Only a 15" MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz or better can run the game as it has a stong video card.
Intel HD 3000 graphics only Mac's need not apply.

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.

Gaming in mac book pro 7.1--Call of Duty

Hi Guys,
i'm using a mac book pro 7.1 (2.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM).
I don't know why when i play with call of duty modern warfare 2 (MAC USE ONLY) the mac is very slowly!;
the entire visual move from left to right, up and down, continuosly: this is a very bad way to play with a MAC!.
Ehi someone, solve my problem please!.
I have not bought with many money the mac in order to play in this way!.
Bye.
M

You purchased the wrong MacBook Pro if gaming is your thing. The simple fact is that MacBook Pro's are not designed as gaming machines, per se, and your model...a 13" with integrated graphics...no dedicated GPU...is a poor choice for graphic intensive games. There is nothing you can do to change this fact, other than not running anything but the game & lowering the game's settings.

Call of Duty 4 on Macbook Pro stuttering?

Hey
I bought my Macbook Pro last Saturday and installed Windows XP with Service Pack 3. Everything went great, I also installed Bioshock, Assassins Creed, and Rainbow Six Vegas 2.. They ran great but not Call of Duty 4...
The graphic are MAX out but I don't know why when I turn around in the game, its stuttering like if the framerate are trying to catch something, the sound is fine but the video stutter when i turn, any1 know why?

Turn down the dynamic shading (shadows etc) this usually gets rid of frame lag

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*!
