Problem #4 PC – Call of Duty World at War Black Screen problem/error

Solution #1 :as posted by remni

Ok, for everyone getting the stupid endless black screen bug, the fix is incredibly simple. Just Alt+Tab out if it to switch to a new screen. Afterwards, Alt+Tab back into it, then hit Esc. The main intro should start right up. It’s worked for me everytime so far. Now I’m not 100% sure this works on XP or not, since I use 32-bit Vista, but I imagine it will.

Solution #2 : from Anonymous @ thepiratebay

Assuming you have installed Call of Duty World at War in it’s default installation directory :

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty – World at War\main\video

and delete “Treyarch.bik”. It is recommended that you keep a backup of this video file

Problem #5 PC – Call of Duty World at War Crashes to Desktop / Freezes

Generic Solution #1 : Make sure your video card drivers are up to date… and also make sure your sound card drivers are up to date too. Sound card drivers were known to fuck CoD4 up and there was an error that required you to have a mic inserted in order to play Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer, so there’s no telling if sound cards, dedicated or built-in can screw your copy of COD WAW

Problem #6 PC – No servers showing up in the Call of Duty World at War Multiplayer lobby

Solution : Aside from the stupid stuff like checking if cables are scured, make sure that your ports are properly forwarded. The ports that Call of Duty World at War uses are ports 28930 – 28960, there maybe more and if there are it will be posted here shortly.

Problem #7 PC – How to make your own Call of Duty World at War profile (to save configs and other stuff) / Fixing the profile error or configurations not being saved

Solution : as posted by Dustmite of mininova

Here’s how to fix the profile error:

Vista: Browse to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players and delete everything except for the active.txt. You may need to go into the game one more time, back out, and delete more. Right click on the “players” folder and make sure it’s not set to Read Only. Now you’ll be able to create a profile for yourself.

Windows XP: “Users” is called “Documents and Setting”
