hi mate I’m getting directx errors and I can’t to get COD WAW to work. I checked out the other sites and the beta forums and they they seem fix the problem by reinstalling directx9 but this method doesn’t seem to work for me. hope you’d reply.
one more thing, i just downloaded this off the torrents, but from what i’ve read from the comments the torrent’s working fine.
Error after Click on the Install button (menu) : Error reading setup initialization file
High CPU Usage. Not 100% but near 95% (codwaw.exe). UNPLAYABLE
Hi have problem #3, but the solution is only for Windows Vista, and I have Windows XP. Any Idea ?
When i try to start the game i get the “don’t send” error.My drivers are up to date. I need some help . Thank you
Hi…I have the problem creating the profile from the start.
I have Win XP Professional x64 Edition. MAYBE the problem is that I have installed it on D drive (WinOS is on drive C), but I am not too sure about it. I will try to reinstall it to C drive and notify you if I was successful, but I think it’s a long shot. :S
When I enter CoD: WaW, game asks me to create profile, and when I enter desired nick it says “Profile could not be created”. There is no possible way for me to create it…can you guys help please? I have tried the solution from problem number 7, but I can’t find those folders that you have mentioned(AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players)because they are just not there.
Thank you in advance
#6 : “Windows XP: “Users” is called “Documents and Setting””
No luck for me on that directx error, downloading another copy of COD, hope that it works this time.
@Art of War
I don’t know if your answer was directed at me, but I feel obligated to answer to you and our friends from gameingnews…I KNOW that “Users” is called “Docs and Settings” in XP…I have shortened the previous line (”C:\Users\Username\”) bcs I thought it was understandable in this case. I went to “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator” and from there I was unable to find the rest of the folders.
Once again, I thank you guys in advance for solving this problem.
Cant get the game to work. I am using vista32. I installed and copied the crack as instructed but when I tried to launch the game, it gave me a message “call of duty world at war has stopped working”. In view problem details, it shows APPCRASH as the problem event name. I updated video drivers, Punkbuster and direct X already, same issue. Can anyone help me on this pls.
#7 dont run it is impossible for me to create a online profile.
hi ok i have a solution for no:1 black screen. i get this and i was told if you can get into the game the first time, open up console and enter these 2 commands.
/r_fullscreen o
/Vid_restart
This will put you into a window box, and stopsall the black screen crapp.. you will need to go back into your game if screen is to small, select graphics and set it to your screen res, ie 1280X960 which i use, you can still play the game in nearly full screen say 95% It does stop the black screen issue then Tabbing out.
OK MY Problem is: The Profile Dont Work.
My main problem is im still not able to create a profile, even tho it tried (Dustmite of mininova) Soliution, i still get cant creat profile. as when i enter it i then get you need to create Profile to play multlyplayer and co-op mode do you want to continue, i click yes, enter profile name then back to sqare one profile cant be created.
I hope there is a fix for this i dont want to of spent £30 out on a game and cant use it, i be very annoyed.
Steve
Same as Steve, cant create a online profile, and I already tryed the Solution from #7
and btw, for xp users its:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players
but its not helping(for me)
hope that someone can solve it…
I just disabled all my sound devices except my USB headset. that toke care of the:
Error: Could not load material “water_droplet”.
Error: Could not load material “water_dynamic_spray”.

i installed latest direct x.. gfx drivers.. and tried the solutions listed above..
hope someone can help
Hi thanks for posting the various solutions… but my problem is not listed… I can only play the first level and then while loading the second level it crashes to desktop giving the following error
“DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error.
Check the readme for possible solutions.”
I have already updated my drivers and directx but still no luck… I tried the unlocker to try try out other missions by just skipping the second one but still no luck… the game crashes on every level while loading except for the first one… Dnt know wats going on….
Please help!!
My problem is a little odd. I can play and complete the first two missions (1.Semper Fi & 2.Little Resistance) without a single problem. But every time I try to load the third mission “Hard Landing” , the game crashes to desktop or sometimes my PC just hangs up. Pressing Alt+Tab or Ctrl+Alt+Del makes no difference , so I have press the restart button. Hope someone has the solution.
For all those who have problem with directx try downloading this file and installing it. maybe it can help.
directx_nov2008_redist.exe
Hi guys, I am one of those guys with a Nforce2 motherboard and I’ve never been able to find a better driver than the last ones supported by Nnvidia(which are old). I’ve got an original copy of COD4 and I can’t play with PunkBuster on because they’ve never fixed a soundcard issue(onboard one) which forced me to rename mssmp3.asi to mssmp3.bak. This allows me to play the game (the microphone solution doesn’t solve it for me. The WAW demo wont even start. Running XP on a 3200 AMD with a Gforce 7600 GS and Realtek ALC 650 onboard card. Suggestions will be rewarded with digital praise.
I saw someone else had this problem, but none of the voices work in the game for me. I occasionally hear a Japanese guy die, but for mission dialog from fellow soldiers, anyone that talks doesn’t make a sound.
Hey, i have the same problem as metalhead666 and partly bluenight. I can play the first mission with no problem and when the second loads the game crashes and i cannot Alt+Tab or Ctrl+Alt+Del so i cant even see my error report. Not only in solo but in co-op and multiplayer too.
hi i have a problem with starting the game up..installing worked perfectly but when i want to play the game.. it gives a MS-dos screen (2seconds) than dissapears.. if i look carefully it says.. program to large to fit in mermory.. but my computer is more than good to run call of duty (checked it at site) old games i also cant play with dos.. some1 know how the sollution? my english is not so good:$
Greetzz from holland
The game crashes while it’s loading the mission Eviction. It just freezes there.
Can i just ask 1 Question.. Are any of you using the Donloaded leak version or the original version. as there is problems with the download version, you can play single player,but not multyplayer…
Are you getting these errors on the leak version, or the Original, as the orgina dont come out untill after the 14th in the UK, so maybethats why there these problems, maybe ya should wait untill you buy the game when released..
Steve
Hey ,watsup, I ‘ve got the same problem as #19 Richard.
If COD4 could work by editing a file, surely CODWaW should also have a fix, since its th same engine, the problem is that those files mentioned by #19 Richard are not present in CODwAW folder.
Any help getting it working will be appreciated.
MHB, if I find a workaround I’ll let you know. Still working on CoD4 itself. I am also considering buying another soundcard but a bit of assurance that these problems are indeed related and solvable by for instance a fix, better drivers or if I must buying another soundcard would be nice.
hi…i can’t get the installation to work. it freezes at various points during the installation. i have windows vista ultimate, 32-bit.
thanks for your help!
scott
PLEASE! I have it installed on xp. i have the water_droplet problem but the thing is it only shows how for vista. i need to know how for xp. please
Hey everyone,
I have problem 3 and my PC is running on Windows XP. The solution is only for Vista and I tried lot’s of things to let Call of Duty : World at War work on my computer.
If someone knows how to fix this that would be great.
Greetings from the Netherlands
When I try to connect to a server, cod 5 crashes and puts out an error in another window or the error is inpure client detected! iw_14.iwd … Could anybody help to solve the problem?
I’m having problems with the voices as well. You can clearly see people talking but I’m not hearing anything they’re saying. Any fix for this?
FOR ALL THOSE WITH PROBLEM 2 AND 3 AND RUNNING XP!! the solution:
1) right-click my computer and select properties
2) select the hardware tab
3) go on device manager
4) go to Sound, Video, Game Controllers
5) now at this part start to disable random things and check if the game works each time. i found out that what was screwing it up was the mic on my webcam. so basically just try disabling different things
hope this helped. took me a while to figure out.
for all of u who cant find ur profiles.. the folders are “hidden”..try activate “show hidden folders” and u will find it.
hello i have a provlem…i do install the game play normal multiplayer game but not solo and new game i push new game and my pc lag what is my problem?help me
RE: “Error during initialization: Unhandled exception caught”
This is for XP users as Solution #2 is for Vista users.
I guess this occurs if you have an internal modem installed. Just go to control panel->sound…->got to hardware tab-> choose on the list with unimodem Half duplex something like that) and click properties and disable it.
more info (not really needed to get the game to work :D)
(I think this is the audio device of the modem(internal modems are just audio devices made to work as “modems”)
cod5 seems to be getting this instead of the default playback device
I have had several “Hanging Issues” with a few games including this one and every time i disable AA{anti-aliasing} and it fixes the problem. Don’t ask me why, but it does. Most people may not realize have this problem until this game came out because most others didn’t turn on AA unless on high quality graphics settings, but WAW seems to turn it on by default no matter what.
I get this with an 8800GTX, on a K9N Diamond mobo with 4gb’s SLI Ram and a 6000+ AMD Cpu. So it isn’t a low end hardware issue.
kma
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players ok I do this and still have a problem like a error that wont let me play the game also yea around the third mission i hear the voices and all like we are ready to go then when it starts it lags completely horribly and then goes black screen If anyone finds the solution I will be grateful for the help and thank them personally because that person deserves gratitude. XD
Thx epiquestions (#35) You’re my hero lol.
I’d completely forgotten i even had an internal modem left in my box (figured i would have disposed of that years ago)
HEY!! I deleted Treyarch.bik. I played the game and everything went fine..Then as soon as I click new game and select my difficulty, the music just stops and the game freezes. I tried patching it but that didnt help. I could play CoD4 with no problem on High. Anyone have any solutions???
every time i try to load multiplayer servers the names dont show up and i get error message to install patch and i already have and still says same thing
HELP! I cant play COD4 SP because it asks me to insert the correct DVD. But i have it in my drive. Occurs on single player icon, multiplayer icon gives me black screen with initialization error. I have all current drivers and all. Had game for 12 hours, still no progress.
Sorry, that was copy paste error above. It’s for Call of Duty: World at War!
whenever i press new game then choose any level it does nothing….
whenever i choose online profile the game crash…
any solutions?
Hi… I found a solution to my problem… Just install the latest Directx (November 2008 release) and revert back to ur old Nvidia Drivers… I had to revert back to the oldest drivers i had to get it working (The ones that came on cd with the card)… But after that i installed the driver version 175.16 and game works like a charm… No problems at all…
Just try this it might solve the problem for you… It surely did for me…
I have this same problem like CAN’TPLAY and Chris?
I have reloaded version, and i select new game select difficult and nothing!
PLz help i want to play
Damm i find another solution for the unhandled exception! I tried many things , one of these must work (worked 4 me):
1: go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
2: Delete __CoDWaWmp
3: Go to players\profiles and delete all the player profiles here (except active.txt)
This was the ONLY solution for me
Szedy Your solution working me too!!
GZ! Great Job! Great Thanks!
You are awsome
I am on Vista 32
And I installed cod5 from RELOADED.
Well, the problem is not mentioned above by anyone so far.
I can start the game and see the menu. But i couldn’t play the mission. It does not give me any warning or crashes. It only jumps back to the menu every time I want to select a difficulty. So imagine you want to play the first mission and you select veteran, then after that you are jumped back to the mission screen like if nothing happened.
I have been stuck here for awhile and have no solution, I wonder if anyone know the reason and have solutions to that.
Thx for reading my long problem.
oops, someone did have the same problems as me.
Doesnt this suck……….
i have all the latest video drivers latest direct x but i can only play a few maps makin cliffside nd seelow nothing else works wth please help lol
I have same problem as Scott, #27. When i try to install, it freezes to different points of install, sometimes it installs about half of the game and sometimes it just freezes on the second file. Almost always on different file. Nothing works. try to press cancel but no reaction. Have to press restart button always.
Help would be nice.
Thank you

Crash or Freeze During Install
When installing it kept failing on IW_03 file and Activisions site said to download the CD/DVD Nero DriveSpeed speed utility and try 8x to 2x until it works. I found I had to go all the way down to 2x before I could install the game. It also said to clean out windows\temp directory. I tried that before I changed the speed and it didn’t help. I rebooted after installing the utility and it showed all the speeds to modify. Changing resolution also didn’t help before I downloaded the Nero DriveSpeed utility. In fact I change the resolution back before I ran the utility to get it installed. You can get the file here :
http://www.cdspeed2000.com/download.html
I wouldn’t try experimenting with different speeds, just go to 2x and save yourself some time. The fix on Activision site is number 22165 and is called Crash or Freeze during Install.
Good Luck!!
I hawe the same problem like guis before me. Could not connect to online service. What now?
Het guys.
I’ve had the same problem as a number of people above - I can start the game, but it freezes when I try to start a new game. Activision has said the game is incompatible with Realtek sound cards (Some Dell, HP, and Compaq computers have them onboard, likely other brands as well), and suggest changing the driver to the Microsoft Audio Drivers 6.0.
Trying that currently, and will post the results.
Well, that was q
Well, that was quick, Microsoft Audio Drivers 6.0 don’t exist. No idea how to proceed now.
szedy ok i have Deleted__CoDWaWmp, but i have problem with 2. deletion of files:
3: Go to players\profiles and delete all the player profiles here (except active.txt)
This “Players/profiles” where is that? Maybe it’s a stupid question,but i can’t find it…. Cheers
C:\Users\_yourpcname_\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles
With the problem ‘cannot making online profile’ it’s cuz ur using pirate version (cracked) cod…..

Doesnt this suck……….
i have all the latest video drivers latest direct x but i can only play a few maps makin cliffside nd seelow nothing else works wth please help lol”
Same exact problem with my install running WinXP32. Very aggravating to say the least. Reinstalled game, gfx, sound and DirectX drivers. I can only make it through the first map in solo theN freezes up with a DirectX error. Can only load the cliff map in Multilayer.
Well, I’ve been told, that a file named “localized_english_iw01.iwd” hasn’t been found on my installation disk. I am using Vista32, have written that installation would be ok if I am installing without user right management, but also when I am doing with administrator rights there’s the error. Do you know what to do? Please forgive me my awful English. Bye and thanks from Germany…
I just bought call of duty world at war and am using it on windows xp and i got the latest drivers and reinstalled my video card. When i first open the game i can join a game but when it loads for the next game it ealier freezes on the loading screen or it just pops up a black screen and stays there forever. Also, sometimes while its on the loading screen for the next game, i can hear an error message pop up and it says im having directx errors. please respond with a solution if u can

I then put in the patch and still the same results happen. afterwards I tryed puting in a no-dvd exe in and still same story.
PLEASE HELP!
OK, in ref to #82 i had the console open while clicking the start game and it says i dont have a default profile, it never asked me for a profile. I checked in the players folder and there is nothing in there. How can i create a profile?
I am loaded but cant start either, appears to have something to do with sse. In cod4 Ichanged the mssmp3.asi, but alas cod5 doesnt have the miles file. Dont know which file to change. any ideas! Swag
By the way I have athlon xp processor it runs cod4 well! Swag
For those who have the problem that the game wont start when asked for the difficulty, here’s the solution.
1: go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
2: Delete __CoDWaWmp
3: Go to players\profiles and delete all the player profiles here
4: Create a folder with the name you want for your profile.
5: Create a txt file, name it “active” and write the name of the folder you’ve just created for your profile.
The game should now take it as the default Profile, and it’ll start
cheers
Hey Tom, I cant get there- when I hit on the screen to play single player the screen goes away, do you think this will fix this also? Swaag
Tom u r just fucking rock thanks a lot man !!! it working perfect now..
“5: Create a txt file, name it “active” and write the name of the folder you’ve just created for your profile.”
iam confused about this step.
write the username inside the txt file?… ? just an empty text file named “active” with our username in it?
THANK YOU for the Clarification! MUCH appreciated!
swag
You put Solo Campaign, New Game, Any difficulty and it returns to the last menu??
If that’s your problem, the solution is the one that i’ve posted.
A way to check that it worked is to look in the main menu, at the right top corner. you will see “Go Online” and below “Offline: The profile you created”. If the profile name doesn’t appear, the new game won’t start
rebeltis
you write your profile name inside the txt file named “active”
The txt file should be inside the “Profile” folder, not the one you created
example:
C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\Profile
Inside there should be a folder called “Tom”, and a txt file called active.txt while consists only of the word “Tom” inside (always without the “)
That’s as clear as I can make it
hey Tom thanks for your help. But still your solution won’t work. I canno process from difficulty setting. Has any1 tried Tom’s solution?
never mind. I moved TXT filie to profile folder and not it works you rock Tom thank you very much
Well i tried that, i even uninstalled, deleted the whole activision folder from program files AND appdata. When i reinstalled there was no profile folder, only a file named servercache.dat. I created a folder name “profile” another folder named “jamie” and then the the active.txt file with jamie in the text file. It still wont work and the offline on the game is blank, its still not loading the profile
Tom, I get the menu then hit solo and you hear it try to start but the menu dissapeers and that is it . cod4 did the same thing and I cured this with the rename of mssmp3.asi file in the miles folder. There is no miles folder in cod5! Thanks Swag
jlp
you need one more step
the folder in which you have the servercache.dat should also have a “players” folder. If you dont have it, create it. Inside that folder you should create another folder named “profiles”. Then inside that one you place the “jamie” folder and the txt file
Hope it solves it
swag, did you try what I explained in the last posts??
cos I had that exact problem and that solved it
Tom sorry I cant try that right now Im a battalion chief at a fire dept and am on duty. I am just gathering info for the fix I think I will need when I get home.Sorry I am slow with the talh here but the alarms have been going off, thats why I have to fix cod5 so I can unwind.lol
I have tried Tom’s solution, and I can verify that it works.
Hey madcat what processor do you have?
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\tom (your profile name) and in the folder u should create a txt file name active.txt and after get in the txt file and write there tom (your profile name) and save open the game and play!Enjoy thanks again Tom..dont forget the delete other profile and also _CoDWaWmp ..
I have the same problem as 23. The loading bar for the Eviction mission gets to about 25% and freezes. It isn’t an issue with the video, as I temporarily deleted it, and it still froze there.
Thanks for the solution Tom!
I did what you said and I am able to start playing in Solo
i get this error when i try to install the patch 1.1
Error 1310 and sometimes 1304. error writing to file
C/Program Files/Call of Duty - World at War/CODWAW.exe
verify you have access to that directory
I can play the single player without the patch when i put the disk and click single player. the sp worked fine and still does but I cant patch the game and play multiplayer. uninstalling removes the game but the COD folder is still there with the .exe file which i cannot remove
I need help please
eviction crash me too.try reinstall same here.
pls help…
i check the properties of the .exe file and it essentially doesn’t exist why i try to check it with text pad so it’s an empty .exe that i cannot remove, change, copy, paste anything….
this seems like an empty virus caused by the patch and i can now no longer play single player
My game was freezing up randomly in both multiplayer and singleplayer and then I’d have to reboot. It did this all the time.
I downloaded the latest Realtek High Definition audio drivers for my on board sound from the Realtek website - a file called “WDM_R208.exe” and now my game hasn’t crashed all night. Woot.
Thanks Tom!
For those who have the problem that the game wont start when asked for the difficulty, here’s the solution.
1: go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
2: Delete __CoDWaWmp
3: Go to players\profiles and delete all the player profiles here
4: Create a folder with the name you want for your profile.
5: Create a txt file, name it “active” and write the name of the folder you’ve just created for your profile.
The game should now take it as the default Profile, and it’ll start
cheers
hi just downloaded codwaw click on the single player nothing happens,click on multiplayer and message codwaw has encountered problem and needs to close anybody have any idea of problem.
@rufusflywheel: I hope you read the response just above you….
And as for the multiplayer, I have no clue to make it work too. it always crash on me too.
first of all I cant find this file “_CoDWaWmp”
is it just on vista?!
secondly, I already tryed everything you say here but nothing works for me, when I get in the game its not showing any profile, and when I gwt out of game I have this “$$$” folder again and in the “active.txt” I have “$$$”
and I cant create any new profile..
Ok, im running this game on XP and i have the problem where i double click the single play / coop option on my desktop and it opens up in to a black screen and flashes for about 1 second, then crashes back to desktop. I am desperate for solutions to this problem. i have tried changing screen res too 800×600 and that didnt help, i cannot find the sound card option to change it to studio quality… PLEASE HELP!
There is no
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
or
CoDWaWmp
in windows xp guys. i mean there must be some profiles somewhere, but it’s not there. there is no place like that actually. is this only for vista?
I’m having the after difficulty select problem, created a players/profiles folder under
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programlar\Activision\Call of Duty(R) - World at War(TM)
and in that, a folder with username and in that a txt file with active.txt name and in it my username again.
Now, game opens, and when punkbuster kicks in - which i did not install - it just kicks me out and gives me the unhandled something problem. i think my only problem is that i cant delete CoDWaWmp. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE IT IS IN XP, I’M GOING CRAZY!
i mean the solo game when i say game opens by the way
wait my fault i was looking for the codwawmp in the wrong place i’ve erased it from the main game folder and punkbuster doesnt kick me out anymore, but my profile doesnt work either, i’m right back where i’ve started. there must be a profiles folder somewhere else in xp.
as i wrote at #46:
1: go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
2: Delete __CoDWaWmp
3: Go to players\profiles and delete all the player profiles here (except active.txt)
This works on vista. I dont remember where you can find in xp, but it must be in documents….
i’ve done all that things in #109 and multiplayer just dont work! cant create online profile. After i just clicked: codwaw has encountered problem and needs to close. cant play online :\ PLEASE HELP!
well as i wrote at #114:
there’s no
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
in xp.
Pretty nice fixes youve got here. Anyway, about my problem:
Ive been checking out garena’s codwaw room.
Each time me and my friends play coop there, we are having hell lot of lag issue, Chinese players don’t have this kind of problem as far as I can see them playing with 3-4 players.
We only have lag issue if we are playing 3-4 players coop but when it is only 2, there’ll be no problem at all. It is not our connection. We all have about 3mb dl and 1mb ul.
I wonder if those chinese players have some kind of fix about it cause they are not having problems at all. Check out chinese room at garena. Players there with a decent dsl speed plays fine.
More power to you!
anyway i realized that #109 is for profile fix errors but not in multiplayer. but someone help me out. i cant play online, i’ve been in 50 forums yesterday and i found nothing! helpppp
I told you, for xp users its:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW
and this is a problem that affect a lots of people! in that 50 forums nobody can fix this problem! “can not connect to online service” damn!
tom i’ve found it, deleted all profiles, deleted __codWaW, created a folder inside players/profiles named oguzhan, created a txt file named active in it, wrote oguzhan into the text file. and it’s still not my default profile. do you have any ideas?
this is great, i did it, i misplaced the active file ive fixed it. now my default profile is oguzhan and i can press the new game, but when i do it guess what happens, IT FREEZES. it was all for nothin.. anyway guys, thanks.
ok, just looking for a fix for the single player launch problem where it crashes instantly after flashing a black screen. im on xp btw guys.
Cheers, Gonzo
This profile problem is really annoing..
anyone here have any other idea?
Definitely a new patch is needed to fix these problems…glad i’am not the only one…i just think we should be complaining to the developers…i’ve spend over 7 hours trying to fix this…
btw thannks for all your helps and efforts…hopefully a new patch will be out!
please help I have problem:when I lunch the game after few seconds he send me the error:Call of Duty{R}:World at War Campaign/Coop has encountered a problem and needs to close.Then I click here and he show me the error signature AppName:codwaw.exe AppVer:1.0.01 ModName:codwaw.exe Modver:1.0.0.1 Offset:0001b3da
I have the profile problem… i created the needed folders and text… deleted the codwawmp file… i even lowered the sound quality (just in case)… but my profile (Kim) still does NOT appear right next to OFFLINE… ARRGGGG… this is getting on my nerves!! why the hell my profile doesn`t appear??? im from Argentina, and so, my XP is the spanish version.. maybe that little tiny detail has sumthing to with it???
thx for ur help
got a solution for the “solo game won’t start” problem…
i just did what u wrote above, creating a profiles folder and a folder with my username, also the active.txt within my username. but it doesn’t work… so i copied my active.txt into all folders above… meaning into the profiles folder, players folder and into the CoDWaW folder…
guess what? it works
btw, i’m using XP SP3 and the Reloaded Version
(i also installed patch 1.1 and used the 1.0 fixed exe, it also works ^^)
try that… didn`t worked.. T____T

kroner i can’t play online either! i have the same problem has you and i would like to know how do i fix that :\
Can not connect to Online Service.
what is this? is there a solution for this bullcrab?
Hi all,I have problem with sound.sound doesnt work,please help,
comments 31,17.136,HELP people
BobGertsen it’s so annoying… i cant play online. we need a solutionn
ok, here’s a solution for all of you who can’t connect to Online service…instead of making profile for playing Online (multiplayer mode) here is URL for a site with a list of serves with respective IP’s…when you enter the game don’t bother creating profile, just go to main screen turn console ON (by hitting tilde “`” key), then type “\connect IP” (where IP is the IP number of server).
http://www.gametracker.com/search/codww/600/?page=1&sort=players&order=desc
Have fun playing!
P.S. once in server again use console to change your nick by typing “\name desired_nick”
Don’t worry about loosing your stats when you leave the game…bcs you won’t
can not connect to online service. how do i fix this problem?
sikira i’ve tried that and it works but in the menu of multiplayer i cant go to “create a class”
well…which lvl are you? you certainly CAN’T create a class if you are level 1…were you able to do that in CoD4 at lvl 1?
try getting some higher lvl’s, and see what happenes
P.S. you can allways cr8 a class once the map finnishes inside a game
ok xD thank you
Ok i think i know whats going on why you cant get profiles.
your either running a Cracked version ofthe game Being illegal or, if your running a original copy youve entered an invalid CD-Key.
What i did was this. i downloaded the Cracked copy Just to try somethink out. the Cd key i found with the files was not letting me connect and make a profile.. So i searched around and found another CD-Key, now i changed the KEY over and exited the game and the re-opened the game, clicked on profiles, and found 15 profiles with differnt names on, i clicked on a couple to test them and each one cam back say CD-Key in use on differant PC.
So if your using a downloaded Cracked/ Pirated copy, you will have these problems, and you Wont be able to make a Profile or Get online..
If you have an original copy of the Game, then double check your CD-Key, Dont ask anyone to check it out,or you’ll lose it for good and ya wont ever be able to play the game.
The CD-key i found will work to install the game, but wont let you play online even if ya able to creat a profile.
So go buy an original copy of the game like i have.
Now ive check this out and found out whats causing the problem, or think it whats causing the problem with the profile, i can now Delete it from my Spare PC, and play my origina l when it arrives this week..Was Download Was just a TEST. Illegal Game now removed.
Downloading is illegal, Dont Do it buy the original if you want to play the game..
I’m having the same exacty problem Gonzo is having post#113. I try to start the single player and it goes to the screen where it shows the “world at war” screen then it goes black for about a second then crashes to the desktop. that’s it. wont’ start for anything. I have the latest geforce driver for my 7600 gs.
For the one that cant find in xp that aplication data. u have to go to tools and unlock the invisible files . cumpz
REPEATE.. LOOK AND READ FOR BLACK SCREEN ISSUE, MAY RESOLVE CRASHING TO…
hi ok i have a solution for no:1 black screen. i get this and i was told if you can get into the game the first time, open up console and enter these 2 commands.
/r_fullscreen o
/Vid_restart
This will put you into a window box, and stopsall the black screen crapp.. you will need to go back into your game if screen is to small, select graphics and set it to your screen res, ie 1280X960 which i use, you can still play the game in nearly full screen say 95% It does stop the black screen issue then Tabbing out.
OK MY Problem is: The Profile Dont Work.
My main problem is im still not able to create a profile, even tho it tried (Dustmite of mininova) Soliution, i still get cant creat profile. as when i enter it i then get you need to create Profile to play multlyplayer and co-op mode do you want to continue, i click yes, enter profile name then back to sqare one profile cant be created.
I hope there is a fix for this i dont want to of spent £30 out on a game and cant use it, i be very annoyed.
Steve
Forget the last part about Profile issue, i have resolved it, it down to being a cracked download, i.e illegal copy.. dont play the download copy it wont work, Buy the original like i have, i only downloaded pirate copy to test out the Profile issues, ect
Here is the fix for the profile, which means it will be at default on start-up.
1. Make a map, named to your profile name.
2. Change the text in Active.txt to your profile name.
3. Set active.txt to read-only.
This will mean, that the game cannot overwrite the existing file, so it will be always your profile on startup.
@ Steve _ Tried the Console trick but still get the darn DirectX Error.
ok only other thing to do is try re-installin DirectX which is found on the CD, just goto the folder and click setup, it that fails install a older version of DirectX.. Also try updating your Video Card Drivers to.
what Error are you getting excatly.?
lol steave(#144) this is what we(or just me?) doing till now
open consol and /connect IP
but we still need the profile to play co-op…
I mean steve ^^ lol, I put tow names together, steav + steve
you can’t connect to online servers if using a Cracked copy of the game, not unless you have an original Valid Working CD-key.
Keys from the Game cracks will only get you game working as single player, you need a VALID CD-key to play OPS, and multyPlayer. you will also require the V1.1 Update to play online.
You might be lucky to find a few cracked servers around for these illegal copies of installed games, but you still need to get your profile to work first.
ok.. i just uninstalled the game and reinstalled it again with the keygen from razor… it worked, now i can play the game.. but with some serious issues… the sound of the cinematics is distorted and when i played the first level i got some major frame rate drop along with further sound and music distortions… and all the sudden, BAM! black screen and the game crashes showing me that some screen driver stopped working normally… my video card is a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS with a 1680×1050 screen… this game sucks…
well i managed to get onto a server, and play, but for some strange reason i keep getting loads of profiles showing up in my direcory, i cant connect to any legal servers, but i have manage to connect to some cracked ones.lol
For the GFX 8800GTS problem try lowing the resilution down to 1280/986 or around that type in game, maybe that might help out somewhat.
Also update ya video drivers. if they are updated and still the same then i have heard that a older Vid graphic driver may work like the one on you driver CD. try that. so in other words if a new update of video drives dont seem to work go back to theold ons on the CD
This game is disapoiting i agree. full of bugs and hard to configure, they need to get a new patch up soon to fix the profile issues.
Steve
I yust want edit man who say :
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.
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
I SAY : DO NOT DELETE ANY VIDEO. YUST RENAME “Treyarch.bik” video file to “Prayarch.bik”
Have nice play day
first i am using xp. now i figured a solution for the black screen shit that pop up during start of the game. or during loading levels :
first thing : make sure u have a profile for u. ( C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profile ) delete all folder in this profile except the active TXT file
then : make a profile with a name u love. from the active TXT delete all names then put the name you choosed for the profile then close and save.
THAT FOR THE BLACK SCREEN DURING START OF THE GAME
FOR the black screen during loading levels ( this happened to me ) you will find the level which the game crash during loading in SOLO….. MISSION SELECT … if the game is saving with you.
while i attempt to try again , i said to myself what worse if i try to press ( DEFAULT SYSTEM SETTING ) . and guse what the game was loading perfectly without no problem or any stupid crash. of course the graphic was bad but while playing i changed again to mine with no problem or any crash… from that i found the solution ( before loading level press DEFAULT SYSTEM SETTING then in the game change as you like.
I HOPE I COULD HELP ANY ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.
I think nvidia graphic drivers sucks
ppl with nvidia card just downgrade to 175.19 from 178.24.
that’s all i can say.

Brathering ” i copied my active.txt into all folders above… meaning into the profiles folder, players folder and into the CoDWaW folder… ”
this method worked for me, iam using XP SP 2
Thanks to Neil C for his solution to error #3 (see below) - this worked for me too (I’ve only got as far as loading the game - not tried playing it yet). Turned out I had a soft modem driver/app installed although not sure from where - do also have two sony ericsson there but they seem fine. Cheers, and hope this helps.
# Neil C — November 13, 2008 @ 8:44 am
I was getting error #3 and tried all fixes with no luck. Foound on another site to go to Control Panel -> Modems and remove all your modems and this worked!
I started the game stage but I can´t hear what the marines are saying. It´s a kind of Sound Problem, but it´s weird… The machine guns and other sounds are ok, only the voices are gonne. I´ve already tried the sound fix in this site but it doesn´t work. Any help would be appreciated.

i bought cod5 at gamestop and it say 1600 video thing for graphics i only have 1300 i think that is my only problem but i could be wrong can u guys help me? please im only 12 and i love cod game a have all 5 now.
I load the game up fine, starts the Treyarch video, that loads fine, I can create an account fine, then once I hit the main menu things just stop. The program stops responding and I cannot close it through task manager or ctrl-alt+delete. I have to restart my computer to get my mouse to show through again also. There is also no error message.
However if I run the game and make it freeze, then restart, then load it up again it will run fine. Although if I close the game and try and start it up again, freeze at main menu, same problem. Any help would be great, thanks.
Hey, does anybody know which folder or where the file is located in cod5 that contains ths sse instructions? I only have sse and I am sure cod5 is probaably sse-2. If someone knows where it is and how to get to it it can probably be renamed. This will probably solve the starting problems for alot of users. thanks
Hi, I got problems with select difficulty & the game didnt start at all. I go to codwaw folder, delete _codwaw,
then go to profile, delete all in ther,
then create a folder with name Force88,
then create a txt file name active.txt in profile folder,
then type Force88 inside the newly created file.
But these didnt solve the problem.
can you help me ?
Being that I’ve never experience this much anguish trying to get a game to run, I ask is this more normal than usual to see this many issues showing up? Will the Developers address these bugs?
Too bad Game Stop won’t give you a refund on opened software, only exchanges.
OK!!! You all have CoD4 i assume. for windows XP, its the EXACT SAME profile system. So make your profile in WaW look just like CoD4’s and youll be golden.
ppl, i dont know if it helps, but let me tell u that i had the profile ang black screen problems… it all went away by simply uninstalling and reinstalling the game and using the Razor Keygen when cdkey is asked.. oh, and i upgraded the NVIDIA drivers i had.. apparently, nvidia released a new driver last month… now the game works perfectly without a glitch.. but i have to test playing the game on a 1680×1050 resolution, since im playing it on 1280×960… good luck to u!
I can’t start a game. When I click on singeplayer, new game, then choose my difficulty, it just takes me back to the screen that says “new game” or “select mission”. No error messages or anything. Doesn’t even crash, it just does nothing.
Anyone else get this? I’ve googled but there are no solutions.
I originally had the water droplet error (#3). I did everything I saw here (except I had to disable my soundcard completely — the method they showed wasn’t working on my xp pro). I installed the november 2008 directx 9.0c package.
and now I get this everytime, safe mode or not:
————————————————
used 39.48 MB memory in DB alloc
Waiting for $init to finish. There may be assets missing from code_post_gfx.
Error during initialization:

thank god I try before buying.
POTATOES, read the solution given by Tom. That’s all, it worked. Thanks Tom. This game is lame.
Does anyone know how to fix lag and Server Authentication when you try to join a server?
toms solution doesnt work for me! I cant get that far! When I click on single player from the menu the menu just dissappears. The game is not recoginizing my processor, It is athlon xp 3200 with sse only, the game is sse-2 amd 64 3200.
setp server and it shows up fine in master list but when a client tries to connect they get error message “no or bad address” i disabled punkbuster from server but still get the same error - with the beta there was a patch to fix this , but i can’t find one for the retail version. can anyone help me please? my email is tlooney2@roadrunner.com - thank you.
Has anyone encountered this problem when trying to start Multiplayer, i get the message “Retrieving Account Information”…than it crashes, “unhandled exception caught” message pops up ? it keeps creating profile folder names, in the CodWaW/players/profiles folder…i have deleted them, and set the folder to read only..but to no avail..
OK, so I have been getting a few random crashes on MP. But I tried playing SOLO. And when I get to the 2nd level Resistence. I get to the point where you have to kill the first mg in the bunker, and then a bunch of enemies come out…from that point if I move up by that bunker my game freezes and my screen kind of turns into how the predator vision looks. Infared is thebest I can describe it. The sounds gets all screwed and skips too. I have a GeForce 8500 GT 512mb. Pent 4 3.2 2g Ram. I have newest directx….newest nvidia drivers. I even tried disabling my sound card and it still did it. Same spot in the game…everytime. Any ideas?
Hi guys. I had a problem that i basically dident have a profile. After some time i fixed it(btw this can be used to create a profile too, I think):
1. Go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players (Windows XP: “Users” is called “Documents and Setting”) REMEMBER: These files are HIDDEN, so you need to make em visable.
2. Delete all data in the “players” folder exept active.txt(if you dont have it, create one).
3. Make a folder with your wanted Profile name.
4. Then, and this is the important part!!, type your profile name in the active.txt file and save it!
5. Start the game and your profile name should be in the top right corner
Call.of.Duty.World.at.War.Full-Rip.Skullptura is a very good
but i have 1 problem can i play it online(not just co-op, i mean i can play in other server like other players)?
after i install the patch 1.1 for the game……and then when i start the game it says “insert correct DVD-ROM”
I finally got the game running Fullscreen at 1680×1050. I had been using the most recent WHQL Nvidia drv. and saw where someone posted they had the game running by installing Nvidia drv. 175.16 _ I just tried it, and in Solo and Multiplayer was able to do 4 different maps with no Black Screen crashes or the DirectX Encountered an Unrecoverable Error meaasge.
My fingers are crossed for the time being.
activision needs to get it’s shit together. It pisses me off they are making money off of this
Hello. I am writing this post because I have a problem that is really making me go mad. I installed the patch 1.1 for COD 5 and whenever I enter the multiplayer mode it crashes right away. shows “retrieving accounts information” for 2 secs, and… crashes.
I managed to start again the mp mode, after googling a while I found out that by deleting the player profiles in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players I could start it again. But the problem is that this way I have to start ranking-up again each time I play, because the next time I start the game I have to delete the profiles again, otherwise it will just crash again :/
Anyone here who has had this problem and can eventually help me out?
My game keeps crashing when loading “eviction” level. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Everything plays well up to this point in the game. I have to restart my pc after this crash
please help

Try the Nvidia drv. 175.16. It has solved all my issues with Black Screen and DirectX errors.
This is with WinXP 32bit sp3
I get a strange error. When I go to the Solo section, select a difficulty, such as Veteran, it just does nothing…
If I go to Select Level, chose the first level then click on the difficulty, it just closes the difficulty selection screen and I am back to square one.
I have updated my graphic drivers, direct x.
I am using Skullptura’s version and I’m getting the crash right after the intro for the 3rd misson. I’m getting this error message “Direct3DDevice9::Present failed:Driver internal error” DirectX and my drivers are all up to date. Please Help!
guys, the profile problem is easy to handle if you do the filing right, just follow tom s instructions. but problem is videos with me. i guess its because i have a realtek on board sound card, do you know if there’s any way to work it out without changing my sound card?
oguzhan, I did follow the instructions, and believe me, I still have a problem. after I do everithing that is on the instructionsm I start a new game, play, and exit. when I enter the game again it crashes. and I have to delete the profile again to play again. I cant keep my profile!
For those with Windows XP and onboard Realtek sound
If you have the “Unhandled exception caught” and your game
crashes when starting up. Remove all modems from device
manager. I removed my modem years ago so I did not think
I had one, but then I went to control panel/add remove
programs and to my surprise I found “Agere Soft Modem”
I removed it and the game started for my. I still had
to do the profile fix to get the game working.
I’m having problems with the Profile, and I’ve tried to do the common solution, C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players
So I follow to directory but after clicking on my name, I cannot find the AppData and in Users, there are Administrator, (My name), and Public. And there are nothing in Admin file and public just has… files. Anyone help me out please?
@ed_jpa
man, that’s uncommon, i dont have any idea why it’d do that but i’ll look it up.
@kana007
is modem erasing only fixes the unhandled something problem - which is for multiplayer - or does it fix the videos of singleplayer too?
@justin
Are you using xp or vista?
solved it. apparently, I do not need a folder with my name. instead I just need a folder named $$$ where the progress is saved, the active.txt with user name in it, and thats all. now it works. every time I run the mp mode it asks me to create a profile, but I just cancel it and the progress of the last times I played is still there, even though on the top right of the screen no profile name appears. then all I had to do was to go to the options and put there the name I wanna use. Now I have game progress saved and my username, and it doesnt crash anymore ^^
Justin, if u use vista, just press alt for the usual top windows menus appear, go to folder options and make the hidden folders visible. that way you will find that directory.
thx for the attention, all
I play and only at 14-20 fps although I use vga HD3850.
I reduce setting of graphic (every setting possible), still 14-20fps. I don’t know why!!! Please help me!
Sorry for my bad english (maybe I make mistake in grammar)
Bloody hell… Activision launches a beta without any QA or something. What a load os errors and crashes… even to the people that have the original game.
OGUZHAN, I have a realtek onboard sound card too. The movies works fine, but I have the “no voices problem” in the middle of the game. I updated my sound drivers, nothing. I checked the DirectX, all fine. I do the audio troubleshooter and still got the problem. I don´t think it´s because of ours onboard sound card, it´s just this crap game. Everything else works full on my machine, even Far Cry 2. If I got any effective solution I´ll post it here.
Punkbuster kick me but the reason is Disallowed Program/Driver [80251]. i try everything new driver nvidia, dx, i have install sophos nothing!!
Any solution? plzzz help me!
has anyone solved the problem with the whole computer crash needing to restart because the game freezes while loading eviction stage as mentioned in comments 23,103,106,137,193?
I have the same problem & have everything up to date and installed correctly & have ejoyed the game so far but this prblem doesnt seem to be solved anywhere that i can find yet . can anyone help pleeeeeeeeease
i have a problem with my call od duty 5, when i try to open the single player game mode from my desctop item(or any other way to open the file) it opens up a erctangular blax box saying “call of duty world at war” then the screen goes black (like its opening it) and zooms on the top left hand corner of my desctop with the small black box (no filling) in the bottem right. then it closes the aplication. then i tried to play the multiplayer but the same thing happend. so i took my friends advise and uninstalled it and reinstalled COD5 but it still wont work (same thing happend)
HELP ME!!
Im also having the same problem as comments (21,31,71,136)
“at the first mission of the game it was all fine
but i noticed that when i reached the second level
everyones voices dissapeared
i can see them moving their lips and talking
but i dont hear any voices”
Is there a solution to this sound problem?
Regarding the Eviction crash (23,103,106,137,193, 207): It appears to be an outdated video card driver issue. I finally found the correct update (no thanks to NVidia and Asus), and after installing it and restarting, the problem went away (all level load times sped up drastically, too).
The driver I am using is for an NVidia GeForce 8600M GT, and related cards. If you’ve ever tried to update drivers for that card, you know it makes you want to shoot yourself. The driver (version 176.28) can be found here:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/xp/176.28
If your graphics card is listed there, download the new driver, unzip it, and install it. If the included installer program doesn’t work:
1. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Display Adapters, and double click on your card.
2. Switch to the “Driver” tab, and click “Update Driver”.
3. Tell it to “install from a specific location” and click next
4. Check the box that says “Include this location in the search”, then select the folder where you extracted the zip file to.
5. Hit next, and it should update. Hope this helps.
If you open the game, it displays a box and changes your desktop resolution, then stops and returns to the normal desktop (208 and related comments), and you are running XP:
1. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Sound, video, and game controllers.
2. Right click on “Unimodem Half-Duplex Device” and select “Disable”.
3. A little red x should appear over the device icon. Close all the windows, and the game *should* work. Good luck.
@KEZARUS
Thanks man, i’ll do the same if i find anythin out
Can’t start either sp or mp. When i start SP it just gives me black flashes and goes back to desktop, mp gives me a blackscreen then a error and kicks me back to desktop.

I reduce setting of graphic (every setting possible), still 14-20fps. I don’t know why!!! Please help me!
Sorry for my bad english (maybe I make mistake in grammar)
anhtu214 I have the same problem as you. THE COD game WOW my frame rate is very low / tested with several drivers and nothing, but this only happens in singleplayer
in multiplayer my frame rate is smooth perhaps because it does not fill a crack ··· reloaded·····

Hi.
I’m using XP. I had the “Unhandled exception caught” error and the game crashed when starting up. I hadn’t any “Unimodem Half-Duplex Device” to disabled and changing sound setting didn’t help either.
But then I read somewhere to try to install DirectX from DVD. As I hadn’t done it when I installed the game I gave it a try. And guess what?? The game’s working now.
@oguzhan I’m using Vista
Those who are having Profile problems and problems with finding profle files, go to comment 187 and the answer should be there. REMEMBER the profile files are HIDDEN, so you need to “un-hide” them. This is done(noobie Guide):
1. Go to “My computer”
2. Then “Tools”
3. Then “Folder options” or likewise(i have the swedish xp version)
4. Then the second tab, probably named “Visability” or like that
5. Then under “Hidden files and folders” select, “Show hidden Files and folders”
Then you should be able to find the Profle file
Call of Duty World at War 1st mission problem.
I went to the point where the team must reach to extraction point, where I have to puncture a fuel barrel in a truck. After puncturing the barrel there’s a sound of the truck moving and couple of trucks in the enemy camp ahead blows up. But, actually, the truck hasn’t moved and the gates are still closed. I can’t get beyond that point even if I killed all the enemies.
@ Oxydie
The problem I’m having is that I can’t get past the directory of Username. Even if I do go into the user created file, there’s no file called Appdata. And I’m using Vista.

I had an issue where my game would crash to desktop or just plain freeze to where i had to task manager out to get back to my desktop. I have seem to narrow down the possible problem since i have not had a crash in about 3 hours of play. It seems that the game does not like SLI configuration.I downloaded the 180 drivers for vista 64 and tried everything. I finally decided to turn off SLI and set the game options to single card. I have had no problems yet after 3 hours of play when i could even play 4 minutes before. And yes i did download the patch for the game that is SUPPOSSED to improve SLI support. What a joke that was

I have a XFX 8500GT card and i updated my FGX Drivers, and installed the DX from the Game, and im having no problems whats so ever.
Try uninstalling the GFX Drivers and then put you old ones on from the CD, then install DirectX 9.0C then try, if that Fails then try
updating the Graphics card Drivers to the new ones, then try again, if that fails then i have no other options to give to you..
i have a Due-core 4800+ processor, 2-gig OCZ memory, 8500GT GFX card.. CODs runing ok for me.

I’m getting the same problem as Gonzo and Thallium with the black screen. This is DIFFERENT than the never ending black screen. I believe in that case you’re getting to the game menu screen or some other screen but the problem we’re having is the game crashes before any screen starts except the title briefly shows then the black screen for a second or two then it flickers then gone. The solution above with the path C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profile
I don’t have that. I have:
C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War
with an executable icon CoDWaW but no folder by that name. I’ve tried creating & inserting the profile info into both that icon executable (can’t do it) and into the folder where that file resides and I’m having no luck. Any thoughts?
I have just found another problem with the game crashing at start up. If anyone is having this problem where the game gives you a stopped working error and sends back to desktop, check your audio drivers or version. I have the latest EVGA audio drivers for a 790i FTW mobo. When those speakers are engaged my game will not load and crashs to desktop right off the bat. If i plug my logitech headset in and set that to default speakers the game runs fine. Hopefully this will help peoeple who cant start the game right form the begging
Fucking morons, I DONT HAVE A UNI-DUPLEX MODEM AUDIO DEVICE IN MY DEVICE MANAGER. Fucking tards.

I have the problem with the difficulty selection thing, It just repeats itself, so how? I am running Windows XP2
does anyone have any info about which file in cod5 possibly uses sse instructions?
I have the problem with the difficulty selection thing, It just repeats itself
still having problems with the profile creation. I’ve read and tried all these posts and still nothing. Anyone that bought a legit copy have the same problem? I have a legit key, but i d/led the game.
I wish I could get to the difficulty!!!THAT WOULD BE ALOT FURTHER THAT i AM NOW!!
We shouldn’t have to disable shit, even if we HAD shit to disable (which most of us don’t). With a shitpile of problems like this, they should have had a proper patch released by last night. I bet they probably aren’t working on it beyond how to reroute their complaint traffic. Activision is on their way to becoming the next EA
asstards.
I couldnt agree more! I could run this game but it is a piece of crap!
hey guys, well, for me everyting works fine, i playd the game the first 6 missions, and then i just stopped playing,
i restarted the game the next day, to play some more, and i saw that all my missions were gone, just gone like i never played.
so thats fuckd up, so i wanted to start the first mission again and when i click on the mission its ok, then comes the difficulty selection, and when i choose the difficulty nothing happens, it pops back to the mission select screen.
so its like i cant play my game anymore now, when i select a mission nothing happens, very strange, i tried resetting, and deleting all the files like you guys explained in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players
the strange thing is i never found a active.txt in it
so what should i do ?
It looks to me like you can join the club with the rest of us who cant play the game! Maybe one of these guys will come up with a real fix for us all.
yes man omfg, this is so fuckd up,
cod5 is so buggy
and how come i played the game before and now it doesnt work then LOL
this is some strange shit
hi,
when i klick on select online profiles the screen gets black and it gives an error. i had no problems with the beta version. i instaled all new drivers for my vga and directx but don’t know why i get the error. pls help =)
Treyarch? Activision?Maybe the devil? Who knows?
…Can anyone help me with my problem? -_-
Treyarch? Activision? Maybe the devil? Who knows? Anyway again does anyone know which files in cod5 might have sse instruction?
HELLO!!!!!
CoDWaW XAudio2_0.dll tis is my message when i get kiked back to my desktop !
anyone knows this bug ?
Thats a new one! I believe the devil did make this game!
FOR ( Def_Con_1 ):
First the path you mentioned is the path where you already installed the game. but i and the guys mean the path where the game SAVE setting and game play levels which is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profile
it may be hidden so you should do ( show hidden files )
yeah i have done that before !
For those who have a problem of selecting the difficulty and the game repeat it self. i think the main solution is to CREATE A PROFILE . and i mentioned above before
Someone help me get past “eviction” level. It crashes my computer while loading. Btw the game is poorly optimized and laggy even with all settings set to low and on 800×600

“SELECT DIFFICULT” PROBLEM PEOPLE
Hi guys, I will try to help. I got the same damn problem and it was solved this way
1: VISTA -> go to C:\Users\[yourname]\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
XP -> go to C:\Documents and Setting\[yourname]\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
2.1: Delete __CoDWaWmp
// OR //
2.2 Rename the profile directory inside the players directory
3: Go to players\profiles and delete all the player profiles here (except active.txt)
Substitute the [yourname] by your user name in the machine. The same thing was said above. I had to try this solution a couple of times. It didn´t work at the first shot. Only by renaming the profile it works. But now I have other problem with the voices…
I hope it helped.
oh god! someone must know how to fix low fps with every setting! Please help me! Is there any crack other than reload’s one?
anyone trying to select a difficulty and finding it reverting back to the menu, you need to have a firewall installed to block the game from trying to connect to the internet. this will fix for anyone using RELOADED copy of COD5

Ive seen a few ppl on here with same problem but havent seen much of a solution yet. I tried reinstalling direct x an such but nothing.
The game keeps on freezing when i load “EVICTION” on sollo and crashes and freezes my entire system when i try it on Coop. And it only does it on “EVICTION”. PLS HELP NOW!!!!!!

I´ve installed the Skullptura version, and i cant find the C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players path because i installed with a *.BAT extension file in a directory that i chose.
Can someone helpme , particulary because i have a diferent version of the game´s installer pliz???
Thx a lot
ok see the problem with #187 is that i do everything but a random folder called “$$$” keeps popping up everytime i start the game which doesn’t make my profile. my name in the active.txt also gets replaced with $$$. the game doesn’t allow $$$ as a profile name so it just doesn’t do anythiing. i cant stop this folder from coming so #187 is worthless even if you follow it word by word. the folder just keeps popping up and i can’t stop it. any ideas anyone?
Everyone with Eviction problem:
I have already mentioned a solution on post 210; it is an outdated graphics card driver problem.
If your video card is not in the list given on that link, try searching for the latest version for your card here:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers
ARMAND
I have the same version as you do: Skullptura´s rip to install via bat file. I found the path in my PC without a problem. Pay attention to your folder configuration if the option “Hide protected archives from Operational System” [something like that in english] are unchecked.
If so, and you still doesn´t find the files, tell me. I´ll try to search for something else. The Skullptura´s version works fine for me, except by the voice problem…
HERE IS THE FIX FOR THE WATER DROPLET CRAP #3 -XP USERS-
I AM USING REALTEK HD AUDIO DRIVERS AND KEPT GETTING THAT
THIS IS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO….
CONTROL PANEL, PHONE AND MODEMS, CLICK THE MODEMS TAB, DELETE ANY AND ALL MODEMS LISTED ON THAT TAB. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU NEED IT ANYWAY?
DID THAT AND IT WORKS PERFECT NOW. THANKS GUYS.
oh great.. now i cant connect to MP online.. it always appears “awaiting connection..1..2..3..4..5 server connection timed out” i’ve tried a lot of servers.. how do i fix this? thanks
Again..not all of us have a freaking modem combo with our realtek drivers. I wound up getting the skulltula version which has a lame ass batch file to install it (can’t anything be straightforward? This game is a pain enough out of the box). The skulltula release makes you have to edit the bat file in 20 thousand different places if you want to install the piece of bloat to somewhere other than your root drive, AND it assumes we’re all lame enough to want to play games on Vista. so this is going to be the 4th time i have to re-DL the son of a bitch which I’ll have to just sit on until there’s a working patch from ACTiViSiOn.
I tried to disable SLI as Bull mentioned on #226 but I still crash out in MP during a map change.
Hey all . i have some hmm , problems . i play may be 18 hours, then there was some error ,i reinstall the game but i cannot load my save games . any help … plz
Hi all,
I’m having a problem with running COD5.
When I’m choosing Single Player/Co-opp, I click it, and then the screen goes black for about one second,then it adjusts, and then an error comes up saying: ‘Call Of Duty(R): World At War Campaign/Coop has stopped working’. After that the only option is to close the program. I’ve tried uninstalling COD and then reinstalling it, with no luck. I’ve looked on the support from Activision, also with no luck of a fix. Does any one know of what I can do?? I’ve never seen the main menu of the game.
Thanks for your time,
EKP
Same problem!
i have a very strange problem …
the main menu works fine but when i want to play the game it freezes at the first demo ( after the icon of PVT.Miller and the line Japanese territory ) and then i get the blue screen !
anybody knows how can i fix it !?
I open COD 5 and after few seconds it shows this up: Call of Duty(R): World at War Campaign/Coop has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Here’s another error/crash to fix. Thanks.
For the people who already changed the profile name.
but the ( create online profile ) keep poping :
that because the game may overwrite what you do.
the solution is to do the same steps as mentioned before but after changing the TEXT file……. from options make this file ( READ ONLY ) . to stop the game from over write what you did.
Does anyone know how to solve this sound problem,
you can’t hear the voices of the men, you see there lips moving but no sound. All other sounds work within the mission apart from the voices of the soldiers…
It makes game-play crap, anyone have a solution?
Is the patch worth installing? Will it fix my problem? Refer to #278
Thanks EKP

Ok I have a problem:
I’ve kind of tried all the solutions from the above posts, deleting the players folder etc.
The problem is that when i start the game it won’t even ask me to create a profile anymore(i heard you can play online if you cancel the part when it asks you to create a profile and then just set your name in Multiplayer options).
So how to make my game ask me to create a profile?
Or why can’t I set my name in multiplayer options, the only thing i can set there is a clan tag. (PS: /name command doesn’t work either, i’m still Unnamed Player or whatever.)
Also i tried making a profile manually thru “players” folder, i can play it with this profile only once, when i exit the game and start it again, the game just crashes when it tries to load a profile that was already made. So with this method you must reset your level and xp every time you start the game which is shit.
All help is appreciated.

I HAVE THE NO SOUND PROBLEM NOW AND DUNNO WAT TO DO … SOME1 HELP PLEASE
Hi, i havent seen my problem in this list or at the top of the page. Its a genuine version, it installed correctly, the main screen is smooth etc but when i get in game CPU goes 100% and sometimes, at different times it locks my machine up and i have to press the restart button. Played it online twice so far and both times i comes up with a physical memory dump.
My system is:
- Vista OS
- 3Ghz P4
- 2.5Gb RAM
- Radieon x1950
Please help me, this is driving me nuts!
SD88K:
I had no problems installing it without the modded .inf file. I’m not sure what you have to do if the method I described in post 210 doesn’t work for you. I guess you could try one of the other drivers that does have it available:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers
when ever i try to play single player and start the first level it crashes my whole PC and i can’t find the __CoDWaWmp
file (i use XP)
After much work it finaly works!
Disabling the modem didn’t do the trick, I had to uninstall it from the add/remove in the controlpanel.
Thanks a lot!
I have a PS3. I only play online. The first day I bought it it worked fine no problems. However, the last couple of days I can get into the game and play one game then after the first game it gets stuck on a loading screen and I can no longer play. I try to shut down the playstaion but it never turns off. Then i flip the switch in the back and restart it. Then the playstation says there is a start up error when I try to restart the game. After about an hour i can then go back and play the game but always freezes after the first game. Its not the game because I took it to afriends house and it worked fine. I am sending it to playstaion on monday but if I can find a solution that would be nice.
THE NO SOUND PROBLEM !!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
cant hear voices. can someone help please?

when i play in game, the screen is only in black & white, and theres no colour
any idea ?
xbox360 consule - when installing patch which is required before you start the game for the first time, xbox got hung up. when only playing game either freezes or i get a green screen within 4 min of play and xbox locks up. on all other games the system is fine just this game. i took the game back and got a new one. still the same problem.
My guess - the patch is corrupted.
does anyone know what could be causing this problem?
I’m thinking about reinstalling the patch but don’t know how to remove the old one.
also, Infinity Ward is in the second story of the building where i work, i may just ask them for help.

Profile problem here. My buddy has the disc and installed it. Bought a cd key, but he can’t create a profile. We are working on all the possible solutions listed here, but I wanted to get this in here in case someone else is working under similar conditions.

I get this error in windows vista ultimate
“Call of Duty(R): World at War Multiplayer has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows
will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
has anyone found out how to fix this yet? This is really frustrating I bought this game today and haven’t even gotten to the main screen yet.
hi,
i get this error “display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has succesfully recovered”
in sp, every 5mins or so the screen goes black, sound loops, hangs up, then goes back to normal, if i alt tab i see that driver error above, i run vista 64 bit and have used all sorts of diff drivers 178.24/175.19/169.25/omega and still get this dam annoying problem, any suggetsions?
cheers.
Ok in my profiles i do not have an ative.txt file. In the CoDWaW folder i have profiles,__CoDWaWmp and aservercache.
The profiles area is and always has been blank. I tried making a txt folder naming it active.txt, placing my username inside the txt,saving then making a folder with the same name i placed inside the txt file. Same junk not starting game and not letting me create a profile. Is there a place i can just download the profile info? this is really getting me mad.
my call of duty stays black for a few minutes then finally loads. I put the unleashed unlocker as instructions said but it would not work. Finally i think i figured it out. I noticed that when game starts it connects to internet and wants you to make a username. So first i put Unleashed unlocker as instructions said then i disconnected internet and when game starts it said it could not connect to internet. I continued and there were all the levels open. I also had the crashing problem while starting game with a error a few times before and disconnecting internet solved that problem also.I believe that when game start since it wants you to make a username it does not load the username that you have saved in profiles. Hope this helps.
I tried every possible thing on this forum. I cant start the game. I have been blocking the game since start. I am trying game with reloaded copy. It would be nice if someone could just make a profile fix.
Hi, i have a problem with my multiplayer option. I go on Multiplayed and then go to Find Game and it shows a number of severs (around like 20…) and all the servers names are either WaWHost or sumthign like that and other one servers are called Download the Patch. I already downloaded the new patch and i cant play online, i really want to play online could someone please tell me any hints or tips on how fixing this problem Thank You.
——————————————–
New game fix. where you cant start a game it just keeps going back.
FIX————-
goto gamecopyworld.com and look up the call of duty WaW then download –Call of Duty: World at War UNLOCKER–
It is just a save game that unlocks the game. Thats it guys. Dont waste your time screwing around with folders and renaming them. Just download the file and copy/paste it to the profiles folder. The appdata folder might be locked so youll have to go into folder options for XP and select show all hidden files.(if you havent already been in there like myself. it is simple as that.
John , what error do you get when game starts?
I got the unleashed profile from gamecopyworld.com.
it unlocks all the levels.it gives you instructions on how to put it also.
Btw, for you guys with the “Black Screen” problem all u have to do is Alt+Tab out of the game then Alt+tab back into it and once it goes back to the black screeen press Esc and the menu should pop up right away or after like 5 seconds or so… if this doesnt work then ur Video Card is under the requirment cuz mine was and i got a new one 2dai and im able to play but Solo really lags for me and multiplayer isn’t working either… as i said in my previous forum, most of the servers are name “download the patch” or “WaWhost” or something similar to that so please help me and tell me if my solution helped u Thx!
Btw John where can i find the profiles folder? lol i cant find it can u please tell me step by step how to get there? i looked everywhere btw im using Windows XP Home Edition. Thx.
The profiles folder is i /C/Documents and settings/username
There are two folders there , one is Application Data and in it it will have the Activision folder where your profile folder will be. The other is in Local Settings/Application Data, the activion folder is in there also. I put the Unleashed profile on both of these folders.
Most importantly to be able to view these folders you need to unhide the folders to be able to see them.
In case you dont know how all you have to do is when you go to C/Documents and settings/username (your username, mine just says hp administrator)and open that folder, on top click on tools then folder options, then view, then look down the list and check the box that says show hidden files and folders. Then you will be able to see the Application Data folder and the Local settings Folder.

help i just bought it today
and i have windows xp and COD world at war
To #186, the problem is that your Graphics Card is the limit for playing Call Of Duty: World At War. Due to this your card generates lots of heat which causes the textures and images to appear distorted and ‘Colorful Infrared’ like you said. If you cannot afford to buy another Video Card, buy a cooler fan and adjust it directly on your card it will decrease the heat by a few degrees which can drastically improve your issue.
Guys… anyone kno how i can fix my Multiplayer issue? Ill say it again xD, i load up WaW then click Multiplayer, it goes in the menu then when i press Find Game it shows about 20 servers with the name or WaWhost or something similar to it and another name of a server is called Download the Patch… i already downloaded the patch im pretty sure even if i try to download it again it says i already downloaded it lol… can someone please help me. And also in Co-op Campaing when i click find game and go in a room it kicks me out after like… 5 seconds and says not hosting anymore… and even if its like 2/4 i try to join but nothing happens not even a screeen appears can someone please help me Thx (ASAP) also my Solo is lagging like mad… i dont kno why
Btw, just my Video card~~ My video card is called Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3650 with 512 MB, im pretty sure it passed the requirments….
By the wat still same as my old post (302) i don’t have players folder in activision even though i founded it from “C:Document’s and settings/your name/local settings/app data/activision. Ill try the folder thing now.
as #347 said d.l unlocked but no guide as of where to paste and i tried a few places.same thing happens.unable to start new game.it just keep repeating to choose level
Like i sayd in post (359) i tried the folder thing but when i deleted the folders and tried the game i didn’t work any better and the deleted folders are pack and running.
unlocker didn’t work either.
this game is not worth the while, trust me. play dead space, or fallout 3. i worked my ass off to get it work, then finally i got it, and it is not a modern warfare, it is nowhere close to it. i mean dont get me wrong, sure i knew it was a WW2 game again, but my expectations from the general performence were different, and turned out it’s just another average WW2 game with some technique and scenario copied from modern warfare.
ERROR: Could not find zone ‘C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War Beta\zone\english\code_post_gfx.ff’
my friend managed to help me. but that comes up after the installation when i try to open the game for the first time? i re-installed and it keeps coming up? what do i do ?
i can play solo without any problem but when i try to play online i get the message go to calllofduty.com/update i have installed the 1.1 patch but when i look in the game it says i have 1.0.8xxx and when i try to install the patch again i get an error “setup has detected you already have call of duty world at war 1.1 installed” but i have not.
how to fix???
GUYS, IF YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH DIRECTX AND HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED IT. IT IS NOT THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS, DO NOT UPDATE TO THE LATEST DRIVERS, USE THE DRIVERS THAT ARE COMPATIABLE WITH YOUR CARD, IN MY INSTANCE I HAVE A 8800 GTS XFX BRAND I USED THE LATEST AND THEY CAUSED ALL SORTS OF GRAPHICS PROBLEMS AND CRASHES, SO I UNINSTALLED THEM AND RAN DRIVESWEEPER AT SAFEMODE AND REINSTALLED THE 175.16 DRIVERS. WORKS THE BEST GRAPHICS AND NO MORE CRASHES, SO WHEN SOMEONE SAYS TO USE THE LATEST DRIVERS, DONT. USE THE DRIVERS THAT ARE COMPATIABLE WITH YOUR GRAPHICS CARD.
IT TOOK ME HOURS OF STUFFING AROUND TO WORK THIS OUT. ENJOY THE GAME.
I haven’t updated them the broplem is this “cannot connect to internet service” and the issue “cannot create online profile”
and the saving broplems too. did forget to mention something?
I had ALL the problems mentioned above… All!!! But guess what? I fixed ‘em all!!!! Very simple and very easy:
JUST UNINSTALL THE GAME, THEN DELETE EVERY FUCKIN FILE RELATED TO THIS FUCKING SHIT OF A GAME AND VOILA!!
«««—VERY IMPORTANT—-»»»
1) IF YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL GAME, TAKE THE DVD, PUT IT IN A METAL SECURE RECIPIENT; POUR SOME ALCHOOL ON IT ; THEN LIGHT IT… LET IT BURN TO A CRISP!
2) IF YOU HAVE THE DOWNLOADED COPY; DELETE IT; DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN JUST TO DELETE IT AGAIN THEN FORMAT YOUR HOLE FUCKIN PC…
Very simple and efficient… and if you want a bonus just put up a post at Activision telling them to FUCK OFF AND DIE!!!!
Over and completely out.
you do know that this is made by “treyarch” and sponsored by activision (atleast i think so). Sure i do it as fast as you give me 60€ in paypal.
For “Call of duty has encountered a problem and needs to be close. we are sorry for the inconvenience” is that you need Pixel and Vertex shader v.3.0 I think

ok guys i have the solution to make the singleplayer work
if you have a problem when you want to click on difficulty and it just pops back the screen, just do this
go to : C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
and delete everything.
then you make a folder called profiles; in that you make a folder called your username for example : QWERTY ; in that folder you make a .txt file called active; and in that .txtfile you type again QWERTY, save it.
again go : C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
make a folder called players, in that folder; make a folder called profiles (yes*again) in that folder you only place the .txt file active with your username in it.
now the trick is, you need to place the active.txt file in every folder in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW ( i know sounds silly but just do it )
so you need to have like 2 folders, called players and profiles, and in the folder players there is a folder called profiles again, np, then you just copy the active.txt into all folders.
when you have done that you probally can choose a acount, or yours, and start the game.
if you have problems with the missions crashing just do this :
first of all, you need to play the missions with the console
i will give you a list of all the level names in singleplayer
sniper
see2
pel2
pel1b
pel1a
pel1
pby_fly
patch
outro
oki3
oki2
ber3b
ber3
ber2
ber1
ok enable the console in the game, and if you are stuck in a mission, like what happend at mine at mission 7.
just bring up the console by typing ~ and you type sv_cheats 1, then you type devmap mak ( first level ) or devmap see2 ( mission
the problem is that if you type like map or mp_…
it wont load the sp mission, so you need this shortcuts names of the missions.
uhm, ye so when you are stuck on a level, just try to find the next mission so you wont miss to much.
if you want to find the mission names you can go to your cod5 game folder and look in the folder zone and then in the folder english, in there you find some .cfg files, with the names of the missions, so you can load, them, i tried to find the mission names on the internet, and nobody got them this is the only way to make it work, i hope i helpd you guys out, it works for me and i playd call of duty5, and its a great game really, just full of fucking bugs.
Can any body please upload the highly compressed working iso of cod 5
please
Looking at all the problems with COD5. I think it would be better to buy it from the shop.
Are there any problems with a legal copy of COD5?
This error is for solo campagin and i get two diff errors on 2 diff pcs :s.
on one, the game takes AGES literally 5 minutes to load a new screen, and when i load the first solo mission its a little jumpy and feels like its in slow mo, makes it unplayable, its horrible :s. on another pc i got the the solo mission burn ‘em out, i think its mission 5 or 6, and it gets around a quater done loading then i get a small black screen in the top left, takes up about on quater or the screen, then i get on error message, a small then bar on top of a big message with many many words, saying something about pil1e/pille or something,the screen looks exactly like the screen that comes up on the desktop when you host your own cod4 server, just different words. Help much?
I have the same problem as #285 and #316; i don’t have voices during the game, it kinda sucks…
Thanks to anyone who could help us !
Mark at #353. . I ran in circles for a while too. You need to call in air support via the radio if I recall correctly. Look out window and press number 6 or 7 until your radio pops up, then point at enemy unit and fire.
Hello. My problem is when the main menu should pop-up. The video in the beginning plays fine, but when the main menu should appear, it’s just all “blurry”. It’s impossible to tell what button I should click in the main menu.
I’m running vista 64, when I launch the game I get the error fast file for zone ‘code_post_gfx.ff’ is corrupt or unreadable. I’m sure I’ve ran COD4 also and it did exactly the same or very similar. Is there no 64bit fix for us must be very few.
how can i run this game with AND ATHLON XP
PLEASE i want an advie
Problem with the voices from the 2nd level onwards.
Any solution to this?

Dear billy boy i have a retail version of this game and i have the broplems posted on my latest post.
I have these dark areas in the sky on some maps, especially in maps with a lot of foliage and plants. I tried updating to the most recent graphics drivers, but to no avail. I then switched to the gamaguru beta drivers, but that didn’t resolve the issue either.
Same problem as #64, #110, #118, #129, #171, #281 #283 #287 #292.

I think this may have something to do with having an old cpu because I can’t play farcry 2 because my anthlon xp 2500 barton is not supported. which is dumb because with my hd2600 xt i can play call of duty 4 great.
Is anyone with an old (amd)cpu able to play?
I deleted Treyarch.bik. Now this happens: when I go to Solo and click New game, it asks which difficulty I want to play on, I select Regular, the music stops and the game freezes.
My friend has 2.8 GHz and when you go to the system requirments lab and he passes the speed and it says 5.06GHz is there a wayy of getting above 3.0 GHz cuz i dont think they make 3GHz or above. Btw my processor speed is 2.4GHz and everything else is perfect will this ruin my gameplay??? Please reply to this asap Thank You.!
People with the problem with the flashing black screen at start -up,where it crashes back to desktop, the solution thats sorks for me is going first to controll panel, phone and modems, go to modems tab and delete anything in there.
Worked perfect for me.Hope it works for you.
Flido, it’s alright if your cpu is at 2.4Ghz, still should run fine, mine is the same; AMD processor Athnlon 64 3400+. Out dated, damn I need anew comp. :p
Ok guys, I just gave up on the making a online proflie so I just connect to a IP directly.
But I did make an Offline profile so will I be able to unlock guns and get xp and do challenges?
I actually have a new problem with CODWaW. My issue is that when I finally connect to a server, I can play for like 2-3 maps in full. When the 4th map comes up it says “cannot connect” or something along those lines. When my cursor passes over the menu buttons at the main screen, the sounds that usually are there are now there x 1,000. What I mean is when I pass my cursor over the buttons (AFTER getting booted from my 3 maps worth of gaming) I have an unlimited click sound when it goes over the buttons. I have also noticed that I cannot connect to any server without restarting the game. Restarting the game gets rid of the sound problem and server problem so long as I don’t hit the “refresh” button. Anyone else in this odd predicament? I think Activision will be pumping out some more patches VERY soon. Stupid stupid stupid.
Yoo Bass-A i have the same problem, when i move my mouse over the menu in multiplayer in the menu and just keep my mouse on it without clicking, it makes a clicking noise x1000 its sooo annoying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Btw OdinX i have a ATI Radeon HD3650 and everything is perfect except my GHZ which is 2.4 off by 0.6 and in SOlo and multiplayer its LAGGY like first in Multiplayer its ok for like 1 minute or so then gets laggy as fkk and hard to play.. sometimes it even starts to be laggy right away… i dont understand i bought this game and now i cant even play it properly in CoD4 i own.. like zomgg lol… could someone please tell me wat to do? i also downloaded the l8test DirectX and have a good Video Card… 2gb RAM i unnno… i really want the lag to stop please help Thx!
Hi,
I just finished the game, despite the problems.
I had both the logon/username problem, the black screen, and a few other things.
Regarding the logon problem, you need to go to the AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players folder and delete all the folders. Now in that folder, or the one above it, will be some small text file. Delete it also - if you look, it just has two ascii characters. At least, my install had such a file, and deleting it allowed me to set up my own profile.
As to the black screen, I got it between levels (I’d hear audio but no video) and after quiting/saving. If it happened between levels, then eventually the new level would start normally. As to quitting, alt-tab did the trick. The videos WOULD PLAY on start up of a new level as long as I entered from the main screen.
I also had the game dump all my saves in the middle of a level. I got some file error, and surprise, after 12 levels, all progress was missing.
IT DID ALLOW ME TO RESTART that level, which was strange, and when I finished it and saved I had my progress file restored.
To be honest, this game wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either. We’ve played it before. We’ve done the tank thing, and been at the Reichtstag. The Japanese levels were brutal, but they were also too linear. Just be forewarned… I’m not sure the experience is worth the trouble of all these bugs.
btw each time i play Solo or Multiplayer, in Multiplayer it shows the map im playing but the loading bar isnt filling up… after like 2 minutes the game just starts and in Solo im waiting for the loading bar which isnt moving just at 0% and doesnt show the map all i see is a line at the bottom middle of my screen and again… wait like 2-5 minutes then the game starts (says click to start mission) aand the game for both Multi and solo end up laggy… please help

is anyone having problems updating to the 1.1 patch? I have the retail copy of the game and ive re-downloaded and installed the 1.1 patch so I can play multi player but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything. If I install the patch and then try to do it again, it says something like “Patch 1.1 is already detected on your computer” but in the game it says “1.0.8″ or something like that.
Any ideas??
re #381- someone! I have a athlon 3200 And I cant start the game either! I have been trying to find someone who knows about the files that contain sse. I am almost 100% sure that they will be sse-1 or 2. Athlon xp is sse only! those files can probably be over written allowing the athlon xp to play the game. I had this same problem with cod4. If you find out let me know! thanks, swag
Leon in multiplayer go to Filter and make sure Dedicated is turned on then try playing
I’m using xp and I just got cod5. I can play single player fine but when I go to play co-op and it loads all the way it just stays at the loading screen and also when I try to connect to a multi-player server it says I cant even connect to the online server and all my firewalls are down and such.
massage to Kr!T
i think the co-op main sever are down because you cant directly click on them the only way i could play was get invited by my friend
Fiido,I think im having the same problem that you were having. I can only see ~20 servers and they’re all titled “Download the patch”. I know I have 1.1 installed because when I try to install it again, it says “Detects 1.1 already on this comp” but in the game, the version number is 1.0.872. Turning dedicated on didn’t really do anything. Any further wisdom?
re #399- I have a athlon 3100 And I cant start the game either!
i can run cod4 great with my sapphire x1650. This is freaking crazy PLZ SWAG if you find the fix please repost to get in touch with me some how. thanks to everyone.
This is ridiculous. Forked out the cash and now it doesn’t work. None of the solutions helped me. Last time I buy a game of that brand and this one goes straight to the trash.Next time I will download a cracked version just to be sure it actually works and this way get the money back they skimmed of me. Signed, A REALLY PISSED OF CUSTOMER

This voice problem is damn annoying… no solutions so far. If I ever discover a solution I promisse to post it here. I hope I don´t get it ramdomly.
I´ve never seen a game THIS bugged before. Holy crap… where is the QA people?
okay…having said that..I just found another post….saying it’s only the Skullptura rip that has the no voices problem. So try another one…
(post: http://tehparadox.com/forum/f43/call-duty-5-world-war-rip-team-jpn-191091/)

Thanks XIAOLUNG, I figured that out and started a new download from another rip version on Friday. Looks like the Skullptura rip got a problem. Anyway, if that new rip works properly I´ll tell you guys. Thanks again.
Hey guys
Thanks for the list it really helped me when I was close to just deleting the game.
Maybe I can help, I have the downloaded version, and every time I tried joining a co-op game over lan, i got the same CD Key error, even though the GF and I used separate keys.
I found a fix at http://m0001.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_call_of_duty_5.shtml Just download the LAN fix for your version, copy the downloaded file into your game directory and launch the game from there.
hope that helps some1
A problem I am having is every time I click start single player, it just freezes, same prob on the GF’s PC, and I also sometimes get bluescreen while starting up some LAN games, busy downloading the new patch now to see if that fixes it, but does anyone else have any idea?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I have a problem. I brought cod waw and it doesnt work.
the problem i have is when its loading the the singleplayer or multiplayer map its stops and the screen turns black.
i have to restart it because i can do a thing.
Things i have tried:
-I updated everything (windows, new directx 9.0c, audio and graphic card.)
-I tried an older verion of the grapic card.
-changed all settings in game to lowest.
-re install the game and patch.
-deleting other games like cod 4.
The errors i sometimes read are:
-Direct3DDevice9:present failed: driver internal error.
-DirectX Error. (i could read it only in the taskbar)
If someone has fixed it or knows how to fix this plz let me know.
Thanks in advance. Greetings,Kyubiz
i have the same problem as rony pal comment no.411 please help us out guys ….thnx in advance
disable the unimodem under device manager in the sounds area, that worked for me.
I have encountered several problems with COD 5. mainly my computer would freeze about 10-15 minutes into play. reinstalled several times and took every other measure to fix the problem. my computer is definitely capable of running this game so that wasn’t the issue. BUT WHAT FINALLY WORKED FOR ME WAS SIMPLY RETURNING THE GAME FOR A NEW ONE!!!!! installed with no complications(HAD NO COMPLICATIONS WITH FIRST CD) and the game RUNS SMOOTHER THEN EVER! The game is awesome! hopefully this simple fix can help anyone experiencing these complications.
I have had most of the above problems, and solved some. yet still struggle to merely open the game due to a persistant “Direct X error” (gets to about 15% of loading a map then error occurs). I am amazed at the relentless amount of problems i have faced while simply trying to get this game up and running… For the first time i find myself wanting to buy a console -.-
thanks for the list of solutions, alot genuinly very useful
But this is becoming tiresome. I know i have higher than required spec and ive tried every driver update to my knowledge. Soon i’m throwing in the towel on this dire waste of time.
Fastfile for zone ‘code_post_gfx’ is corrupt or unreadable………
PLZ answer to this ….no ones answerin to this ….this error appears as i click on solo play.
Hey, I resolved my problems at last with CODWAW and the game now works fine. I have windows xp with a Nvidia 8600GT graphics card. I was getting a black screen, freeze ups, Punkbuster was booting me & could not create a profile.
The first thing I did was un-install my antivirus/firewall, which was Zone Alarm Internet Security suite. I replaced it with Bitdefender Total Security 2009. Bitdefenfer 2009 has a game mode which I enabled. Then I un-insttalled CODWAW & re-installed it. I have a Linksys router, so for CODWAW I opened ports 28930 to 28960. For Punkbuster I opened port 44301 to 44301. Wish ya luck, I’m going online & kick butt.
Guys, I have all the system requirments needed to play the game except the GHz mine is 2.4 and needed is 3.0Ghz will it make a HGUE difference? LIKE will it lag BIG time? or just a little big cuz im lagging horribly… if its nto that then can u please tell me what to do? Thank You!
no voices please help me please … would really appreciate it

SOLUTION!!! for the game freezing when you select a DIFFICULTY level and also when a MISSION ENDS and a new one is about to START–
Just press ALT+TAB and GIVE IT 2 MINS till your back to your desktop. (It may feel like your whole system has froze and you need to restart, but dont. just press ALT+TAB a few more times if you want till you get back to your desktop LIKE NORMAL.) Then click COD 5 from your task bar and your back into the game again with advancing into the game or into the next mission.
Enjoy

Ohh btw.. you can do the same when you launch the game as well for people who get a black screen upon launch. The funda here is that whenever a movie is about to play you get a black screen and you need to ALT+TAB out of the game and get back in.
Hey guys..
Console: PS3
Ok, when I tried starting up World at War tonight, it would either beep before the intro, or start the intro for a second, then beep. Both just resulted in a black screen and frozen ps3. After reseting multiple times, looking for any missed updates etc, I finally gave up. (It worked earlier this afternoon, perfectly fine).
Then, going on to my brothers account, it started up perfectly. So, I know this isn’t really the game’s problem, more my profile problem, but it still involves it. So if you guys can help me out, that’s greatly appreaciated :).
Thanks,
Tynan
hi guys… i have a similar problem.. i have tried what tom said but to no avail. My problem is that i am running windows XP and when i go into C drive.
“1: go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
2: Delete __CoDWaWmp
3: Go to players\profiles and delete all the player profiles here (except active.txt) ”
my computer starts with “C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War”… so i cant even find CoDWaWmp.
another thing.. i dont even have a players/profile to even put a active.txt …><
my computer freezes when asked what difficulty i want to choose when playing single.
hi first of all nice website
but becuase there is so many post over here … the website lags alot …
and it was hard for me to wirte a new post ,,,
back to problem … i have 2 problem …
one is from last night when i want to enter codWaWmulti .. when ever it says retriving information from server
( or what ever it is ) i get crash … and i could not join or be server ,.. so i used this way to temporarly
bypass this crash
i dissconnect from internet then i go to game ( no problem ) i connect to my friends server ( using ip )
then i use alt + tab to connect to internet .. and this way i can go to the game
or i deleted all my profile so there was nothing for codWawMulti to check … so no problem
but first way i have to dissconnect the internet every time
the second way i have to be unamned player with no class to choose
so if any one know how to fix this problem please tell me .. i know the reason ( CoDWaWMulti is checking
the cd key on server ) if there is a way to block the checking im sure problem will be sloved
my second and strange problem is when i want to play co-op with my friends
when i want to join any one server there is no prob … ( i can join at least 90% of servers )
but when i want to be the host ( in co-op ) … my friends will face three problems
one is when i start the game … one or many of them wont pass loading .. and they will be on
loading untill the game crash for them ( no synchrozing or Ready )
some of them will be ready but very fast after they get ready … they will go out
from game or to the menu with strange errors
and the last problem and very strange one is .. even if there is no problem ( num1 & num 2 )
when we go to the game … i will lag seriously .. first i thought it must be my internet ..
but i have a good internet .. and when i saw my frinds is hosting with worst internets .. and
from same ISP … i thought it should be something else … so i used cg_drawfps 1 to see my fps
and i saw … my fps is bellow 30 .. .so thats why i lag .. and becuase i lag every body else lag
i went to nvidia and update my 8800 GT driver .. and i used lower settings … and updated directx
but still i get low fps every time i host … but if i play single player or … join some one else
server … i get fps around 150 ( with high settings )
i used lanfix1 , lanfix2 , crack for hosting .. still same resualt …
if any one could solve this problem .. i would be very happy …
thank you
First,
Thanks to all that tried there best to help us unlucky ones with problems.
Unfortunately none have help me XP, ATI, Nforce2 combination that runs every other game I have fine including CoD series up to this release.
I do not understand the logic having a beta out that logged all of these problems ahead of release and still releases the game suggesting to everyone to become software engineers to change every possible thing in your box, I am pretty sure that most of the problem posters here have no issues with there other game, and the solution to all this is for Activision to say: It was a bad release, hold on guys we will fix it (statement will not happen, hopefully a fix will in due time)
-Just another irritated game owner.
when ever i try to play cracked servers im in for like a minute then i get kicked i get the following error…
“punkbuster kicked player RESTRICTION:Corrupted file/memory [81395]” somone please help me im in great need to play online thank you contact me at my e-mail if anything phyco.killer@yahoo.com
same prob with #438…since last night in every cracked server…any ideas ??
GUYS WTF, I FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM IS FIXED JUST HAVE A FUCKING LOOK AT THIS
ok guys i have the solution to make the singleplayer work
if you have a problem when you want to click on difficulty and it just pops back the screen, just do this
go to : C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
and delete everything.
then you make a folder called profiles; in that you make a folder called your username for example : QWERTY ; in that folder you make a .txt file called active; and in that .txtfile you type again QWERTY, save it.
again go : C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
make a folder called players, in that folder; make a folder called profiles (yes*again) in that folder you only place the .txt file active with your username in it.
now the trick is, you need to place the active.txt file in every folder in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW ( i know sounds silly but just do it )
so you need to have like 2 folders, called players and profiles, and in the folder players there is a folder called profiles again, np, then you just copy the active.txt into all folders.
when you have done that you probally can choose a acount, or yours, and start the game.
if you have problems with the missions crashing just do this :
first of all, you need to play the missions with the console
i will give you a list of all the level names in singleplayer
sniper
see2
pel2
pel1b
pel1a
pel1
pby_fly
patch
outro
oki3
oki2
ber3b
ber3
ber2
ber1
ok enable the console in the game, and if you are stuck in a mission, like what happend at mine at mission 7.
just bring up the console by typing ~ and you type sv_cheats 1, then you type devmap mak ( first level ) or devmap see2 ( mission
the problem is that if you type like map or mp_…
it wont load the sp mission, so you need this shortcuts names of the missions.
uhm, ye so when you are stuck on a level, just try to find the next mission so you wont miss to much.
Hello! Im really happy if you know the answer for my problem pls email it to me if you can
Why i cant install the CoD 5? Always the installation stops ( between 0-80 %) and then whole my computer crashes. It just stops reading the DVD. I checked out that my DVD-station(?) works, and it works fine. Im using Vista 32b,and my computer has enough power to run the game, but somehow i cant install it ?! I bought the game from store so its real, so is my Vista too etc.
Sorry for the poor english, but i really need help :/
Having problems creating a profile?
1) Navigate to (Vista) C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\ on your computer. MAKE SURE to enable hidden files and folders to see this .dir
(Win XP) c:\documents and settings\Username\local settings\application data\activision\codwaw\players\profiles
2) Create a folder with the name of the profile you wish to use
3) Delete any other folders with other profile names that you see in the same .dir
4) Open the file “active”, delete the existing profile name, and enter yours, making sure it’s the same as your named folder and save.
5) Right-click on the CoDWawmp.exe and select “Desktop (create shortcut)” from the “Send To” menu.
6) Right click on the new shortcut you just created and go to its properties.
7) Find the TARGET field and add the following to the END of the existing target, do not DELETE any of the existing tartget!
+seta com_startupIntroPlayed 0
Click OK and use this shortcut to run the game.
In the game drop down console with ~ and type /connect 213.139.163.78

I am getting an error message on InstallShield Wizard. It pops “This Installer requires a minimum resolution of 800×600 to complete. Please adjust the desktop resolution and restart the installer”, then quits the installer. I have changed my screen resolution to different combination several times (all higher than 800×600), but still no success. I have a ATI 4850 with newest video and audio driver installed. Could anyone help please?
My wife bought me this for Christmas so I decided to check it out before she wrapped it up. Yep, couldn’t get it to open after installation either. I deleted Treyarch.blk. I disabled Unimodem Half Duplex. I installed Direct X 9 upgrade. I finally downloaded new drivers from Nvidia for my GT8800 - new driver 175.24 - now it’s working but this had taken me two days. All these steps are described on this website. Me? I’m 69 years old and I don’t need this hassle.
Why do these people turn out such a shoddy release in such a great series? Couldn’t they have checked all this out before release?
I’m not being patronising but I know how some of you have to scrape money together to buy these games. These people should be ashamed of such shoddy workmanship.
That said, the game looks good although they’ll never equal CoD4. Keep at it and I hope you’ll all finally get the bloody thing to work.
PS: I just play in Solo mode because some mature friends of mine have been ambushed and beaten by eight year olds out there…..
WHAT!?!? ur 69 playing computer games?! omg thats rare..
Hi,
I have the profile/starting problem, BUT this one is dif,because i select SOLO,then…The dificulty…and then the menu stays on SOLO again,it doesn t move on to play or loading, it stays allways in the dificulty level board, or Solo / multiplayer screen..it doesn t start to load the game..and i am allways going back and forward on these menus…

“I really need an answer to this problem, please tell me someone knows what to do. I’ve looked around my own way of trouble shooting and still looking for answers but the installation goes great, I fix game options and the game looks great, then I can’t even start on a single player game . when I go to select difficulty, ex: Veteran, or any other difficulty that select screen disappears without any load and goes back to the previous screen and I have no clue what does this, like it’s no crash or anythingI can’t even begin to deduct what’s wrong. it just sits there, no start no load. goodness. -kevin”
This is happening to me to…any clue????

HEYYYY
For this problem of mine, here how it fixes the starting solo bug,that nothing happens right?…here is:
1: go to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW
2: Delete __CoDWaWmp
3: Go to players\profiles and delete all the player profiles here
4: Create a folder with the name you want for your profile.
5: Create a txt file, name it “active” and write the name of the folder you’ve just created for your profile, put this txt in the profile folder not in the the folder that you just created. ( well in the end you should see your FOLDER next to a new .TXT file named with your USER GAME)
For VISTA is :C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles
works fine here!!!!

I don’t get ANY of these errors, the game won’t start, nothing happens. I don’t have a game to crash from!
@Danny Collins,
You are my new hero, some great humor and insight in your post.
I am 48 my self, and have been playing games for more than 20 years, keeps your reflexes on top
So far I still are among the best on the servers, I only do on-line gaming these days.
Hardest thing “to take” was when my son start to beat me in some games
Hope to still be playing at 90+
And,
Activision please get this sorted now the amount of problem posts on Internet is absolutely ridiculous.
Heads should roll at Activision for releasing a product with this many problems. Did they actually do any testing before they released this product or were they just trying to release to the stores in time for the “Holiday” buying season. There’s going to be a lot more pissed off customers before this is all over!
hey guys, i have the problem with the black screen. i have already remove the tayarch.bik but the black screen is already there!!I have install the newest directx and nothing happens, ought you can hear the sound of the intro,etc. in the background.maybe its cause of my graphic card (ati x700 se) that its already updated.
CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME??????PLEASE!!!!!!!! XD
ohh and is it import if you have windows XP(like me) or Vista?????
and yes i have already the new 1.1 patch XD
hi!
i installed the game to my pc and cracked it. it runs till start menu and i can chose mission and difficulty level but no mission starts after that.
When I pick a game from mission select, resume the game or die and respawn in the campaign, the imfamous blackscreen appears, and I got one of the newest PCs ever. I tried Alt tabbing out and it worked a few times, but now the screen remains black with my curso in it, and I can’t hear any gun sounds, and I can’t seem to find the Treyarch. bik file, any other solutions?
I installed my registered copy and everything (mp/sp) worked fine until I changed my isp yest… there should be no problem with this as i not have 20 mb internet…
But the multi player wont always let me play…. cant connect to my online account/bad challenge or ip/server authentication failure are among the errors I get…
Occasionally it lets me connect to servers but im pretty sure a bug has worked its way in somewhere…
Anyone else with similar problems? And does anyone have suggestions/solutions? My internet and ping etc is fine as it plays everything else online perfectly.
I hope they release a patch that fixes everyones problems, im really disappointed with activision
COD5(retail), XP SP3, P4 3.2GHz, NVidia 7600, SB Live Value!
System ran COD4 fine.
I had the black screen problem. When launched, would go to a black screen and had to wait about 2 minutes for the game to finally start (menu appear). I tried the basic stuff (deleting that video file, etc.). I had tried disabling my SB card, but after doing that COD5 wouldnt start at all (would just flash and then go back to the desktop). I plugged in my USB Plantronics DSP SP500 headset, disabled the SB Live Value! card in device manager and now COD5 starts up fine.
seriously i have tryed to figure out the whole folders thing and its not working ffs plz help i lost my level in multi player i was level 35 ffs plz help some who can explain it way way way betta to a noob like me
For those of us with CPUs that don’t support SSE2, I found something where in COD4 you could put in the command
sys_SSE [0, 1]
When set to 1 enables Call of Duty 4’s SSE Extension support on SSE CPUs (both Intel and AMD support SSE). I was wondering if there is any configuration file that this code could be added too? Therefore changing the setting without having to have the game started to enter it. OF course this coould be all nullified if this command does not work anyways. Just taking a shot here.
I also looked for the miles folder to overwrite those files thinking that might solve it but no where to be found very suspicious.Makes me think that they tried to make it not work with SSE 1 only. very weird
i recently got cod5 and it work perfect because i deleted the video files, used the 175.19 nvidia drivers and did the whole profile thing! but now i got a problem because i bought myself a gf 9800gt yesterday and that old 175.19 driver isnt supported by my card before its old! what do i do now ? see my specs below
CPU: AMD athlon 64 3500+@2.55ghz
MOBO : DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-D
MEMORY: (2)Twinmos twister 512mbDDR400
PSU:SMARTpower.2 430WATT
GFX:Forsa Geforce 9800 GT 512mb stock
SOUND:Sound Blaster X-fi fps with Logitech z-5500
Brian, I have the same issue as you! I have athlon xp 3200! Rad tools are the ones who furnish the miles and bink video. I have e-mailed them of our problem (sse) and where to find the files we need to change, but havent heard back from them yet! Search rad tools and e-mail them also. The more the better! If I find a solution I will post it! Please do the same! Thanks ,Swag.
I have the same problem as problem #6 addressed in the beginning, multiplayer servers are not showing up in the lobby, and when i refresh it says “waiting for reply from master server” Is there any other solution to fixing that problem?? I downloaded patch 1.1, but I dont know if port fowarding is just for routers or whatnot, but I’m on a government website with no router, any ideas???
Hey all…
I have a problem my computer read in-game my player name(pet1) was kicked in 2 minutes for empty player name is disallowed why ? have i a wrong multiplayer settings or what ? plz help THANKS
I would just like to say THANKS! for the info provided on this page. I was about to reinstall my entire operating system because I kept getting the “unhandled exeption” and water_droplet messages. I just had to reduce my audio output from 96,000Hz to 44,000Hz and all is well. No apparent reduction in sound quality. gamingnewslink.com FTW!!!
It is a bug related to user profiles.
Go to
\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles
or
\Users\\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles
(for Vista)
Create a text file, type the name of your profile and save it as “active.txt” in “profiles” folder. Also, in “profiles” folder, create a new folder named exactly as your profile name.
E.g. if you want your profile to be called “Lolercoaster”, you should have a folder named
\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\Lolercoast er
and a file named
\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\active.txt
which contains the line Lolercoaster in it.
ive had my profile reset for the second time,i did save my profile name,active 1 and the $$$ files and used them instead still cant find where i left off i was a level 48
@ #386 they are rain clouds!
i wasn’t able to create a profile,because i couldn’t find the “local settings”file.By the way i found the “application data” file in the “ALL USERS” file.Is that OK.Please help.
for black screen probbs delete all vids exept the one that says default you wont have the vids but it loads in seconds and maps start jus as quick hope that helps
Swag, I will do the same if I find sollution!
Swag, I will do the same if I find solution!

hey there mate…i got this prob during open up cod 5..my system and hardware driver all are up to date..i have core2duo t7250 and gf 8600m gt in my laptop..
->Error during initialization:
Couldn’t load fileSysCheck.cfg. Make sure Call of Duty is run from the correct folder.
the crack i got from megagames…can some1 please help me??it make me fuckin mad u know..
sorry for my bad english..
hi just been reading all the messages,i recently got cod 5 world at war and was having most of the problems above,ie direct x error ,couldt get past the 3rd level on solo just freezes and also only being able to play a couple of maps on multiplayer,i no this will proberly sound maddness to most lol but the problem was simple for me i just updated punkbuster and boom problem solved well the direct x error fixed and multiplayer is fine can play all maps no problem,but still have that problem with the solo cant work that out….
I’ve already install call of duty 5 world at War. But what ever i chose (recruit or regular or hardened or even veteran), the game does NOT start. ALL my drivers are up to date.
just create a fucking profile its fucking easy
and you can play online and singleplayer
just make a profile stupid fags
Okay, I was having the same problem as others too. COD5 kicks me when I start up multiplayer. It seems to check other accounts. The solution for me I found to play online was this:
- open config_mp.cfg and enter seta com_startupIntroPlayed “0″,
to deactivate profile creation permanently
With this you don’t need to change any active.txt or delete other accounts.
to 487
this is my problem to
the same exactly
>>> I’ve already install call of duty 5 world at War. But what ever i chose (recruit or regular or hardened or even veteran), the game does NOT start. ALL my drivers are up to date. <<<
Hi, I was looking for my problem but I got bored because of the crazy amount of problems!
I have major multiplayer problems…
When I go to the lobby and try and join a game it just say’s awaiing connection and aawaiting challenge then kicks me out saying “duplicate qports” and other random error messages. If I every get into a game Punkbuster kicks me out for some reason. Some times it works fine… but rarely
i have updated my video drivers, yet i still keep getting this error:
the ati2dvag display driver has stopped working normally. save your work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality. the next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to Microsoft.
and then my whole PC crashes and it tells me No Signal.
any ideas on why this keeps happening?
any1 help me out in my comment 485..

Call of Duty World At War crashing to desktop at launch on winxp fix.
I am officially declaring myself as a genius! I bought this game on launch day and have not been able to play it until now. My problem was that it would crash to desktop when I launched game. I tried all the fixes on the net such as setting sound to 48khz and disabling unimodem half duplex in device manager etc. Anyways, none of these supposed fixes worked for me and many others. I have tried so many things to get this game working which you would not believe.
This evening I had a flash of inspiration. I checked dxdiag which showed my sound card as emulated! That can’t be right I thougt, so I went about reserching the net and found the following;
The solution lay in a very old WinXp problem. Winxp and 2k incorrectly set the drivers to EMULATED. The trouble is, it’s what directsound uses to remember whether it’s hardware or software, and my dxdiag thought I had no hardware buffer.
Try start-run-dxdiag[enter] and look at the “sound” or “sound1″ tab. If it says the device is EMULATED then this may work for you, it worked for me.
The only way to fix it is to do a regedit (Start-run “regedit”[enter]
and search (Ctrl+F) for every instance of the entry “Device Presence”.
Once there, in each one there should have some or all of the following:
(Default)
Emulated
VxD
WDM
Anyways, in most of these in my registry, VxD and WDM were set to 0, and emulated was set to 1. I modified the values so Emulated read 0 and VxD and WDM read as 1. Do this for every entry, by right clicking on the value and editing. Naturally it may be wise to keep a note of original settings on each (some will be 1,0,0 others will be 1,1,1 - was for me anyway) just incase something borks and you need to reset them.
You will have to re-run DXDIAG (start-run “dxdiag”[enter]) and set the hardware accelleration back to full and test it.
Basically guys the game now works for me, hooray. I’m sure there are lots of people still struggling because of this exact problem. If so, try the above as a fix and spread the word. Good luck.
Hi i am haveing a problem with cod world at war
the problem is low fps i am only getting an fps of 25.
OS vista 64bit
I am running two 8600gt 512mb cards in sli mode.
plus 4 gig of ram
For all those people with the problem with no response after selecting diffculty at new game (by no response I mean it takes you back to solo play screen) just turn your internet connection off (try disconnecting the cable or just turning the internet off, i dunno :D)! It worked for me, but still dunno how to play multiplayer then… Hope it helped… Cheers!
Yozz76 you are the man!!!!! the checking off the emulation in regedit was the fix! many thanks PROB #2 solved
I’ve created a small tool for people with the Select Difficulty problem. It will create a profile for you and allow you to play the game.
http://www.nickkusters.com/articles/88/Call_of_Duty_5_World_at_War_Missing_Default_Profile_Fix.aspx
yozz76 you are a genius!!!!!!!
Did a regedit and changed all instances of “Device Presence”
which were all
Emulated = 1
VxD = 1
WDM =1
to
Emulated = 0
VxD = 1
WDM =1
COD 5 came right up.
Problem #2 resolution confirmed.
Hey mcz,
you must be a brain surgeon with a vocabulary like that.
The only way i get past error 3 is to turn off all sound devices and then i get stuck with error 2.
I did the regedit from 1 to 0 and tried all sorts of other stuff but this game is even worse than ww2ol when it was released
ok guys here is my problem with cod5,it lags,then i get 2-4 seconds in game freezes,and on the end my pc goes into power auto safe mode.I have never have this problem before.I have played crysis,cod4,moh airborne,farcry 2,and still am playing those games and no peoblems so far.But when i play cod5 all goes down the drain.after every game if my pc dont goes into power safe mode i get this sort of console message from cod5:

PLEASE ANY ADVICE OR ANY HELP,so far i have sucseeded to avoid the power safe mode thisng by switching into the game to dual cards,lovering down the settings and set antialiasing on OFF.any help please…..
guys please, take this advice go play cod2, cod4 for like 1 month ,, till cod5 comes on CB etc.. then there will be automatically a new patch whit fixes,
ive tried everything you cant get rid off it.
then it will hopefully fixxed i have that freeze game problem 2
why do i load my profile and all then it sais cant connect to internet thingy so i have only 12 servers and ive dowladed patch?
hey yall i got a problem with the multiplayer.
i have been able to play multiplayer twice, and ever since that second time, every time i try to join a game from the lobby it gives me this bogus message “server authentication failure”. ive tried plenty different servers and i get teh same BS for every single one.
please help i need to level up
i agree with dNAJZdenis — i think they let cod5 out way to soon - they should have done a lot more beta testing on this game before releasing a game with so many issues - and to think I BOUGHT THE GAME
i did the fix:
(Default)
Emulated
VxD
WDM
and still it crashes with the error of:
the ati2dvag display driver has stopped working normally. save your work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality. the next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to Microsoft.
and i done lots of digging - and YES i have the LATEST driver for it, still it crashes after 3-5 minutes of playing.
catch ya on CoD4 :–)
for those who can’t play cod 5 when clicking the difficulty… especially with the cracked version ( like the riped from skullptura )
solution => shut down ur internet - modem or router - or just unplug the cable that is connected to ur pc or laptop =]
Enjoy playing after the difficulty =]
I cannot believe that this game has been released in this state, it is bordering on criminal. I have never heard nor seen so many comments about unplayability across such a wide spectrum of users and differing configurations. Shame on you Activision releasing a game that is simply not fit for purpose in its present state. I’m returning this game today to Game stores UK, my faith and confidence in this company is at an all time low.
Ok I’m having a freezing problem, however its different to all the others.
CoD WaW, and several other new games that I have bought recently, such as Need for Speed Undercover have had these strange periodic freezes. None of my older games are doing this.
When I’m playing CoD online, I can play about 10 mins before it will freeze, and say I’ve lost connection when it finally gets itself together. When I play Need for Speed, it will freeze for about 1 minute, every 5 minutes.
I’m running them on Vista 64, so I’m wondering if that has something to do with it…
Any help would be appreciated.
greg did u update ur latest drivers from video card?
what card do u have? i’m using vista premium 64 and it’s working well
I have concluded that Treyarch should have left the new version to Infinity Ward. This game is horrible. I have had almost every problem listed on this board. The game crashed when loading. The game played in multiplayer but not solo. The game starts with a long black screen. The game has slow movement and choppy sound. I made sure my system exceeded the minimum system requirements for this game. Call of Duty 4 works perfectly on my system. So I have decided not to spend another night wasting hours of my precious time trying to make this crap work. I’m going to sell it on eBay. Thanks all who took the time to try and this work. It’s just not worth. Call of Duty 4 is a better game anyway.
and to think my pc had issues,i though i cauf=ght a virus or something so I ended up reinstalling windows and formating my hard drive.This game will be playable after some time but not now,maeby another couple of months,and the 1.1 patch that i installed it dont do a damn thing.sad thing is they already have hacks going around that are undetectable,I mean last night i played and there was one guy (forgot his name)I’m shooting at him with the rifle 3 to 4 times in a row and he wont drop,then i took thommy and shooted at him closely he still wont drop i mean barely dies after 10 shots,I know about jugernaut perk but this aint that cause i use it ocasionaly and i dont live that long to survive.
the black screen is a bink video bug. There is a problem with binkw32.dll in CodWaw’s folder. I hope Activision will fix it soon.
Changed the Soundcard to a creative……..solved my black screen freeze…and now the Game plays..tf..:-)
FOR ALL THOSE WITH THE DON’T SEND PROBLEM AND RUNNING XP!! the solution is:
1) right-click my computer and select properties
2) select the hardware tab
3) go on device manager
4) go to Sound, Video, Game Controllers
5) now at this part start to disable random things and check if the game works each time. i found out that what was screwing it up was the Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device…. Thanx to ALLAH…THE GAME ROCKS….ENJOY

Ok #517, and what if I have the same problem and no Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device in the list ?
To all that have the no start crap . # 499 has a solution that worked for me.Enjoying playing this game finally, thanx nick
brian and swag I have the same problem - my system has ATHLON XP processor and game developer dont support these, because for them these processors are not stable. This is really annoying, knowing that all my other requirements are well above minimum and I could play COD4 with average settings without any problem (I just had to rename mssmp3.asi to .bak). Now they simply have made the program layout different, maybe just for irritating people!? Anyway fuck the game developers - WE NEED HELP, to remove this minimum spec. requirements for processors. I have been scouting for solutions, but havent found yet any. There should come somekind a fix, because there are a lot of systems running on athlon xp.
ps. Just bought couple months ago new graphic card for my system. I just dont want to buy a new rig yet.
help me y’all at my comment 485!!!
@ #519: Thank you Carl, your more then welcome. Maybe you can help me get the word out to people, I have created fixes for games before as you might read in other articles on my site, but I always find it hard to get the solution to people who have the problems. So, if you know of other sites that talks about this problem, feel free to add a link to my site there aswel.
[...] Fixing Call of Duty (5) World at War Errors, Crashes, Freezes and Intallation Errors | Gaming News L… __________________ workshop-manuals Use the link in my mood tag [...]
Ive been to a few forums and there are quite a few people out there with the same prob. My frame rates drop quite a bit out of no where. Sometimes in firefights, and some times when there is nothing going on. (close quarters walking around) And again out of no where the game acts like its in fast forward mode. Frame rates jump back to normal (45-60) yet everything is 2x as fast.
My system specs are:
And Athalon 64×2 Dual Core 4400+ 2.3 GhZ OC’d to 2.8Ghz (26 degrees C stable)
3 Gigs of DDR3 Ram (1800-2400mb available while running the game)
Nvidia GeForce 9600GT (512 DDR3 ram) Oc’d as well (60 degrees C stable)
Windows Vista Home (32-bit)
All drivers are up to date as well as game patches and Directx. (10)
I can run Crysis on medium-high settings, there should be no reason I cannot run waw. CoD4 runs flawlesly btw.
I have also tried turning all settings down, disabeling foliage, bullet holes, and turning down the resolution. No effect performance wise.
Any suggestions/help/fixes would be appreciated.
I have the 8.11 and a Sapphire HD3850 AGP.
Call of Duty World at War now takes ages to download a map and get into game.
I just upgraded from a 6800GT, which loaded me into the game super quick, but with worst graphics.
I have searched around the net and it appears that people running ATI cards suffer slow map load/joing gae times in COD5 World at War.
Does anyone else have this problem and or knows of a fix??
HELP

I have found a partial fix to the hangup or really long wait to the single-player/co-op mode. Unfortunately, it only works for starting it (which is nice if you just wanna do the zombies).
Make sure console is enabled first by going to options-game options-enable console = YES
Go into console (the ~ key by 1)
type in
\com_startupintroplayed 1
then
\com_introplayed 1
These disable the opening cinematics. I have not figured out how to bypass the video for each level, but if someone knows how, I’m positive that this will help with hangup between the different levels.
Hi all,
When I play cod 5 multiplayer it suddenly will shut down the pc….eg: turn it self off…any help?
hey man,

am playing the codwaw single player and everything’s going alright until i come to that mission (the one after the tank’s)
the game freezes while loading the level.
plz help me fixing that problem, i realy wanna play the single player ..
thanks a lot ..
Realtek drivers don’t allow you to set the audio to a specific bit and Hz. You can, however, change Speaker setup from “desktop stereo speakers” to “quadraphonic speakers.”
I can play to the Relentless level, and once the caves are cleared the last objective is to regroup with your squad. I can’t get anything to happen. I can wander around the cave and back in both entrances, but cannot move on to the next level.
Any suggestions.
to anyone who got problem at level eviction’s loading screen, go to nvidia website and download the 175.16 driver and install it. it work for me. sorry about my crappy english
hey i’ve done everything correctly on post #87 and #470.
single/co-op is fine.
but when switched to multiplayer it kept asking for online profile so then the default profile i’ve created went back to “Offline”.
also in the profile folder, everytime i switched to multiplayer that $$$ folder was somehow created by itself.
but the active profile in active.txt is still the profile that i’ve created. not the $$$.
i’m using vista32bit.
help anyone?

diego garza>> turn off this setting in options menu
If any of you are using Nvidia cards and getting the black screen, directx errors or direct 3d errors, try downgradig you’re Nvidia drivers from the latest ones to 175.19. This solved all my problems and the game runs smoother too.
Obviously uninstall your current drivers first.
hey guys i get a problem when i try multiplayer.
ive downloaded the patch and im running codwaw on vista.
when i create a new profile, i can play multiplayer for one session. after that, next time i try to join a server from the lobby, it starts loading and then stops and tells me “server authentication failure”. if i create a new profile, i can play on that new one for one session, but then the same BS happens.
ive tried turning the firewall off but that doesnt seem to do it either.
any help will be greatly appreciated since i paid 50 freakin bucks for this game that doesnt wanna do what its supposed to.
thanks in advance
For those who still have an issue with loading the game and receiving “Error during initialization: Unhandled exception caught” - there is a solution. We tried everything but only registry modification helped us. But it works now!!!
http://www.codhq.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=22646
“Error The solution lay in a very old WinXp problem. Winxp and 2k incorrectly set the drivers to EMULATED. The trouble is, it’s what directsound uses to remember whether it’s hardware or software, and my dxdiag thought I had no hardware buffer.
Try start-run-dxdiag[enter] and look at the “sound” or “sound1″ tab. If it says the device is EMULATED then this may work for you, it worked for me.
The only way to fix it is to do a regedit (Start-run “regedit”[enter]
and search (Ctrl+F) for every instance of the entry “Device Presence”.
Once there, in each one there should have some or all of the following:
(Default)
Emulated
VxD
WDM
Anyways, in most of these in my registry, VxD and WDM were set to 0, and emulated was set to 1. I modified the values so Emulated read 0 and VxD and WDM read as 1. Do this for every entry, by right clicking on the value and editing. Naturally it may be wise to keep a note of original settings on each (some will be 1,0,0 others will be 1,1,1 - was for me anyway) just incase something borks and you need to reset them.
You will have to re-run DXDIAG (start-run “dxdiag”[enter]) and set the hardware accelleration back to full and test it.
Basically guys the game now works for me, hooray. I’m sure there are lots of people still struggling because of this exact problem. If so, try the above as a fix and then go spread the word. Good luck.”
when i run the game the console says ”
Fastfile for zone ‘code_post_gfx’ is corrupt or unreadable”….i have cod4 installed and works great with same video drivers an card..any thoughts?

so… if you know whats up then plz help
Ok I fixed my problem with the periodic freezes…
I tried installing the latest video drivers, but that didnt work. So after a lot of playing around and wondering about it, I ended up updating my audio drivers, and re-updating my directx (the games had already updated it).
So I launched up all my originally frustratingly pausy games, and they worked just fine.
Hope it works for anyone who has the same problems.
Will my system work on, call of duty; world at war with the following spec?
* Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB L2 cache)
* DUAL SLI 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800GTX card
* 4096MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x2048]
* 400GB Free Fall Sensor Raid 0 Stripe - 2 X 200GB (7200RPM) Hard Drive
Cheers!

Hi, I’m too lazy to go through all posts, but I’ve got the Reloaded version, and I had the same problem, as many people around - when I selected new game - it put me back to menu. But I’ve got a solution: I’ve just deleted all the files in users\etc…\profiles, copied active.txt and my profile from CoD4, and deleted all files inside the copied profile (or just create an empty folder with then name form active.txt), and it works.
You’re talking about downloaded, hacked, illegal versions…?
Unreal.
Hi still wondering if anybody has found a fix for MULTIPLAYER HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM this is my third post bought this game on the first day and still cannot play it. my fix needs to be for xp not vista. I have done all updates and patches anything that might help would be great. thank you
I got problem number 2 and 3. I have no idea how to change sound output on XP, it’s sooo big different between XP and Vista.
Hey guys, I’ve got a unique one for you. I originally started with the profile problem, fixed that with the active.txt solution and it worked first try. So then I played through the game for a few hours but I had to leave so i closed the game. Got home and opened CoD5 and my computer crashed to the blue screen. It’s happened before with other games so no biggie right? Wrong. So I restarted the computer and reopened CoD5 again but it brought the “Create Online Profile” screen again. So I went through the steps of fixing my profile but now it doesn’t work. All my save games are still intact so I moved them into the $$$ folder and it doesn’t work either. I’ve read lots of other posts and I haven’t encountered anyone with my same problem. I’ve spent way too many hours trying to pick up where i left off and I’m about to call it quits. This is getting a little ridiculous. Thanks for any help guys.
OK OK OK I downloaded the freaking 1.1 Patch, and i patched it, yet only like 6 servers come up, But then my brother patched his CoD with the exact same patch and it worked fine, has anybody else had this problem?
Also, when i get my brother to invite me to a propper server it says i have the wrong patch, yet it isn’t!
Email me if you have any ideas
alpaca_guts@hotmail.com

Not sure how this fits in… this problem began occuring in COD4 after one of the last patches. And it continues for me in COD5, but MUCH worse…
When I launch, all is fine until the menu loads. Then, intermittnetly, I will get lock/lag. Cursor becomes choppy, moving once every 20 seconds. Game play is the same. I can alt-tab and the problem is resolved until the next screen needs to load (a menu, or the lobby for example). Then it occurs again.
Alt-tabing over and over sometimes gets me into a working online game, and then I’m fine. But sometimes all those alt-tabs crashes the game to desktop.
I’ve tried change graphics settings both in-game and on my nvidia console. I’ve adjusted my audio settings. Drivers are up to date. Running on an AMD FX-60 X2, 4gig memory, 1TB drive SATA RAID0, eVGA 8800 Ultra OC (liquid cooled), Creative X-Fi Pro.
Coop is even worse. I can barely make that happen. The switch between mp to sp mode is very destructive in terms of stability, on my system at least.
I also notice CPU resources can be pegged while COD5 is having it’s issues. All resources are grabbed by COD5. And I have all other extraneous processes stripped off.
I just can’t figure out a troubleshoot beyond what I’ve done, and what has been offered. I’ve seen the game run very well…when it runs I can run higher settings than I did in COD4. But the intermittent lagging/locking prevents any enjoyment at all. Very frustrating.
Hope this gets fixed soon. Or someone knows of a general fix I can try to resolve issues where alt-tab “clears up the problem”. What leads to the “problem” in the first place? No change occured on my machine when all this began. Very confusing stuff.
HELP! I want to shoot stuff!

qport error is just a bug. do a complete refresh on the server lists and if its still coming up…just restart the game. post #547 helps load game faster too.
when i play cod5 i can play the first 2 missions after the second mission a screen pop ups saying something about directx and is a unfixable problem or something like that any ways to fix this?? and i got the latest directx and i deleted the tyrech. file….
New question: I got problem 2 and 3 which I have posted already. But: Will I get the same problem if I buy the game, so it’s something with downloading the game?
No, the retail is the same. I just find it amusing that people download the game for free then moan like f’k regardless if there is a real issue
where i can find file off
code_post_gfx.ff
code_post_gfx_mp.ff
ui.ff
ui_mp.ff
corruprted!!
please..
or u can upload it somewhere..
other people also have the same problem..
help us..i bought this game..
hi all !
that list is too long for me to read…
my problem is :
when I load the game it works fine but I cant start playing !
when I choose new game and the first level, I have to choose the diffiulty - I do that and nothing happens.
the game doesn’t start and doesn’t crash !
I am still at the menu.
please help !
@ #589: Look at #499, it has the solution ( http://www.nickkusters.com/articles/88/Call_of_Duty_5_World_at_War_Missing_Default_Profile_Fix.aspx ).
“playback format must be set at 24 bit 48000Hz (Studio Quality). Simply select this from the dropdown list and apply the settings.”
How can i do that on windows XP? Trying everything, but no luck.
If you go to the control panel there should be another sound control option depending on your card, for example if it’s a realtek sound card there will probablly be a realtek audio device option.
I only got the “original” sound option in the control panel. I can press all “Volume” , “Advanced”, but theres nothing. I have also tried on “Creative’s Surrond Mixer”. I also tried:
“…go to control panel->sound…->got to hardware tab-> choose on the list with unimodem Half duplex something like that) and click properties and disable it.”
I take it your game is crashing with directx/3d errors? Are you using an Nvidia gfx card?
Hmm. I went to “THX Setup Console” And i see this:
Digital Output Sampling Frequency:
48 kHz
96 kHz
——————-
It already was on 48000, which means i dont have to change any, but now i’m just back on square 1…Doh!
Yeah, i got a nvidia geforce 8500GT.I have just installed newest driver, nvidia physx and directx 9.0c.
That’s your problem then. I have the 8600gt, didn’t work with latest drivers but works fine with july 175.19 driver.
Uninstall the nvidia driver you’re using now and install 175.19
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.19_whql.html
I hear 178.xx works but haven’t tried it yet myself.
Specs: vista ultimate, 7900gtx 2gb ram running COD 5 nicely BUT then I played MP…basically discovered the active.txt fix but what then what happens is if I close the game and then try to play it again it will not load I get “unhandled exception error”….
So to fix this I had to go back into appdata/players/profiles and remove all profiles again (they are created everytime you load the game up) to play the game again..
this is a bug!! as you cannot resume MP with your configuration (i.e. guns you finished with or settings) and I dont think there is a fix…if there is pls tell me?
thanks..
Any update on the SSE only CPU incompatibility?
Nothing yet brian! I did here back from john miles at radtools, he said that he could’nt help because the game dev. would have changed the code after recieving the miles folders! Hand in I will post if I find anything! swag
i keep getting a black screen and then it says
“directX has encountered an unrecoverable error.
check the readme for possible solutions”
i tried this already but so far no luck. plz help!!
i have vista…reply soon!
I have a HP a6650f with quad core running 64bit vista and the nvidia 8800gtx. I get the directx error and after some digging around on my system noticed that there was no video/graphics RAM allocated, it was 0. Anyone have this problem? I have a 640mb video card. I think this is causing the Directx error unrecoverable. Anyone have any luck with this?
nvm found my problem..haha
Uhhhhh any1 got the answer to a DirectX internal faliure problem?
Fixed, downloaded the most current drivers from nvidia. aparently vista recognized the nvidia motherboard instead of the card. hope this helped some people.
new problem this time on xp
ok downloaded the drivers most people found helpful for nvidia and i seemed to have gone a step further but this time its just a black screen and it stays like that.
help plz!
just hit tab and ctrl to another screen and then back.
If you’re stuck at the menu and trying to start a game to be only back at the menu, create the profiles as stated above, thats profiles, plural.
IMPORTANT part: disable game in the FIREWALL
when games starts your profile name is at the top right, punk cant get online - exit and play

I cant get Cod Waw start up before this message apears.. :((
Best regards /// CoD-o-maniac
when i open up cod and try to play it it quits and says direct x has encountered a unrecoverable error so i tried reinstalling cod and reinstalling directx and also made sure i have the latest version of direct x but it still does not work
I have tried older and the newest nvidia driver, still have problem 2 and 3. Call of duty 5 is the only game that i have trouble with. Are they gonna fix this??
Collin your CPU is not supported since it has only SSE. I have the same issue and there is no fix yet. I don’t think there will be honestly.
Been having problems starting solo and multi until I did the following: Im using XP and I went into Control Panel…Phone and Modem devices…Checked for any modems and deleted 1. I also updated what I thought was my already updated graphics driver with the following http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_180.48_whql.html I am now playing solo and multi with no problems.
hi guys. i found a fix for the proflie making issure about how it wont let u create one. it may have been mentioned but im not gunna check through 621 posts
all you have to do is go to where you installed cod5 and create a folder called “profiles”. in that folder create another folder called whatever you want your profile name here. e.g. “insertnamehere”. and i dont know if this is nessacary but in the folder called “profiles” create a notepad document called “active” and in that write your profile name.
if u need help on this email me at jsjpog@gmail.com
If COD4 ran fine on my pc, should CODWAW run fine also (it isn’t)?
Hi All!!
I m using Vista Ultimate SP1, using 8800GT 512Mb and onboard SoundMax ADI 1998 device, not getting any music or dialogue in the game. the game works fine, I can hear the grenade explosion, gun shooting but no dialogue or in-game-music. Also I observed that only SFX setting in Sound makes a difference, If I increase/decrease the music volume or any other setting, it does not make any difference….I’ve already tried changing the default sound setting to 24Bit 48000MHz, but to no avail. Using the latest Audio Drivers. i remember, I had some issues with Assassins in XP which I resolved by changing the Hardware Acceleration. But there’s no way to do it in Vista (or i don;t know how to do it;) )…..Any help is appreciated.
Hi guys,
Does anyone experiencing choppy sound in each level’s intro video while it is loading up for the next mission? Im using XP SP3, ATI Radeon HD2600 and Creative SB Audigy Value (All certified by directx) and all works fine with any other games like COD 4, Brothers in arms and star wars games. I don’t have problem with the gameplay but just the choppy video in each levels which makes me sick. Always having the dialogue (so called briefing)in the video before each new mission. Hope someone can help. I’m using the cracked file from RELOADED.

I have been playing COD-5 for the last few days and i reached the 15th level today. Now the game gets stuck during the intro video of level 15. Whats the problem?? Help please…..
Im getting tired on this sh.t . Impossible to solve the problems, time to uinstall i think.
Hey, I was playing COD WAW and got pretty far in. On every loading the sound is breaking but the video seems fine but then after a little while the sound gets really bad and the game freezes. It seems that the game freezes at the same mission load everytime I try and load it. Alt+Tab don’t work but Ctrl+Alt+Delete works but I can’t do anything with it. Solution would be appreciated. Thanks.
When the game start i have always black screen, how can i fix tis problem?

Hi guys, I hope you can help me.
Well, I installed the game and played it, and finished it too xD.. but today when I started the game it didnt load, there was just a damn black screen, and after 2 miutes comes a message ” Directx unrecoverable error, check the ReadMe.. ”
Isn’t it strange ? And shitty, too.
Thanks for helping me. ( who can )
Hi, i can’t create an online profile, who can i solve that?
Hello, for all of you having cod 5 problems on nvidia 8600gt (xp)install 175.16 driver.Game will run without any problems and it will also improve the frame rates considerably.Problem is new nvidia drivers some how they far more worse than previous ones and dont know why!
I am playing WaW on a PC platform. My problem is after completing a challenge in operations (i.e. winning a game in domination, team death match, sabotage, etc.) it doesn’t register in the challenges section. For example, I’ve won more than 10 team death matches and I only have 1 victory registered in the challenges section. Why? I’ve tried hardcore…non-hardcore…doesn’t seem to matter. Anyone have suggestions?
For the ppl who have xp and goto load COD WAW but it crashes to the desktop here is the solution.
The solution lay in a very old WinXp problem. Winxp and 2k incorrectly set the drivers to EMULATED. The trouble is, it’s what directsound uses to remember whether it’s hardware or software, and my dxdiag thought I had no hardware buffer.
Try start-run-dxdiag[enter] and look at the “sound” or “sound1″ tab. If it says the device is EMULATED then this may work for you, it worked for me.
The only way to fix it is to do a regedit (Start-run “regedit”[enter]
and search (Ctrl+F) for every instance of the entry “Device Presence”.
Once there, in each one there should have some or all of the following:
(Default)
Emulated
VxD
WDM
Anyways, in most of these in my registry, VxD and WDM were set to 0, and emulated was set to 1. I modified the values so Emulated read 0 and VxD and WDM read as 1. Do this for every entry, by right clicking on the value and editing. Naturally it may be wise to keep a note of original settings on each (some will be 1,0,0 others will be 1,1,1 - was for me anyway) just incase something borks and you need to reset them.
You will have to re-run DXDIAG (start-run “dxdiag”[enter]) and set the hardware accelleration back to full and test it.
HI, MY PROBLEM IS THAT I RECEIVE THE MESSAGE “PLEASE INSERT THE CORRECT DVD-ROM,SELECT OKAND RESTART APPLICATION”
Hey guys i got CoD5 yesterday with my brand new comp - Winxp PRO SP3- i have the recent patch and it runs well exepct i cannot connect to any online servers (PC) - what will happen is it will just sit on ‘Setting Up game…” and will not do anything untill i close it - ive tried numerous things, updated PB but nothing,
Any Suggestions,
Thankyou
Hey guys just wondering.
I cannot connect to any online servers, it’ll just sit on ‘Setting up Game…’ and refuse to connect, ive tried updated PB, and i have latest patch (this is for PC)
Have any Suggestions?
Thankyou
Right Click on the default playback device (e.g. Speakers) and click properties. From there select the Advanced tab.
To eliminate this error the default playback format must be set at 24 bit 48000Hz (Studio Quality). Simply select this from the dropdown list and apply the settings.
Even if I try to follow this solution, i haven’t the 24 bit option in my audio list, but only 16 bit. How can I do?

okay mine seems to be having a weird problem .. ive been playing COD5 for 2 weeks now (even finished it already).. early this week i reformated my pc and reinstalled it (due to my harddrive being faulty and unaccesable).. however XD, now im getting problems saying “DirectX has encountered an unrecovarable error” .. wtf? and im running crysis on dx9 with great and smooth fps with maxed settings -_-”” .. ive tried updating dx9 and still having the problem (latest dxweb) sigh** right now im using “Hd4870×2 Quadfired” (on 1680×1050 monitor =/) with latest ati drivers
Any fix for athlon xp processors??I can play cod4 after renaming mssmp3.asi to mssmp3.as
I tried all of the suggested fixes to no avail. I started thinking outside the box. Here’s how I resolved the blank screen on all 4 of my computers. I imaged the drive on the system that it did not work on. This system has an Asrock Sata II motherboard, AMD 3800 X2 CPU, VisionTek 3870, 512 MB, 4 GB’s 3200 memory, 500 MB Pata drive, DX9 XP SP2, ATI CCC 8.11 drivers. I was in the process of building a new rig, so I used this image for the new rig to do some tests. The new rig has a 140w 9950 AMD CPU, 8 GB’s 6400 Memory, VisionTek 4870 1GB, 1 TB Sata drive and AsRock 780 GXE Motherboard. I booted the system and installed the drivers. Removed COD 5 and reinstalled, deleted the Treyarch video clip, and COD 5 started with no issues.
Here’s the stumper; I then imaged this configuration and used it on the system that did not work and allah! COD 5 works with no issues. I did not change anything other than loading the motherboard drivers. This has worked on 3 other machines. Keep in mind they all have the same AsRock Sata II motherboard and video cards installed.
risbo, noyhing yet! Still looking, will post anything I find!Swag.

Re: #639 Getbent — November 28, 2008 @ 3:52 pm
YOU ARE MY HERO. I’ve been working on this since MONDAY! Pretty much 24/7 and finally, 5 am Saturday morning, it is fixed because of you! I have repaired the Windows Installation, updated, done anything and everything I could find on the net and wasted a week of my life (a vacation week to boot) trying to fix my son’s installation. My husband’s and mine work fine after a few tweaks to mine, but we could not get my son’s to work. We bougt a new graphics card with shader 4.1 which of course meant we needed a new psu etc. etc. I have been at my wit’s end. You have saved the day while my son still has two days left before he goes back to school to start racking up some stats. It’s fixed just in time for me to go back to work to pay for his game and the unexpected upgrades. Oh, joy. lol.
I don’t know how to convey my gratitude to you adequately, but hopefully you will read this and know that you made someone’s day, their week, their year! THANK YOU!

the ati2dvag display driver has stopped working normally. save your work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality. the next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to Microsoft.
“Direct3DDevice9:Present failed:Ran out of memory”
why is it when, i can go from the CD Drivers for my ATI Card, all the way up to the most current drivers for my vid card, and yes i installed the absolute latest in directx 9, that my damn PC still crashes cause of this game?
it is so screwed up now i cant even play normal pissant 3D games on my PC.
# Bluenight — November 11, 2008 @ 9:52 pm
My problem is a little odd. I can play and complete the first two missions (1.Semper Fi & 2.Little Resistance) without a single problem. But every time I try to load the third mission “Hard Landing” , the game crashes to desktop or sometimes my PC just hangs up. Pressing Alt+Tab or Ctrl+Alt+Del makes no difference , so I have press the restart button. Hope someone has the solution.

We have the same problem… Please Help us u.u
In the mission “Hard Landing”, the game freezes into a black screen. I don’t know what to do!
S.O: Windows XP SP 2
VGA: Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (512Mb)
I just installed the game (COD WaW)…It will NOT let me change any of the graphics settings. I run VISTA 32 bit. Resolution is stuck at 460x(Something)…Also, I have no such folders in my USER folder when referring to a Player Profile..
hey, my game just doesn’t work. i start it up and everythings fine but when i get to the new game screen, i click it, then i click level of difficulty and it brings me back to new game menu. what the hell?
hey i got the same issue as blunight and many others i am sure exact same problem black screen at the third level nothing afta that !! help wud be appreciated
Well,
After looking into stuff a bit more it seams that both CoD4 and CoD5 uses miles from Rad Tools.
Miles from Rad Tools do only support SSE2 and AMD Athlon 64 +3200 have SSE2 but AMD Athlon XP +3200 that only have SSE.
On CoD4 you can rename mssmp3.asi to mssmp3.bak and get the game to work just fine, but punkbuster is not happy about that so multiplayer is out of the question but the game run just fine with ATI19050.
On CoD5 you do not have a miles folder, it’s compiled into the game so the game will never work on CoD5 as things are now, so in short Activision please make a patch that make it possible to opt out from miles so you get accepted by punkbuster and could get CoD5 going and things would be hunkydory.
The symptom it behaves is that it fails to launch.
After reading thru the thread again it seams like it all been posted before, sorry about that.
okay so i get almost the same problem as the one on number 293. Could one of you send me directions on how to fix please?
so when i try and run the game in SP i get a msg saying videocard doesnt support UBYTE4N vertex data…..can anyone help with this???
thanx
Dear Friends,
I found out why the text file doesnt work….u should not rename it as active.txt…..just open a new text file enter ur name inside the file and save it as a text file type….and remember not to rename as .txt….hope this works for u guys too…mine is working nw…

My problem is a little odd. I can play and complete the first two missions (1.Semper Fi & 2.Little Resistance) without a single problem. But every time I try to load the third mission “Hard Landing” , the game crashes to desktop or sometimes my PC just hangs up. Pressing Alt+Tab or Ctrl+Alt+Del makes no difference , so I have press the restart button. Hope someone has the solution.

FRM \Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\main\video (MAKE SURE U HAVE A BACK UP OF IT)
and u run the game on the resolution which is set in ur PC also
Mine just won’t play, when i select my diffuclty nothing happens it doesnt start or anything just stays at the main menu waiting for me to click something again. It doesn’t go to a black screen or a message doesn’t pop up, it’s like the buttons are just for show, but no go.
Please help.
I don’t understand why people just don’t bother look into previous posts about the situation they might face? this is dumb people, wasting your time wishing someone will kindly answer you question heh?

Hi, got the same problem as barnakol #10 .. game installs fine, as soon as i hit the solo- or mp button, the game crashes to desktop and a windows pop-up shows up saying that the ‘programm has stopped working, you will be notified when a solution is available’. That’s it. I’m working with an Intelcore2 quadcore Q6600, 4GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 8800 and windows vista 64bit. Does anyone have a solution or even clue of what’s wrong? Thnx people!
Hello Brian, Swag and Tomas.
I seem to have the some problem as you and I bet enough other people who want to play world at war. Have been considering just upgrading my system(Nforce2 based) but Call of Duty 4 runs just fine on high settings and the last upgrades I performed and spend money on have also been for a Call of Duty game, where I’d rather spend my money on in the first place! Can play most current next Gen PC games just fine so maybe we can combine forces and make a sub-forum just for this problem to see how many gamers are out there with the same specs who have bought the game or want to but don’t dare to because of the problems. I want to play that new Bond game too but the Demo won’t start either. Have been looking around for solutions myself but not having SSE2 support seems to be the pitfall right now. Have been looking into emulation as well but although there are some software developers who have been working on it and have it working on a certain degree, it will slow things down, if it can fix it in the first place, to such a degree it would look like a picture sideshow
Well I’ll keep looking around myself and hope they(Treyarch, activision)’ll appreciated our passion to get this game running enough to help us out with a fix/workaround.
Like the shampoo commercial > Because we deserve it
Alot of people have had the crash during the “Retrieving Account Information” message (like me), and I found a solution to work around this message. Go to your config file (config_mp.cfg, located in the AppData or Program Files folder) and search for the variable “com_startupintroplayed” with the ctrl-F function. Change the number behind the variable from 1 to 0. Now, when you start the game, the intro video is shown (Activision) and for some reason (don’t ask me why), the game will NOT check for account information.
As soon as you’ve seen the intro video, the variable com_startupintroplayed will change back to 1. Therefore, whenever you start the game, open up the console (~) and type in ‘com_startupintroplayed” (or choose it from the list), and change the number back to 0.

Hello richard! I have been looking also. I had e-mail conversation with John Miles of radtools(as in MILES files) He says he cant help us because the devs at treyarch and activision take his files and recode them for their game! Great guy he is the only one to respond to the sse question! I did go to radtools and download the video player, thought this could be a fix -but wasnt. But the good part of the radtool video player is I could go into the bink video files and play all of the intros! Guess what? the intros play exceptional, but the sound is broken up, which is proof to me that the same problem in cod4(mssmp3.asi miles sound file overwrite fix) exists in cod waw! I have posted in all forums-treyarch-activision-cod4forums-callofduty-etc! NO SUCCESS! will keep looking! There could well be a way to overwrite in certain file or apps. The devs could tell us which ones if they would!Anyhow sad but glad to know i am not alone! swag
hmm, I’ve posted 2 long comments but they don’t seem to show up… test test test
Hey Swag,
Have some probs posting here, not sure if you have Xfire, because don’t think it’s wise to post my e-mail here, got some other suggestions/ideas and maybe we can actually play some CoD4! Found some wonderful custom maps!
greets, Richard.

hi, i have the problem when i start up multiplayer i get a black screen. ive tried alt-tabbing out and in and clicking esc. i have also tried re-installing and deleting treyarc.bit. please can someone help me
Hi, i have looked through these options and i am having trouble connecting to servers on my computer. I know its not my internet because i play WoW all the time. I can sometimes connect to servers but then i always end up getting disconnected. I tried changing ports like problem 6 said but it says i need IP addresses and things and now im just all confused help would be very nice and i would really appriciate it. pls and thank you
Well I couldn’t find my problem on here. I can play the game fine, but what happens is I choose a mission, start the mission, everything works, but once I beat one mission and it’s loading the next the cutscene video is black, I can hear it, and I can see the load bar on the bottom, but the video is black, if I select that mission from the main menu then it plays fine, only when loading from one mission to another, also once I have loaded a mission and I go back to the menu I get the same thing, black screen, but the sound is working, and if I move the mouse I can hear it rolling over the buttons. Everything in my computer is up to date, and I am running Vista Home Premium 64, Geforce 8800 GTS 512, 4GB RAM, all in a laptop (HP HDX9494nr)
Note on my previous comment, I can hear the video playing, and when it’s done the next level loads like normal.
please help? I use windows xp i get error when i try to start game.
error signature appname:codwawmp.exe
app version 1.0.0.1 modname:codwawmp.exe
mod version 1.0.0.1 offset 0001e7fa.
i dont have any mods i just installed dvd version today i have patched to 1.1 and can’t find an answer anywhere to this error and play this game.

i have a problem on my vista 32-bit all the sound etc is fine i suppose, but whenever i try to run the damn game, it shows an error message saying “CodWaWmp.exe stopped working and the process causing it was APPCRASH or something. So what do i do? Cus, i open the game, and it shows that the tihng is searching for profile and the 3 dots appearing,disappearing maybe 2 times and then the thing crashes. So what do i do to prevent this?
Cheers.

Just read on the top of this page, there is your solutions to your problems. The solotions dont work for everyone though.
EVICTION CRASH FIXED on my HP laptop. For those who crash in a level EVICTION on freeze while loading the map , you just have to update the latest graphic card driver. and for those who using laptop on Nvidia , will need to go to this website (http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers)download latest driver on the version of 180.70. After you downloaded the file , make a new folder in c: and name it driver180.70 , then extract the driver file in this new folder . Last step just go to setup file and install the driver , REBOOT and you will able to play Eviction level smoothly. I did it on mine and it run so smooth. Good luck .
I got WAW on PS3 and i couldnt get past the introudction video with all the war clips on my main account, so i took the game back and got a new version, which still had the same problem. I then made a new account and started again online and all was going fine until the same problem with the introduction video freezing happens every time again on this new account… Anyone know what is going on and if so solutions would be much appreciated, thanks
can CoD 5 work on an intel celeron d @ 3.2 ghz?
You must do this:
To remedy this problem click:
Start>Control Panel>Sound
Right Click on the default playback device (e.g. Speakers) and click properties. From there select the Advanced tab.
To eliminate this error the default playback format must be set at 24 bit 48000Hz (Studio Quality). Simply select this from the dropdown list and apply the settings.
Try launching the game now-Everything should run fine.
are you a retard? try mentining the proceedure for windows xp or say what system you are talking about because there is no such thing as right click speakers or speakers property i ot as far as -control panel -sound next step is non existent on xp!
I don’t understand why people just don’t bother look into previous posts about the situation they might face? this is dumb people, wasting your time wishing someone will kindly answer you question heh?
maybe becuase there is so many useless posts like this one retard!
can someone answer one day as to how to fix the error codwawmp.exe crash??? all i see is questions about it and no answers!
Same problem with milos…I cannot find the players/profiles…
well i still cant run the frigging single player. i have done every single fix short of swapping my motherboard with my previous one….
none of these fixes work, and no others that i have found on the net. this has really pissed me off.
Bluenight, Rony Pal, Gautam, CODfan, Baku and all that have problem after complete the second level and don’t load the third mission “Hard Landing”:
1. Install Directx 9.0c
2. Uninstall physx and DOWNGRADE your video driver to 175.16
3. Have fun
I have a Geforce 8600 GT Fatal1ty and i had the same problem than yours. Now, it works fine.
Hey, how to “DOWNGRADE your video driver” to the one u said ?
I have the problem, when i click “new game” and then gonne choice “difficult” nothing happens, whats the problem?
Any1 who know how to fix it?
Pleasy help. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
@712: You can download a fix for that here: http://www.nickkusters.com/articles/88/Call_of_Duty_5_World_at_War_Missing_Default_Profile_Fix.aspx
There aren’t enaugh people on the support team at activision to help with all these problems, they screwed up this time, errors, blue screens, black screens, and freezing. The problems made this thread to have one of the most post worldwide. If i could return this game I would. So far COD4 is way better than WAW, I havn’t got an error with COD4 but hundreds with WAW. The support team coudn’t even help me.
For those of you with the Difficulty Screen problem, who cannot find the FOLDERS on your computer that Tom and others have mentioned :
You have to open My Computer, click Tools, Folder Options, click the View Tab, and then a few check boxes down you will see “Show Hidden / System Files”. Click this. You should now see all the folders
Worked for me on Windows XP.
for the start up crash, audio rate change may work in vista, I don’t know. But for XP, go disable the “unimodem half-duplex audio device” in device manager.
For the path of profile, vista is a little different than xp.
Vista is C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players
XP is C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players
When follow the instruction of delete the “__CoDWaWmp” file and setup the profile folder and active file as stated.
Then most of you should be fine. I am playing now.
For multiplayer/online profile, I don’t know how to deal with it. If you downloaded the game instead of bought it, then don’t bother with online mode, it probably won’t work until you got a unique CD key (I am surprised how many people don’t know they can’t play online for downloaded game).
My system is Q6600, 4GB ram, 8600GT, Asus P5K-E with intel P35 chipset mobo.
PS: I myself didn’t especially update any driver
I wonder if this problem exists only in download game or in the retail DVD. For download, some trouble is acceptable (you didn’t pay for it). But if the retail DVD is the same, then activision did a bad job in this game.
# SB_GABBAR — November 29, 2008 @ 6:31 pm
well,I must say that y they took out the game??
first My game crashed after lvl 3 then i came here solved my problem then i just passed the game in some hours shit :O
in just 2 dayz the game is over and then i gone to online mode then it says enter name i entered then it asked confermation i said yes and then it again came back to the creation screen this game is full of holly errors.
PLZ BETTER IF YOU ARE PLANING TO BUY IT OR PLAY IT DON`T DO THAT LOOL THIS GAME IS MORE THEN A JOKE
PIECE OF SHIT

Maybe less time behind the computer and paying more attention in class… Your grammar and spelling is pathetic. Even if I could tell you how to fix your issue in 3 words I would not do it because your language annoys me that much.
loser.
installing problem? try this make a folder of CodWaW copy/paste data from dvd. run the from that folder. it works.
This will fix audio/sound problems from skullptura rip.I have tested and it worked.Too bad i already completed the game…

I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!. NOW CALL OF DUTY WAW WORKS WELL!!!!!
I run Windows XP SP2, no needed sound updates, updated net.framework to 3.5 SP1 but seems no needed, updated graphics driver to 178.24(but no needed too), i read almost all of post here but nothing helped me. Then reading careffully this line in the error console
“PunkBuster Client: Warning: Corrupted Interface”,
i “saw the light”. Tried to unistall and install punkbuster, but not worked, my system files of Punkbuster seemed to be ok, so i opened the event viewer (Eventvwr.msc), and in the aplications tab saw that the error was in the pbcl.dll file that is placed in the “PB” folder inside the installation of Call of Duty WaW.
THE FIX is easy, you only have to COPY the “pbcl.dll” file of CoD4 located in “X:\…\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\pb” and overwrite the same named file in “X:\…\Call of Duty - World at War\pb”. Paste the file in that folder overwritting the older and the game will run well. The game seems to freeze in the first black screen and always loading new maps but let 2-3 minutes to the game and it will run properly (this maybe only happened to me, ‘couse i have an old Pc-AMD64-3000@3500).
If you haven’t the CoD4 installed to take that file, download it from here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NEF0PFPK
Is the file with i fixed the problem, it’s a Rar file without password (and 100% virus free),download it, decompress and paste in “pb” folder of CoD-WaW installation, overwritting the existing one.
I hope this will help you. I played CoD-WaW 2 times entirely, in “Normal Mode” and “Hardest Mode” (is a very funny game but i think that i prefer CoD4), and i have 0 problems in single player. The on-line mode is just another question (yes, you can play on-line although you downloaded it from PirateBay) because you’re always kicked from all the servers (remember that you altered the Punkbuster files and its normal), i haven’t solution for online mode till now, but i’m working on it.
I hope you understand my explanations couse im spanish so… sorry for my english…..
Good Luck!!!

i have had trouble getting this skullptura rip of game to work and i was absolutely at a loss for what to do. I cant believe what you suggested actually worked. It seems like such an irelivent issue.
Anyway thanks heaps your a champ =)
Hey Kulka
All you need to do is install the video driver 175.16. You can get it on Nvidia site (www.nvidia.com), if you have a Geforce.
hi guys ive got a problem ive been able to install cod5 no problem and cracked it how ever i select single player and then new game and select my difficulty level but it wont go any further ive also gone and selected the 1st mission and the same fings happend again when i went to selct the difficulty really want to play this game how do i do it
Hello, I have a problem with selecting difficulty, but it has nothing to do with the usual problem (select mission, select difficulty, and you’re back in select mission). My problem is, that the game seems to lock-up / freeze after I select the difficulty. How did they mess it up so bad with this one, cod4 worked fine. Downloading patch 1.1. There was some talk about downgrading nvidia gfx drivers, but the 175.16 wasn’t a correct patch for my card, GeForce 9400GT.
This may be the answer for some of your issues, your soundcard may not be updated, try updating your sound card.
When I load the level Turning Point in SOLO missions, and then I click to start mission after it’s done loading, my screen goes blank and then crashes to desktop and says “Unhandled Exception Caught”. I have it for PC and I updated my graphics driver and sound driver. I have absolutely no hardware problems. How do I fix this?
we need a new crack
Hello, I’m from the XI support team, I can get you help, please post your question or rant at-

Tried this but couldn’t work.
To remedy this problem click:
Start>Control Panel>Sound
Right Click on the default playback device (e.g. Speakers) and click properties. From there select the Advanced tab.
To eliminate this error the default playback format must be set at 24 bit 48000Hz (Studio Quality). Simply select this from the dropdown list and apply the settings.
What else can I do?
i have this problem:
Couldn’t load fileSysCheck.cfg. Make sure Call of Duty is run from the correct folder.

U fookin reeka. this is for the problem in solo player when the game crashes in episode 3 hard landing. i have look at everything on this and other sites with no joy until now. I’m running a laptop hp dv9000 series with an nvidia 7600 go 512mb graphics card. I rolled back the driver to the only previous version both 2006 THE ORIGINAL ONE NOT THE LATEST ONE and hey presto the game works.trust me i have tried fax modem removal sound card removal and update treyarch pak file removal and everything else known to man or beast……Good luck all….
OMG!
My system: Nforce4 Ultra-D and a 9800GT:
Drivers : GPU: 180.48 and WDM_A406.exe for audio (LATEST!)
DirectX : installed directx_nov2008
PROBLEM: IT CRASHES WHEN MAP VIDEO LOADING SCREEN APPEARS.
DIRECTX ERRORS?
SOLUTION: YOU FOUND IT FOR ME
(I GUESS THE SOLUTION IS GO FUCK MYSELF!)
Anybody ANY SUGGESTION? sorry for the caps
Bought Call of Duty: World at War (Limited Edition) yesterday, installed it wihtout any errors at all. Game opened up and ran completely normally, played up to the 2 level (Little Resistance) without any issues or errors but once I got halfway through the third level cutscene the voice over skipped and then the whole game closed to desktop giving me the error: DirextX encountered an unrecoverable error. Ive read through over 200 of these comments trying every solution related to this problem with no success.
Specs:
2.20 Ghz Intel Dual Core proccessor
1gb DDR2 ram
Realtek HD inbuilt sound card
9500GT Nvidia 512mb vid card
I have the latest drivers for my video card (180 something) as well as having the November 08 release of DirectX, I tried disabling my sound card, and keep trying each solution while running the game in safe mode to be sure. I haven’t tried changing my sound settings around or installing an older version of the video cards drivers both of which i am attempting right now. If anyone is in the same position as me and has manged to fix it i would REALLY like to know how you did it cos i just want to play!
I haven’t found a fix for my problem. Whenever I play online for a long period of time, say 2-3 hours, my game will eventually freeze and I’ll have to reset my computer. I can usually tell when it’s about to freeze, because the game will progressively start to stutter. At first it’s just a minor annoyance and barely noticeable, but it will get worse as time goes on - finally resulting in a full blown game freeze + restart.
This is a relatively new computer, I just bought it in September and it can handle the game fairly easily. The only thing I can think of that may be the problem is my onboard soundcard.

Call of Duty World at War will not save my progress, it keeps reverting to the beginning of the 3rd level (it saved the first two levels that were achieved during the first playing). Any ideas?
i got problem 6 PC - No servers showing up in the Call of Duty World at War Multiplayer lobby
i dont get how to do it
plz help me
Após exaustivas tentativas, descobri que o erro appcrach se deve a instalação do jogo ser feita online, assim deve-se desligar o cabo do modem e ficar totalmente offline para instalação, o patch 1.1 , e a troca do CoDWaW pelo crack, no caso de ser pir… Reiniciar PC.
Após tudo isso ainda offline, inicie o jogo e crie um profile em solo. Pronto é só jogar, pode-se conectar o modem novamente que não vai ter problem.
Valeu guys e boa sorte.

Response to 738- I tried everything and the game wouldn’t start until I edited the registry as ‘yozz76′ suggested (thanks to him!): http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=944197&topic=46529976&page=5.
Warning- backup your registry. Editing it can be very bad and dangerous!
“The solution lay in a very old WinXp problem. Winxp and 2k incorrectly set the drivers to EMULATED. The trouble is, it’s what directsound uses to remember whether it’s hardware or software, and my dxdiag thought I had no hardware buffer.
Try start-run-dxdiag[enter] and look at the “sound” or “sound1″ tab. If it says the device is EMULATED then this may work for you, it worked for me.
The only way to fix it is to do a regedit (Start-run “regedit”[enter]
and search (Ctrl+F) for EVERY instance of the entry “Device Presence”.
Once there, in each one there should have some or all of the following:
(Default)
Emulated
VxD
WDM
Anyways, in most of these in my registry, VxD and WDM were set to 0, and emulated was set to 1. I modified the values so Emulated read 0 and VxD and WDM read as 1. Do this for every entry, by right clicking on the value and editing. Naturally it may be wise to keep a note of original settings on each (some will be 1,0,0 others will be 1,1,1 - was for me anyway) just incase something borks and you need to reset them.
You will have to re-run DXDIAG (start-run “dxdiag”[enter]) and set the hardware accelleration back to full and test it.”
I can now start the game. I can also start trying to work around the rest of the bugs as they come along….

Call of Duty World at War, asks not to be operated behind a router. If a router must be used then it asks to enable port forwarding for ports 28930 - 28960. To learn how to enable port forwarding, check out this site:

When i want to enter the game … it throws me out and shows me the icon Send error report or don’t send… But i don’t know what’s the problem… what should i do that i can play??
In MP and on the Pc:
Game crashes suddenly when changing maps on a server and one time when leaving the game itself. Moreover, not only the game crashes, whole windows crashes with it. A very unreadable blue screen with white font is shown just prior the crash of Windows and before Windows restarts itself. When getting back on MP I noticed that there are no servers in my Favorite list any longer. Wanting to add one of the servers to this list gives me the “server name is empty” error”. Don’t know what it means, but all i know is that i saw the name of the server, the server worked fine and it was in my favorite list before.
I’m major in ranking so you can tell that this problem only occurred recently. Before the game worked perfectly (only sometimes froze when my antivirus thought it was fun to update its data.
Hi, recently spent over 2 hours to make my CoD WAW work, and i actually succeeded. Using cracked COD5.
THIS IS A SOLUTION TO ALL CREATE ACCOUNT PROBLEMS !
using _ instead of slash , forums restrict me for using slashes for folder destinations :S
1. install the game 1.0
2. apply the patch 1.1
3. download latest punk buster , just google for it , and update it.
4. WINXP : go to this directory - in my case it was -
C: _ Documents and settings _ USERNAME _ Local Settings _ Application Data _ Activision _ CodWaW _ players _ profiles
OTHER OS: not sure what are the paths , find em yourselves and continue with 5.
If you cant find the directories mentioned above , YOU NEED to create them and continue with 5.
5. DELETE all what is in there.
6. Create an empty directory named what profile you want to have, my case : KOMAP.
C: _ Documents and settings _ USERNAME _ Local Settings _ Application Data _ Activision _ CodWaW _ players _ profiles _ KOMAP
7. Create a TEXT file called Active.txt, in profiles dir.
C: _ Documents and settings _ USERNAME _ Local Settings _ Application _ Data _ ActivisionCod _ WaW _ players _ profiles _ Active.txt
Open the text file , and write your profile name inside.
8. Download X-Fire gaming software , google , download and make it work.
MAIN KEY to this method , is the X-fire. You can connect to Cracked servers through X-fire straight without even touching the profile Checker.
9. Now go to http://www.cod5waw.vcr.pl/ for a list of servers , find a server you like , and COPY its IP ORT CTRL+C
10. Go to your launched X-fire , click 2 computers to the left , select Favourites , Click a “list” button at the bottom to add new server, Select the game = Cod WaW in the list , and CTRL+V your copied IP into it.
11. Select this new added server , and press PLAY at the bottom. or just Doubleclick it.
12. There 3 options what will happen next.
a. 80% You will successfuly connect to the server and play as YOUR PROFILE ! WOOT !
b. 15 % You will get kicked to main menu , but with message : Cannot connect to online SEVICE, that will NOT set your profile to default. in this case u can just open your CONSOLE and type reconnect to connect to this server again , or just leave the game to try another server
c. 5 % You will get your usual **** error : you need a profile to play > Cancel > No and it will reset your profile to default $$$. now , you exit the game , go back to
C: _ Documents and settings _ USERNAME _ Local Settings _ Application Data _ Activision _ CodWaW _ players _ profiles
delete the $$$ folder, open Active.txt and replace $$$ with your profile name again. Save the document and try other servers.
Well thats kinda it guys , it works for me , playing for over 2 days , rarely deleting $$$ folders and changing Active.txt. just get X-Fire installed and always connect through it
KOMAP.
I’ve a problem. When i’m starting the Singleplayer .exe it says
Error during initialization:
Couldn’t load fileSysCheck.cfg. Make sure Call of Duty is run from the correct folder.

Will call of duty 5 be in english if brought in germany if your consol settings are in english?
This is for x-box 360.
hey guys….i got a problem from the very very very start…when i install the game and reach the finalizing process after the installation….the finalizing bar thingy freezes and doesn’t complete the finalizing process…please help
Please tell. I read all the posts. No one can tell me how to fix unhandled excepion during initialisation.
Did everything (got vista)
finished the game. man, the last three levels are crazy, tons of enemies are shooting at you and throwing grenades. have to carefully plan your move. Unless you are very experienced player, you would probably die many time.
I do like the background music when go to the upper level of the Reichtag.
@kalaskingen
i have the same problem in solo mode i press new game i choose difficulty and nothing happens what should i do?
i have this problem.when i am in solo i press new game choose difficulty and nothing happens.when i am in multi i join a server but after loading the game it says “you have been disconnected from the server” if anyone knows what to do plz contact me at pavlos1924@hotmail.com.
Re: 192. (and 185)
this is just a temporary solution
go to
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\yourProfilename
and delete the config file (config_mp). it will make the game start with no error. BUT! you will have to do this every time before startup
and also you will have to change your options every time.
(I hope someone with a real solution soon!)
(and i am sorry for my poor english)
I fixed the unhandled exception. Remove Vista and do a clean install. After three days trying I did this drastic measure and it was fixed

I own call of duty world at war for ps3. Problem is that when resuming a saved game,just after it loads it says error game dosent match current version of game. pisses me off. i herd that if you sign out of the network it will work, witch it did and i have been playing with it off. Later it did it agian and i almost smashed the disk. What the hell is the problem.
NEED HELP
When trying to run co-op mode instead of the game running it pops up an Internet Explorer web page saying this program cannot display the webpage. any idea why it would do that? If i try Multiplayer it works fine. Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times now. And it worked fine a week again. running Win XP.
WEIRD!!
THE SAME GAME WITH THE SAME HARDWARE IN VISTA DOES NOT CRASH!!!
drivers on both XP and VISTA : 180.48
VISTA : runs without any problem
XP : directX errors- crashes
(the only diff I can find is that in vista the audio driver is Nvidia Audio 4.66 while in xp is 4.65)
