Hello.
I got a nifty problem with both MW2 and one. I can start up the game just fine, it works perfectly for maybe 5 min tops. Then the whole screen freezes and pixelates, aka, all the colors scrambles in small squares and the whole computer freezes up. After that I need to reboot the whole thing. Tried everything, updated all there is to update, tried the solutions above, even run the game as admin and in different compatibility modes, nothing works. Any idea at all? Anyone else got this problem?
Putting DISK 1 back in wont solve the “incomplete installation….”
any other ideas?

Getting the Error: could not find zone ‘trainer.ff’
went to activision website and looked at zone related problems. followed thier directions of verifying cache data. it supposingly found 1 error and fixed it but game still gets same error. trying next step suggested which is deleting client data and downloading it from steam. the next step is to return disk and get a new one. I am not happy after paying over $60.00 for this game and learning that they spent over 200 million on advertising. They should have spent some of that on making sure thier game works or quality control whatever the issue turns out to be.
mine keeps crashing to desktop (CTD) everytime it begins to load ACT3. any ideas? i have tried stopping the in game community and installing the directx.

Hi everyone,
I just bought this game today, i was so hyped and could hardly wait to play it. Got home, installed it, registered it on steam… all fine and dandy until now. First thing i wanted to do was to join the multiplayer. Open mutiplayer black screen then the in-game main menu and freeze. Re-installed it, and still the same. Searched for my problem and found this site. It appears that alot of users have this problem or similar. I tried every single thing that they said it could work, everything and even ideas of my own, and nothing.
i’m running the game on:
Core i9
8GB DDR3
3x GTX295
i don’t think my system has any issues on running this game yet it doesn’t work. WTF???? do they even care about our problems?
If anyone managed to fix the game that has the same problem or similar please post the fix.
Thanks,
i got the installer working by using an backedup iso version
and replacing the dxsetup.exe and vcredist_x86.exe with a trainer from a game so now it launches the trainer continus with instal (steam should put 3rd party instals seperate from main installer)
I get the
ERROR:Could not fin zone “localized_common_mp.ff”
Any1 know whats wrong? Gonna try to reinstall it, but i would apriciate an answer.
//Thaampe
Hello, I can load it up and play spec ops/multiplayer fine. When I hit SP though I can watch the intro thing with the green lines the the first mission loads, after the completion of the loading bar my game minimizes itself and close…

I have reinstalled TWICE, same error
Game crashes in main menu
olo and freaktrick your not alone. i havnt had much luck with fixing the problem either. let me know if you find anything.
thanks
Has quite recently completed the campaign (under 5 hrs). Game works fine during SP and SpecOps. But when launching MP I get a “Run in safe mode” message, saying the game didn’t quit properly last time it ran. I try both yes and no, and both end up with the message “ERROR: Could not find zone ‘common_mp.ff’”
I ain’t getting any further than that. Any ideas ?

Hi Guys,
Trying to play multiplayer online however this error is appearing.
error: could not find zone ‘localized_common_mp.ff’
any help would be great. thanks
The game keeps freezing at the menu. If I try single player I have to skip the opening logo animation/cutscene or it will freeze there. Once at the menu I can move mouse around a bit before it randomly freezes and I have to task manager close the game. Then trying mutliplayer it just starts frozen at the menu. I have updated graphics drivers, and my system is plenty good enough to handle this game. I tried all the fixes for “Problem #3″ and still the problem persists. I am going to go try reinstall now. If you guys could help with this problem, it’d be great, thanks.
Question
I am getting a zone file error at launch or during gameplay.
Answer
Zone file errors are most likley due to a bad install or corrupt game files.
* You can verify the integrity of the game files in the Steam client. In the Steam client right-click on the game and select properties. Click on the local files tab and click the “Verify integrity of game cache” button. You will need to do this for the single player and multiplayer game executables.
* If that does not work you can try to delete the game content and re-download it from Steam. In the Steam client right-click on the game and select “Delete Local Content”. Once you have deleted the content you will need to re-download the content through the Steam client. You will need to do this for the single player and multiplayer game executables.
* If that does not help then you may have a bad disc. Try replacing the game at the store you bought it at. Remember that if you replace the disc you will need to completely uninstall and re-install the game.
If the game still does not work after uninstalling and replacing the disc then you may have a bad piece of hardware like a bad harddrive or stick of RAM. In this case you will have to contact your computer manufacturer to find out how to test and replace any hardware that may be failing.
Didnt help me the first time though :S So i trying to reinstall the game.

What to do??
Anyone else getting an error at the last level inbetween the boat scene and the final boss scene? I’m getting pissed off. I’ve tried everything from verifying to reinstalling twice but it still hasn’t fixed the problem. I thought it might be the error with the zone files but it may not be the case. I have no idea what to do. I can’t even check my error cause I can’t minimize and check what the error message says. I always have to control+atl+delete.
Hi,
I’m having a problem with Modern Warfare 2 ingame. The game levels load up fine no problems but randomly ingame at a certain point, the game starts to lag and black squares start to show up around certain textures. The game then freezes and this ingame error message appears: “Insufficient memory, free at least 5mb”. The game then shuts down and when I fire the game up again, my single player campaign resets and i’m back at the first mission again (which is really weird because all my savegames are still in the ‘player’ folder with the Steam directory). I’ve got all the settings maxed out and I experience no lag until this error occurs. I have never had this problem with COD 4: modern warfare and run this game with all the settings maxed out with no lag whatsoever. Can anyone help me out with this??
System specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.6Ghz)

I have tried lowering my settings and yes that does seem to make things easier but there’s no way with a system like this I should be having to run this game with the lowest settings.
(Btw, I have like 30GB free on my HDD so before anyone suggests the obvious, i’e already tried it.)
By the way, the problem I had with the “missing” file (Common_mp.ff). It is actually located in the game folder. Well… beats me. Any ideas ?
HA! I can’t even start the stupid game! I am pissed. I just spent 130 bucks on the PC and PS3 version.
i can’t play the multiplayer..
ERROR: could not find zone ‘localized_common_mp.ff’
please tell me how to fix this, i have tried: steam->properties->verify integrity of gamecache. it says 1 fail. hmm can someone help me cause im gettin kinda pissed off about this. just want to play the game, instead of having stupid errors.
During the intro video, after the “5 years later” my game crash, and i get this error message: could not find zone “trainer.ff”
i tried the verify the integrity of the game option, and it tells me i had a corrupt file that was replace. It still wont work, and every time i run the test it replaces a file…every time… nothing is working and i have looked all over the internet. A LOT of people have the same problem, NO solutions…
I get a message when loading multiplayer
Error: Could not find zone ‘localized common_mp.ff’
appreciate any anwsers
I’m having problems installing, after inserting disc one, sitting up a Steam account and then choosing the location for the install i’m stuck on;
“Creating local game cache files
Preparing Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 files for install…”
With the bars fully loaded, been like this for 3 hours, is it supposed to take this long?
After the mission “Endgame”, there is a moment that the game is loading something on a black screen. This loading wont be succeeded but shows the following error;
“Create2DTexture(javelin_spec-rgb&javelin_cos-\-67, 2048, 1024, 0, 894720068) failed:8007000e = Ran out of memory”
I want to fix this and play rest of this game. This error is so mean…:(
Crashing when it tries to load the first mission. Game loads, can select campaign, credits start and once it goes to load the first mission it crashes to the desktop. I’ve tried all the tips above; adjusted res, lowered sound acc, updated dx and nothing is working.
Yes. too many errors loading
single player missions that show up with
” Ran out of memory ” and dont let you continue with the history. FIX IT!
Every time I launch from desk top the game freezes and i get the not responding message. I went in the files to reinstall the dx file and it gives me a un trusted file and wont install
I cant launch the game
my computer is powerfull enough
16 gb ram
9800gt nvidia

and 800w powersupply

but steam is downloading the game altough i bought it from my local computer game store, so its update-ing but i cant do anything about it, can anyone please help me?

Anyone have the fix for this?
Hi
For people having the “PREPARING CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 FILES FOR INSTALL” problem.. Browsing your game disk and running the “setup.exe” file as administrator does solve this issue (this is done by right clicking the “setup.exe” icon). The joys of vista and windows 7.
im getting the “incomplete installation” this is my third install and tried putting disc 1 back in at the end, no help
Hello,
The game crashes while loading after the dive over the waterfall in ‘Endgame’.
I shoulda guessed when i say steam while installing thered be issues!! But getting the same issue as other when starting multiplayer:
ERROR: Could not find zone ‘common_mp.ff’
Well any updates on this one?
I should have guessed when i saw Steam was involved with this one there would be issues!!I am getting the same issue as others when starting multiplayer:
ERROR: Could not find zone ‘common_mp.ff’
Well any updates on this one?
My single player works fine but when I load multiplayer I get this message,
ERROR: Could not find zone ‘localized_common_mp.ff’
So annoying, please help.
i get a error of missing the map of favela 0____O
I run the game fine, the spec op mission things work but when I start the campaign it goes through the intro credits & then the loading bar gets to like 99% or 100% and it CTD with no error. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
Windows 7 x64, game has ran near perfectly. Laptop overheated and shut down at the ending of the *spoilers* favela escape (when you fall off the building), and when i restarted there was a directx error, closing the game. Restarted the game, and now the opening cutscene (with the people talking and the map) crashes before the game can load for that mission. Help? I tried updating directx, didn’t work. Safe mode on MW2 didn’t help either.
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ERROR: Could not find zone ‘localized_common_mp.ff’
TRY THIS
Right click on the game in Steam > Properties > Local Files > Verify Local Cache
IM AT WORK SO CANT TRY THIS…..TRY IT AND LET US KNOW HOW YOU GO.
I’m having the same problem dave. I can play the spec ops but not the campaign. It cant be a system problem, so it has to be something else. FU infinty ward, thx for this POS game.
my problem is i will launch MW 2 multiplayer and it will do start and then hold on black screen untill the progam is fource terminated by user. i have done the suggested trouble shooting by activision and i do have the minimum and then some requierments i have also ran the MP before. any tips or ideas will be grate or if any one else with same thing has the same issues and wishes to descuss here is the place and ” why did activision chose steam” steam = FAIL and yes it is only the multiplayer that dose this my single player work maxed out settings with relitively no fps issues what maxes matters worse the multiplaer was the first thing i ran upon stalling but changed my mined and played single but upon returning to MP it crashed.

Is I believed linked to Piracy.. I had some stupid stand alone patch installed to no longer required Steam for an older game I used to play. Once I removed that stand alone patch the game works fine multiplayer.
I’m getting freezing at the IW logo in single player mode, and freezing at the menu for multiplayer too. I already finished single player, played a couple rounds of spec ops, then played multiplayer for a couple hours. I quit and now I can’t get past the menus

Im getting the exact same error as Wolfer and peter, on the very last mission and on random mp maps, some work, some dont.
this is the exact error message

I also got that error on the VERY last mission of the game. I am now getting it when I try to load any MP maps. I quickfixed the problem by decreasing my resolution to 1024×768 and lowering my texture settings but now the game looks like shit…
I have a rather good video card nvidia gtx 260
4GB of RAM
and windows 7.
I can normally play the game without any sort of choppiness whatsoever. I was able to play MP last night on launch and it would shut down maybe once every 4 or so maps, now I cant do anything. my roommate was also getting the same issue but he no longer is. This is extremely aggravating.
Lucas: They did something in a update today making the solution for problem #3 useless. I have the same problem but have been able to use the solution up until some hours ago.
What are your hardware specs?
Mine are:
Q6600 + 8800GTS
Every time I load up the multiplayer version (havent checked the singleplayer one yet) my ingame mouse freezes and I can’t get past the menu, I can still hear the sound. I got past it once, and the game ran perfectly fine, but when I tried to load the game up again after I quit the same thing happened, mouse freezes at the menu. I’ve tried all the fixes listed here but none seems to work so far…
Anyone know how to fix this?
@Olo and Luca, the ones with the mouse problems. I just figured out a “fix”. After the mouse freezes just wait – dont shut the game or computer down, after a minute or 2 it will unfreeze and you can start playing. This was said by an admin over at the official forums, and it actually worked. It’s still a neusance though, but atleast this’ll let you play the game.
Everyone who got the following error, listen up:
Error during initialization:
Couldn’t create a 1024 x 2048 render target surface: Wrong texture format
Aside from verifying the integrity of your game cache through steam, you need to update your graphics card driver. Doing so through Windows Device Manager didn’t seem to do it for me, so I went to the NVIDIA website and downloaded an update for my driver (I have an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600). I’m not really sure what happened, but my screen flickered a little bit during the installation. After the installation was finished, I ran the game and it now works fine, I didn’t even have to reboot the computer.
This is just one suggestion. I am by no means a computer expert, so your actual experience may vary.
UPDATE!!!!!
For those who get the
Error: Could not find zone ‘localized_common_mp.ff’ error
do this on steam right click MW2 MP and hit properties and verify the files. this worked for me
THANKS TO ADRAIN WHO PROVIDED THIS ANSWER!!!
After the mission “Endgame”, there is a moment that the game is loading something on a black screen. This loading wont be succeeded but shows the following error;
“Create2DTexture(javelin_spec-rgb&javelin_cos-\-67, 2048, 1024, 0, 894720068) failed:8007000e = Ran out of memory”
I have tried restarting, restarting PC, trying in normal and in “safe” mode. No luck. I have a very robust PC (Dual Core, 4gb RAM, 768mb nVidia card) Please help.
Trying to install from discs and the installer gets about 100mb into the install, but no further. Est time remaining just goes up and up, but no files seem to be written. PC stops responding and Ctrl-Alt-Delete does nothing. Eventually it either blue screens or I have to hold the power button down. Running Windows Vista SP1.
Computer:
Core i7 Extreme
Vista 64
6 Gigs Corsair
Dual 280 GTX 1 gig SLi
And I cant get passed IW start window.
Ive done all the troubleshooting steps.
My question is what was the purpose of
Beta testing? Apparently it wasnt done
on a wide variety of machines.
Any ideas what it will take to fix this issue?
Respectfully…
I installed COD Modern Warfare 2 without problems. I played single player for approximately 10 minutes then suddenly, the monitor screen went black and powered down. I had to do a hard reboot in order to bring everything back. I believe I’ve updated all of my drivers, Direct X is current to August of this year. After updating Direct x, I was able to play the game until I reached the level where I’m climbing up an icy mountain, and again, the monitor went black and powered down. Granted, the PC is still running but nothing more. I currently have Radeon 3850 and I believe I’ve updated everything there as well. Im running out of options and may be forced to turn it in to a professional for assistance. Any help, appreciated.

Solution to Zone bug. (or if you can’t tell it’s the error sound and black screen).
You can first try verifying game files under the game properties from My Games tab in steam. This found a bad file and “replaced” it without really replacing it.
Go to Steam/steamapps/common/modern warfare/zone/ and delete the .ff causing the problem. Then reverify. This will really download a new version and decrypt it. Everything should run fine.
UPDATE
Fixed my install problem by disabling McAfee (d’oh! Should have thought of that!), and removing some older games from PC. Not sure which of those did it (McAfee, probably) but game install now seems to work. PC also seems more stable and starts up quicker. Hmm…
Reference Craig — November 11, 2009 @ 11:34 am. I appreciate the advice given. I verified and it completed the verification with the following message:
1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired. However, due to my own ignorance, I am not finding the specified area you mentioned on the steam website. I logged into my account but I cannot find where I would select Steam/Steamapps/Common/Moderwarfare/zone/.
Got the same problem as few here — got up to Oilrig, and after a crash I can’t play campaign at all, but Ops work fine.
Not that the game is even good but I’d like to finish this campaign.
Joshua
It’s a file path. [Drive that steam is on]\program files\steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\zone\ directory.
I’m also getting the out of memory error when loading a multiplayer map. Sometimes I can go a few map cycles before it happens.
“Create2DTexture(javelin_spec-rgb&javelin_cos-\-67, 2048, 1024, 0, 894720068) failed:8007000e = Ran out of memory”
I’m starting to think the game has a memory leak bug.
Hello again, Craig — November 11, 2009 @ 12:07 pm
Ive located what you were talking about. Im now at the point where I’ve entered file entitled, “Zone” from which I entered a file entitled, “English.” The problem now is determining which file is corrupt or should I just erase all of them and reverify so that it can upload the correct files?
Joshua
You could delete all of them, but it would significantly add to your redownload time.
Instead, crash the game again and hit ctrl-alt-delete and go to task manager. In the applications tab you can click the game and “End process”, this should close the game and allow you to alt-tab to the error message from windows showing you which .ff file it’s failing on. Also if its right as you start the campaign it will be trainer.ff, or right after the rooftop running mission it’s arcadia.ff
If you can’t do that, yes you can delete everything.
Also for ps3, if you notice a freeze when you die, turn off the ps3 and UNPLUG it. this will reset memory and such. might be a memory leak in the game, because it worked fine, then after deaths it took more and more time to load. finaly it began to crash on every death, and i mean every death in any mode (didnt try multiplayer yet). So goodluck to all

^^^ WTF? please help
For anyone having trouble with SP or MP freezing upon starting the game (splash screen or thereabouts):
The game appears to have frozen, but if you leave it for a few minutes the game will begin to run again. For me it was about 3-5 minutes maximum each time.

Single player was really choppy and laggy.
try to play Multiplayer, get the “Run in Safe-Mode,” then it crashes. Since there is no dedicated servers, I don’t really care if it’s fixed.
i honestly don’t know how to fix it but…. i can play single player all day, i go to play Multiplayer and before it even loads the program itself goes into the whole “Not Responding” bullshit and i have to pull up the task manager, close it and go about my way of not being able to play the most important part of the game…… ITS MULTIPLAYER ASPECT!
Hello, i have a vista 64, with radeon 5650 graphics, 8GB. and plenty memory. when i pop the disk in, the autorun program will not run. i tried it on my laptop and it worked, but it doesnt even start up on my PC. PLZ HELP!

Just when the rio map is about to load it CTD and an window with the name ERROR apears with the message
“Message : Could not find zone favela.ff”.
I had the exact same problem, then I got a friend to upload Favela.ff for me. When I replaced the old favela with the new one, it crashes instead of giving that error.
PLEASE FIND A SOLUTION!

Hey guys i downloaded game played training,1 mission teamwork and on end game crash do desktop without crash log ,nothing then if i want play campiagn when loading bar it crashes every time too i dont know what is this ? solo play works… where is problem if i can play first hour?
i’m also getting the error after the boat level. i got it to show once and it says the messege about 2dtexture and not enough memory. i tried re-verifiying and it says 1 file failed and will re-aquire and when i verify again it keeps saying that one file failed. what is going on here?
so here is a solution if you have an ATI X1950 (Pro) and Windows 7 and can’t read anything in the game (part of Problem 6). Uninstall everything from ATI (Drivers, Control Center) Restart. Install this latest (inofficial) driver http://www.au-ja.de/files-warning.phtml?kategorie=driver&dwlfile=ati/9-8_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc.exe restart und now it should work.
DirectX audio problem on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)
Error says “C:\Windows\system32\XAudio2_1.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. etc…”
Comes up on install (fatal) AND at program launch (not fatal).
Workaround for Installing (found elsewhere online)
1 – install Steam if you don’t already have it
2 – exit steam (File > Exit)
3 – in a run box (windows key + r) type the following:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe” -install D:
Include the quotes and change ‘D:’ to be your DVD drive if you have to
Workaround for running once installed
1 – the game will run after steam tries and fails to install DirectX again… probably because you’ve already got DX11 installed. It’s just a PITMFA having to wait.
Hey guys, I get error when i open game, everything works fine (installation etc…) but when i open game all the text (except the big MW2 banner) is distorted and I have no idea what it says. Really annoying me because i got into game and graphics is all cool but all words are distorted…
I am getting an error right when COD starts. At the initial multiplayer screen my game freezes, I cannot move my arrow, the music continues to play normally in the background, and I got no error message. I always have to Ctr-Alt-delete the program because Windows deems it “not responding.”
I am using Windows XP with a 8800GT graphics card if it means anything.
Thanks
I Have the same problem as above!
Any solution?
Hey iJ, I just validated the files though steam, now it works perfectly.
My error is after completing the full install, which installs with no problems at all, no errors or anything like that. When I click to start the game, absolutely nothing happens, nothing in the task manager or anything. Anything I may have done wrong, cos my computer is more than up to the task.

I had problems with all texts – they were unreadable cause of their colourfull pixelosis (i don’t know hot to explain it better). I’ve got Radeon X1900XTX and Windows 7 RC and downloading drivers from AMD site helped.
Now my game just freezes after few minutes (not in multiplayer) – e.g. I run and screen goes black (It seems like monitor doesn’t get any signal, cause it goes to power saving mode) but I hear background music that was played last (not looped as it was crash, but as it was in game, without any sounds of environment). Nothing helps but turning computer off (restart turns computer off, but it doesn’t turn on properly).
Hi,
my game crashed in the loading screen after the mission Endgame. I heard a nice windows error sound and i’ve got a blackscreen. The major problem is that i can’t read the error message cause of the blackscreen… can you help me?
I also tried to fix that problem with reinstalling direct x from dvd or steamapps…

It hasn’t been doing this all along.
I’m also having the crash after the single player mission “EndGame” just like 149 Jutro. Also, after that mission crash, I seem to be getting the same crash when I try and load a MP map. Please help, this is killing me. =(

Hiya, I can play the Special Ops part without problems on highest resolutions. But when I launch the campaign mode it shows me the first cutscene and then the loading screen with shepherd talking.

Hi there guys!
i got a small problem,
in the 3rd mission, where ur some sort of undercover agent killing innocent ppl, my game freezes after 1 dude of my team trows a nade into a lift. The message i get is something with the temporary savegame. ‘Could not create TempSavegame’ or something like that. And because of that error, my game stops, and i got trown back to my desktop >.<’
I hope you guys have a solution for me! (in the trainingmission i got this error too, but after replaying the mission, it was gone. But this error on the 3rd mission keeps appearing…

have the same problem as #155 and some other ones I noticed.
Played the game fine for 6 hours straight then it froze randomly. Had to restart the computer manually.
After reboot started MW2, pup up window says it didn’t run properly last time and I should run in safe mode. I chose not to and the game loads properly to the starting screen. It works fine for about 3-6 seconds then mouse freezes on the screen and I can’t minimize. I can ctr-alt-delete to bring up task manager and then stop the frozen game.
I have tried everything listed here to no avail.

TO FIX THIS turning textures down from “extra” to “high” should work, at least it did for me and my friend

- Use new Nvidia or Standard (for me ZOTAK) driver
- Nvidia PhisX is installed?
- Validate the Game over steam (cache-files)
for me it says everytime that one file is missing
and need to be download
- is there CPU/ RAM monitoring Programs running
like Logitech G19 Performance Monitor

So now a post to IW (InfinityWard) and all GAMERS:
The GAME itself is very good and playing it makes fun.
BUT .. the other “Inventions” – like no Dedicated and so on
made me feel like LaborRat in testing this shit.
So many money was spend for the game (i hope) and what comes:
BAD “BURNED” GAME CDS (DVDS)
BAD programming on NAT, MP, …
BAD Friend management (Invite to game wich is full in 2 sec)

like me
This all belongs just to the PC comunity
Sry for bad english..
I’m getting the same error as 162. The way I’ve been able to get it to work is to minimize the game and then reopen it back up and change your resolution to whatever you want. Theres about a 1% chance of this working as it usually just goes to not responding and stays there with this error.

Also I don’t believe MW2 runs on punkbuster so I don’t see how it could be a solution to any problem.
Hey there. I have been experiencing problems as aformentioned in “Problem 2.” I have vista and followed the advice to the tee but, no luck. It repeats:

Have there been any developments or new successful methods since???

Hi, I had endless problems trying to install the game, kept hanging at preparing files and never actually copied any at all.
My solution was to uninstall AVG and Daemon Tools, rebooted, and then it worked first time!
maybe this might help someone else
lol how annoying is this? im at the second to last level where u go down the waterfall in a boat, after u drown or whatever there is a loading screen and it loads then whole game crashes with a error msg saying A error Create2DTexture error lol cheers steam and acitvision u fkn neebs ( the rest of the game is awsome tho)
Ok For the guys who have crash at first mission loading ( “after 5 years “;)
I downloaded this : http://mininova.org/tor/3138718
Copy paste all the files in FILES in your game directory.
Then the game will work good
Enjoy this game !

The message i get is something with the temporary savegame. ‘Could not create TempSavegame’ or something like that. And because of that error, my game stops, and i got trown back to my desktop >.<’
I hope you guys have a solution for me! (in the trainingmission i got this error too, but after replaying the mission, it was gone. But this error on the 3rd mission keeps appearing…”

THANK YOU GUYS FOR HELPING US BY COLLECTING THE ERRORS AND SOLUTIONS HERE!
it helped me twice (setup failed and game shutdown after mission).
keep on!
Hey for all those out there that get an error sound then a black screen after loading a mission, a possible fix for this is to lower your video settings. My computer can run the game easily on highest video settings but for some reason after the zodiac mission where you go over the waterfall it bugs out, does not give an error message, just an error sound and black screen.

COD MW2 Freezes when ever i clock on multi player? (PS3)
So after spending many hours browsing the internet and finally getting the fucking game to even INSTALL (stupid Steam) and suffering multiple random crashes, I’ve finally hit a dead end. I’m on the mission where you ride a boat trying to catch a certain person and sure enough, like many other peeps here the game crashes when it tries to load the next scene / mission once you hit the water.
I tell you this; I’ve lost all respect for Infinity Ward. From the decision to not have dedicated servers for PC to the myriad of problems affecting PC users of MW2, I’m never buying a product of theirs again until they DITCH Activision as a publisher. They’re ruining WoW and now the COD name, enough is enough.

(Can’t Remember name of mission, but it is where you are at the white house)
I Play The Mission, Just About To Walk into house, and then it freezes (Every Time).

Problem #2 : Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Crashing to desktop at startup/launch
My game freezes every time I start it. For multiplayer, I can get to the main screen, and then it simply locks up and I have to ctrl+alt+delete, and sometimes have to completely restart my computer by holding the power button.
Single player, I can’t get past the 2nd screen (one right after infinity ward logo)
I far exceed the minmum system requirements, and I’ve tried everything the thing said…
Help?
Please can someone point me in the right direction to sort all of my COD games i have them all and they all use to work until one day i just got a black screen and no game menu. I gave up trying to solve my problem when i heard of MW2 coming out and thought that would work fine however after installing it, it has the same problem. I heard some people say about it maybe being my sound card software not being liked but i haven’t managed to solve it. So please can someone end my sadness i need COD back in my life !!!
Thanks
Joe
Hey guys, chris was right. I just had to wait for a couple of minutes and then the game started normally. It isn’t ideal by any means but I can play the game… good luck with all the fixes…
My Game crashed, i did CTRL ALT DEL and then it became windowed mode.
As you may know, there is no window / full screen options to select WITHIN the game video settings
Now I am stuck on window mode.
How do I get back into playing in full screen mode?
Note: there is no Min/Maximise on the game window when windowed mode, just an X to close it.
Hey, just brought Mw2 and played some campaign then tryed multiplayer and get
Error:could not find zone ‘localized_common_mp.ff’
any ideas?
Specs: Windows Vista 64 bit, Intel Q6600 2.4ghz Quad Core, 6 gig Ram, nVidia G260
Problem: Processor randomly spikes to 100% on menu screen (mouse skips) and in game (only multiplayer), causing video lag that lasts a few seconds at a time. It seems to happen a lot when zooming in with a sniper, but can occur at any random time in multiplayer.
Updated Drivers, made sure everything is running cool, also tried everything listed in Problem #3 – seems a handful of others out there are having the same issue.
just to let everyone know, after validating my install through steam it would not let me play. kept going to validationg and then crashing. restarted and re validated. finally works correctly lol
So, I had the exact same issue with CoD4 Modern Warfare 1. This problem only showed up after I had been playing MW1 a long time. It also only happens when I am playing multiplayer. It is the exact symptoms other people have had.. the game just freezes at random places while I am playing. Shuts down, and I have to hit the restart button on my case to reboot it EVERY time. I have tried every solution posted, even tried playing it in windows mode, but It still crashed and locked up and required a reboot. Any help here? This seems a common problem with no solutions to date for some of us.. I literaly have tried every posted suggestion to fix this.
Keep getting multiple disc errors on install. Abort, retry, ignore. If I ignore them all it gets through the install but when loading it seems to encounter errors. Have tried on a backup pc and it installed fine though the pc is to crap to run it well. Have tried installing multiple times and on another dvd drive and the error seems random as in it doesnt happen at the same spot each time. Any ideas?
UPDATE:
For those having problems with the “common_mp.ff” / “localized_ common_mp.ff” error. If you tried: Right click on the game in Steam > Properties > Local Files > Verify Local Cache and found that it one file failed and needs to be retrieved.
I had this problem, and the file was in the right folder but it wouldn’t recognize it. I eventually uninstalled MW2 and steam + deleted all steam files, and the installed the game again. This worked for me. Note: if you insert the cd the autorun will come up and give the following options: play game, uninstall, reinstall… the reinstall option did not work for me.
This is my only steam game, so it wasn’t a biggy for me, and i don’t know if you would need to delete the steam folder (maybe just MW2 folder) to get this to work.
Update your video card driver & direct X, this should take care the “Couldn’t create a 1024 x 2048 render target surface: Wrong texture format” problem
i installed the game fine but than i try to play the game and it doesnt even come up i keep getting mw2 didnt run right the last time play in safe mod ive sayd yes and no and both times it doesnt do anything what do i do
Currently experiencing Windows 7 Beta RC error, when I launch the installer, it tries running DirectX installer but fails. It says : Microsoft DirectX installer has stopped working. I have also had the same error with DoW 2 but was able to install and play the game just by skipping the error. Thought the installer won’t let me do so as it will say that the install script has failed.
I’ve fixed the “ran out of memory” error by changing the “Texture Quality” to “Automatic”. MW2 doesn’t crash anymore.
My specs are:
Vista Ultimate SP2 32-bit
2.75GB RAM
GTX280 1GB (driver 191.07)
Core 2 Duo E6850 3GHz
Hope it helps.
random freezes – can it be caused by the GPU overheating?
Crash during startup solution (SP and MP)
Hi guys, quick msg before i go to work, last night i had a lot of troubles trying to play mw2, during startup MP, i got to the menu but there my cursor was stuck, sound was playing but i couldn’t do anything but CTRL-ALT-DEL. tried everything.
Solution is just to WAIT 3 minutes, then the menu simply works normally.
For SP this is the same, it crashed during startup at the IW-logo, but sound played, after about 4 minutes waiting during the crash, it started playing normally…
This is only a temp fix but at least i get to play normally, hoping a patch will fix this permanently.
Solution for the loading crash in the Endgame mission. If you have your graphic settings on “Extra” switch them to “High”… I thought that’s a joke but it fixed the problem …
“Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has stopped responding” in windows vista.
Hi, I have a problem, whenever i got to change any video settings, such as the resolution in game, it will restart then say, Directx has encountered a Unrecoverable error, so im stuck at the default settings which is much lower then my computer is capable of.
I fixed a little problem my self… By inserting your CD1, u can avoid the ‘incomplete installation (53)’ error in singleplayer. Maybe worth a try
Like all the old call of duty games you have to insert your cd to play SP. Wierd they give a ‘incomplete installation’ error instead of ‘please insert your CD’ though 
Goodluck guys! I’m off gaming
i cant install COD modern warfare 2. i am running windows xp, i have enough disk space, SLI 8800gt video cards…what should i do?
When i start to play modern warfare 2, the words in the campaign/multiplayer/spec ops menu is really really blurry and i really really cant read it. It also includes the subtitles too.
Modern Warfare 2 lockups and reboot needed, found catalyist AI was on. turned it off games works now. Im using two HD4890 in crossfire
hey guys i maked a picture of my error

dirext x or what i have update all shit cus dunno what it is
please mail me

Another possible fix is if you run an Anti-keylogger program or a program like/or “Spyware doctor” then it will detect the Multiplayer client as a KEYLOGGER and will crash you to the desktop or freeze/lockup. To fix this add the MP .EXE file to your allow list via the program that is misinterpreting the Multiplayer .exe (online game) or disable whilst playing the online part of the game.
I personally had this problem and could not play online it would crash me to my desktop everytime until I discovered my spyware doctor was reading the multiplayer part of the game as a keystroke logger.
Now I can play, so please try it.
Hey my problem is that the game freezes every time I open it, I’ve tried the above but nothing seems to work unless I am doing it wrong.

This has taken up near 5 hours for me now. Please poke me with your answers.

!!!! I FOUND THE SOLUTION FOR THE CRASH TO DESKTOP !!!!
I changed my shortcut on my desktop to start the application in 640×480 in the properties in the compatibility tab.
Then I started MW2 and chose Spec Ops.
I changed my resolution to the lowest in Options and I also set al the textures to lowest etc.
I went back to main menu and then started the campaign!!
Success
Btw: I changed my settings back to full resolution etc. after loading etc.
Please help, i have a very decent computer but when i run MW2, the monitor will lose signal after 10-20 mins of game play every time. The computer is still running, i can hear the fan spinning, i can open the cd rom, but ctrl +alt+ del wont’ work. The light on my monitor change from green to yellow. I’ve tried to update the latest graphic driver which i’m using 9600gt 512m, i have 4gb ram, quad 3.0 cpu running in windows 7. I had the same issue running in windows vista. I’ve tried to lower the resoultion in game to 1024×768 which didn’t help also.
I’ve tried more and more fixes, nothing works. I can rarely complete a full multi player match now without the screen freezing and me having to reboot the entire computer. Any help?

For the text problems in game play. Google “Download 3.0 shader” and it will direct you to a sight for your video card to be updated.
If anyone knows why I can play multi player with full screen and not single player????? For some reason I can’t get single player to pay full screen,it will only play in windows mode.. Please help
The game was working fine for about two days. Then all of a sudden started freezing about three seconds into startup for both muliplayer and singleplayer. Ive verified files with steam and everytime it has found one that was bad and redownloaded it. However, this never helped. So I unistalled the game and reinstalled it and have been having the same problem with it freezing at startup. For that day or so, I loved the game and I’m really frusterated that I cant get it to work. Everytime I enter tast manager, the game is not responding and I have to end task. It says that the error is with the iw4sp.exe file for singleplayer and the iw4mp.exe file for multiplayer. Can you guys please help me solve this issue. I did pay $60 dollars for it and it stopped working.
I do have to say though that it was an amzing game for that day or so that it would run. My PC is powerful enough and i was able to play it on all seeting set to extra and it ran without a hitch.
Im trying to talk this out with Activision support, but they’re taking so long! The part that i dont get is how after working for hours, it stopped, even after reinstall.
If you can help me, please email the solution to me. Changing my video settings works fine in Singleplayer, but when I start up the Multiplayer I can’t change any of my video settings. I try to change the graphics all to Extra (instead of two being High) and my resolution to 1440×900 instead of 1024×768, since it doesn’t even fit my screen in 1024. When I click “apply” the game minimizes and seems to close altogether, but it says it is still running in my task manager?
My dvd rom driver won’t read the install disk! It keeps crashing my computer. I put other disks into my driver and my computer reads them fine but not the new Call of Duty. Any ideas on how to fix? I can’t even manually install it from the driver
I insert disk into my DVD. It goes through a few files,The agreement page then goes to a steam setup page, WHERE IT WILL SIT FOR A LONG TIME then it just shuts down the install. I have a steam account already. It is really starting to pi$$ me off. Anyone got any ideas. I am running a quad core system with dual 8800 gt’s and 4 gig of ram. It plays every other game with no problems. Help me before I smash this piece of crap game into a million pieces.
I was having problem with MW2 Crash error after boat mission but now I have solved it. Every time when I finished the boat mission and was waiting to load the next mission, my MW2 would crash with a error sound then black screen. There wasn’t much possibility to see the error message as well. For fixing the error I just changed to “Automatic Setting” in Advanced Video Setting inside the Option section of the game.
Just for Info, when I was trying to fix the error I tried to “verify integrity of game cache” in steam and it didn’t work. Every time I did it, steam would show I have got 1 damaged file and it would try to repair by reinstalling that particular file.
Well if the both option on top didn’t work for you then I would try finding the corrupt file by noting down which file is causing the problem in error pop up. After that I would delete that file from the MW2 directory then would try “verify integrity of game cache” in steam so that it would reinstall a fresh file. If you had installed the game from the DVD then the last resort would be by deleting the game completely then reinstalling by downloading from steam.
Hope this helps.
Firstly in reply to TAGE or others seeing the same error:
error “Incomplete Installation” ..are you running windows Vista with UAC enabled? User Account Control can be disabled in control panel under User Accounts.
Do this and you’ll need to reboot the pc and then try to launch the game again, this alone can fix the problem for some, if not then delete the game content from within Steam.
To do this;
Right click on the name of the game in your “Games” list in Steam, select Properties then “Delete Local Game Content”
Start again with Disc 1, this time don’t use the auto run to install, instead go to start/computer/right click on the drive containing the disc, select Open,
locate the setup application file and right click on it choosing “Run as Administrator” … let the game install.
You may still see the Incomplete error again or a different error about steam login details, exit steam and reboot the pc, when booted up now right click the desktop shortcut to the game and again select “Run as Administrator” …DONE, your game should now load up and work.
If it were up to me the Directors of IW and Activision should be charged with defrauding the public. When you knowingly sell something that doesn’t work they and their companies should be fined and have to refund every unsatisfied customers money back. Right now this game is a piece of SHIT. I will NEVER buy a CoD game ever again, And to make it worse I bought my kid one for his 360 and it dont work either. POS GAME.
For all experiencing the memory error issue after the boat mission – if you’re running everything in ‘extra’, turn textures down to ‘high’. This immediately fixed the problem for me. Turned back to ‘extra’ when in Spec Ops or Multi with no problems.
To fix problem #6, update your graphics cards by going to this website and finding the update that will fit your card.

As soon as I start up the game in either multiplayer or single player it freezes and does not respond. I was able to get the game to play in single player before and it ran just fine but now as soon as the game starts it will play the intro audio and part of the animation then freeze. I tried every possible solution.

HERE IS THE FIX FOR THE FROZEN STARTUP LOGO ERROR:
Just let the frozen logo stay there for 2-4 minutes and then game will start working.
Same problem as a couple of others.
Major text corruption/distortion/garbling across the whole game.
I have pretty much the same setup as donal up there.
Running this one vista. Drivers for the x1600 are in legacy mode now tho at ATI. So no “new” drivers. Did an uninstall / reinstall anyways to no avail. Also installed dx9 and c++ redist just in case. Also nada.
If i can’t get it to work i’ll try either win 7 or xp later but i doubt it will work. So lame.
Hey, my game works perfect, but ctd with NO error message in the “For The Record” level when it tries to auto-save after entering the cafe with the computers and stuff. all drivers and dx and everything is up to date

same problem as comment #230 up there…
I can change the resolution in SP no problem…. but when i change the resolution in MP mode, i guess i tries to change it then just freezes at a black screen…. EVERYTIME… only in MP mode.. Thanks for the help if you can…
I waited on the sp mode when it froze and it eventually startead up… but that same strategy did not work on the mp mode. Any ideas?
For people that’re having problems loading the last mission “endgame” from Act 3 and get a crash with a error message. Try this, I got it from the forums at http://www.gamefaqs.com credit goes to manco_ayi “try to go into steam, select the single player and right click, properties, local files, and then verify the integrity of the game cache. it will most likely say 1 file failed verification and then download it. do it for multiplayer too and try the last level again”
His advice worked for me and I’m finishing the game now!
Hey i am having a problem when i start the game for SP it give the intro and when it is loading it just cut off with no error

thank you
i get the error message : Could not find zone favela.ff”. as soon as the load screen is loaded and i click to continue… need help, does anyone have a solution to this
from reading above posts it seems like a reoccurring problem so could someone plz look into it?? would be much appreciated.
and again the error message is
Could not find zone favela.ff”.
For [NRP] Charlie, Post 266.
Please try as I did. Try my Post 254 which might work for you as well. Basically what you do is you turn the Advanced Video setting to “Automatic Setting or all to High Setting”.
Even with all my High PC Specifications with latest nvidia GTX295 2GB DDR3, I still had to turn it down in order to skip the error after that mission.
Hope this helps.

Guys, I experienced the same problem as I already have in COD WaW, my games run normally, but about 5-10 minutes of game, its freezes my entire PC! How can I proceed? I have the latest sound, video, punkbuster, Direct X, steam drives…
Hi,
I got a pretty good rig, i7, ati hd 4870, p6t deluxe, 6gb ram and so on but the game laggs or rather glitches on some maps, like in multiplayer I can play for instance Afghan, Karachi, Terminal. But other maps such as: sub base, estate, high rise and wasteland works at some places but totall lag at some point in the map. Some of the singleplayer maps do this too..
I tried formated my computer, installed latest drivers yada yada! Anyone else having this problem?
wank wank wank wank, sry for swearing but ive had enough now. was assured all would work ok today.
bollocks is it.
first two errors now gone.
now get iw4mp.exe not working. piece of shit.
most anticipated game release of the decade lol, you would have thought they would get it right first.
Reinstalled the game from scratch, tried to veryfy intergrated cache and defragmentet cache files, and it still it wont run.
Currently unavaliable, wtf is this shit!
Hello,
The problem I have doesn’t give me an error.
but the Game freezes at launch when u get the Infinity Ward logo to pop up at the very start if i’m fast with the esc button i manage to get into the menu to choose from Campaign Spec ops and multiplayer.
Ive tried all the known fixes provided by activision and this forum wich are kinda the same ^^

Onboard “Realtek HD Audio”
What ive tried already:
1) Everything From The activision support and this site
2) Switched memory
3) Switched GHX with a 9600gt and an radeon HD4670
4) Reinstalled Windows 7
5) New HDD installed wicth both Win 7 and Win Xp both still same problem.
6) Installed Dx multiple times
7) Updated All Drivers to newest.
I personally think it has something to do with the onboard Audio “Realtek HD Audio” but don’t got the sound card yet to find out.
I would really appreciate any sign of people with same problem who can tell me approxematly where the problem is at
Yverio@Dark-tranquility.com
Greetings Yverio
Well my friends, after alot of digging i fixed it, and it wasn’t easy i must add.
So, considering all the time and pacience it took me i’m listing all my steps so anyone with the same problem and configuration can fix it too.
So here it goes:
To all With a ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1600 (i think it works with msot of X1xxx)
Download this Drivers/Application:
WINDOWS 7
-> http://www.filehippo…yst_vista/5391/ (if you dont want to click here go look for it at ati site (driver version 9.3 vista)).
WINDOWS XP
-> http://www.filehippo…talyst_xp/5389/ (if you dont want to click here go look for it at ati site (driver version 9.3 xp)).
Application to Mod the driver so the system accepts it
-> http://www.driverhea…ol/download.php
1) Disconnect from internet so windows dosen’t automatically installs a driver itself;
Click Modify;
2) Go to Add/remove programs and uninstall Catalyst Control Center;
3) Go to Device Manager and Uninstall your Graphics Card (put the mark where it says to remove all of the software);
4) Reboot your Laptop.
5) Install MobilityModder (Follow instructions on Mobbility Modder Website if you dont know how to use it)
6) Run the driver file and let it extract to C:\Ati\support\9-3_vista32_win7_32_dd\, after it extracts close the New Installation window.
7) Open MobilityModder and browse to the folder where it extracted the driver i supposed its C:\Ati\support\9-3_vista32_win7_32_dd\ .
9) After its done, close MobilityModder and go to C:\Ati\support\9-3_vista32_win7_32_dd\ and click setup;
10 Let it install and if it says that the driver is not verified click on install it anyway.
11) Reboot again and be amazed, at least i was!
Feel free to ask questions, i will awnser them when i can.

Hi all!!!
I got the solution for the
1024×2048 texture failure!!!!
I use also the nVidia Geforce go 7600 and checked everywhere for updates, but they all said the i`ve got the newest one. nVidia drivers for notebooks are not easy to get, but there is a trick:
1) write on google: nvidia driver notebook and follow the first link
2) choose the right operation system
3) download the dirver AND the INF file
4) make a new ordner on c:/
5) extract the rar file (autoextracting)
6) check if your nVidia card is in the downloaded INF file!!!
7) copy the INF file in the dictionery
9) follow the orders
10) wait about 3-4 minutes
Now my one works! i hope i could help you too!!!

My game crashes at launch,now. The first two days the game ran fine. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, fixed resolution, killed backround apps,adjusted sound, I even unistalled and rest my computer to same settingsthe day i installed the game and it still doesn’t work. I assume it is a Steam problem then, cause nothing works. I unistalled and reinstalled steam as well.
Hi, hope you can help me with this problem. This graphics freeze happens sometimes twice a game, sometimes never. There doesn’t seem to be any action that triggers it, it just happens. Anyways, what happens is the screen freezes and portions of the screen go black while other portions remain frozen on the screen. The only thing that gets me back to playing is to ctrl alt delete and return to desktop. Which doesn’t return me to desktop but instead back to the game which actually works perfectly. Im running windows 7 but it also did the same thing in W@W when I was on windows vista. I can’t take a screen shot of what happens as it just returns a blank screen. I run the game on max settings with a ridiculously high frame rate so I’m pretty sure thats not the issues and im running all my latest drivers. Hope you can help.
To Dan:
Have you also tried to install the new forceware from nVidia? my friend got similar problems but when he installed this things the blackscreens were gone. but he also told me that you should really take care to install the right one for your graphic card. just look up on google, u´ll find a right link. I`m not an expert for computers but i hope it will help u!
Problem: MW2 locks often in the same places when specular map is turned on. Only when this option is turned on, otherwise runs with no problems at all.

Hope they’ll fix it in the next driver set.
The game minimizes itself to desktop randomly about 3 times an hour and on some occasions the game will crash. A window pops-up saying: DXerror. No further information, i checked every thing, drivers, dxsetup etc, I dont know what to do.

The error is, after playing the game (for varying ammounts of time) My pc will just switch its self off, this happens at different points in the game, its not the same save or area of one map that causes it, not sure if spec ops does the same i havent tried yet. But this is the first time i’ve seen it and i’m already running everything at minimum quality.
Its absolutly fine in multiplayer, been playing for a couple of hours with that and no problems.
Oh i’m running windows 7 64bit aswell, sorry for double post
When I’m playing mw2 single player the computer just restarts and it happens over and over I’m up to exodus. It happened once on spec ops and multiplayer.
I’m running on like 1.5 ram , 9000 nvidia gtx video card and that’s all really I know.
Been banging my head on the keyboard for the whole day with this one; the multiplayer game hangs at startup, where the splash screen shows up. I go to task manager and it says ‘not responding’. I’m downloading videocard drivers but this was working fine before so I don’t think it will work. The SP game works fine also.
Steam has crashed several times….on running game and/or on reboot the error message is returned:

Hei, 4 those of you with the “loading bar crash to desktop without error but can play spec -ops fine” speudo error, what seemed to fix it for me was uncheking my crossfire settings on catalyst. Can’t promise you a result, but i got mine going.

[...] het al opgelost! Had een driver update nodig. Oplossing gevonden op Fixing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 errors, freezes, crashes and install problems | Gaming News Lin…Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums [...]
I could solve problem #2 for me (#2 : Games crashing to desktop at startup/launch) by switching “specular map” = OFF in the advanced video settings.
Start game, select spec ops, goto options/video/advanced video.
I first siwtched off specular maps and set all following texture settings to the lowest value.
Then I could start the campaign. Next I raised all textures back to high value again.
But specular maps still off.
Works fine so far.

Hey guys,
I’ve been having the game freeze as soon as I open up multiplayer, like a couple of seconds in and it would freeze… So i ctrl + alt + del and it’s not responding.
I did the DXSETUP,
I reinstalled,
I updated Graphic / Sound drivers (My comp specs will eat MW2)
I did everything… I came to one sight (for people who are having the exact same problem as me) and one of the Fixs said:
“When it freezes, just wait a coulpe of minutes and the game will continue running perfectly after a while”
BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT WORKED LOL… I restarted, (after updating drivers) opend up CODW2, on the main menu in multiplayer it froze after like 5 seconds… *LONG SIGH* waited a good 2~3 minutes and all of a sudden it just carried on working fine.. Im playing right now

What happends is simply, that the game Stop, suddenyl just stop, nadda zip nothing, no sound, no movement no nothing, i can’t eaven minimize the game Alt+f4 or Ctrl+alt+del. Nothing the whole system is frozen in the last frame of the game… All i can do is to restart the PC, the game has just come out the first 2 days nothing, then now like a hit in he face it keeps doing it after, aprox 3 Min into each game, i can’t play at all, It’s only in COD. MW 2 it does this though…
I tried the solutions you guys have written down 1, 2 and 3 still freezes, i have updated all drivers i could find on my pc everything…
Before i did that it would make a weird noise in the game while being frozen, but that went away after i updated my sound driver now its just a silent freeze of death…
Any tips to whats going on?

Error could not find zone ()
This worked for me so I thought i woudl share my fix to maybe help someone else. This is from Activision not me.
Solution #1: (By Activision Support)
Zone file errors are most likley due to a bad install or corrupt game files.
You can verify the integrity of the game files in the Steam client. In the Steam client right-click on the game and select properties. Click on the local files tab and click the “Verify integrity of game cache” button. You will need to do this for the single player and multiplayer game executables.
If that does not work you can try to delete the game content and re-download it from Steam. In the Steam client right-click on the game and select “Delete Local Content”. Once you have deleted the content you will need to re-download the content through the Steam client. You will need to do this for the single player and multiplayer game executables.
If that does not help then you may have a bad disc. Try replacing the game at the store you bought it at. Remember that if you replace the disc you will need to completely uninstall and re-install the game.
If the game still does not work after uninstalling and replacing the disc then you may have a bad piece of hardware like a bad harddrive or stick of RAM. In this case you will have to contact your computer manufacturer to find out how to test and replace any hardware that may be failing.
Hey, i have a AMD 5600×2, 3gigs of ram, 4870 with 2gigs of ram and it runs with very high FPS.(win vista 32bit)
the single player part is the only part i have problems with. The game will minimize to the desktop durning game play and i’ll have to click the task bar to maximize it again. It also will crass to the desktop after i go over the water fall in the last mission. I verified the intergrity of the game cache and it found one bad file and said it fixed it, but it’s still there and i don’t know what file it is.
thanks
i had only been playing MP in FFA game mode I tried team death match and no freezes for a while now. i also put my GPU fan speed to 100% all the time.
Here’s an interesting one.
After MW2 kept crashing on me (at various points), I updated my graphics drivers, audio drivers, and halted any AV software during gameplay and shut down other services.
It still freezes.
However, at the end of the “Estate” level, I actually got a BSOD. When I recovered and restarted the game, when I go to the main menu, there’s no “Resume Game” and it’s forced me to start from the beginning! I’m not about to do that.
I’ve verified that the saved games (.svg) file are all still there! Has anyone run into this? How do I get MW2 to recognize/load these saved games? I know that the config.cfg file doesn’t hold any of that info, either.
Thanks!
I hope you guys can help me!
My cod MW2 starts normally and than when i start playing it really laggs and there are textures, walls,… missing and appearing again randomly. I have like 5 FPS at any settings.

Graphics and sound work fine – but any text aside from what is on graphics is unreadable. I can’t see any messages, set my controls, choose settings, enter my name … nothing – because I can’t read the labels … they look like colored pixelss and I can’t tell what letters they are at all. The game plays ok but I can’t read any informational text at all.
Anwar: I had same problem. Try re-install game…
for those with the “disc read error”
just re install modern warfare 2… the folder must have 11 GB or MORE, not 10,8GB or less…

Having the same problem as number 352. I am running Window’s XP via bootcamp set up on my MAC desktop. The game seems to run fine but I can’t read any of the text. I tried the fix posted earlier with no luck. Is there any help available for this problem?
Error: steam must be running to play this game. COD mod. warfare 2 on XP.???
For many of you I would recommend hanging on for steam to get some updates pushed out … I know its shit waiting but you don’t want to be messing your pc’s up by making all sorts of changes in trying to get the erros to go.
Unless you are following precise steps like those at the beginning of the article and you know what you’re doing
don’t mess about with things associated to hardware.
Also, for some of you make sure you have any service packs and updates that are available to your OS and you can use windows updates to check for driver updates too… this is a better option for any of the kids who don’t know how to update drivers.
I am having a problem where the single player and spec ops works fine but as soon as i try to launch multiplayer the game crashes on a black screen with the windows cursor. I then have to alt ctrl del to find the game is not responding and i close it. I try to re open the game and it says would i like to run in safe mode? then i go ok sure so it changes resolution and crashes the same as before no matter if i push yes or no to run in safe mode. I have looked up some common fixes like putting the res on 1024×768 and 32bit color but none of that works?? Does it seem like i have to wait for a patch to be available before i can play the game???
I went into steam properties for the call of duty mw2 multiplayer .exe and did the verify integrity of game cache and it said the at the end “1 file failed to validate and will be reaquired” i dont know what that means and all i could do was close the window and it doesnt seem to fix the problem. Where does this error come from and does anyone know how to fix it?
My game starts fine i get going in single player then in certain parts it starts to lag then slow down frame by frame until its like stop motion. then when i look at my mem usage its using a shit ton. Tried lowering my video settings but didn’t do anything at all.
When i play the game it says that i have no more memory..my texture quality is already at automatic…help…anyone..
my problem number 324 was fixed by going to the propites of MW2 under the my games tab in steam
Propites-> local files -> vierfy intedgrity of game cache, try it it fixed another persons problem who was different to mine

“DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error” – I RESOLVED the problem by re-loading my drivers (Using Asus EN9600GT HTDI/1G) from Asus.
have got the blurry text issue running xp, x1600 card, any idea where i can find some screenshots of the options menu so i know what im adjusting
I am sorry to say this but the worst error was to take the decision launching the game via Steam.
All games i have played workworse with steam…so best would be to go out of steam or update fixes to the errors asap.
i have had 2 errors from the list above in just 2 hours of gameplay.

Hi,
I had issues with the Textures
Problem #6 :Modern Warfare 2 Text and Texture problems / distorted
My Config:

My solution :
- Important!!(if you skip this step it won’t work)Remove ALL (Legacy, Omega drivers) and other Graphics software
- restart
- Install the latest drivers (Catalyst Software Suite) http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/9-3-1/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx?&lang=English
- Restart –> no unreadable textures anymore

Getting DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. I play a Multiplayer match online in Steam and it plays fine. Then when I go to play the second match every time this error pops up. The game minimizes and I have to close it out and restart the app. Tried running the DX runtime and that won’t run, says it encounters an error. Ran the DX setup in the steamapp folder, that ran but didn’t help. Turned off PhysX, turned off antialiasing. Still didn’t help. Set the steam community in game to off. ???

Since the last steam update yesterday, every time I start the game and invite friends and as soon as I click “team deathmatch” that game crashes to desktop. This happens every time. The only workaround I’ve found is if someone else hosts the game I can back out and then invite and host games normally with no problems while in the present game. Closing the game and opening it up does the same thing again.

Hello,
I am using windows XP to play COD MW 2.
My issue is that the letters are just messed up. Even in the main manu, they are just multi coloured little squares and shapes instead of letters. What could be causing this?
Thanks
Hi,
My computer recently crashed while i was playing multiplayer CoD 6 so i had to reboot it and then when it finished i waited a while and then tried to play it again. Then the safe mode thing pops up and i clicked yes, then it says “DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions.”
And i don’t know where the readme files are.
Please help! Thank You.

(P.S. I just got the game on friday night)
It seems that, for the people who experience a freeze for singleplayer after the intro movie and for multiplayer in the menu, PATIENCE is the key to succes. Don’t radically ram alt-tab and don’t terminate the process, just wait 2 to 3 minutes (go to the toilet after you started the game or grab a drink
. This works for me, but I hope Infinity Ward will come with a small patch fixing these freeze ups a lot of people seem to have.
While playing single player all of a sudden my character will stop moving (directional W,A,S,D) I can move and fire still but other than that i cant do anything
@Phaerun2006: Don’t try to type text messages while playing singleplayer?!
For those with the “INCOMPLETE INSTALLATION” issue, shut down Steam and restart it. Steam will then update itself and your game will be good to go.
What is this?
Can’t get game to run, waste of $50.00. Do not buy this crap.
iw4sp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I use ventrillo while i play. I load up cod:MW2 and get into a lobby and nobody can hear me anymore. when i minimize still in the game people can hear me but when i go full screen again my guys cant hear me. This is the only game it does it in. I am in need of help fast. i have already uninstalled and reinstalled steam and MW2. HELP!
I got a crash issue at ACT II.Anybody having this issue ?
Problem #2 : Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Crashing to desktop at startup/launch <——
That was very good advice… Now my game dont start at all ffs! :S
**I HAVE SOLUTION**
For those of you who get “connecting to iwnet” and the game gets stuck on the launch scrren for a while then launches.
First turn off your internet.
Then Launch Cod 6 Multiplayer.
Then wait till you get to the main menu.
Go to your desktop by pressing the windows key or alt-tab whatever…
Then re enable or reconnect to your net or plug it back in.
Hit play game.
Give it 5-20mins.
And it should work it should even fix singl player.
You only have to do this once..
Good luck
Hi! I have try all thing to fix the bug and re-format my compt AND YOU KNOW WHAT? Im still crashing to the desktop to iwm2 something like that stop working.. WTF help me

hey, got same problem as Rowan:
when i get to a checkpoint this message appears:
“savedevice_pc-tempsavegame: cannot open file for saving”
and I’m back in the main menu =(
do i have to wait for a patch or does anyone know how to fix this?
Here’s my problem. I finished act I and act II of the game. When the first mission of act III starts something in my graphics went wrong. The colors aren’t right and mostly black and white. So I saved the game, quit, and ran the game again hoping it would solve the problem. But then the problem still persisted, so I decided to restart my pc. After restarting I ran the game again and was surprised that my progress in the campaign missions all disappeared. Back to square one it is. S.S.D.D. again.
My graphics card is ATI X1650 updated with the latest driver.
Did all usually recommended stuff here, nothing worked.
But then i got that cracked data from the torrent and whoops, running smooth.
What a shame that users and scene ppl have to figure out for themselves how to make a game running we paid for…
Can anyone teach me where I can download a player profile? I just want to finish the campaign missions.
Sorry if this is a redundant question, but here goes. I put in my retail disc and it gives me the following error when I attempt to install:
dxsetup.exe – Bad Image
———————-
C:\Windows\system32\xactengine3_5.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
I replaced the discs this morning because of the same error thinking it was just a bad burn, but it does the same thing. Help?
I have the same problem with game crashing at the beginning of Act II (the mission is called something with “The Hornet…”). After loading I am able to walk 10 steps and the i’m thrown to the desktop.(Windows7, GeForce 7900gt but game played well the first Act)
Any help would be appreciated

Activision support just quoted from this page in my support call about DirectX installation. They quoted my workaround back to me. Verbatim.
The irony aside, they also said that “this is an issue we are currently looking into”.

I would like to thanks the people of this site for trying to fix these issues when it is not there problem!
- Thank You!
1. If there is a file error/missing file/random glitch… try this:
– Find the file anyway possible (ie. Search (windows button + S)
– Delete the file.
– Head to Steam and veirfy the integrity of the files (shown how to do in Problem #11)
– Wait for the file to be re-downloaded.
– Should work.
2. Make sure drivers are upto date!
3. I am having the same problem as “Wasted”, i hit multiplayer and the Mulitplayer MW2 pic comes up and then black screen. I currently have NO fix for this but am working to solve it.
NOTE: If you have played single player save you content (shown in above info), before doing any of these just in case.

Hi!
I got problem #6
But I have Vista, so none of the suggested solutions work for me.
Does anyone have an idea og what I sould do, so I can have a clue of what it says in the game and options.
OK, So when i play solo campaign, those little loading animations start up to keep me busy as the mission loads. But after my mission loads, the game closed it self and send me back to the desktop, and i was able to play till the wolverines mission, in the midle of the mission send me back to the desktop and since then I haven’t been able to play any mission, i did every thing is post in here, download drivers, change resolution, sound, start up booting sequence, nothing works!
thank you for your help!!

when i start mw2 multiplayer i get this error iw4mp. only happens when i start mp. plz help
Hi, when I try to load MW2 multiplayer it crashes at start and says Error; could not find common_mp.ff
There was a similar question and answer for this that suggested I verify the cache in Steam. Well I did that it said it had to reaquire 1 file and then nothing. It still didn’t work, I tried defragging it and nothing. It just constantly crashes at the start with that error.
Please help
and thank you
hello everyone i had this error MW2 error “Could not find zone ‘localized_common_mp.ff’ after doing a clean install and it puzzle me for a bit but i got around it by doing the following
1)i made sure ALL updates for my vista ultimate was installed
2)i used the steam to remove my local files ( for both multilayer and normal game ) thus removing the game from my machine
3) i then reinstalled the game staying logged into the steam client and it installed and updated fine and best of all multilayer and normal game types was fine yay
thought id share this info as i am so happy i managed to fix it
I installed the game
and i passed the first mission in act but when the loading of mission tow (cliffhanger) starts the game crashes to windows
any one have a solution for this problem please help
i was playing for a while and everything seemed to be working great but sometimes the game decides to freeze an i get the blue screen that shows up on my computer that tells me i have a serious error i dont no if it is from the game of something to do with my computer system itself…. please help
thanks M.Krotz
Hi guys,
I have COD MW2 installed.
But when i klick on the .exe to play
nothing happens..
I am logged on to steam when i try this.
Anyone knows what this can be?
Thnx
Can’t “COOK GRENADE” using Logitech G5. I’ve installed the latest drivers and still when I run the game it somehow changes my general mouse settings ;/ .. Even when I’m still holding mouse side left buttons my character throws a granade.
In cod4 it was ok, but after launching mw2-> and then mw1, it also turned wrong and i can’t “cook grenades” in any game. FIX it please.
The game always crashes to desktop after about a hour of continous playing, no error massage
After the it has once crashed ingame, no safed games can ever be played again in single player mode.
The Game then crashes to desktop after completly loading any mission…
Well ppl about “Insufficient memory, free at least 5mb” i tryd everything and then i put CD1 in and it works…and who got problem with IW4SP.EXE or something like that and directx problems try CTRL+ALT+DEL and processes and end XFIRE…it works for me
Problem:
“directx has encountered an unrecoverable error ”
This happens mostly during loading maps and campaigns.
Every driver and update applied
Steam version.

I get on to show my bro the game and it wants me to install the sAME THING AGAIN SO i dont know whats going on. steam says and i quwote ” In order to run steam properly, the steam client service component must be installed.” so what do i do to fix this problem.

Ive had modern warfare 2 since its been out, it updates in steam today, and now i get a message about and incomplete instalation (error code 20). Steam support has no mention of the problem and a repair and reinstall seems to do nothing to help the situation. Can anyone help?
hi guys.. my problem in COD 4 Modern Warefare 2 is: In the Menu.. i can’t understand what it’s write!!
it’s look it’s corrupt or what.. ?
Any 1 can help me??
I also had the error “could not load zone favela.ff”. I was able to find a solution for that problem. I’m guessing that it’s a corrupted map file. Navigate to your game director and find the specific file. Delete the file, log in to Steam, verify cache files. This will redownload the deleted file. Hope this works for the rest of you. I’m also guessing that it would work for any other corrupted file. Cheers, Andy
?????????? ?????????? ????? ????? 10 ????? ???????? ? ????? error directx. ??? ???????
Hey guys. not too sure whats wrong with my problem.
After about 1-2 hours gameplay ( or less ) My PC immediately shuts down with no warning.
Please help?
^
Overheating perhaps? Does this happen on other games as well?
It seems there is a connection somehow between the game and graphic drivers as far as the errors are concerned.
I have Radeon X1950 Pro and was able to play the game for some time (to “contingency” map to be exact) until errors started to appear. Now i get the Create2Dtexture -error when i try to load a map.
However, when i uninstall ccc (catalyst control center), i can load the map, but missing some textures (showing as black boxes) and the game eventually crashes to SaveDevice_PC -error.
tl;dr
So with CCC installed = Create2DTexture -error.
CCC uninstalled, only display driver = Textures missing & SaveDevice_PC -error.
Apparently problem lies in MW2 code and how it somehow communicates with graphic drivers or something.
Hello, everytime I start MW2, in steam a first installation of direct X for windows is being executed.
I am using XP64-bits. 3.0ghz intel dual core 4gb RAM.
I also had problem installing this game on my computer.
I was a script error everytime, I also run as administartor same problem. I had to manually download steam, activate my serial key in steam and download it from steam and install the game.
hey guys i was in james ramrez mission where a chopper crashes and then a white screen apper and then when the next mission was about to load i got an error and the game crashes, error was disk read error…plz guys help me..
When MW2 Crashes during cinematic or gameplay, especially during a level with water/smoke, error dialogue box pops up but you cannot read it because it is blacked out:
Turn down all graphic settings. When the error box pops up, it is trying to give one of various graphics errors.
but i have already lower my graphic to low and my resolution is 640*480 and my game is crashing when its loading act 3 1 mission…help me bro i want to play the game…
Regarding the last post #493, the final cinematic has a LOT of sand. I have a GeForce 8800 gts 512 and it cannot handle the 1440×900 with high details. Turning down the resolution and settings resolved the problem.
This is the error i get:
Read Disk Error. I have played the game for like 5 hours and while i finish the American campaign in washington(the part you get in a chopper shooting russians with a Gatling gun)and tend to start the next campaign this is the error i get: Read Disk error. Please,somebody out there help me. And by the way these are my PC specs:
Vga Gts 250 xedtion 1 gig
4Gb ram
500 gb HDD
Intel 7400 core2
Possible Fix To Freeze Problems:
I have been trying every fix that I could find to stop the repeated freezing problem that I have in both single and multiplayer modes of this game.
I found that the only thing that has HELPED (not completely fixed for me, but maybe for others) was downloading the Beta Drivers for my video cards from nVidia.
For GeForce 200 series video cards and others, here is the link to the nVidia beta download area:
This Beta was released on 11/17/2009:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_64bit_195.55.html
They say that in this driver release, still yet to be certified, that they have included support for COD MW2:
“This is a WHQL-candidate driver for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, and 200-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs.
New in Version 195.55
* Adds GPU-acceleration for smoother online HD videos with the new Adobe Flash 10.1 beta. Learn more here.
* Adds support for GeForce GT 240.
* Adds support for OpenCL 1.0 (Open Computing Language) for all GeForce 8-series and later GPUs.
* Adds support for CUDA Toolkit 3.0 features and performance enhancements. See CUDA Zone for more details.
* Adds SLI and multi-GPU support for many top new gaming titles including Borderlands, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, FIFA Soccer 10, and more.
* Includes numerous bug fixes including improved performance for Need for Speed: Shift. Refer to the release notes on the documentation tab for information about the key bug fixes in this release.
* Users without US English operating systems can select their language and download the International driver”
This helped my problems specifically by causing the screen freeze to occur far less frequently.
I am running the following hardware/OS if it is of interest:
- Intel DX58SO Extreme Motherboard
- Core i7 940 2.93ghz
- Dual nVidia GTX 285 video cards
- 6GB RAM @ 1000mhz
- Windows 7 Ultimate x64
- Dell 30″ LCD 2560×1600 Native Resolution
I have literally tried every single fix that I could find and all drivers and BIOS are the most recent releases available. The nVidia Beta release driver was the only thing I could find newer than what I had.
My problem with the screen freeze is not affected by any of the following:
- Reinstalling Steam and/or MW2
- Closing background applications
- Turning off anti-virus application
- Opening firewall ports
- Verifying Local Cache
- Turing off SLI / Muli-core rendering
- Turning down video option settings in game
- Lowering resolution
- Turning off Antialiasing
- Turning off Phys-X
- Standing on my head
- Pretty much anything listed on the Activision “support” site
At the end of the day, while COD MW2 may work well for many gamers, it doesn’t for me. Unfortunately I downloaded my copy from Steam so I can’t even go back to a store and return the box for a refund.
I will continue to hold my breath for an update to be released that addresses the problems that I am having.

please help me im tottaly pissed off :@ ;(
What? i didnt udnerstand that ? or was it not to me? i cant open the game at all, it just write error in a box, and the game isnt answering and i have to pres, end now
code_post_gfx.ff is file with text, i thinks the problem is because font of the words!!! because i try to copy russian code_post_gfx.ff and its work(i see half russian,and other half in english leng.) someone try to tell them to say what is the font for game to download it!!!!
To ppl who get Error but aren’t able to read it:
Run MW2 in windowed mode (press alt + enter in menu) and then run the game. You should be able to see the error text which might or might not point you to problem & solution.
IMO in most cases where theres Error you can’t read, it’s that Create2DTexture -error.
ACT I, Mission 3, No Russian: SaveDevice_PC – TempSaveGame : cannot open file for saving. pls help
Multiplayer option crashes within seconds of running and leaves a black window in the top left of the screen and two tabs in the System Tray, one of which is entitled “Error”.
Closing this one closes both. Retrying delivers the following missive:
“It appears that MW2 did not quit properly the last time it ran.
Do you want to run the game in safe mode?
This is recommended for most people.
It will change your system settings but not your controls.”
Either option results in further crashes.
OILRIG……….. error =
SaveDevice_PC – TempSaveGame : cannot open file for saving.
THIS IS THE SOLUTION FOR THOSE WHOSE GAME CRASHES TO DESKTOP!
just download this: mininova.org/tor/3137465
extract and copy the files to the game folder and you are good to go!
have fun!

Anyone else getting an error at the last level inbetween the boat scene and the final boss scene? I’ve tried everything from verifying to reinstalling twice but it still hasn’t fixed the problem. I thought it might be the error with the zone files but it may not be the case. I have no idea what to do. I can’t even check my error cause I can’t minimize and check what the error message says. I always have to control+atl+delete.
I have original disk for MW2 and in single player when i reach mission “no russian” in the middle or sometimes even at the end of that mission it crashes it says “out of memory” or “diretx error enrecovable” and also when i play multi player it crashes on almost evry map expest highrise scrapyyard and afghan can anyone give me some solution and i have Nvidia Geforce 9800 gt

i am running windows vista 64 bit service pack 2 with direct x 11 that it downloaded
right so i get the game i first had windows 7 on here and omg steam freezes so gave up on that and went to vista well
now it installed fine but then when going to launch the game it just crashes to desktop
am i thinking fuck i wana jab a knife into every programer at iw and activision cose modern warfare was programed two million times better atleast it works
ive tried the stuff mentioned above didnt work
i tried limiting my ram to 3 gigabyte (some games hate 4 gb of ram) didnt work
um verifying the game through steam 1 file fales and gets realocated then it says decrypting game files then loads the game guess what doesnt work
like what the f**k this pisses me off aint new games ment to run on new hardware aswell like not only one core of a cpu and trying to kill the 8800gt
i think the problem is
have any of you guys above installed hard drive drivers
ie sata or raid drivers before ie when you are installing windows i did this and it doesnt work
i will most likely install windows 7 or vista 2 moro without the sata or raid driver as i wish to actually play the game in direct x 11
hope steam doesnt freeze
i hope iw and activision come out with a massive patch for this game soon to fix there major f**k ups

Well do i need to say more? 14 days on and 549 complaints on one site already. One site of many and all suffering the same problems. Absolute waste of money in the purchase of this game. Like everyone else, crashes, crashes, crashes! The year is now 2009, not 1989 and you bring out a game under steam that quite clearly is a dud. What ever happened to making straight forward reliable game like the predecessor. Steam was crap, bug ridden and unreliable on it’s inception and here we are years on and you haven’t learnt a thing. What ever happend to quality control and testing? People like me have spent good money on crap that don’t work. A pathetic list of things to fix, alter, manipulate turn on, off, add this file and change that setting of a perfectly working well perfoming computer that cost many thousands of dollars to try and make work what should work already but even after all the alterations i should not need to make, it’s still “STUFFED” it still crashes. Why you changed from the predecessor set up has got me beat. Refund peoples money or bring game out with no steam and swap out original game. Congradulations on stuffing what should have been a great experience. I like most sit with a game that don’t work and i have yet to meet someone that has got it working properly and i know a lot of people

SOLUTION PROBLEM 6 FOR WINDOWS VISTA-(same website)
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5326
I played it for the first week without fail. But then suddenly the game began freezing while loading a multiplayer map. I go to task manager to find a black screen and a error message that wont let me view it. I tried almost everything on here but nothing’s fixed it, I did the verify, found 1 messed up file “mp_playlists.ff” I deleted it everytime i went to a new map and it worked but then it started doing the freeze again and i tried deleting the file again (i thought it would dl a good one) and it still wont work : /
Hi to all.
I am also having the problem 6, i tried to update the drivers from my graphic card (ATI mobility radeon X1400) but none seems to work, I am always having the same problem. My OS is Windows XP, so the codecs for windows 7 don´t work for me. Any help on this matter would be very appreciated. Thanks.
Cheers
hi i’ve completely installed the game but when i click on it all that happens is the loading icon beside my cruiser appears for less than 1 second but then nothing happens help plz n’ thnx!!
A) When try to start the Campaign I see all the introduction and then the part from Moscow, 5 years later.. The games shutdown instant.
B) When trying to launch muliplayer, the launch dialog comes up, the status in Steam says Syncing but then it stops. No messages.
I can’t minimize the game while playing multi. Totally sucks.

Hi
i am getting some horizontal stripes on my screen that are moving when i get flashed in the multiplayer. For example i get flashed and there are these stripes on my sreen, i can look through the flash effect when there is a stripe on my screen. i have to switch out of the game and switch in to get rid of them. i checked with steam and verified all my files and i have updated my graphics driver but they are still there. and if i don’t switch out i get a graphics driver error after some time playing with these stripes on my screen and i have to reboot my pc.
any ideas?
Sup.
My problem is simple. I got it gifted, for the pc, on STEAM.
I run it from STEAM, first time it installs a redist package – which is fine…then it wants to update directX, I’m like okay, fine, that never hurts.
THEN it starts.
….and freezes.
I see the infinity ward logo run smoothly for anywhere from a second to three seconds and then BAM, my game would freeze \lock up, with only a CTRL-ALT-DEL granting me escape. After the logo, it’s just black, not reacting to anything. No escape, no music no sounds no visuals….

Red Faction Guerilla did something similar, whenever I got to the main menu it would freeze and lag uncontrollably. I found the solution to that to be replacing the CORRUPT \ INVALID binkw32.dll file, and I’m gonna try that now too, but I don’t think that’s it…
ive gotten upto the “endgame” level in SP, at the end of the mission when u chase general sheppard in the zodiac boats i go over the cliff into the water and the screen fades to black, after that it crashes, i cant even read the error messave it all just goes to hell.

What do you people say?
FIXED COD MW2!!!
Previous Problem: Freezing in game play, graphics problems.
Determined Cause: Video cards overheating (2 ea 285 GTX in SLI)
Solution: Downloaded EVGA Advanced Graphics Tuning, reduced clock speed of video cards and manually adjusted fan speed to 100%. Game runs flawlessly now.
Hi, I’ve just installed Modern warfare 2 and when I ran the game, it said that my video didn’t support vertex shader 3.0, only 2.0. I wanted to know if I could there was something I could do to play the game WITHOUT CHANGING MY VIDEO CARD… Maybe deleting the file that is running performance check at the begining of the game??
Thank you!
Hi.. i tryed installing MW2, but it keep getting the Error Message ‘Microsoft DirectX setup has stopped working’ I cant even get past the ‘installing components’ part at the start of the installation! please help
the game runs fine during the actual game in single player and multiplayer. But the videos in campaign don’t work. As the level loads the video plays fine, but the moment the white bar finishes loading, it becomes unwatchable (both audio and video lags way too severely to watch). i appreciate any help.

When i go play multiplayer, the game start correctly then 3 mins after i started playing boom ” Black Screen appering then 2/4 of a minutes then ” NOTICE : SERVER DISCONNECTED ” Keep Doing me that.. if you can contact me: Kevinmarchand1@hotmail.com
TY”.
I have the same blurry text issue. I have applied the solution; and update my graphics drives but no use. Any more suggestions?
Game keeps crashing to desktop in ACT 3 ENDGAME mission… i saw on some sites that this is a problem with WINDOWS 7??
A lot of comments so sorry if I’m repeating.
Problem: Game crashes during play to black screen (screen switches off/no signal) and stuttering sound.
Solution: GPU overheating. Download EVGA precision (free after registration. Google it) and increase fan speed to 100%. Play game and after 20 mins. close game and check gpu temp. If more than 80 degree u may need another fan. Hope this helps.

I installed the game and got the account, it works well on spec ops and even the end of the first part of the game, but when you finish the first course and they tell you how you’ve done, then hell breaks lose then my game crashes. Saying error: roadkill.ff. What is with this game. Just bought it tonight played about 10 minutes of it and it crashes at that spot every time, so what do I need to do? Is there a patch or something it needs to play the game? I already went through Activision.com/support to check my system to see if it was compatible and it passed with flying colors I pretty much topped the requirements. So what do I need to do to fix this, please any suggestions.

Denied to launch COD in safe mode when asked, now when i play the game there is a windows blue frame around the game with the little red X box in the upper right corner… which i can click on and will quit the game.

I’m on Window XP, with a Quad core pressesor,9900 NINVIA Graf card,1 Terra bytes of hardrive memorey and that’s pretty msuh enough to handle MW2.

Hi all suddenly after working fine for 2 weeks the muliplayer mode on this game starts up in a small window with perimeters. It fails to start in full screen. The single player (Campaign) starts in full screen mode just like all my other games. It’s just CODMW2 muliplayer that is failing to start in full screen mode. I have contacted Activision but so far the only advise they have given me is to update drivers and turn off programs on start up and that’s not working. Any ideas?
How Do You Get To The Game Files? hope you can find the answer
Upon attempting to launch the standard game in Windows XP64 I receive the following: “ERROR: Could not find zone ‘common.ff’”
Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times today.. Updated my video & sound drivers, still nothing.
My main problem(s) is that I can load up the single player menu, but am only allowed to do spec ops. If I choose the normal story, when the bar is finally done loading, it closes the program.
Also, if I go to multiplayer, as soon as I click “play” it does the same thing, closes and thats it.
Oh also, whenever I start the game (either sp or mp) it gives me the option to start it in safemode. :/
Running on Inspiron 9400, WIN 7, ATi Mobility Radeon x1400, 3GB RAM. Works Great!!!!
Thanks!!!
Since the new update/ patch i get problems to start mw2 mutliplayer … sometimes right at the start .. sometimes in matchmaking .. sometimes the first second at the start .. dont know .. but this problem appears without mw2 also .. but i think since the new patch mw2 has some factors which amplify my problem
Ok…so ive been playing MW2 with not one single issue, but i close out then i go back in first it goes to the mp menu and my NAT type has been changed to strict, its always been open. Then BAM moving the cursor around is impossible, i turn on fraps to see that i am gettin 0-1 FPS in the menu. I tried disabling steam and running the Direct X again but that didnt work.
no russian:
the only easy day was yesterday

I’ll join a multiplayer game, then usually after being able to play through a couple matches, it’ll load the next game, and as the loading bar finishes it crashes. When it crashes the screen just turns black, open task manager and there’s another program called ‘error’ but there’s no way to view an error window or anything.
Also, this didn’t start right away, only a week or two after i started playing, and now it happens daily.

@all people who experience an at random crashing/freezing modern warfare 2:
I had the problem that MW2 freezed/crashed mid-game. The only solution was to reset the PC. (it only crashed/freezed during MW2 and MW1)
I also added more memory at the time I installed MW2. I ran a memtest and the result was my extra memory was generating errors. I removed the extra ram and the game never crashed again since then.
I have found the thing that does reboot my PC when I was playing COD mw2 for 15min
My ventilater was overgrown with DUST I have cleaned it up and now it does run perfectly……
maybe more ppl have this problem, but I dont think so..
i have this problem when i scope in (to use the scope or ironsites) the textures become all blurry and my screen gets really messed up
i have a 9800 gt graphics card
and i have this problem on single player and multiplayer

Hello,
i have a brandnew Gaming PC, and after 10 – 20 minutes when iam start this game, my TFT becames totally grey and the PC doesnt work untill i press the reset button and restart him. now i install the newest version of direkt x and the game run till level 4 and then the same problem.
I have windows 7 and AMD 4*3,4 Ghz.
I recently installed Windows 7 64-bit and this error has happened since I installed 7. The game doesn’t crash or anything, but when I get to the main menu, though the sound works fine, the video will freeze for several seconds (including the mouse), before suddenly lurching forward, making any movements I did with my mouse while it was frozen, and then immediately freeze again, lurch, freeze, lurch, freeze. Sometimes, if I minimize and maximize the game, it starts working properly again, but it’s mainly unplayable. The particularly frustrating part is that it still works fine on XP (32-bit) which I have installed on a separate partition.
I bought the retail version of CoD:MW2
when I try to install, it tells me
“The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request. Please try again in a few minutes.”
Why can’t I install it from disk???
Steam is stupid!
I have Modern Warfare 4, it installs and runs fine, without steam.
Steam is obviously the problem.
when i turn my ps3 on and load my profile up with call of duty 6 in, my ps3 freezes before loading it and i am unable to turn it off properly, ive tried other games and they all seem to work fine, my cod disk is not scratched, can anyone help me?
I double click on my MW link in my games list, it shows the “Preparing to launch: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2″ screen. When that goes, I get the nice little box with Modern Warfare 2 inside it, then after a while it says “iw4sp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.”

I played MW2 for about 10 days with no any problems after I tried last week again to start MW2 a pop-up saying “Steam has a found a problem with your local games files. Steam files will now be acquired from steam servers”. When I klick on OK button ..no response only cancel button works.
Aktivision suooprt told me to reinstall the game and it would work again.
I deinstalled the game and while I was reinstalling same pop-up as above came again.
2nd Activision advice was also to delete steam/steam apps/common/MW2 file and reinstall again and it would work.
I did but no change same pop up again.
3rd Activision advice: change the game for a new one at the dealer and reinstall the new one and it would finally work.
I did it but same pop up while I did the new install.
So, I read through the forum to learn how to fix this problem and people were saying to, Defrag the game and verify the game cache. So I tried that, but it also didn’t work.
Now I really like to get help from you…
FYI anyone with steam problems try copying the setup to ur system and then installing steam … worked for me … its actually a stupid solution but hey i just wanna play …
Hi. i’m lvl 61 on Cod modern warfare which means i never had any problem playing. However, now when i open up Call of duty Modern warfare Multiplayer, it freezes right away.

Hi. When I start the game, it works fine. I click campaign, and then when it’s loading the first level, it crashes, and I get the “Modern Warfare 2 has stopped working” dialog box. Any help?
Hey,
I get this error when loading a map sometimes.
I’ll explain it further.
I’m talking about multiplayer.
Sometimes when the map starts to load I hear the windows error sound, but the screen doesn’t change, It stays on the loading map screen. Then I got 2 options, OR restart my computer, OR press ALT+TAB and then ENTER. (When I press ALT+TAB nothing really happens, The screen is still just the loading map screen, but I know my computer selected the error popup and I know when I hit ENTER that I click on the highlighted button in the error popup. Then MW2 exits and I can start it again) But I can’t see the error. So I don’t know what the problem is.
I get this in some maps, like Quarry, Derail, Rundown and Scrapyard. I don’t always get the error, I get them always, except when I had just quit MW2 and restarted it. The other maps ALWAYS load as they should.
Also on some gametypes some maps load normally.
As an example, on Team Deathmatch Quarry ALWAYS crashes, but in Domination it loads as it should…
I don’t know what the error is, this is just what happens, I hope you guys can help me out
Thanks in Advance

Hey I spent the better part of last night and tonight after getting home from work to find the problem with my COD MW2. I was getting the Installation Incomplete (53) Message.
My friend recently put a program named Iolo on my computer to make it run better. This friend got the same problem about 4 weeks ago and hasnt solved it. Well I am guessing that even turning the firewall off on this program doesnt prevent it from stopping insta downloads of programs.
I uninstalled Iolo, restarted and I am RIGHT back in to MW at the same place I left off. Everyone Please check your firewall monitoring programs for something that could be stopping the new upload.
Such a headache for such a small issue. HOPE YOU DONT GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AS MUCH AS I DID!!!!
Ok I’ve been playing Modern Warfare 2 since it came out until last week until I reformatted my computer. I went to install it again on a fresh copy of Windows 7 and I get “Incomplete Installation of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – Multiplayer (53)” I have tried 3 different operating systems and tried to install steam and MW2 over and over again, but nothing seems to work. If there is anyway possible you could help me, it would make me the happiest person alive. I love this game and I really don’t want to return it and start all over again.
Thanks

Every time I try to launch Modern Warfare 2 singleplayer or multiplayer, it doesn’t work. I try to launch and it says modern warfare 2 did not close properly last time, Do you want to launch in safe mode? I click yes or no and the result is the same. The screen goes black for a second or two, then goes back to my desktop. Please help, I dont know what to do.
I have updated sound card drivers, graphics card drivers, disabled all startup programs now I am running out of options.
My Singleplayer and Multiplayer were working before but one day they just stopped working
——————–SPOILER ALERT
I’m up to the part where Soap & Price scale down the cliff and stab the two guys, followed by walking in to a cave and waiting for a patrol to walk by.
Around this sequence in the game, it looks like the game stops rendering and the sound locks up for short period of time then it goes quiet, at this point I’m sure my GPU is still displaying the screen but the game itself is not.
I cannot alt+ctrl+delete, minimize or exit the game in any way. I also lose my sound entirely, as I tested running Skype in the background after the crash while talking to somebody.
Please help! The mission “Contingency” doesn’t work. It hangs up while loading up the mission. Any ideas on why this is happening? I’ve reinstalled CoD MW2 3 times now, and the same problem still persists. Thanks!

hi! I have a weird problem.. I can run MW2 all maxed out fine, untill the game just keeps getting worse (it starts to lag more and more). after some time, the game starts to lag, and I repeat, I can run the game perfectly on max settings, but after it starts to lag, if I don’t close the game from Task Manager, it will eventualy stop responding! when I look at the memory load in task manager, it is at 700-800 (even if the game is closed (I think it’s a memory leak..?), and my computer is slower and I have to restart..
System: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz
nVidia GeForce 8500GT
2 GB RAM
Windows XP SP2
everything is updated with the latest drivers and software!
the problem for short: MW2 runing at max perfectly, after some time it starts to lag really bad, game closed from task manager, computer memory is heavily loaded, restart required to run normaly. [memory load befoe runing game: 200, memory load after game: 800]
i have completely installed modern warfare 2 and if i click the shortcuts it wont even load up if i go into my computer and click the disk drive with the disc in it it comes up to the ”play,reinstall,uninstall,readme” page i click play then once again nothing happens apart from that page closing?? i have no idea what is going on
I just got Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and when i try to install it onto my computer it wont read any of the discs… Is there any particular reason as to why this could be? Any input would be helpful. Thanks

For anyone who has the INCOMPLETE INSTALLATION error, and has the DVD1 already in the drive, and has also verified local game cache, try a chkdsk /f and a reboot.
Also, if you get stuck on ‘download starting’ there is a good chance this is your problem: the multiplayer exe gets stuck before it finishes installing due to a disk error, and there is another file with the same name except the extension is .temp.
TO FIX THE PROBLEM THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME:
go to start->run or hit the Windows key + R
Type in:
chkdsk /f c:
Answer Y at the prompt and hit ENTER.
REBOOT.
It will run a chkdsk automatically before windows starts.
Then go into steam and try launching the game. If it doesn’t work, make sure DVD1 is in. If it still doesn’t work, verify local game cache. If it STILL doesn’t work, go to:
c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\
or whatever your install directory is. Then rename iw4mp.exe.temp to iw4mp.exe. If you get a permissions or access denied error, you probably have a disk error still. Run the same command as above, except with the /r flag:
chkdsk /f /r c:
Then reboot again, and try renaming the above file again. You can also try verifying local game cache but it’s easier just to rename it.
Hope this helps. I was ripping my hair out trying to get my roommate’s desktop to run the stupid game.

Error during initialization:

plz help me this pops up whnever i want to launch the game
Hellow There. I haz a problem like two guys down here. When I launch the MW2 I get the fileSysCheck.cfg error so If anyone knows how to fix write down here.
Or Mail me
lukiux12@gmail.com
So I was getting complete comp crashes. Tried everything till I read my event viewer. I’m using win vista 32 bit. Heres my fix. Hit the windows key and “r” at the same time. Type Regedit and hit ok. Then goto edit, find, and type
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl\Set\Services\Paraport
After you find that look for “Start” on the right hand side in the box. Double click on it and change the value from 0,1,2,3 which ever it may be to 4.
Not sure why this was causing a crash, but from what I understood and read it was forcing my laptop to keep saying there was a printer or some such device connected when there wasn’t. It sounds corny and you may think it doesn’t work, but if you get as desperate as I did, then give it a try and test if for yourself.
I have a problem with the proyection of shadows in MW2. The shadows of non moving objects (like trees) proyected on the floor move when you move. It’s oviously a glitch of some sort, but I don’t know if it is a problem of the game or of my computer. I have a GeForce 8800 and an AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 4400+. I want to know if there are other people with this problem and if theres a patch I can install. Thank you.
Doesn’t work:
“If you are having trouble with the Game or you have to format your PC and don’t know if your Savegame is still there after reinstalling Modern Warfare 2, here is the solution:
Just go into the Modern Warfare 2 folder:
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2
and just mack a Backup from the folder named “players”
Thats the whole savegame from the Singleplayer.”
Can’t restore my saved games to a new machine. MW2 just started over from scratch!
Help is GREATLY appreciated!
Hello! This is my problem: The other day, I changed my ingame settings by switching the screen resolution. The screen just went black and my light changed from green to orange. I restarted my computer, and now whenever I start the game I can hear the music, but the screen stays black. I can’t switch the settings back to default ingame because I can’t see anything!
………
Everytime i play the level “contigency” or whatever it’s called, my game freezes at the first checkpoint with an error saying “SaveDevice_Pc-RempSaveGame:cannot open file”
Id’ love to get some help with this, since i haven’t found any answers on forums. And if i can’t get help here, i’ll contact infinityward and ask for help.
thanks for the help

Hi, ive got something wrong with my loadingscreens…when i have played like 4 multiplayer games without problem the loadingscreen just stops there and you hear the error sound..when u ALT+Tab it down everythings black exept the actionbar in the bottom and there is the error but i cant se what it says..could this mabey be Problem # 15 adn if so how do i see which .ff file to delete?
1. I’ve had this problem since I got MW2 off of Steam. MP freezes as soon as it finishes loading main menu. When I had Vista i could open steam, turn off firewall, then load MP and it worked. If the firewall was off, I could open steam, turn on firewall, then turn off firewall to get it to work.
2. Now I have w7. Same freeze problem but changing firewall does nothing. So I changed resolution to 1024×768 and I got in, changed resolution in options, then could load it whenever.
Now, for no apparant reason, I get the error again. However there is no consistent solution. All I can do is change to random resolutions, sometimes with or without switching to safe mode. after 10 or so tries I usually get it to work, but while I was in different resolutions!
3. Single player used to freeze on the IW logo, but screen resolution fixed that. Haven’t tried since problem 2 began.

Incomplete installation of COD: MW2.
For further help visit
support.steampowered.com
everytime i try and start up singleplayer it comes up with “DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error” iv upgraded directx and it still happens.
fatal error steam must be running to play this game, but its running
Plz help me! I installed CoD 6 but all the text is garbled in multiplayer one. i tried the way that you wrote on this website. But nothing changed.
I have a problem with “Incomplete Installation Error 53″ MW2 Muiltiplayer. Have tried everything in Steam Suggestions. Problem comes and goes….for several weeks game play is fine and then Error 53…….after several days or weeks will fix itself. Help
Hi guys, i just installed mw2 but when i start the game this pops up :

I have a steam related problem more than a cod one, whenever i go into cod and start to play my internet 100% goes offline, and cuts in and out every 30 seconds or so until i close the game, in which everything runs fine again. I dont have this problem with any other non steam games and my internet is fine. Iv already run virus and spyware checks, reinstalled steam, and turned off my firewalls. If you could help that would be fantastic.
hi,
in act 3, the mission contingency.
I tried it over and over but it won’t load.
After the downloading freezes my computer restarts.
after my computer has restart, it saids it has been repaired of a majour fault.
I tried to change my pixels but it doesn’t work
whenever i run the game, it runs for a few seconds(about 5 to 6 secs to the max.) then the screen turns half black and a window pops up saying:
Couldnt load image’~weapon_mini_uzi_new_spc-r83~ad4b2edb’
to which i click ok and the game stops & returns to the desktop
pleaseee help!
People that have issues with the map “End game” like crashing or freezing during the loading screen after the “waterfall” put your resolution to the lowest posiblein the advanced graphics screen. Sucks i know if you played the whole game on high res. but this will fix the problem and you will be able to finish the game! Funny ending!!.
Good luck!!!
Hi , when i run the game it says “Steam must be running to play this game” . I opened my steam and it still did not help.

What is this with this game? 835 Post from people with a crashing CoD MW2. It can’t be that 800+ computers, only on this forum, make the game crash… Blame Infinity Ward?? I get error all over the place to then im playing CoD MW2, for example: APPCRASH

I have a problem with Graphics. Cod6 will start fine and I can join a game and play, but after about 5 or 6 games it freezes and goes to the black screen, sometimes with the music still playing some without. I think it has to do with the DirectX but not sure.

MSI motherboard
ATI 4890 1GB Ram
Curcial Ballistix DDR3 1600 2GB

Ive had a problems with my loading bar crashing back to desktop after it loads up to full, like some people here but no solutions. Can somebody please explain??!? The Solutions don’t work.
All spec-ops mission works good but no missions work, except the gulag (but it crashes after 30 seconds, {when the rockets smash the towers after advancing two rights as the sniper in the heli.})
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!?
btw its the razor1911 crack, I managed to play all ACT1 and several missions up to the gulag properly but all problems happened after the gulag stopped working.. I’ve reinstalled, but still nothing working.
Here’s the problem. I can’t hear a thing in game only people talking through mic…

Hi.
My MW2 multiplayer has started crashing everytime I launch it. I’ve tried reinstalling, deactivating firewall and antivirus, but it still won’t work.
The screen just goes black and i have to press ctrl+alt+delete to get back to the desktop again. The weirdest thing is that it only happens in multiplayer.
When downloading the patch on PS3, the download simply gets stuck at a certain point and gives a error message. This is not an internet problem.
call of duty 6 doesn’t go to full screen, it opens in a little windows!
Hey,
I bought MW2 about a month and a half ago, and it ran perfectly fine for the first 20 days or so. For about the past month, whenever I play MP for 5-10 mins (often less), the game just freezes. The whole computer freezes, as my music stops, and I can’t get up task manager. Have to manually turn off the computer at the power button. This also happens in SP, although usually after about 10-15 mins.
Have updated my driver, and am perfectly above the minimum system specs. Have a 9800 GTX Nvidia video card, so not sure what the problem is, but would really, really like to play my game before I have to stop in 10 days.
Thanks.

Hello,
My Cod4 MW2 crashes randomly, usually after the first few games. Here is what happens, I will be playing a game, and out of nowhere wherever the light is intense in the game it will be displayed as green or pink pixels, and the sound will stutter. At first I was lead to believe this was over-heating, until I played for 5 hours straight without crashing, and other times I have played 5 mins and it crashed. I am running Windows XP, 3.2ghz processor, Nvidia Geforce GT 220, 2gigs RAM, and a 550watt psu. I tried disabling steam community in-game, along with changing the mp3 file in the miles directory to a .bak file and that really helped, but it still crashes every once in a while. Please help me demystify this crash!
Hello everyone!
Yeah, I have problem #6, but the link is to a Windows 7 file
Does anyone have a file for XP?
Or at least another way to fix the problem?
Someone please help me
My multiplayer game often freezes in the “choose class” screen at the beginning of new map and I need to reboot.
Intel C2D E6600, gtx 285, 2 GB.
Fail to run issue after splash screen. Deleted the following file and works fine.
Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\zone\english\mp_playlists.ff
whenever i try to play the game ( loading bar) the game suddenly crashes and this message is displayed : iw4sp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
i already verified the files cache and they appear to be fine dunno what is the problem . thanks
Alright, I have MW2 for the Xbox 360 (yeah I know, I play an xbox
) Anywho, I put in my game, works fine, I play a few games in multiplayer, kick some ass, ect ect. My problem is that when I go to the dashboard or exit MW2, my ‘gamer profile’ (the profile that connects all my saves and achievements to me) becomes ‘corrupted’. Now, I can solve this by deleting my gamer profile and recovering it from XBL, but there is always the possibility that it will not re-connect to my saves and I don’t want to risk it. Can anyone tell me why it’s doing this?

Hi
When I play the MP of COD MW2 after maybe 15-20 minutes
My computer crashes and I have to restart it, sometimes it is Just a black screen with a shooting like noise(not from the Guns In-Game) and some times it shows me a blue screen with the Same noise and it says that something’s wrong with my “ati3duag.dll” file.
If someone could please help me!
Thanks, Cobra
Cod MW2 crash me at start up [multiplayer game only], with black screen after changing resolution. I’ve cleaned my win startup [not to have applications open in background], i’ve set my sound option with basic acceleration as they said. Put Desktop resolution at 1024×768. Reinstalled and backupped. Nothing happens.

Hi! I played mw2 it works fine in single player, but I tried special ops with my friend. And we played about half an hour and it simply jumped to desktop and I had to restart the game. My friend saw that I had disappeared. It is not the biggest problem, but it is annoying. Please help me!
My PC:
amd phenom ii x3 720
msi hd 4770 cyclone
gigabyte ga-ma790xt-ud4p
2GB kingmax ddr3-1333
in cod 4 as well as mw2 when i set up my custom controls in the menu everything looks ok but when i try to play the entire number pad on my keyboard seems to disable as evry command i assign to it does not work in game.the possibility of the cheap keyboard circle in my head.but the odd thing is this:it only does this in cod4 and mw2,all other cod’s i have no problems at all.
Hi if i click on multiplayer icon it only shows a black screen that covers approx half of the screen if i click cntr alt delete it says its not responding plz help

Since installing Windows 7, I have run into issues during multiplayer. In every match my game hangs for a few seconds at a time, sometimes resulting in textures disappearing and everything turning neon colors and then switching back to normal again. Occasionally my monitor will shut off with no signal and come back again after several seconds.
My chipset and video card drivers are all up to date.
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 – 64bit home edition
GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
4gigs DDR2 memory
While downloading the recent patch 20 minutes ago; i recieved an error at 14% ending the install. My game won’t load now; and is simply all black… what do i do?
I have a problem with my graphics.
Some pixels are coloured instead of the colour it should be.
for example, when I get hit the blood on my screen turns out to be green squares instead of the red blood.
I updated my graphic card drivers and directX and disabled 3Dvision from nvdia.
my specs are:
Intel I7 920 processor
Asus P6T SE motherboard
GTX 260 Graphic card
12 GB ram ddr 3

Hi Guys. I’m trying to play MW2 Multiplayer, but when i press “Play”, 1 box apears; “Connecting to IWNet”
After that the screen turns black, an error have appeard; “IWNET_INVALIDVERSION”
Whats the solution??
Send E-mail to Yoshini@hotmail.com (Mark it with MW2)
Hey,
After having played MW2 for a while (completing single player and reaching lvl 61 in multiplayer) the multiplayer part stopped working.
My singleplayer part of the game works just fine, but when I open the multiplayer part I get a message telling me that the game didn’t close properly last time and that I should start it in safemode. Whether I choose safemode or not, the only thing that happens is a change in screen resolution and the game simply stops working.
I’ve tried to delete and reinstall the entire game 3 times (both by downloading it and installing by disc), but every time I start up the game I get the exact same error.
Had this problem for over two months now
Please help!!!

Game is running and has been and then I get the msg.
KA3 MVP mobo with amd 5400 processor, 2gig ram, 512 x1900xt GPU, x-fi extremegamer sound card, windows xp sp3, game freezes on exit, along with random graphic glitches during game, wherever there is a glitch, a black box is seen. sometimes the UAV is just a black box, sometimes the HUD countdowns or point pop ups are just black boxes. uniforms appear solid black sometimes. ive updated with latest video and sound drivers, turned sound down to basic acceleration, running game in 1024×768 same as desktop, ive also tried at lower resolutions to no avail. this system shouldnt have a problem running this game, ive played it on lesser rigs. ive disabled steam community ingame, ive followed nearly all the graphic suggestion fixes on this site that applied to my system….. any help would be awesome…
ps. also whenever a match is over, just after the player board is up, the game freezes, and i cant return to desktop, i have to restart system every time….

When I start up COD4 MW2 it beginnes as though there will be no problems for about a split second. The “I” for infinity ward will apear with sound, but the video will freeze and the sound will continue at normal pace for the length of the IW beginning.

SO please if you’ll can think of anything and get back to me, Thanks.

Just bought pc game and the multiplayer works but lags a bit but the CAMPAIGN game is REALLY SLOW with distorted sound. I’ve tried everything but cannot get the game to work!!! HELP…..
For the people whose screen froze on startup and their cursor disappears for at least a few minutes, delete the file “mp_playlists.ff” inside your
zone->english folder
(C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\zone\english)
Hope this helps, it did for me.
I can log on and stuff, but when the game actually opens. so like the game starts. There are black squares where my stuff should be, My map is just a black square, My cross hair is 4 little black rectangles, my gun is a black outline, people are black outlines… Please help
Running into a problem during play with another player in another State. During chat in game we hear three clicks and then the chat ends and the game closes . Error message states 10 seconds to reconnect to other player however it does not reconnect. We have tried to disable all firewalls just to see if that would fix the problem however it still continues to happen. We are both set up for multiplayer and chat in game so any ideas for a fix would be much appreciated.
While I am playing the game there’s a sound coming out from my cpu. How do i fix this?
I HAVE THE SOLUTION, MAY BE IT WILL NOT WORK WITH SOME COMPUTERS, WITH DIFFERENTS VIDEO CARDS BUT WITH THE MINE IT IS WORKING VERY WOOD.
U HAVE TO GO TO NVIDIA’S WEBSITE, U MUST FIND A NVIDIA DRIVER, (THE DRIVER MUST WORK WITH YOUR VIDEO CARD , IN THE LIST , U HAVE TO CHOISE YOUR VIDEO CARD ) THEN U DONWLOAD THE DRIVEN AND U HAVE TO RUN IT, THEN, HIT ON MW2 , AND U WILL PROOVE THAT IT REALLY WORKS.
COPY THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE:
” http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us ”
THEN U CHOICE:
IN PRODUCT TYPE: THE KIND OF NVIDIA VIDEO CARD THAT U HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE GeForce BUT U MAYBE HAVE ANOTHERONE.
PRODUCT SERIES : THE SERIE OF YOUR NVIDIA, FOR EXAMPLE IF I HAVE A GeForce, I CHOISE SERIES 7, BECAUSE IT IS THE MINE, BUT U MAY HAVE ANOTHER SERIES AND U HAVE TO LOOK YOUR OWN NVIDIA VIDEO CARD, OF COURSE.
OPERATING SYSTEM: U CHOISE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM, FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA.
LANGUAGE: IT IS VERY EASY
U CHOISE YOUR COUNTRY
OK THEN U HIT SEARCH, U DOWNLOAD THE FILE, AND U RUN IT.
OK IT IS ALL, SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
GOODBYE!
Hello i am having a huge problem with modern warfare 2, it just doesnt load! when i click it, it tells me syncing and then nothing happens. Sometimes spec ops works but rarely. I am using vista 64 bit can someone please help.

Hello!
My biggest problem with MW2 happens on and off.
I can be online playing a few maps and then quit to get something to eat. When I try to join a little later I get Connecting to IWNet and it just stays there.
Whats really weird about it is that my friend is on the same connection as me and he can join without problem. He sometimes get the same problem and I can usually join without problem during that time. We have been through just about any attempted solution online so far and nothing has helped.
We have a 20/2 Mbit connection shared through a switch and MW2 is the only game we are having problems with.
All necessary ports should be open and our systems are more than enough to run the game. We are using Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64 respectively.
All help will be appreciated.

Help!!! Installed new graphics card (MSI R4350—MD512H). Since then I’ve been experiencing two problems: 1) the graphics are not stable. My character shakes when I move, I am able to see through walls, smoke and my aim point are black boxes. 2) My antivirus progam jumps into autoscan mode, minimizes MW2 and my desktop configuration is reconfigued.
Any suggestions?

could anybody help me? sometimes badges in the ranking list, helicopters and grenades on the minimap become “angular black squares” and when the game is over, the ranking list freezes.

pls give me some tips.

Right, so I was having all the freeze/crash problems with MW2. Faulty module nvd3dum.dll, blue screen & the like. It was BRUTAL!!! All of this was STILL going on even after I updated all of my drivers, turned the GFX settings down, adjusted the screen res, tested me RAM & such. The problem, as it turned out, was HEAT!! I was at 71c idle (which is WAY TOO HOT)!!!
I knew this had to be fixed, so I took the side off of my case, (if yours is already off, clean it & prep it to be put back on)I removed my EVGA 8800GTS 640MB & all of my fans. I then CLEANED THEM ALL, removing all of the dusty crud!! If you have a filter on your intake fan, be sure to CLEAN THAT AS WELL!! I also made sure to rearrange my cables in the case so as not to obstruct AIR FLOW (keeping the side of your case off will not keep your PC running cooler, the side MUST BE ON in order for your fans to do their job properly).
Taking these steps have reduced my idle temps from 71c to 48c & now while playing ANY game, including MW2 with all of the setting CRANKED UP, my temps haven’t exceed 60c & the crashes have stopped.
I hope this info is helpful!!
