CoD2MP_s.exe Slow Start

i just set com_hunkMegs to 512 and it increases the load time of cod2 a lot. So keep com_hunkMegs on the default 160.

Same problem here with Windows 8.1. (DirectX7 and ATI HD4850)
Call of Duty 2 in running compatibility mode caused noticeable lags in mouse movements, and the r_gamma isn't working too
Solution for me: Come back to Win7 x64

Heres a fix for cod2 on win8+

Use cod2fix.reg and one of the items in the winfixes folder (choose your appropriate scaling percentage)

Fix based on:

and

Good luck

Edit: after applying the registry fix, execute the following command:

Code:

Rundll32 apphelp.dll,ShimFlushCache

Then, reboot your pc

The problem lies somewhere in the DirectDraw emulation in Windows 8(.1).

For me fix was simple. I just connect my headphones through jack or USB and then i just enabled mix stereo.

I had the same issue with windows 10. It got solved when i set the compatibility settings as shown below. No problem with fps draw either.
