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:
http://donewmouseaccel.blogspot.nl/2...ation-fix.html
and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2908279

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.

There is a patched version of 1.3 that solves the black screen issue: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...-LuKeStorm.rar
I haven't had any issues with this patch and i'm able to run it without compatibility settings on Windows 11.

Nice, seems legit, byte compare for 1.3:

Code:

  arr[0x33ee0] = 0xc3; // was 0x51
  arr[0x33fc2] = 0x90; // was 0xe8
  arr[0x33fc3] = 0x90; // was 0x09
  arr[0x33fc4] = 0x90; // was 0xcb
  arr[0x33fc5] = 0x90; // was 0xfe
  arr[0x33fc6] = 0x90; // was 0xff
  arr[0x65190] = 0xc3; // was 0x6a
  arr[0x65191] = 0x90; // was 0x00
  arr[0x65209] = 0x90; // was 0x74
  arr[0x6520a] = 0x90; // was 0x66
  arr[0x664cd] = 0xeb; // was 0x75
  arr[0x664ce] = 0x2d; // was 0x06
  arr[0xb3b7c] = 0x90; // was 0x75
  arr[0xb3b7d] = 0x90; // was 0x09
  arr[0xb8dd0] = 0xc3; // was 0x55
  arr[0xb9569] = 0x74; // was 0x90
  arr[0xb956a] = 0x0b; // was 0x90

to fix the problem all you have to do is to enable stereomix in the record setting in windows sound settings
