Windows 10 and Call of Duty 2

[Tally]

Yuri helped me. I hadn't the folder 'players' in main. As I added this folder with player files, the blackscreen after running CoD2 disappeared and I could play CoD2.
I had no compatibility changes. If I change it to WinXP SP2, then it will not show the blackscreen, it will show only my desktop.

But it takes a little bit time after CoD2 is loaded. Is that a Windows 10 bug?

It's not a "bug". It is just the way legacy DirectX works - it emulates older versions of the DirectX runtime, and that takes some time. Using compatibility mode cuts out the emulation time, which is why it is better to run it that way.

Okay. But my Call of Duty 2 can only run by Windows 10, no other compatibilities. Else, my PC crashes.

Compatability (WinXP SP2) works fine for me, but I sometimes get flickering horizontal distortions and line on my screen in CoD2.

haha easy fix

Just go into Control Panel then Playback Then Right Click Over Speakers Disable Then Run your cod2

O yeah make sure you have the correct sound driver installed not just the default windows 10 driver if you like sound lol

Hey guys, the "fix" that juansterloked posted worked for me, but I can't get sound obviously. Re-enabling the speakers (headset) just crashes the game. Any idea how else I can get it to work?

Plug something into your microphone port.
