cod2 was working great since i first got it in feb. but as of 2 weeks ago the MP just sits at the splash screen and takes 30 seconds-1minute to load and it shows up as "not responding" in the task manager until it finally loads. i even reformatted to try and fix the problem(after reinstalling cod2 itself) and it still did it!

was hoping the patch would fix it but nope, sigh. if i disable my network card, it boots up just fine and fast.

the sp boots up fine either way.

wtf

i've had that happen a few times too. just end it in task manager and try again. usually gets it working.
negative, it's repetitive

odd. dunno whats wrong with your pc then.

Change your graphics mode setting to DX7 and that will clear up and the fps will almost double. Of cource you lose a lot of the eyecandy but honestly I am not that impressed by all the extra eyecandy.

i need a new fps anyway but i don't know what to play. fear doesn't have pb and isn't all that fun to begin with. never could get into quake but maybe i should try it out again.
i loved the original UT but ever since they came out with the UT2k games i haven't liked it as much. for some reason i suck at CS even though i do fairly well in other fps games.
red orchestra is just too sim-like, i don't like how the weapon react in DOD. never liked farcry that much... so yeah, i'm pretty much out of luck until something new comes along.

what i really need is a mmorpg to satisfy me. hurry up Age of Conan!!!

Your welcome to drop into our server we have pb enabled and are running the Extreme+ mod. IP is 69.28.221.139

according to the server browser and the server info you don't have PB enabled.

It turns out that COD2 kept crashing because Punkbuster and NFAM (Nvidia Forceware Access Manager) have issues. I uninstalled NFAM and COD2 worked perfectly. Now for some overdue playing.

i finally got a longer response from the clan who runs the server i play on. they said they don't enable PB because they catch more people cheating themselves than PB can.

I left PB enabled to get those who have not updated thier hacks. I still watch people though because no sooner had PB been out then people were out there updating the hacks.

Still makes me wonder about that clan, why they took took so long to respond and why they did not really enabled it. But that is just me. If any one ever want to play death match with the AWE mod, let know me. I am always looking for a good game.

"Rare AMD dual-core bug in single player that stopped health regeneration"

So THAT'S why I wasn't recovering any health in the demo! I was really confused why the game was suddenly so difficult when I tested it on my new AMD x2 system.

Sadly the notes don't contain anything about a performance improvement. :(

i'm disapointed too

I remember the demo running great on my P4 2.8 and Radeon 9800 Pro at 1280x1024. How much more performance do you need?
