cod wont load

ill double click sod mp and it freezes and it says theirs a promblem. looked for a server cache cant find one of those. any help? im supposed to scrim at 8... ahhh

scrim practice went to hell.
idk what was going on, and or scrim, nobody was on but dingo, and romo was on but he dissapeared.

I was there for a bit too.. but I'm under the influence of a Migraine so...

I have noticed Pap that since the latest Xfire Update.. cod has been laggy.. and not loading right.. Not sure if this is a global Bug.. or just me =]

dat right me networkz and half of vixen was there: respect (song r-e-s-p-e-ct u know what u mean to me respect)

it said there was 6 people in there??? lol

i was on and i got a 1sgt score. i was about to head into the scrim server then my dad came home and i left.

well i double click cod mp and it wont even go to the grey screen that says join a game, multiplayer option, start a server, quit, ect. it just says something went wrong and its frozen. error report comes up. i uninstalled cod, restarted, and reinstalled and i have the same problem. if i cant fix this, it may be the end of cod for me.. help

yea.. Its been doing it for me too.. I'm not sure whats up.. it takes it 5 minutes to load CoD... it sucks..


So hang in there hopefully it will auto fix..

delete your servercache.dat in your cod folder where the codmp.exe is located

and the _CODMP_ file

pete there were a couple-doa people and one turned out 2 be divine i later found out, and vixxy used some tricks

i deleted the srver cache, but the codmp file i cannot find... unless you mean this:

its still doesnt load form the icon, i have to load thru xfire

dont delete the .exe, maybe your shortcut on the desktop is wrong or something. I dunno, usually deleting the servercache.dat fixes 99.9% of the problems. the other 0.1% needs a reinstall.

i completely reinstalled.... still no good. idk what to do with this.

define uninstallation? Did u just click the uninstall icon? That leaves alot of registry still intact that may cause the error. I recommend CCleaner. Uninstall it usually, delete the folder if there is one, and use ccleaner and config the options to all of them, if when u click an option and a pop up box appears click no and move to the next option. Then press clean. It might take a while if this is ur first time. THEN go to the registry option, click scan for issues, then fix them by usually deleting all of the issues, then repeat the scan because some registry are interconnected with one another. Then cclean again. Finally restart your computer and install the game.

wowzor, i think your going to have to explain where some of these things are located...

i have no idea what ccleaner is. or how to get it. but me and speak spent hours trying to figure this out. i deleted every cod file i could find. unistalled from every location. i also followed the thread on this website on how to uninstall. rebooted and still same problem. here are some things me and speak found out:
1. cod will start thru Xfire, and if you right click the desktop codmp button and select "open as administrator," it will open. but if you try to open codmp via double click on desktop or thru cdrive it will not. a message comes up asking to play in safe mode. i click no (or yes). then the screen gos black and it says codmp has detected a problem, when windows finds a solution it will let you know. you click ok, and it exits. also, vent does not work in cod mp now. i have cod thru an original disc version. when i double click the single player option, it opens fine and vent will work during it. ive deleted server caches and deleted from recycle bin. something is killing me here and i cant figure it out. neither me or speak have found a solution yet. im sorry this is so long but its necessary. also this problem started when someone hit a telephone pole down the street and i CI'ed during gameplay. when power was restored.... this is what i was left with. if youve read this far, im sorry. any inputs?

Wow, ccleaner is. Pretty common (google-able) program. Papalones, deleting files is not good enough. Users must clean registry as well. If the problem persists the operating system is the problem. (xfire may bpass the error involving manually stArting the program.

Also ccleaner is free.

It also sounds like the problem network connectivity of ur cod. Since when u start to play cod online, it firsts checks ur ip address to see if it is the one u register the cd key with. Maybe that disconnect u HAd caused some kind of corruption.


Lastly, check for viruses and other malware using ur antivirus. If u don't have one google some free ones

Papalone;

CCleaner can be found here.

Also if you need a anti-virus for free...
I would suggest AVG which can be found here.

Now I'm thinking you have but not sure...
Have you followed these instructions to the "T"?

Now I would also suggest checking to see where xfire is loading CoD from.. You can do this by...
1. Opening the main xfire interface (where all your friends are listed)
2. Click on "Tools" and go to "Options" and select the "Games Tab"
3. It will now "Detect all installed games" once that finishes it will display all the installed games.
4. Select "Call of Duty Multiplayer" and see what the game path is. It will be displayed on the right next to the game name (pic included below)
5. Copy down the game path and go find it in your computer.
6. Try launching CoD from the game path you found above.

Now another two things you can try are these:
1. Try launching CoD MP from the Single player Main Menu.

2. Try launching CoD MP from the CD's option menu.

Let me know if any of those work if not let me know. And we shall try something else.

thanks vix for that neat way of putting. i felt like these people knew what these things are...

c:\progra~2\callof~1 <--- that is my game path but when i type that into the searchbar at the start menu, it shows no results. but in my cdrive program files if i try to open it from the cod folder, i get the same problem. the only way that i can open cod is by right clicking cod and opening as admin or thru also thru xfire. or thru cd option menu

1.i followed the directions to the absolute T.

2.switching via single player does NOT work.

3.cod option menu WILL open multiplayer but as usual vent will not work while in cod

i shall try out this ccleaner when i get some more free time and let you know how this turns out

omg... i ccleaned it and followed the steps you gave me wowzors.. problem still exists.i think another program is doing this or cod is corrupt idk what else to do

Well the good thing is you can play cod still lol...

DO you have Vista?

If so run Vent as Admin to get it to work in game =]

Vista is definitely not the problem for I am using Vista with latest updates. All I did is disable UAC (User Account Control) from control panel. Nothing else like compatibility modes or run as administration. Also I can multitask (running ventrilo and Call of Duty at the same time) without any problems

Try updating your PC's operating system. Now the issue is upon your operating system.


Then again... it could be XFires fault. But it might be risky to uninstall it.

Definitely a clean re-installation of your operating system would fix the problem according to the information you have provided. But it is a hassle and time consuming and impossible with the proper use of backing up your data.

That would be a definite last resort wowzors.. you would have to back everything up and everything else..

Papalone,
I would suggest attempting to run Vent as admin and trying to play CoD. I have other friends who used Vista that had that exact same problem. And all they did was run as admin and it worked.

Also if you can launch Mp via xfire or off the disk.. then I would just suggest doing that. (I always launch via xfire)...


Just remember.. If it works.. why tinker with it.. cause then it might not work..
