before pple start questioning on why i haven't posted this over at the Rage3d forums, i have and didn't get an adquete reply back so im hoping one u can help out..

so everyone's heard of the Call of Duty error eh? well im not familar with what the error does.. (some claim that the error causes a hard roobt while others say their monitor looses signal because of it) but for me it does this:

i am near the end of the training exercise and then when i open the gate the next level starts loading.. once the status bar gets to about 80% i get this error and it kicks me back to the desktop.

there is a thread over at the Rage3d forums in which a few pple suggest to switch from the new drivers to the 3.7 Cat's but as u will see below, i already have them :|


so now here are the vitals FYI:

Video card: 9600 Pro, 128mb
drivers: using the 3.7 Cat's
fastwrite status: disabled
recover vpu: not available in 3.7 version

so please help?
 
Havent experienced this, might wanna email them about it or something. The only thing ive had a problem with is that the network code and all that is NOT suitable for 64 players, i dont even see why they put it in...its ridiclous when half of the team spawns into each other and cant do shit...alright sorry for hijackin it lol just had to get that out

i swear about a week ago i saw 2 threads about COD... certainly some of u must of heard or run into an error..


speak up :dork:
 
Well man I wish I could help, But if non players come accross an error like that, we simply cannot help!!!!
 
Hi Dr. Freeman, long time no talk ;-)

I have had a similar problem, during the car chase level (later in the game) my screen went black and I got a VPU recover message stating that the ATI card (9700 pro) did not respond to requests anymore.
I read that this was a known issue with ATi cards but no patch is available up till now. I have d/l the Catalist 3.9 and tweaked the in game video settings a it (FSAA settings I believe), and up till now I did not have the crash..

hope this helps
 
try different drivers... thats all i can say as i didnt have a single problem running CoD on my PC! :E
 
DeusEx2: I had the same issue, and disabling VPU Recover eliminated it for me.
I have no idea about the other problem though.
 
I haven't even come across ANY errors in CoD. But, as others said try different drivers. My dad has the same video card as you and he is playing the game fine.
 
its a bitch of an error, it will either restart you or boot you to the recoverer. This happened to me more than once when i had the 3.9's. I went to the 3.7's and everything is fine now.
 
Try turning off AA and AF, that fixed it for me. (I had the same problem on the 2nd or 3rd mission where you ride off in the car.)
 
thanks for the replies everyone, at least u guys gave me hope because for the past week i have been un-installing and re-installing the game, changing drivers etc.. the works and nothing was working til late late last nite after reading this thread again..

guess it was sort of like good luck having pple respond, then thinking "okay, im gonna re-install one more time and if it doesn't work **** it!" and wam!!! it worked!!! :eek:

I'v been on a server with 54 players and it was ****ing hilarious, once the game got going you couldn't hear your own footsteps and OMG there was tracer fire everywhere it was like being in sp :cheese:
 
i've played on 64 player servers and i've never had spawning problems on any map...it's a hell of a lot of fun.

ya know.. it would help had u read through the whole thread instead of just the initial few that u probably did.. cause otherwise u would have noticed a post of mine in which i thank everyone that helped with suggestions but also mentioned how the problem went away.

but anyway..

No, I thought he already had the game. Because to have an error with the game...you'd need the game first.

Same thing happened to me in the same location, the only difference is that it happened on two other occasions afterwards and twice during the demo. Oh yeh, and I have the 3.9 drivers (as well as 9700)
 
Oh BTW disableing fast writes oddly enough increases performance, it's still not as fast as it should be. Hopefully the patch (not hotfix) will fix that.

I was playing with about 50 odd players last night on a map way too small for that many people and it was just like playing battleships, throw a grenade or 3 and hope it hits someone.
