CoD won't fully start up

[kaisey]

[Unfortunately this doesn't work for me - you said you could get to the menu though, so our problems are probably different :


I had the same problem only i have a hard copy CE. I got nothing, hard drive would start to work then nothing.
I was told that on board sound can effect some games (C97 realtek)
I went and got a USB head set and I got into the game (menus)
The game loaded but i got black screen, but sound is there, I then upgraded GFX card driver to the suggested 270.51 now when game loads it goes back to windows screen with no mouse.

I have similar specs to you guys core2 3ghz Nvidia 860gtx

Think i will get sound card next and disable onboard.

Interesting, thanks. I do have onboard sound but don't have a soundcard to test with. I'll be glad to know what you find out!

Hmmm, there are a few extras(like Direct X, .Net 4 client etc), that SHOULD auto-run on installing the game, but seem to not work properly in the Steam version.

I wonder if they are causing issues on the DVD version too?

Can you browse to the folders/files on your DVD? There maybe a way to try and run the installers from there.

I have also added launcher.exe(CoD) into my Nvidia Control panel under: Manage Settings/Program Settings, where I changed CUDA-GPUs to ALL>Use These GPUs> GT330M(my video card). I also turned THreaded Optimisation to -ON, but left everything else. Not sure if that did much, but I can fly over water OK.

That's all I got sorry.

So your gt330m is working? is that a laptop, what drivers are you using?
Ive got the samsung r780 gt 330m got game through steam, but damed if i can get it to work
Starting to think, this is a steam problem

[Kizko]

I think that the steam version might not have downloaded some files, like shaders. Can someone with a working copy of CoD locate their shaders folder so we can compare it?

We should really get help from 1C, how can we get their attention on this?

While people are complaining about lag issues, we can't even get the friggin game to start and it's been 4 days since purchase...

I enabled the logging feature (turn off the Steam Cloud and enable log in conf.ini). An unhandled exception is shown in the logfile, unfortunatelly it does not help since it does not give a clue where the problem might be (code is obfuscated).

Main begin:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: startIndex cannot be larger than length of string.

I tried uninstalling sound drivers and disabling the sound card in bios, and also doing those video card settings.
Neither worked for me. :\

Bump! Anyone got a fix or ideas for this yet?

[Sobric]

Although I've not solved it at all - I did notice when fiddling with config's that I didn't seem to have all the info that other who can start the game do... specifically config info on screen resolution and D3D render:

I did not have the bolded lines in either config file (the Steam or 1c folder). It's not solved the issue, but perhaps indicates what's going wrong?
