Call of Duty Crashes on TI4200

Hi All,

I have a P4 with 256 MEG of RAM and a PNY GEFORCE TI4200. I was using
the latest 52.16 drivers, but have tried re-installing older drivers
as well with the same results.

I'll be in the game for 15 seconds or so, start to see some weird
colors on the screen and then the whole things wigs out and crashes.
MOHAA: Breakthrough runs fine, it is only call of duty that is doing
this.

Is anyone else having a problem? I've been waiting for this game a
while and this is depressing I've tried going back to the 42.XX
drivers to no avail. I've also tried setting the audio to basic
acceleration as well as running the game in safe mode. Same thing
happens everytime.

Thanks for any help!

Well many others have had no problem such as this.
your problem sounds a lot like what the Geforce 2 cards did (on some
intel motherboards e.g. BX) in the quake3 games, when the FSB / AGP
speed was set too high, when run at AGP 2x or higher.

I assume Quake3 has no problem?
You aren't using any funky quality settings, are you?


Gibs When you kill 6 people in Unreal Tournament
it is "MonsterKill", In Quake3 it is "Excellent",
in Counter-Strike it is "Kicked by console"

I played the "Call of Duty" demo last night and it worked okay, except
that it had these annoying pauses where the game sort of went on a
break for two seconds, but eventully we'd get back to the war in the
ruins of France.

It sounds like the problem many Radeon users have with the latest drivers.
Try disabling fastwrites and undo any overclocking..

I've been getting that exact same problem on occasion Nada. I played the
game for almost 3 hours last night without a hitch, but just started
experiencing it today. Odd thing is I've never had a problem like this on
any other q3 engined game, and this is probably the 4th game on my machine
utilizing the engine.

"Elite Force II" demo (also Q3 engine) didn't have those pauses, but I
noticed weird "shaking" effect where you'd look from left to right and
the textures would just shake like they would have a seizure. This
happened outside on a landing platform where it was dark and
thundering. Very annoying and very odd. I don't know if this is a
driver bug or what, but the problem was most unusual, as it was with
"Call of Duty" its paused moments. I've played with the 45 Detonators
for the last two months.

try removing any copy software you have ie clone cd ,alchol etc just don it
myself and call of duty works fine part of the anty copy software theyre
getting better

just because i'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me
