s1_mp64_ship.exe -> user32.dll error

[cHAiiNSAw rides 4 #P.O.N.Y.]

after patching the game steam doesnt start cod-aw anymore and shows a simple windows-error-message

starting the game with the s1_mp63_ship.exe i get a error [ "DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo" in DLL "User32.dll" not found]

i updated windows vista 64 servicepack 2, my nvidia geforce gtx 770 graphic-card and tested my local game-files about three times.

had no issues before the update

any ideas?

Oh, I guess they just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up Vista users.
Same problem here. Will try launch it on Win8.1 to confirm this.

[Rik_k]

same here, also a vista user

[Max]

Yup, Vista problem. I can run the game on win8.1. Same laptop. GTX765M, even can launch with outdated driver. (I use Vista as main OS)


They need to have it fixed right ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ now.

Maybe I should try copy User32.dll from system32 to game root folder.

The DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo function should be available in Windows Vista as this page said: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553903%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Maybe SH accidently massed up the code, make the game can't find the User32.dll on Vista.

nope, that error is Vista only. The main exe is s1_mp64_ship.exe/s1_sp64_ship.exe

I don't think the problem is because user32.dll itself. I even tried to put Win7's user32.dll to game root. Still got the same massage. Unless they want me to replace the system32 one.

u telling me the game ran decent for months and that some of us have above 300 hours of gameplay because we are lucky?!?
i think its because they are incompetents, if vista user could play it why not let them instead of making impossible for them?
we still spend money on their product, we were fans of the franchise so why upset all the vista users with a freaking update?!!!

Vista (SP2) have DX11. And the game was able to play and runs fine before the April update. Now, just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ "display device information" line have problem and boom.

That's not about lucky or unlucky.

some games run even if its not completely supported
just like windows 10 not supported but works.
time to move up it is worth the windows performance gain alone.
Vista was horrid at games and lots of other things.

Vista somewhat even have better performance than win7 or 8.1(EG: like source engine game, IW engine)
The game was very fine at launch, while win 7 & 8.1 suffering from random frame drop. (I have both Vista & 8.1 so I know that) Until they broke it, can't even launch the game.

Anyone got the shadow copies of s1_mp64_ship.exe and s1_sp64_ship.exe before the April patch?

[Max]

Okay. I got the game fixed. Just used hex editor replaced those commands:

     DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo
    GetDisplayConfigBufferSizes
    QueryDisplayConfig

with the "GetCursorPos" thing. The game launch.
Since it has VAC enabled. I don't know if I use the edited exe to play the game online (which meanMP, exo survival or zombies) will result the ban of not. So play at your own risk.

I'll upload the files and post them in a new thread in no time.

That's cool someone figured that out...but if you pre-ordered the game cost 59.99. 99.99 if you got season pass.

You can get Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 for 99.00 or less.

Wouldn't it be smarter to upgrade to a newer, faster, and more secure and supported OS than risk a VAC ban (losing the game)?

I'm not a Vista basher...I call it Windows 6.9a...but instead of doing all that extra crap why not just upgrade?

I remember seeing people saying they got VAC bans for using some 3rd party app to let you play this (or Ghosts) with less than minimum RAM. 8 GB of RAM is cheaper than the game plus season pass...
