Buffer Overrun Error FIX
This should fix the whole "Buffer overrun detected!" error that so many people are running into.

1. Go to the game's folder (C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Call of Duty)
2. Change the name of the "CoDSP" file to "mohaa"
3. Open up your Steam Library and click the "+ ADD A GAME..." button in the lower left-hand corner of the window.
4. Click "Add a Non-Steam game..."
5. Click "Browse..."
6. Go to the game's folder and select the newly-renamed "mohaa" file.
7. Click "Open"
8. Go back to your Steam Library and right-click on the newly-added "mohaa" game
9. Click on "Properties" and change the game's name to something more Call of Duty-ish.
10. Use this to launch your game from now on.
11. Profit??

Anyway, I hope this helps. Cheers!

Yeah. It's the one way. But I know another. Same, but more comfortable for people who have United Offensive. Later I would give for all it way. But not now, because I write this all from mobile and I want sleep.

Download this launcher for COD 1 and COD UO. He is on russian but I wish that you understand how to use it. Let this file on game folder. And do what guy upstairs said you(Add a steam game and etc...) Rename... When you open launcher for you will appear a window with 2 variants. COD 1 and COD UO. Under each variant will be 2 buttons. Left button mean SP. Right MP. Download and use. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ywp4gmbwu4i42lv/launcher.exe?dl=0

You're a life saver, works perfectly!
Is there a fix like this for United Offensive that doesn't involve downloading anything?

Multiplayer is a seperate program. Go back to files and change the singleplayer .exe to something else, and then name the Multiplayer exe to mohaa.
I FOUND A FIX FOR BOTH Call of Duty and United Offensive at the same time!

DO THE REGULAR "MOHAA" FIX FIRST!

1. Copy the entire Call of Duty folder to your desktop.
2. Rename it "Call of Duty United Offensive"
3. In the folder, rename "CoDUOSP" as "mohaa", make sure that the Call of Duty is the default "CoDSP".
4. Drag the folder from your desktop into steamapps>common. It should be there along with your other game folders and the original Call of Duty folder.
5. Just like with the normal "mohaa" fix, go into steam, add a non-steam game, click browse, go to the NEW folder, click the United Offensive "mohaa", and click "add selected programs" in steam. Go to the new shortcut, right click and click "propertires", and rename it to something more like "Call of Duty: United Offensive".
6. Use this to launch it from now on.

If you did this correctly, there should be a folder for Call of Duty and another for United Offensive. In the Call of Duty folder, the singleplayer .exe for Call of Duty should be "mohaa". In the United Offensive folder, the singleplayer .exe for Unted Offensive should be "mohaa". Both "mohaa"s should have shortcuts in steam, and should launch from there and work. If you want to make a desktop shortcut for either, right click the steam shortcut and click the option for creating a desktop shortcut.

The fix works, but it doesn't resolve the problem if I want to play with friends on e. g. GameRanger.
