How to fix COD 2 Crashing

[BlackBird]

Singleplayer:

Graphics settings change crash:

1. Run the game at least one time and create a profile, so it can create the config file.

2. Open notepad, and then open a file called config.cfg (you can find it by gonig to steam - steamapps - common - Call of Duty 2 - main - players, and then go to the folder that has the same name as the profile you created in the game.

3. Now change this line seta r_mode "Type your resolution between the quotation marks" for example: seta r_mode "1920x1080"


Multiplayer:

1. For Windows 10 users if you get a black screen when you run the game for the first time, just keep waiting. It can take up to 5 minutes for the game to work, and this only happens when you start the game for the first time. On Windows 7 I didn't experience this issues. It only happened on Windows 10 for me, but if you have that issue on WIndows 7 just wait for at least 5 minutes, and the game will work.

2. If the game keeps crashing and saying that it stopped working, plug in a microphone or any device with recording abilities (such as a webcam) to your PC, and keep it pluged always when you are playing the game, or you can try to enable Stero Mix from the playback devices list on your computer as some other users suggested that this method works also.
