CoD won't fully start up

[Deadstick]

I forgot to post this here:

IF you bought the game off Steam as I did, you will need to:

1) Browse to your game folder and find the folder 'redist'.

I found mine here :C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist

2) Try running the Direct X installer*. ( This was the problem for me, but I had tried running other installers in there too).

It worked for me. Note that I tried ALL installers in this folder, restarted, and it worked.

*look for the DXSETUP file.

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

Didn't work for me either.

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?

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?
