AVG Antivirus
 

Basically ABG anti virus detects rendobj.dll as a virus and deletes it.

To get COD running again you need to

1) disable the virus scan (or exclude the file if anyone can help me there!)

2) Then you need to go to steam right click on COD and go to properties.

3) Goto to the local files Tab

4) Click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

Let steam find the missing file and download them again.


***UK_Tree - I was going to post this in your thread but couldn't find it????? Cheers! how did you go getting CoD running?


Bit of a pain but it works! (rem,ember to enable your AV when your finished playing!!!

Cheers

The Mods either delete or lock all my threads these days mate, but yes i had to disable AVg that was the only way round it, Ive had a quick play about but my FPS was terrible, I'll try and mess about later. First impressions - not good.

You can add the file as an exception.
1) open AVG
2) Click on Tools along the top.
3) Select Advanced Settings
4) Select PUP Exceptions
5) Add rendobj.dll
6) click apply then ok
7) Launch CoD

Many, many Thanks!

I switched from AVG after years of using it exclusively, to Microsoft AV which is, in my opinion, much better and without ads, not to mention being free as well.

+1 on the thanks.

You could always go to Resident Shield in AVG menu and add Cliffs Of Dover as an exception.

Had the same problem, uninstalled it and instaleld Microsoft Security Essentials instead, no hassles.:cool:

1. Download Avast Free - lower mem foot print / lower false positives for games.
1. Uninstall AVG
2. Reboot
3. Install Avast Free Version
4. No need to reboot if running Win7
5. Enjoy gaming ;)

basically verify your files and loose a DRM activation in the process....another bug


getting fed up:evil::evil::evil::evil:

+1.
Spotted the AVG issue andcame on to post about it but saw it was already covered.

Salute

What is the full name of the rendobj.dll file, where is it located, which folder?

Never mind, found it.

Thanks for that Deaddtick, I couldn't find the path the other way [PUP], will try this now.

The correct procedure is:
1) Open AVG Interface
2) Click on Tools along the top.
3) Select Advanced Settings
4) Select Excluded Items under Resident Shield
5) Add rendobj.dll (if can't find must recover CoD installation)
6) Click apply then ok
7) Launch CoD

PUP stands for Potentially Unwanted Program, it's not the case with rendobj.dll

I run AVG and had no issues with my CoD install, not even aware there was a problem? Not flown online yet though, perhaps this will trigger something?

It was a commercial DVD copy, perhaps this is different?

this is what my launcher has stop working log says

Description:
Stopped working

Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Local\Temp\WER2B35.tmp.v ersion.txt
C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Local\Temp\WER3DFA.tmp.m dmp

I think I have fixed it, no crashes yet...fingers crossed.
I reinstalled Direct X and used AVG Tune up, it found over 5000 reg errors on my system, not sure which solved the problem..but its something else to try for anyone experiencing similar problems.

The false positive detection has been corrected in the latest release/update of AVG

For what it's worth, my experience with latest free version of AVG 2011 is that the "identity protection" module is a cpu parasite. It is always running some script in the background no matter what, so I would advise disabling that part of the program when gaming. You can do this in the user interface.

1) open AVG
2) Click on Tools along the top.
3) Select Advanced Settings
4) Select PUP Exceptions
5) Add rendobj.dll
6) click apply then ok
7) Launch CoD

On step 5, you have to know the location of the file... I can't find it with search... I guess it got deleted? I tried to use STEAM file integrity to restore but no dice... Hmmm... Can someone give the full path for the problem file?

AVG 2011 is a turd. Just get rid of it. Try Avast! instead and you will find your system running faster too.

The false positive detection of rendobj.dll has been corrected by AVG, you no longer need to follow this procedure.

So, sounds like I need to update AVG... Still can someone email me the rendobj.dll as the search function in Win 7 did not reveal it on my machine (let alone its location), so it looks like I need the file (and need to know where to put it).

Please PM me for email. Thanks.

Check with Steam game cache verification, then CoD should work, if not there's could be other problems that prevent the game from working

Try commodo. It even has a game mode that prevents those annoying programs checking for updateds, d/loading stuff etc and wrecking your connection while you play.
