This is just a little topic to help people having problems running Call of Duty 2.

1 - You get the "Your video card or driver does not support alpha blending " or "dynamic lighting" etc.. error message when trying the run the game.

This means that your graphics card drivers may need updating or that your graphics card needs upgrading.

Having this problem too:
Can you tell me how I would know if card needs upgrading? I've downloaded new driver from nVidia site but it would not launch due to hardware issue.
My card is "NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400. Will that do the job? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks

Hello cams and welcome to Lockergnome!

The GeForce2 Ultra card is on the supported graphics card list but the MX isn't.
Try going to this site, it will scan your computer for compatibility with the game.

When you installed the new drivers did you uninstall the existing ones?
Also try updating your sounds card drivers as well, close all unnecessary background tasks and try lowering your desktop to 800x600 32bit colour before running the game.

Hello, I recently just got the CoD2 COLLECTOR'S EDITION for christmas.
I needed a new graphics card, so i bought a GeForce FX 5500.(I was on a budget.)
I tried the site above(this explains all the ^^ and |||). It said I was able to run the game.
Although, whenever I put my DISC ONE of CALL OF DUTY COLLECTOR'S EDITION the little disc appears next to my cursor. It flashes on and off, but no Auto-Setup, I know how to disable the Auto-Setup, and it is currently enabled. I checked My Computer and it shows that my F: Drive, my E: Drive was struck by lightning and won't work, has nothing inside of the Drive. I tried putting the disc in my roomates computer, it works fine. I have a Pentium 4 1.9GHz Processor, nVidia GeForce FX 5500(128), and 256 MB RAM. My roomates computer uses a Pentium 3.0 GHz Processor, Intel Chipset Graphics card(128 MB), 256 MB RAM. It works just fine on his computer, but the setup doesn't show up on my own computer. Please help me with whatever my problem is.
plz and ty
k thnx

Yeah, ive done graphics card drivers, no more drivers for sound card, no error logs apart from when it reboots it says its recovered from serious error, I'll need to do campaign again so i can see what its actually caused by, Another thing it does when it crashes is corrupts my save file which is really annoying me :\

I just got Call of Duty 2 for christmas as well but When I load the game, the intro is all black, no video just sound. The same goes for all the intro videos and things for the game. The game itself works fine and I haven't been given any error messages. Any Ideas? I'm using an 128 Mb ATI All In Wonder 9600 XT if that helps.

EDIT:
In the middle of the the russian "Repairing the wires" mission it just crashed.

Hello Cain and welcome to Lockergnome!

Thanks a lot Zeus! The Intros work and everything now. I haven't played it long enough to notice any crashes but If I have one I'll let you know. Thanks again!

Hello sandman21 and welcome to Lockergnome!

Try updating your graphics card driver from the laptop manufacturers website.
