I have tested full single player game and works in full detail at 1366x768 at great fps!!!
With some dll overrides works realy smooth.
If you start the game and the intro videos play but then the screen goes black, you may need to enable S3 texture compression. To do so:
Install driconf.
In your system's Preferences menu, open 3D Acceleration.
Under the Image Quality tab, set Enable S3TC texture compression even if software support is not available to Yes.
Run Call of Duty 2. The menu should now work normally.
In the game's Options menu under Graphics, set Force DirectX 7 Mode to Yes.

unable to run COD2
by Krzysztof Mesek on Thursday September 27th 2012, 15:48
All worked fine under Ubuntu 10.10, but after an update (I wasn't playing that game for about 2 years) when I open the game I have this error (ubuntu 12.04):

Installation Problem
by Sam Garigliano on Wednesday January 5th 2011, 19:06
This is on Ubuntu 10.10
When I put in disk 1 and attempt to start with Wine, I get this:
The file '/media/COD2CD1/setup.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.
Is this due to some setting on Wine or my OS that I can change, or is there no way around this?
Installed and working perfectly on Ubuntu 10.4 (amd64 version)
AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core
Nvidia 9500
4GB RAM
Wine 1.1.42 (default install, ran "winecfg" to make sure audio was ok then OK'd it).
Installer started OK when invoked with "wine ./setup.exe" from cd root. Music stopped whilst I was putting the cd key in, but the installer continued to work as expected. Desktop shortcuts wouldn't work, but game launched and played perfectly from command line.
1600x900, everything on high.
1603 Installation error...
by Anon on Tuesday February 23rd 2010, 18:48
Hi, Everyone...
I was attempting to install CD2 on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) when the installation process was interrupted (and failed) w/ the indication of a "1603" Windows installer error.
I have searched and reviewed this error many places elsewhere but to no avail, as far as getting the game to install.
Can anyone offer any insight? I have a 3GHz, 2GB RAM. 512MB vid. system. Most all other installs of other games have gone swimmingly.
Game runs only in windowed mode
by Nauris on Sunday November 15th 2009, 7:41
For me, CoD2 runs only in windowed mode, otherwise there's major graphical corruption and the game is unplayable. I suspect my Radeon HD 4550 being faulty.
Cannot Access CoD2 Menu
by Chris on Friday July 31st 2009, 12:20
Hi everyone,
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 on an AMD Athlon X2 with 1 GB of RAM
Every time I try to run CoD2 in Wine v1.0.1, I am able to view the videos, but when I am supposed to see the menu, I just see a black screen. I can start up the Single Player mode, but that also displays a black screen. I still get audio in both situations, but I'd rather play with video than with audio. Help would be appreciated.
Low FPS when directx9 and shadows are enabled
by Xwang on Friday June 5th 2009, 12:14
Hi to all,
I've installed the game and I've noticed that if I select directx9 and enable the shadows, FPS drop to 15-20. I don't have windows so I can't verify if it is normal, but I suppose that my new laptop with an nvidia geforce 9650gt with 1GB of dedicated video ram (DDR2) and 4 GB of ram should be able to run this 4 years old game. If I turn off shadows, I can see 40-45 FPS and If I select directx7 I obtain 120 FPS.
Is it normal or should I open a bug?
Thank you,
Xwang
COD2 should be moved to Bronze list
by Robert M. Muncrief on Thursday January 22nd 2009, 17:09
COD2 no longer runs correctly on multi-core CPU's so it should be moved, along with Steam, to the Bronze list.
The problems with COD2 have to do with flaws in wines multi-core CPU architecture. The bottom line, you can only run COD2 when a single CPU core is running.
So for those attempting to run COD2 you must disable all but one processor core. For example, if you have an Athlon X2 on an Ubuntu system you can execute the following command to disable the second processor core:
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online > /dev/null
Now start the game, or Steam and then the game if using Steam, and play away. When you're done playing execute the following to turn the second processor back on (Steam users be sure to exit Steam first):
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online > /dev/null
Of course, game performance suffers tremendously but this is the only way I know of to get it running at all at the moment.
Possible regression in wine 1.1
by Francesco Grossi on Thursday November 27th 2008, 1:58
Hi, I play Cod2 fresh from the box (great work!!!) on wine 1.01.
I updated to wine 1.1 and, though the game started, the audio was gone awry, distorted.
I uninstalled and reinstalled wine 1.01 and I have no problem now. I thought this could be a regression...

Freeze on vendor logo animations
by Pete on Wednesday November 12th 2008, 8:10
I have just installed COD2 on Ubuntu Hardy (2.6.24-21) using wine 1.1.8. On startup the game freezes randomly during the initial vendor logo animations. There are no error messages from wine and the freeze can be avoided by frantically clicking the mouse. If I get passed this stage the game runs but may subsequently freeze during movie sequences.
I have tried and checked most of the suggestions from the message boards but none have helped. What can I try next?
1.3 patch install (wine 1.1.3)
by Kirk on Monday September 8th 2008, 22:28
So I installed CoD2 from the DVD and the installer crashes at the end. I read that this is not a problem so I try running the game and it errors out. So I go download the callofduty2patchv1_3.exe file.
When running the patch update in wine 1.1.3 I get the following error as a popup dialogue:
Error: -1627 ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILED
and the title of the window is "Feature transfer error" with the little wine icon. The console has the following error:
err:msi:msi_cabextract FDICopy failed
err:msi:ACTION_InstallFiles Failed to extract cabinet: L"#Data1.cab"
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallFinalize" returned 1627
err:ole:ClientRpcChannelBuffer_SendReceive called from wrong apartment, should have been 0x1e0000003a
err:ole:xCall RpcChannelBuffer SendReceive failed, 8001010e
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if I forgot some configuration step before installing the patch. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Directx unrecoverable error

I have video card nvidia 6600 gt and did not install directx(i.e. use wine's default).
Need help.
Installing from CDs
by nobodysbusiness on Saturday June 28th 2008, 22:24
I've noticed most people here installing the DVD version (which, in hindsight, I should have bought). When I ran the install shield wizard, it only installed the files from CD#1 and then ended normally, making me think that everything was okay and it would ask me to insert the other CDs later in the game. Unfortunately, it dies with a strange error if you do that. I found another article that said I had to copy all of the iwd files to ".wine/drive_c/Program Files/Activision/Call of Duty 2/main". Unfortunately, when I put in any of CDs 2 through 6, Ubuntu gave me a permissions error and refused to even display the files as a normal user. To get around this problem, I had to copy from the CD to the "/root" folder, where I could change the file permissions, and then copy from "/root" to the final destination. After all the files were copied, the game started working perfectly, and deserves its gold or platinum ranking.
COD2 Works with 1.0 and 1.3 patch!
by blz kqs on Sunday June 22nd 2008, 13:31

PS: it work on my ubuntu desktop 8.04.. with my laptop dont! but i think here are different problems.
Single Player Slow
by Aaron Sawyer on Tuesday June 3rd 2008, 13:00
For me, multiplayer runs great; just about as good as, or maybe even better than Windows, but the single player is really slow. I get framerates down in the 20's quite often, making gameplay nearly impossible. In windows I get framerates usually about twice that. Not sure if this is normal. I've played around with graphics settings and the only setting that made any real difference was DX7 mode. There seems to be a bottleneck somewhere. I have used Wine 1.0rc3 and Wine 0.959 with the same result.

CoD2/Wine Crash on hit
by Markus on Monday April 7th 2008, 7:44
I get a crash of Wine and CoD2 when I'm hit by an enemy or about to respawn after being killed (both Singleplayer). This also happens sometimes when a grenade or other explosion sets off beside me. None of the workarounds above have worked for me. Sound is fine. Graphics are a little weird around the edges of the HUD (sometimes the elements are brown blocks) but everything else is good except the crashes.
Here's a console dump of wine, I started a mission, killed a couple of enemies and then was killed by a grenade. The death-cam flashed but instead of restarting Wine crashed:

Installation worked great, and I've been trying the suggestions from other posts for DirectX from wine-doors, registry settings, etc. But, whenever I run "wine CoD2Sp_s.exe", I get some frames from the opening animation and then it freezes. At that point I have to kill it from another terminal.

Installation
by Alex Brown on Friday December 28th 2007, 11:01
I was having trouble getting the installation working, as it was not asking me to input the rest of the discs. What I did was copy all of the iwd data files from all of the discs (located in Setup/Data/main) into a folder on my desktop. These have all of the install files and things I guess. Then I made a dvd with all of the iwd files in that "main" folder. Now the dvd was exactly the same as the first call of duty 2 cd, except it had all of the iwd files in the Setup/Data/main folder. It installs and works great, except I lost my registration code... so I have to find that...

Single Player does not work

Butwhen I tried the singleplayer (whether from Multiplayer for by running CoD2SP_s.exe) it would crash with only the following line:

CoD2 Under Steam Multiplayer Crash
by J. Jefferson Gray on Monday August 6th 2007, 12:48
Has anyone tried CoD2 under steam? Running Ubuntu 7.04 and wine 0.9.42.
All other steam games work fine, including CoD and CoD:UO. Heck, even the new Id Software Steam Release works fine.
CoD2 Single Player also works fine(better than Windows).
But when I try to run a multiplayer game, I get errors saying that it crashed, and that my hardware changed(?), I click through these - trying different answers to troubleshoot. But then about 5 seconds into the menu screen, the game crashes to desktop. I have to do a hard kill of the wineserver and steam processes to recover.
Can't find anything in the logs - not sure where else to look.
there is only three things to solve, and the game would be platinum rated
by MCpaul34 on Friday July 13th 2007, 12:18
these three things are:
-support of the copy protection
- increase performance
- resolve the water rendering bug (see screenshot: water is a blue texture)
Sound working perfectly now
by Jonathan on Sunday July 1st 2007, 15:14
I upgraded Friday to the 0.4.0 version and now I get perfectly in sync sound. I am using OSS with Hardware Acceleration set to Full and no longer using any Driver Emulation. I have my Sample Rate set to 44100 and my Default Bits to 16. The sound is now perfectly in sync as far as I can tell.
I have yet to try punkbuster but I am going to try the solution above and see if I can get it working. I will report back.

RE: Sound Problem?
by Moustacha on Friday June 15th 2007, 22:54
I've always had a sound delay with all CoDs. I'm assuming it's something to do with the Q3 engine (CoD and CoD2 both use it, just renderer has changed).
Works Great except for audio delay
by Jonathan on Sunday May 27th 2007, 13:32
I posted this over in the Ubuntu Gaming Forum as well.
I used the DVD install version and installed it without a hitch (I am not sure how the CD version would work since that involves multiple CD's).
I then downloaded the 1.3 upgrader and installed that. It installed fine.
I then went online and found a 1.3 no-cd crack for single player.
I opened winecfg and changed the sound driver to OSS and Hardware Acelleration to Emulation and enabled Driver Emulation.
Then I opened the user.reg in ~/.wine folder and put this part in anywhere:
[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D]
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="backbuffer"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"UseGLSL"="enabled"
"VertexShaderMode"="hardware"
"VideoMemorySize"="256"
That allows Single Player to work correctly. I didn't put that in at first and then first few levels ran and then I hit a Directx error. Once I put that in the user.reg file it worked flawlessly.
I just played online and it worked great. The gameplay was as good or better than in Windows. I think I can finally dump Windows.
The server I normally play on doesn't require Punk Buster so I don't have any issues with that (I have heard Punk Buster doesn't work correctly/at all in Wine).
The only issue I am having and have yet to resolve is sound. I am using the OSS driver as stated above which works a ton better than ALSA (which freezes me up immediately and quits the game). But I get a lag of about 1/2 - 1 second. It is really annoying and I have tried multiple combinations of audio driver settings and nothing gets any better than my above settings.
Anywho it is working good enough and I am so glad the Wine people are constantly making improvements and changes. Thanks Wine team!

RE: solution for all my problems with sound and grenades
by Moustacha on Friday May 4th 2007, 20:32
That's strange, works for me with OSS and it fixes the shellshock crash. I previously had sound disabled (no output checked in winecfg) and it would crash on shellshock. But there's still the 1/2 second delay :(

Would those of you who've got it to run (in-game 3D not just menu screen) be able to write a proper how:to instead of just saying this worked for me, because so far none have worked for anyone else it seems or they're just keeping quiet. Precise steps too, like if you added any flags to when you compiled wine etc.
