Call of Duty World at War [Black Screen Fix]

November 1, 2008 · Filed Under Bugs, Main Page, News, Problems · 62 Comments 

Ok in our last “Possible black screen fix” we were able to get a few more people into the game but not everyone, So we have kept looking around and also trying to force some errors on our PC’s without luck tho.. Anyway here are a few more call of duty world at war black screen solutions (they are possible solutions) we are doing our best to help all you people who are unable to get call of duty world at war to start up correctly.

Firstly.. go into the folder were you installed call of duty world at war:

Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty – World at War Beta\main\video\

Delete the file called: “Treyarch.bik” this is a video file that is causing most of the lock up apon start up’s, worst comes to worst you can reinstall call of duty world at war later on, But this method is helping many people.

Other solutions as i mentioned are making sure all your drivers are up to date, make sure your directx is up to date, and most people who are using service pack #3 (SP3) for Windows XP are not having any trouble at all, most issues are occurring on vista & win xp sp1 & sp2.

Please note this is still BETA … beta is for testing and ironing out errors like these i know its frustrating but you are ensuring that come the retail version that all these errors & problems are fix, All games that are released go through the same phase and come out fine, The call of duty world at war beta caused so much hype that people think this is a call of duty world at war demo / cod 5 demo / call of duty 5 demo.. when it is a Call of Duty World at War BETA VERSION. Keep an eye on our site because soon as we have an official fix you will hear it here first. We have a feeling there is a new Beta version being released in the coming days that will address most of these issues.

Thanks everyone for your patience & understand during this critical time.

Here is why beta testing is important..

October 13, 2008 · Filed Under Bugs, Main Page, Playstation 2, Problems, Site News, Xbox · 2 Comments 

Call of duty world at war has only a few weeks before it ships, It is very important for you guys to pre order and be involved in the beta testing so that all known issues can be ironed out before the official launch. (DONT blame me for the pre order to beta test) does not make sense at all i grant you that, Anyhow early reports are coming in that there are already a few exploits going around and this is why it is important for the gaming community to be involved in such beta tests. Here is a quick quote 1/5 i have seen so far: Read more

The first wave of call of duty world at war / cod5 / cod 5 / cod: waw / call of duty 5 (which ever way you like to call it) beta keys will go out to all the members of “charlie delta oscar” which was originally the main call of duty fan site.  Now as Activision closed this site down and now just redirects you back to the the official call of duty website, This is going to cause a little bit of a stir as i personally signed up with that site a long time ago and stuffed if i can recall my username & password. I got sick of there newsletters to so i blocked them and now cant even retrieve my account, Anyway lets hope this is not the case for the rest of you call of duty world at war fans. Read more

Please keep an eye on our site in the coming days and weeks for any updated promotional information.

Now to me that sounds like someone has been told to keep his/her mouth shut but actually knows whats going on & knowing that the people over at GameStopicon are such good people im sure they are bursting to tell us whats really going on but are not in a position to do so, Thats ok.

Well it could have been worse they could of confirmed the call of duty world at war beta had been canceled.



So From the sounds of things this is simply the calm before the storm, well lets hope so. I am now thinking that as reported to us a long time ago that the magical call of duty world at war beta will be released on the  1/10/08.

Well thats all the call of duty 5 info we have for you now, But a delayed beta is annoying but for us (The Gamer) we should not complain as im sure they were just fixing up a few call of duty world at war monsters.

Make Sure you pre order your copy ASAP so you dont miss out ! You can pre order call of duty world at war here: GameStop
