I am trying to install Call Of Duty 2 on one of my hosts. It always is failing. Is there more ports i need to foward because this host is behind a router, or is call of duty 2 i need to install through the game cd's?

i have read some posts now i see that u cant give the game files. okay but i have the hole program files folder what do i do now?

Andrew · Mammoth

Run the installation wizard again via GameCreate, on the final steps choose 'Do not download content' (under Advanced Options before clicking the Confirm button).

Then place the files in \callofduty2

Still not doing anything trying to run a server and just says updating

Andrew · Mammoth

Try deleting the server and creating it again.

Just remove the Host itself (Hosts Page->Remove a host).

You may need to rename the cod2 server exe also to CoD2MP_launch.exe

Hi,

Please don't post bumps three hours apart demanding a response.

It was the weekend when you posted, myself and others try not to work then because we do it every other day of the week. I do check out this forum on the weekend usually.

The pidfile issue is because GC expects a pidfile to be created, which is made with our custom built cod2 launch script: http://144.140.155.2:3579/win32/callofduty2/CoD2MP_launch.exe

Download that (and rename your real CoD2 executable to cod2mp.exe I believe it is) and that problem should be fixed.

I will check that solution when i get back im at a hotel right now thats why i was in a rush to get that question answered Smile

one more question i have 2 computers behind a router. Can i change the game create client ports so i can have 2 hosts on 1 ip. Or is there any way this can be possible?

And can u check that download it doesnt seem to be working for me.
