Below is a list of fixes for COD5, atleast the widespread problems. If your problem isn’t on the list below I suggjest going to CallofDuty and signing up at their forums and see if you can’t get some help there. The biggest error seems to be with d3dx9_37.dll. So follow the directions and you should be good to go.

Please note that these fixes MAY or MAY NOT work for you. But this is the common way to fix your problem. I’m sorry if it doesn’t help you.

These are All/Most of the possible Fixes so far. Please note there is no guarantee any of these will work. “please note these can change at any time”

I just got a brand new Counter Strike Source hacks video in and it’s awesome. The new video guy we hired is turning out to be great. I wish he had about 10 more of him though. So anyway, this is a video of our Counter Strike Source Hacks in action. Another interesting thing to note is the video’s maker has less than two hours total playtime on CSS / CS 1.6

Yea, that’s how good the hacks are.

I took some video of the BETA and chopped it up for you to watch. I didn’t really have much footage because I didn’t play for very long, I’m crazy tierd. I’ll play longer tomorrow and get some better video. But for now this will have to do.

Or watch it on youtube: COD 5 Sniping

We hired a great video editing guy to make us some new videos, here’s the first one he’s put out. He’s using the PrivateHax.com hacks with BF2, check it out:

So you just bought Call of Duty 4 and all your friends are already rank 55 and you’re stuck at lvl 1, sucks huh? Or maybe you had to re-format your computer or something else like that and you lost your COD4 profile, since it’s not hosted on Activision servers, there is no way to get it back. Instead, why not just hack your lvl 55 rank? It beats spending hours and hours leveling up one by one. Here’s how to do it…

For PC

1. Download this mpdata file.

2. Go to Start -> Run-> Type regedit -> Hit Enter.

3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Activision -> Call of Duty 4

4. Double-click codkey

5. Save the key in notepad

6. Replace the key with: DL2J8PY44Q22GE4888D2

7. Press OK and close regedit.

8. Navigate to your Call of Duty 4 profile folder (typically “C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\your_user_name”)

9. Back-up and then remove all the files in your user name folder.

10. Place the mpdata file you downloaded in your user name folder

11. Open the COD4 MP game and check your rank. You should now be level 55 with all challenges, guns, and every camouflage unlocked!

12. Finally, in the game go to Options -> Multiplayer Options -> Key Code and type your original cd key you have saved in notepad.

There you go, you now have everything unlocked. Enjoy.
