Samapico Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 I just installed MW4: Mercenaries... The game loads fine, plays the intro animations fine, then I get to the Pilot selection screen, I hit 'new', then as soon as I mouse-over one of the 4 factions, instant freeze... no 'crash', but total freeze, can't alt-tab out, have to ctrl-alt-del. Basically it should play some small .avi file at that point... I checked in the folders, the avi's are there (it gives an error if they are not, anyway), and I can play them fine. I only found 2 topics on the internet about this crash, one without solution, and the other suggested to make sure you have the codec and try k-lite codec pack. I already have that codec pack, and I can play the videos in any media player I have installed. Edit: Found another one with a (clueless) suggestion, saying 'try it in compatibility mode'. The game can't even run in compatibility mode because it requires DirectX 8, and it gives an error saying I have Direct X 7 in compatibility mode. HELP MEEEEEEEEE, GAAAHH%!%!%!! And are there any GOOD forums about games where I could get help? Every place I check seem to only have posts from years ago, or only talk about the latest CoD game.
