Thread: Fail to launch Call of Duty 5 : World at War!

Hi everybody,

I have just finish install the call of duty 5 and when i run the game for the first time, the screen appear to be black for a while then jump out and show a message box "error during initialization, unhandle exception caught" and follow by another message box with something like "Error: Could not load material "water_droplet"." "Error: Could not load material "water_dynamic_spray"." "Waiting for $init to finish. There may be assets missing from code_post_gfx.". So what is possible cause? Is it my PC does not meet the minimum requirement?

My PC spec:
Intel core 2 duo 1.8GHz
Intel D946GZIS motherboard
1.5G of RAM
512MB nVidia Geforce 6200 turbocache
SigmaTel audio
onboard sound card
80GB HDD

This PC was able to run Need for Speed Undercover, Warcraft III and other game as well.

Is it possible my graphic card is a bit not compatible?
Any suggestion will be appreciate

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I was using windows xp and i was not able to find where to change the setting to 24 bit 48000Hz, and what i found in which i think is related is the tab shown in the picture below.


I think the step above is for windows vista, right? So how do i change this in windows xp? there is no "default playback device".


not sure what is the reason, when i click on the link for other solution, it will show "page load error", might the link not complete?

Thanks.. : )
