Any time I play a mod, or any time I play a custom map, my CoD4 will first download all the necessary files, try to load, and then crash. Black Screen. Then Desktop.

 

Any pointers? Any forums i should ask this on?

 

Thanks.

you may just have to reinstall the game

alas, I've tried that!

did u remove all files left from the uninstall?

i did not! good idea.

 

just in the Program Files stash, or should I kill stuff from anywhere else? (Registry, windows data folder, etc)

System details? Did you try system restore perhaps? I think COD4 may have an error log too when it launches. Check windows event viewer too.

Mine does that on some custom maps, some maps give me more trouble than others but usually if I just reconnect a few times it'll smooth out. Any info on the crashes, is it a driver issue, a sound card issue, do you get any error messages?

damn merc you have t!ts syndrome with your avatars...lol

this time, I uninstalled and deleted every trace of COD4, restarted twice, ran CCLeaner on my registry, restarted twice, and then reinstalled CoD4.

 

works perfectly.
