PATCH NOTES:
INTRODUCTION & IMPORTANT NOTES
This document details additions, fixes, and changes to Call of Duty 2 in the 1.3 patch.
The Call of Duty 2 1.3 patch is an all-inclusive installation, containing all of the previous updates from the 1.2 patch and the 1.01 patch. Information about updates included from the earlier 1.2 and 1.01 patch can be found further down this document.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Use of the in-game console is not supported by Activision(r). Please do not contact Activision Customer Support with issues that arise from using console commands in-game.

NOTES FOR MOD USERS:
- It is recommended that any user modifications that have been installed to the Call of Duty 2 directory be removed before installing this patch. These modifications are not supported by Activision and may not be compatible with some of the new features that are included.
- Call of Duty 2 does not support mods that have spaces in the mod's folder name. Be sure that the folder that contains your mod does not have spaces; otherwise users will not be able to download the files. For example, a mod in a folder called "My Mod" would be invalid, whereas "MyMod" or "My_Mod" would work.

MULTIPLAYER FIXES
- Raised the gamestate from 16k to 128k
- Added loading bars to maps mp_harbor and mp_rhine
- Addressed the PB GUID issue where players were not being assigned PB GUID's of exactly 32 characters.

mp_rhine map changes:
- Fixed player getting on top of broken wall and seeing through second story of bombed out building.

mp_harbor map changes:
- Reduced overall fog density
- Fixed missing water texture
- Fixed player not being able to shoot through lower portion of the first gap in a railing found on east side of map.
- Fixed player not being able to shoot through lower portion of railing found on east edge of map.
- Fixed a partially floating crate and a couple holes in sandbags.

NOTE - When benchmarking Call of Duty 2 using "timedemo ", the first few frames are artificially slow. You will get more accurate results by using a spreadsheet program to process the values in "main/demos/timedemo__mode_.csv". The first column is the frame number, and the second column is the number of milliseconds spent in that frame. Just ignore the first ten or so rows. The average framerate is 1000 divided by the average of the remaining rows.

3. Network Installation:
When installing the game remotely to another system, users installing from CDs may encounter a message stating that some files cannot be found. If this occurs, please insert the next CD into the drive and continue the installation.

VIDEO ISSUES
Video Cards: Call of Duty(R) 2 will automatically detect and set your game graphics to recommended settings for optimal performance. You can customize your settings by going to the "Options" menu from the main menu.

1. Multiple Monitors: If you are running a machine with multiple monitors and the video card for each monitor is an OpenGL compliant video card (e.g., GeForce series cards), you may experience problems running the game, as the game will recognize both video cards. Simply disable one of the monitors in the Windows(R) Display Properties.

2. In-game and Desktop resolutions: Do not choose an in-game resolution that is higher than your desktop resolution. You may only be able to see as much of the game as is viewable at your desktop resolution.  (For example, if your desktop resolution is set to 1024x768, and you choose an in-game resolution of 1600x1200, the game screen may stretch beyond the size of your monitor screen).

3. Game performance and Optimal System Settings: Call Of Duty(R) 2 defaults to settings according to your hardware configuration. These settings are created with visual quality and performance in mind. Users experiencing poor performance may want to disable Anti-Aliasing in the Graphics portion of the Options Menu.

4."The dynamic link library d3d9.dll could not be found" error message: If an error message occurs stating "The dynamic link library d3d9.dll could not be found.." please make sure you have DirectX(R) 9.0c properly installed on your system.

SOUND ISSUES
1. Issues with EAX(R) Sound Provider

While using a sound card that supports EAX, you may experience occasions of loud sounds while using the EAX sound provider.  To avoid this, and the potential hazard of damaging your speakers, it is recommended that you avoid using a high speaker volume on your sound system in combination with a low Master Volume setting in the Options>Sound menu of Call of Duty 2. Doing so may cause damage to your hearing or speaker hardware. If possible, you should turn down your speaker volume on your sound system and turn up the Master Volume in the Options>Sound menu to get desired volume levels while playing the game.  If this is not possible, and you are experiencing the problem mentioned above, it is recommended that you switch sound providers in the Options>Sound menu to Miles Fast 2D Positional Audio.

VIDEO, SOUND & PERFORMANCE OPTIONS
The "Options" menu in Call of Duty 2 allows you to adjust a number of different graphic, sound, and general performance settings. This menu is useful for fine-tuning both the visual quality and overall game performance, in order to maximize player enjoyment and insure smooth play. Call of Duty 2 automatically detects system hardware and sets all values to optimal settings,taking into account your system's processor speed, available system RAM, video card power,video RAM, and various other factors. You may wish to modify these settings, and this section is intended to be a guide to each setting and the impact of changing it.

OPTIONS > SYSTEM > GRAPHICS
Video Mode: Allows you to set the screen resolution for the game. IMPORTANT NOTE: You should not adjust your in-game screen resolution to a setting beyond what your monitor can support. You should consult your monitor's documentation in order to learn about supported resolutions.
Screen Refresh Rate: Allows you to change the refresh rate of your monitor. WARNING: Do not set a refresh rate that is higher than your monitor supports! Check with your monitors manufacturer to see all available refresh rates in all resolutions.
Aspect Ratio: Allows you to adjust the aspect ratio of the game. Wide 16:9 and Wide 16:10 are for widescreen monitors. If you are unsure of what setting to pick, you can use the "Auto" setting to allow the game to pick for you.
Texture Filter: Allows you to choose between bilinear, trilinear and Anisotropic filtering for all in-game textures. If you have a lower-end video card, you should choose bilinear.
Anti-Aliasing: Allows you to adjust anti-aliasing settings. 4x is the maximum setting. However, users experiencing performance issues may want to reduce this to 2x, or OFF.
Rendering Method Preference: Allows users to switch between DirectX(R) 7 and 9. Users unsure as to which is correct should choose AUTO.
Brightness: Allows you to control the brightness ("gamma") level in the game. Move the slider to the right to increase the gamma, or to the left to decrease.
Sync Every Frame: Setting this option to "Yes" will synchronize the game's redraw rate with your monitor's refresh rate.  This will minimize graphical "tearing" at the expense of some performance.
Optimize for SLI(TM): Set this to YES if you are running more than one GPU.
Shadows: Toggles shadows on and off. Disabling shadows may increase performance.
Number Of Dynamic Lights: Allows you to adjust the amount of Dynamic Lights in the game. A lower setting will improve performance at the expense of visual quality.
Soften Smoke Edges: This allows you to adjust how much the smoke effect is softened. Setting it to EVERYTHING softens the smoke in all instances. Setting it to WORLD softens in fewer instances. Setting this to WORLD or OFF may increase performance at the expense of visual quality.
Number Of Corpses: Sets the number of corpses that remain on the battlefield during gameplay.  You can choose from Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, and Insane settings.  Consider reducing this setting to help improve game performance.
Texture Settings: This allows users to manually change Texture, Normal Map, and Specular Map Resolution. Changing these settings can significantly affect performance.

2. OPTIONS > SOUND
Master Volume: Controls the volume for music, sound effects, and voices.  Move the slider to the right to increase the overall volume of the game.
Sound Quality: Allows you to choose between 44KHz (high), 22KHz (normal) and 11KHz (low) sound quality. The higher the sound quality, the more memory the sound files require. If you are experiencing game performance issues, a downgrade in sound quality may help.
Sound Provider: Sets the source for the sound in the game.  Miles(tm) Fast 2D Positional Audio is the default provider.  If your sound card supports Creative Labs' (EAX, EAX 2 or EAX 3) audio performance systems, you may want to consider changing your sound provider to the one your card supports.

3. GAME OPTIONS
Subtitles: This option will enable subtitles to appear whenever other characters say things important to gameplay.
Enable Crosshair: This enables or disables your crosshair.
Show Blood: This enables or disables blood effects in the game.
Enable Console: This enables or disables the console for inputting console commands. Please note Activision(R) does not support the use of console commands.

4. OPTIONS > OPTIMAL SYSTEM SETTINGS
Select this to restore the auto-detect Optimal System Settings.

SINGLE PLAYER ISSUES:
1. Objective indicators on the compass: Many missions in Call Of Duty 2 allow the player to complete mission objectives in any order. The objective points in the player compass are sometimes indicated by gold stars and sometimes by letters.
2. "Cannot open file for saving" error message: If you receive the "cannot open file for saving" error message, this most likely means your hard drive does not have sufficient space required to create a save game file. Verify that your hard drive has sufficient space available and then re-try the game.
3. Loading times with 256MB of RAM: Users who have 256MB of RAM may experience extended load times as a result of Windows(R) memory requirements during this process exceeding requirements during actual game play.

MULTIPLAYER & INTERNET ISSUES:
1. Recommended maximum client settings when hosting over DSL

If hosting a Multiplayer game over a DSL connection, the following amount of clients are recommended: (users hosting on listen servers should count themselves when totaling)
128k upload: 4 players
384k upload: 8 players
768k upload: 10 players

Exceeding these numbers when hosting over DSL may result in laggy conditions.

2. Dedicated server running on Windows(R) 2003: Creating a Call Of Duty(R) 2 dedicated server requires the presence of a profile. To manually create one, do the following:

Add "+set dedicated [1 = LAN, 2 = Internet]" to the shortcut for Multiplayer
Add the following folders:
[Call of Duty 2]mainplayers
[Call of Duty 2]mainplayers[profile name] (Ex. [Call of Duty 2]mainplayersMyProfile)
Create a file named "active.txt" in "[Call of Duty 2]mainplayers" with the profile name in the first line.
Create a blank file named "config_mp.cfg" in [Call of Duty 2]mainplayers[profile name]

If done correctly, the user will get a message that the configuration has changed since the last time Call of Duty 2 was last run.  The user will be presented two options, YES and NO.  Select YES to have the correct config file automatically created for you.  Once that has completed, you will be at the dedicated server console.

WINDOWS(R) SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEM ISSUES:
1. Virtual Memory Warnings in Windows(R) 2000/XP: Users playing on machines using the Windows(R) 2000/XP operating systems that possess less than 600 megabytes (MB) of virtual memory may receive low virtual memory warnings. To avoid these warnings, please make sure you set your virtual memory settings to at least 600 megabytes (MB).

To adjust your virtual memory settings, please do the following:

For Windows(R) XP systems:
1) Right click the My Computer icon.
2) Select Properties.
3) Select the Advanced tab.
4) Select Performance Settings.
5) Select the Advanced tab.
6) Select Virtual memory

For Windows(R) 2000 systems:
1) Right click the My Computer icon.
2) Select Properties.
3) Select Advanced.
4) Select Performance Options.

2. Shift Key in Windows(R) 2000/XP Interrupts Game: If you press the Shift key 5 times consecutively in Windows(R) 2000 or Windows(R) XP the following message should appear:
"Pressing the SHIFT key 5 times turns on StickyKeys. StickyKeys lets you use the SHIFT, CTL, ALT, or Windows Logo keys by pressing one key at a time.
To Keep StickyKeys on, click OK.
To cancel StickyKeys, click Cancel.
To deactivate the key combination for StickyKeys, click Settings."
To avoid this happening in the future, click the settings button on the window referenced above. When the accessibility options screen appears, click the "Settings" button in the "Sticky Keys" portion of the window. On the next window (should be labeled "Settings For Sticky Keys"), uncheck the box that says "Use shortcut", then click on "ok".  Then, click on apply and close the window. The problem should not occur once the shortcut has been disabled.

3. Windows(R) Key Interrupts Game in 2000/XP: If the Windows(R) key is pressed during game play, the Start Menu will interrupt the game. Should this happen, simply press the Escape (Esc) key to close the menu and return to the game. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent this from happening again except by being careful not to hit those keys while playing.

4. CTRL-ALT-DEL Freezes System On Windows(R) 2000: If the CTRL-ALT-DEL keys are pressed during game play, the screen will become corrupt and sometimes the system may become unstable.  Should this happen, simply press the Escape (Esc) key to return to the game or reboot the computer and refrain from trying to access the task manager while playing the game.

5. Game Icons Are Missing From Start Menu And/Or Desktop In Windows(R) 2000/XP: When installing Call of Duty 2 while logged into Windows(R) as a specific user, the game icons will only show up when logging in as that user. For example, if you log into Windows(R) as "Joeuser", install the game, then log out and log back in as "Janeuser", the game icons will not show up. If you wish to play the game, make sure you log into Windows(R) as the same user you were logged in as when you installed the game.

6. Admin Rights Needed To Load and Play On Windows(R) 2000 or XP: If you are running Windows(R) 2000 or Windows(R) XP, you must have Administrator rights to properly install and play the game.

7. Microsoft(R) Intellipoint drivers and Middle-Mouse Button functionality: Currently the latest version of Microsoft(R) Intellipoint drivers bind the middle-mouse button to the ALT-TAB function. Using the middle-mouse button with this default setting may switch tasks while playing Call Of Duty(R) 2.
