Hi all in CoD4 has the problem of (iw3mp.exe has stopped working)old been sorted or not.
i might be thick, but not sure what you mean?
There was a problem where you would be playing, and the game would crash. If you aren't sure about the file system, CoD4 has 2 exe files (as do most CoD games):
iw3sp.exe (single player)
iw3mp.exe (multi player)
As russ says:
When the game came out in 2007 this (iw3mp.exe has stopped working) was
giving lots of people trouble me included.The problem most people found was down to Realtek sound cards,cant remember the solutions but someone will post them up i hope as the problem still persist today.Hope that has helped.
it waqs caused by sound problems. The problem was around in CoD:WaW as well, which used the same engine, however, generally in WaW the problem was that when you opened the game it would stay on a black screen and not load.
To fix it you had to change the sound quality in the sound settings, and then it would work.
Now, on my computer and on my sisters computer, which I have been using to game on whilst mine has been out, I have not had the problem with the crash ever. I think I had it for a short period on my old system with P5N-E SLI onboard audio, but that went after a patch, so I think, to answer your question russ, it has gone now mate. If it hasn't for you, there is a way to sort it.
Also russ, Ash (insomnia) had the game crash for him whenever certain maps came up. We thought it was graphical at first because it would only happen in maps with either a lot of grass (overgrown, creek etc) or on those with effects (bloc and bog with the flaming barrels for instace), but turned out his map files were corrupt, so he had to reinstall. So it is generally either the problem he had, which requires a reinstall, or if you have the game through steam, checking the files, or changing the sound settings through the control panel to change the quality
