Hi Guys. I also get an error code when trying to play COD2 :- Video card or driver doesn't support alpha blending. I have a Sony Viao desktop PC bought two years ago. Do you think an updated driver will allow me to play COD2 ? This is the error code I get in full :- ========= autoconfigure configure.csv: using CPU configuration 2 GHz 512 MB execing configure.cfg configure.csv: using GPU configuration "GeForce 4*" Measured CPU speed is 2.79 GHz System memory is 1024 MB (capped at 1 GB) Video card is "NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 (Sony)" Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) supported ----- Client Initialization ----- ----- Initializing Renderer ---- -- ----- Client Initialization Complete ----- ----- R_Init ----- Getting Direct3D 9 interface... Pixel shader version is 1.3 Vertex shader version is 1.1 Video card or driver doesn't support alpha blending. Error during initialization: Video card or driver doesn't support alpha blending.

well, I don't think COD2 supports that card. However I suppose it should run (damn slow though). Download the latests nvidia drivers and install directx 9.0c (which should come with call of duty 2 - donwload it if not). That may fix the problem. Your system is enough for COD2 with exception of your video card. If you want to get descent framerates (or get the game running at all in case latests drives don't work) you need to upgrade. Which slots do you have in your motherboard? only pci? Free

Hi, I also got that error message. I know my other hardware should support the game. I have a Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 video card, with DirectX 9.0c. Is there any way I can make it work? Thanks.

I had this problem also i had to go get a new video card..

Hey i installed these drivers from (http://www.omegadrivers.net) for my video card and the game got started **RISK** It worked for couple of months but then my comp started crashing and giving my screen some funky colors... but i just reinstalled the original drivers for my Radeon 9800 PRO and it works again... soooooo.... is playing COD2 worth the risk?? Oh yeah.

i too got that message and i want to know how to change my settings to alpha blending without having to download anything

oh yea.... plz respond as soon as possible plz. im desperate to play!!!
