CoD 4 Question

[MonsterDK]

I have TC Admin on a basic dedicated server.

 

I can host the likes of Counter Strike source. But this does not require the GUI game to be loaded as no doubt you will know.

 

My server does not have a DX 9 compat card in it. Is there any dedicated option that means I can host a CoD 4 server with TC Admin... or even at all?

[ECF]

Yes, you can host COD4 servers as a dedicated server.

[MonsterDK]

Yes, you can host COD4 servers as a dedicated server.

 

How is this possible without needing to route through the game itself? As I can't actually load the game on the server as it just gives me the DX error.

[JasonF]

you need to install dx9 on the server. Download it from Microsoft.

[Todd Holley]

I don't have DX 9.. Working good for me..?

[MonsterDK]

it has DX9c. But the server is basic.

 

So I can't go dedicated without needing to use DX9?

[HIS-MOTHER]

Thats correct. It's just a missing dx9 file you need.

 

Rudedog has it over on his site.

Still does not work...

The error message is..

 

DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error.

Check the readme file for possible solutions.

 

Any help please?

I have the same error on my wifes PC which runs vista. I have removed and reinstalled 2 times. Checked and made the program run as a windows xp program. Still no go. I have looked for an answer and cant find one. Not sure...

[HIS-MOTHER]

You running DX 10 on that vista machine?

[bryan]

Yea think so. Id have to check by running the command prompt.

When I put in d3dx10_34.dll, it tells me to put in d3dx9_34.dll, and when I put in d3dx9_34.dll, I get the "DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error.

Check the readme file for possible solutions." message. Hmm

[tbcwarrior]

When i had the dx9 and 10 errors i ran the Dxwebsetup tool

 

it can be downloaded from my website http://www.ez-servers.net/downloads/dxwebsetup.rar

 

also this tutorial helped me when i was first getting my dedicated servers setup

What a way to run a railroad.. After an 1 hour of zipping things up...taking some 21 hours to upload the zip It's corrupt...lol no wealth of knowledge was learned on that day..

 

would of been faster to drive 3 1/2 hours to the Colo in Toronto..and installed the CD from inside the cage...

Are you using a rar or zip? If it is a zip file, open it with winrar. I had a zip copy give me the same error but when you open it with winrar it works fine. Something to do with the stock zip not reading files over a certain size.

[NRTServers]

Ok..Thanks will give that a try

 

Dave

[NRTServers]

Nope...will not do it..but thanks for the tip...another day of learning something new to try...

 

I shall wait till hopefully they release server files..

 

And can grab then remote desktop from the colo.
