Hey GS,

Here's my problem. Whenever I want to play MW2, I have to restart Steam. I've tried running DXSETUP from the MW2 folder and that did nothing. Basically, I can only play MW2 once per launch of Steam.

I've tried restarting the computer. I've tried running Steam in compatability mode for Vista/XP. I've tried running the game in safe mode. Nothing seems to work except restarting Steam.

I don't mean to be a nitpicker, but does anyone have a recommended fix for this? I've tried everything I can think of and I really want to fix this problem.

*sigh* that game is full of problems. Why anyone would even buy the PC version does not occur to me. Anyway just rightclick on the game in steam, delete local files, then redownload. its probably corrupt files or something

Game is such a waste for pc... We literally got a console game with keyboard and mouse support... hell when I dced the first time it said please reconnect to Xbox live. Granted that error message only came up a few times as I believe it was patched (now it just says reconnect or something I forget).

Bah, the game worked amazingly well for me. If half the multiplatform games were as good as cod then it will be a better world. If you dissagree you just dont buy enough multiplats on pc, just the AAA ones.

Atleast the mouse aiming is proper, unlike those other games that aiming feels broken and kills the point of playing a game with a mouse and keyboard on the pc.
