hey when i try to load up dod it gets past the bold guy with knob in head and to the next screen and then:

Error
failed to lock vertex buffer in CmeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer

Whats that mean and how do i fix it?

As far as I can tell you need to force Steam to open DoD in an older/different version of directx.

-dxlevel 80

Add that to the launch options and it should fix itself. Also, are you running AVG anti virus?

If that doesn't work, try disabling ALL background programs/applications and restarting steam.

I got all this information from googling the error message, I didn't copy and paste it, but I got it from a simple google search. Consult google before eGO forums next time, you'll be surprised at the time and work saved. :P

no got ride of avg after it wasnt free any more.

how do you change launch options?
 
nope didnt work. ill search for older vs of directx. i didnt have it installed on my comp when i bought dod. steam installed some version of direct x. i guess. when i loaded game it said i didnt have dx and the game might not run right. i skipped it and i guess it caught up with me.
 
Games > Right click > properties > Set launch options > -dxlevel 80

EDIT:
Yeah, trying downloading the latest version of direct x and remove the launch options settings.

i got direct x 9 from the drivers disk from my graphics card. other than removing launch opt, there is nothing else to do?
 
the shaders in the game might be corrupted. i would try reinstalling dod.
 
Hey could we get the specs of your system? Also, have you tried updating your video drivers?
Thanks
 
yup jombay's question is spot on. You need to update your video card drivers. I have seen this numerous times and video driver updates is the way its fixed.

If you do not know how please PM me I will be happy to help.
