Call of Duty 2 console dropout workaround

This is a known problem. When trying to play a demo, you get thrown in the console window of Call of Duty 2 with a bunch of error messages such as 'Attempted to overrun string in call to va()'. To quickly fix this, enable the option in Call of Duty 2 dm_1 options. When this option is enabled, demo controls are disabled and mp_farmhouse (Belot) will not load before demo play. This problem is triggered by loading a map in development mode and having some mods installed into the base folder of Call of Duty 2. Which mods are responsible for this are currently not known. Clean up all mods one-by-one to find the mod responsible, or simply delete all.

Why does mp_farmhouse (Belot) load before playing my demo?

This is a workaround to enable demo controls in Call of Duty 2. Demo controls are cheat protected by default. Settings sv_cheats to 1 does not solve this. So a map is loaded in development mode to enable cheats. Lets hope the developers can fix this in a later version.

.IWD Check

A common problem in Call of Duty 2 are demo playback problems mostly caused my some add-on mods in the main directory of the game. The IWD Check function looks for those non-standard (files that are not part of the original installation) files and allow you to temporarily disable them for the duration of demo play. The files are restored once demo playback has completed
