Whenever I go to change my graphical settings, the game will consistently crash, and sometimes the game will not allow me to continue my save and I have to restart with a new profile. Once you try to get back into the game after a crash, the game will not allow you to continue from that save.
For a while, the game was pretty much busted. While now it has been fixed, the older Call of Duty games are a bit flaky to get running.
When using my method of launching the game, the game would launched minimized and I would have to wait until the game started playing the opening titles, lest the game might crash.
When the game was busted, I could not load my saves after a crash.
Slight hitching at points but they were not the worst I've seen.
For a while, the game would crash constantly at start up, when changing graphical settings, or when opening a new save. While now it seems to be mostly fixed, it was a bear to get this game up and running.
For a while, playing the World At War storymode was a very frustrating experience. I had similar problems getting COD 4 to run, but for a while, this game was pretty much unplayable with constant crashing when changing graphical settings and when loading saves. But, now that seems to have been fixed, at least when you launch the game in an X11 DE like MATE or Gnome on Xorg.
I also launch the game with Steamtinkerlaunch and CoD.SCZ.FoV.Changer due to the story mode having a really tiny, unchangable FOV by default.
Here is how I got it to work
- Download CoD.ScZ.FoV.Changer and place it in your WAW directory
- install steam tinker launch with ProtonQTup and use it as your proton version (be sure to install yad before grabbing steamtinkerlaunch)
- launch the game and hit configure
- go to the game menu settings and set the following parameters
- use custom Command = checked
- Custom Command = CoD.SCZ.FoV.Changer.exe
- Fork Custom Command
- Proton Verion = proton-8.0-5d
- Launch the game and set the following settings in CoD.SCZ.FoV.Changer.exe
- World At War
- Set your FOV in the cg_fov box
- enable beep = true
- auto start = true
- auto select CoD on startup
- Exit CoD.SCZ.FoV.Changer and quit world at war and launch the game again
- your desiered FOV should be enabled now when playing the game.
The game will not launch at all
There was a point where the Ubisoft Connect splash screen would pop up but after that, nothing has worked. I have tried every proton version under the sun and it will just not turn on for me.
