Oh hi.
I know that my videocard is not listed as "supported", but I bought on Steam and tried to run COJ2 anyway. It is a Geforce 9500GT that runs pretty well 99% of the games on the market. I run it on a Windows Vista 64-bits.
When I try launching COJ2, the characters are unreadable on the menu and in-game. I clicked my way into starting the game, it ran smoothly: I managed to shoot many enemies and stuff. And yet, can't even read what's my quest. Can anyone help?
PS.: just updated to the latest nvidia drivers, didn't help.

Antonio, can you post your dxdiag using the steps below? This will help figure out what may be causing your problem.

1. Click Start
2. Click Run (if you are on Vista, click into the 'Search Textfield')
3. Type DXDIAG then press ENTER
4. When the DirectX Diagnostic loads, click the "Save All Information" Button.
5. Save the text file to your desktop
6. Locate the text file on your desktop and double-click the file to open it

I have managed to take a screenshot of the menu.
Check it out:

PS.: just got a reply from Ubi saying my computer simply does not have the minimum requirements, therefore it will not run the game, nor will they release a patch.
This doesn't make much sense, the game runs SMOOTHLY, perfectly, I just can't read those damn lines. And my video card is faster than many of those listed as supported.

The dude from Ubisoft pasted, wrongly, the Far Cry 2 system specs (which doesn't inclue my card as supported). The irony, I believe, is that Far Cry 2 does run VERY WELL on my PC, without this error.

Just found out at Steam Forums that someone in Germany is having the exact same problem and uses a Geforce9800, a SUPPORTED videocard!!!
COME ON UBI, pay some attention and stop using the excuse that my videocard is unsupported and that you won't release a patch!

I have this problem too, but can run the game just fine, if you call having to blindly click through the foreign menu with no settings options fine. In fact I played for about 3-4 hrs through it last night and forgot the whole time I had not run AlacrityPC to shut down all background progs and non essential services and still I had no crashing, lagging, audio problems, etc.

Others have mentioned getting foreign text as well, some speculate the game is not extracting one of the files properly when installing. Some have had audio issues too, but mine seem fine, and everything is in English sound wise. Despite not having actually crashed, the game generated a crash log in My Documents and it says 3 files are not found. Two effects files, play3da.ppfx, and sprite.ppfx and one sound file, coj_dark_memmentos.

I also noticed the two Ubi intro videos do not show in the same resolution as when I click on them separately in the Menu folder of the game. Instead of filling the screen side to side they are scrunched in like trying to be 4:3 with distorted geometry. When the game is launched they also play a bit hitchy with scratchy sound, but the game plays smoothly.

Out of shear coincidence, I had just disabled ctfmon.exe (Advanced Text Services) a bit prior to installing the game. I turned it back on to see if it would straighten out the in game text but no go. I have not tried reinstalling it with ATS enabled though. I'm pretty sure ctfmon.exe only affects text translation for MS Office though.

I would like to ask at this point if there is supposed to be background videos showing on the menu screen? Many of the videos in the Menu folder of the game say Menu at the start of them, yet I only see a menu like shown above with foreign text on it.

I would also like to ask if someone could please zip and attach the 3 files mentioned as not found above if you can, play3da.ppfx, sprite.ppfx and coj_dark_memmentos. Like I said, I can manage to play, but it's very annoying and limiting.

One other thing I was going to try is editing (after backing up) the Game.inf file. For Locale and Region it says...

Locale("En")
Region("WW")

...is this really what it should say for the US?

Hello, Six_Gun.
What is your videocard? I'm trying to rule out the "Geforce 9 series" supposition.

I've tried to install the Spanish-language version to see if it would fix it, but no, it didn't. Even the buggy characters were the same.

You clearly know more of computer tech stuff than me. If you find a solution, please post it. Thank you.

My GPU is an X1950Pro 512MB AGP with P4 3GHz CPU and 2GB RAM. I know my GPU is well above the required X1650, but CPU is not the 3.2GHz required. I really don't think that's it though because the game runs fine, I just can't read the menu or any text in game so I can't manage money, see objectives or anything. The only reason I've gotten as far as I have is I keep referring to the pdf manual to see what keys I need to use for certain things, but it doesn't describe purchasing goods and taking on side quests.

In fact right now I'm kinda stuck at a spot in the game where I'm without Tommy at a general store with wanted posters and lots of stuff I can buy but no objective markers showing after I buy some stuff (figured out green meant I could buy via action key) and pick up a wanted poster. I rode off and found a cabin with a guy in it surrounded by Indians he was hiding from and shot the Indians.

There was a document or something I think I picked up in front of the guy's cabin, but I don't know what to do now, so I've just ridden around the area. Everywhere else is barren with no people, just birds and some horses in a barn. When I rode back to the store I was musing over how the sign on the store says General Store in English. If only the rest of the text were that easy.

It may be the guy in the cabin is the wanted person I need to kill, but why no objective marker when everywhere else in the game there's always been one for every direction you need to go? One person whom had this problem even with a quad core CPU said he tried installing the game on his 5 yr old P4 and got it to run OK. He said the install size is supposed to be 3.23GB. I'm only showing 2.71GB after install, so something's definitely wrong. He said he disabled his screen saver too though, so I may try that.

i also have a problem that my game freezes at the 1st sequel video and when i play online it works for 2 minutes and then the game freezes

If they don't release a patch to fix these problems soon Ubi's going to be looking pretty bad.

You guys that have a supported videocard should try to get help from the official tech support by Ubi. You they won't ignore, at least not with the LAME excuse they gave me.
About Ubi looking pretty bad, well, ONE costumer they already lost. I do no intend on buying more games from them.

Why wont my audio work my video works but my audio will not work on the game Call of juarez 2 bound in blood. I have a geforce 8800 gtx for my xps710 system. I paid a pretty penny for the system and every game I have bought worked for the system this game works except for the audio. Could someone please help me out

THanks

antoniocsx, try looking in your Nvidia control panel for a few options and see how they are set. Check to be sure 3D settings are set for application control, and also try adjusting the anisotropic filtering and antialiasing to either application control or disabled. You can access this by right clicking your desktop and choosing Nvidia control panel. Here are some steps.

1. Right click the desktop
2. choose nvidia control panel
3. Find "3D settings" and select "Adjust image settings with preview"
4. In the middle choose "Let the application decide"
5. Next choose "Manage 3D settings"
6. Look for anisotropic filtering and antialiaing and try disabling these or setting to application controlled.
7. Last find Vertical Sync and set for "Use the 3D application settings"

Alec.bryant, can you post your dxdiag for us? the steps are up above at the top of this thread.

There were three other guys with very different computer systems on Steam with the same problem.

One of them figured it out!!!

It's pretty easy: all you have to do is delete the COJ:BIB folder in the Documents folder.
Then it works.
Seriously.

Thanks, anyway!
