Kind of random, even for my blog, but I got this error when attempting to re-live the pure awesome that is Call of Duty 2:
---------------------------
WIN_ERROR
---------------------------
Error during initialization:
Couldn't load default_localize.cfg. Make sure Call of Duty is run from the correct folder.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I couldn’t find any decent advice on this, so I fiddled around a bit and noticed that the shortcut did not specify a working directory. I tried setting it to the directory to which I’d installed (D:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 2\) and all was good. I’d imagine this happening in a couple of cases:
- If you install to anywhere other than C:\
- If you’re installing on a 64 bit machine
These are just theories though – I really can’t be bothered validating this, as I’m too busy shooting nazis.

You could test your theory with Procmon, that is, after you help cause the fall of the Third Reich.
