German Language Fix
- Takes the Nazi dialogue from the German release of the game and patches it over the other localizations' German dialogue. This fixes both some broken phrases and syncing/cutoffs of the dialogue.
- When using a language different than English, rename the files
localized_english_pakuo03
to the one corresponding your language.

Widescreen resolution
- The game does not automatically adjust the aspect ratio to match widescreen resolutions.

Field of view (FOV)
- Use CoDUO FoV Changer for multiplayer.
Change FOV in SP[citation needed] |

|
Frame rate (FPS)
- In order for any of the fixes to work, Vsync needs to be turned off from the game's settings if your screen's refresh rate is less than the required FPS, which is the case most of the time. The setting for Vsync is listed as "Sync Every Frame" under the Performance tab in the game Options and needs to be set to "No".

Remapping | Software, such as the Logitech Gaming Software, is required to map controls to a mouse's side-buttons or any other additional buttons. For Steam, you will need the .exe's TestApp2620s.exe and TestApp2620m.exe, in addition to CoDSP.exe and CoDMP.exe to make a workable profile. For United Offensive, you will also need to look for CoDUOSP.exe and CODUOMP.exe. | |
