When I start BtCoD, it shows the Commando logo and then only a black screen. I can alt-tab to the desktop and close the program, but no setting like "compatibility" will help.
I run Vista 32 bit.
Behind Enemy Lines worked fine.
Any ideas?

Bumping this because I have the exact same problem. I don't have much hope for a solution though, seeing as the OP is almost two years old with no replies.

I haven't had this problem myself and I run Vista 32bit but it sounds like you could be missing some necessary codecs.

Try download the K-Lite Codec Pack

and installing it.

Then goto Start -> All Programs -> K-Lite Codec Pack -> Configuration -> FFDShow video decoder.
Then scroll down to the Format "Cinepak" and change "libavcodec" to "disabled"


As I said the game worked fine for me so I don't know if this will help but I have found that it's helped with other games. I hope it helps.

Thanks for replying! I installed the K-Lite codec pack. The setting for Cinepak was already set to "disabled" by default. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem. I still only get the Commandos logo and a black screen after that (no error message).

I got the same problem when I tried to play the game after reinstalling the operating system(mine is Windows 7 64) without reinstall the game, but if you reinstall the game, all those problem will be gone.

I solved problem by:

1. open installed game under program filesx64/GOG... etc and find "coman_mp"
2. right click and choose "Properties"
3. choose "compatibility"
4. select "Disable fullscreen optimalization" and confirm by OK
5. Start the game

got other issue. Game works, but I cannot save game. It's not like as i see i many other videos that save option is locked. For me it's unlocked, I can choose save name, but after that, when i click on load, there's no save to choose. Also quick save shows me saving screen, but quickload does nothing. Any idea how to fix this? I got windows 11, tried changing comando.cfg, it didn't helped
