Everything was working yesterday night. Suddenly, I launched the game and every class is read-only. Every weapon is disabled (with the name in a black color).

 

I had DLC 1 & 2 + Terminal. These maps are also disabled.

 

In the main menu (Titled "ONLINE"), a red caption appears in the lower part of the menu items saying the following:

"&&2 disabled! %&&1 does not have the map pack."

 

What's the problem with it? My other 2 brothers are facing THE SAME issue. In their case, the game auto-updated yesterday night and just after it, the game language changed to "Spanish" (Steam is configured in Spanish, but the MW3 was configured in English, as the recommendation says). After the update, the game was broken due to a missing localization.txt (was deleted). I restored one from my installation. The game started to work, but as I told you, no modifiable classes and no DLC.

 

Is this a trick by Activision to break our installations?

 

Thanks a lot and good luck!

First of all, use an English version of the game. Secondly, delete caches.xml and restart the game. That should fix your class problems.

 

As of the DLC, can you take a screenshot of your mw3/main/ and mw3/zone/english/ folders? that would help us get to your problem.

It's working! Thanks!

The DLC works, too !! My brothers and me are very thankful to you. Great community!
