Hi,

 

I just got this game back after a couple of years. I used to play on alteriw.net, and I loved it. But a few things have changed for me in this version. I have a few questions that I would like answered.

 

1.) Is the "Play Game" not available anymore? I can only play on dedicated servers now. I can not search for a certain type of game and play with random people. I used to love doing this with the alteriw.net version.

 

2.) How can I change my name? I like to make my name in different colors as well as having a clan tag? Can your name still be in different colors?

1) We will get shut down if matchmaking is put in.

2) I don't think colours work with IW5M, but ucp.php?i=profile&mode=reg_details

1) Yes, we disabled Matchmaking support

2) You can do it by going to -> ucp.php?i=profile&mode=reg_details and then changing to whatever you want, you can include colours using ^ followed by the number.

Nice to know! Thanks for the information.

 

I just have to find a server now. Where can I go to find a good server for me? Do I open a new thread or do you guys have a "find server" thread?

you'll have to try joining a number of servers that have an appealing hostname/gametype/ping.
