Hi, this is happening since about a month, starting from after noon, when I try to join a server, I get stuck at setting up game, while in the morning I can join any server normally, now I was trying to connect to different servers as always, I noticed that when I join a server starting with a green ( * ) in it's name (I think that means the server is running using the AlterRev project) it just connects so fast to these servers, setting up game only stays for about 1 sec or less after the map finishes loading, I tired about 10 servers like that and they all connect so fast in all maps, while on servers not starting with green ( * ) it keeps stucking at setting up game as usual, so please can anyone tell me why is this happening???

 

 

 

Try using a VPN and see if you still get the error.

I'll try to find a good software for VPN changing, but could u tell me to what country should I set it?

I tried changing my VPN, I changed it to the Netherlands to Germany as well, with both I had the same problem and the same error, any other thoughts please...

Remove 4d1, control game caches with steam, update if necessary and reinstall iw4m

What do u mean control game cashes? a small explanation would be nice

May be a stupid question, but did you also try other servers?

If u read my original post carefully u would see that I said (any server), so yes, of course I tried so many servers and all the servers get stuck at setting up game

A few friends and I experience the same problem on an occasion on some servers, however it seems it went away after the new update today.

Seems like many people are having this issue...

Run Steam, right-click on the mw2 icon (try sp first) and select properties. In the new window opened, select the tab Local Content (or something like that) and hit the button Control Game Caches. It could take a few minutes or an half hour, if it encounters corrupted files it will start a download to replace them.

Understood? If not sorry for my bad english.

The problem is, I don't own the game on Steam, and I can never own it coz these things r not available here in Iraq, so is there any other way to check the files???

OMG delete your post or IW will shut us down as well as it did with aIWnet!!!!!!!!!

No, seriously, don't know how to chech files without steam. Have you tried to reset your stats? Maybe there's a corrupted file that makes u unable to join...

Wow dude, that won't happen because of one post.

What stats got to do with files whether they're correpted or not, stats r saved online u know, I would try a new account though, don't wanna delete all my stats for nothing

I was joking -.-

Have you tried to load the map in a private match? Does it stucks?

I tried with another account but still I get the same problem, but when I run a private server the maps loads normally without getting stuck at setting up game, so what's up with that???

Try to Disable your router's firewall and check if windows firewall is blocking IW4M

... this is an issue that has been known to (usually infrequently) happen on servers not using precached configstrings - like any 159-based IW4M build, and any servers running DLC2 maps. I haven't ever experienced a case where this happens persistently - although it's weird how IW did not add this data for DLC2 maps seeing as that is another scenario in which this error can and will occur, even on the unmodified game version.

My router's firewall is off, my antivirus firewall is off when I play (I turn off the antiviris and close it) anf my windows firewall is disabled, so it's not that

So NT, does this mean that I can't do anything about it and that I have to deal with this problem as it is?

 

Nice doublepost, there is a edit button for a reason. This might result in a warning next time.

This is an edited thread, I edited both the title and the content of the thread, that's why this post has more than 400 views and more than a dosen replies, so please check better next time before talking non-sense
