Hi, I have an error that is killing me, and I tried everything to try and fix it, but nothing is working, I posted 2 times but no one helped or even bothered to reply XD, anyway now I have like 3 or 4 folders of the game, just trying to run anyone of them and nothing works, and both errors show up on the start of the console (i.e. before the game even starts in a right way), on one of them I get this error

 

 

 

And another copy of the game when I run it it gives me this error

 

 

So please anyone can help me on getting any of those two copies running??? I'll be very thankful.

What is that, aRev? (I have no clue what that first error is...)

First error = WHAT DAFOQ?

 

Second error = That is a problem with our NP server, you'll have to wait it out or try another time.

 

Delete the first folder (back up important stuff), as that thing is corrupted with something else, so try with a clean folder. (Extract that Modern Warfare 2 file again)

Download THIS, extract it and put the files in your MW2 folder. Run LaunchIW4M.exe, and it should work.

 

Any other errors report here.

Did what u said, downloaded that launch component although I tried that before like 10 times, extracted it in the second copy (the one that got the "Steam must be running" error), ran LaunchIW4M.exe, the game updated (as a new update is released a while ago) and still the same "Steam must be running" error is happening when the console starts, I hope u have another solution that I can try, thank u.

That is a problem on our side (NP Server). Your just gonna have to try another time or wait it out. Also make sure to remove any steam*.dlls (apart from steam_api.dll)

 

 

Also for what Sora3100 said, here is a localization.txt download: http://www.mediafire.com/?87hv0284mb2c2 (by DUKIP). Place this in your MW2 folder.

Deleted all the Steam*.dll files except Steam_api.dll, downloaded the localization.txt and placed it in all the current copies that I have (3 copies), now all copies showing the "Steam must be running" error, I will keep trying at different times, but believe me I tried it a lot, I keep trying every 15 min or so when I'm using my laptop, but it's always like this, thanks for ur help both of u guys, and if u have any other thing in mind please tell me so that I try it.

For most ALL errors a fresh and clean install fixes those problems. ( I mean EVERYTHING , not just 4D1 client.)

Maybe you have an active proxy?

Check Internet Explorer settings, ("connections" tab) to start.

I did try that, I installed a clean version of MW2 from a disk that I have, it has only a single player crack, so the MP files should be clean, and still getting the "Steam must be running to play this game" error.

I'm sorry, but this is an issue on the 4D1 side. There is nothing you can do about it.

Just wait it out.

I checked that, and the "use a proxy for ur LAN connection" option is not ticked, so it's disabled, so no, I don't have an active proxy, so is that a good thing or a bad thing??

Hmmm... Have you tried waiting it out? Or is that what you have been doing this whole time... I really think its something with your Firewall...

Ok, will wait, thanks for ur help vextor and thanks for everyone else for the replies.

 

P.S. if u get any update about a solution for this problem I hope u would drop me a note here

Since it wouldn't hurt, try this:

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/b9r349y0ppz7pvs/iw4m.dll?dl=1

Put this in your MW2 folder.

Yep, I've been waiting out all this time XD, and about the firewall, I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security, so it has it's own firewall and it automatically disables the Windows system built-in firewall, and I always turn my Kaspersky off before playing any game, I even get the warning that I don't have any active firewall when I turn off the Antivirus, so no, I don't think it's about the firewall.

Have you tried the custom .dll I posted above?

Tried it now, got this error now "Error during initialization:

This demo version (1) has expired. Please visit http://fourdeltaone.net/ (or run iw4_updater.exe) to obtain a new version (91)." and this error showed up as the first line in the console, I mean no other lines was written before it, just that.

Oh, that means that .dll posted by Toolbox has the wrong buildnumber.h

:?

Toolbox, it's the one used for the Fatal Errors in the Common Fixes thread.

I've got the same error too. I don't know what's going on, because i was playing like 10 minutes ago. And now I was going to play it again, and gives me that error.

Well, for me it never worked, it always shows me this error since the start, and I'm just so frustrated about it coz I really liked Aiwnet and this is done by the same guys, so it's just delivering MW2 in a perfect way...

Nevermind, it started to work again. I just replaced localization.txt for the one that they post up there ^.

It gave me an error: "Steam must be running to play this game", but i waited a little, and it started to work.

Try to do this.
