Will IW4M allow pirated game copies?

Since there is no checking mechanism, the answer is yes, but we are not responsible for your illegal acts, nor do we recommend you to do so.

 

What does it support?

Everything that was in aIW's IW4M2 (such as mod support, dedicated servers, custom textures).

However, since Activision will not allow us emulating their service, IW4M only supports dedicated servers, and not matchmaking.

 

Is the source code public?

Client-side source is public, including the code for dedicated servers. The master-server source, along with the anti cheat source (aCI), however, will not be available.

 

Can I transfer my stats/rank hack?

Old stats from alterIWnet will be imported automatically on the first start; any other stat files can be imported using EAM, which can be found in any number of places.

 

Can I play if I'm VAC banned on Steam?

Yes, as we cannot verify which game you were banned from, this status is irrelevant. If you want to be better safe than sorry, make a copy of your Modern Warfare 2 folder from steamapps, and put the IW4M files into the new folder.

 

Do I have to have the DLC on Steam to play the DLC maps on IW4M?

No, as we cannot verify that you do or do not have the DLC on Steam, you will not be incurred any limitations on the client.

 

Is there any anti-cheat?

There is a functional anti cheat that is constantly being updated. Cheat reports are not allowed, nor needed.

Game Support

 

Error during initialization: Could not authenticate to NP server at iw4.prod.fourdeltaone.net -- bad details.

That usually means that the master server is down, please try again in a few minutes.

 

Couldn't load image 'preview_mp_***'.

You are missing the DLC packs/related IWD files for Modern Warfare 2. Update your game on Steam, or download iw_22.iwd and iw_23.iwd and put them in the 'main' subdirectory in your MW2 directory.

 

The client is updated, but when I play I have no ammo.

That means the server on the one you are playing is not up to date. Play on another server or ask the server admin (politely) to update.

 

Weapon index mismatch for 'destructible_car'.

That means the server on the one you are playing is not up to date. Play on another server or ask the server admin (politely) to update.

 

How to login with a different account

Delete iw4m.ini from your game folder.

Other questions will be posted here, and updated.

new project coming?I hope dont start to unstable release :evil:

Hes spent the Last 2 years sorting it out? All hes really got to do is the legitimacy validator then hes off and running?..

Dedicated servers and mods are exactly why I loved AlterIW. Not a thousand different servers all just like the other, lots of variety. The game never got old. I bought MW3 because I enjoyed Alter so much. Who would have known it would suck so bad.

 

You build it NTA and I'll be sure to buy a legit copy of MW2. Activi$ion should be paying you for showing how PC gaming really should be!

Will IW4M allow pirated game copies?

No, IW4M will check with the Steam client for the game being legitimately purchased.

But you do know, that the userbase will be significantly smaller than on aIW because of this?

Is that a bad thing?

And also, it prevents NTAuthority's house from becoming significantly smaller... (ie jail )

Will it support Windows XP for God's sake...?

MW2 needs: xp/vista/7 (and win 8 consumer preview)

Quick question can I install this on multiable pcs (LAN) with the same steam id?

That's not obvious at all (At least, I assume yolarrydabomb was also referring to actually playing simultaniously). In that case: since Steam doesn't allow it, I wouldn't be suprised if IW4M won't allow it either.

Im not gonna buy the game anyways, just came to this community to have a forum in which I can ask questons and such...

I think you can do it with Steam Offline mode

It will obviously work on multiple PCs, thus.. I have my doubts about using it on multiple computers at the same time.

a no pirated that mean buy mw2 and play aiw mp

Well, seems like I'm going to have to buy MW2

$19.99 in Steam Store right now.

why should you be payed you for your job when your boss can just chain you at the chair and force you to make it for free

again alterIWnet idea was to be able to have dedicated servers and mods.....which are not on the ufficial MW2.

Anyway I will be pleased if the non paying players don't join the game because often they are the same who use cheating, which is stupid like alchol-free beer

Wow, NTA, thats cool... can wait(i have bought mw2 when it came out) and for the people who dont want to give 50€ for it... http://www.cddiski.ru/pc/games/action/f ... fare-2.htm get cdkey for ~10€ and play it here thanks NTA.. original MW2 MP sucks... when will your IW4M be done?

i will never buy game i will download orginal steam mw2 torrent file

why give 59.99 dolars for orginal game and play it pirated is that retarded

Hey it's only 20 bucks now. Not bad, but could use a little more discounting towards...maybe 6.99 lol.

It's 24,99€ for those who live in Europe, still too much for a 2 year old game IMO
