General

 

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.

aawww myygaaawwwwddd,

 

thanx for the fix, gj for placing it into the FAQ.

 

I'm so happy I can start playing.

just another quick question...

 

Can I play with my other friends on steam? or do we have to connect via console like "connect "IP"

Hey Guys.

 

2 Questions:

 

1) I'm downloading legit Mw2 from steam on a friends account. Does it check the files or the account?

 

2) Once it checks the steam, do I have to run steam every time before running IW4M?

 

Thanks.

 

Oftopic: What is up with AlterRev? Are they legit, because apparently it's ''just like alterIW'' and some say It's a virus. I'm just curious about that community.

I can't be bothered to read 11 pages, so I'll just ask it here: Can I get banned on steam for using this?

 

I'm sure you have been told this before,

But no you can not be banned for using this.

1. It only verifies if you have a legit copy (Nothing else, And doesn't require you to start the steam version or go through it or even look at it)

2. For everyone asking. Consider this like a Completely remade version of modern warfare 2 (steam)

It does not go through your steam game of COD AT ALL.

It's not any where even related to the steam version other than the looks.

Like said before : It is its own CLIENT. Or shall i say, Its OWN GAME (Technically)

But considered a mod of the original, Since it looks/appears exactly like the steam version.

Hope this clears some things up for the newbies :3

This has already probably been mentioned already, but I am unable to find any servers in the server browser (expected) and I am also not finding any games on matchmaking, Does this actually work yet, or am I messing something up? thx all!

No, it doesn't work yet. Wait for the final release. What is currently available is just a taste of what is to come. It's far from finished in the forum that has been posted.

Thanks for the quick response, but isn't the matchmaking suppose to work?

or is that currently WIP as well?

I heard that Activison are on to NTA and they asked him to remove the files needed to make iw4m playable.

iw4m will hopefully be working sometime soon

It looks like there was only one file that was Activision's and the rest are NTA's, so he removed that one that belonged to Activision. Even if matchmaking works, it looks like you can only play 1 map, so it's really not even worth it.

Respectfully disagree, If it's fixed up like Alter, one map of IW4M is better than retail.

This will my doubt. tankyou

can steam be in offline mode while you verify? :?

it gives me that error when I try:

 

it gives me that error when I try:

 

As I remember, alteriwnet didn't work on xp, so I don't think this version will

Alteriw worked on xp.. Try installing .net framework 3.5 and then 4.0

I get 0 Players online.

Is really nobody online, or is it something on me? My NAT shows strict but that wasnt a problem back in aIW

Well, That's because there are no servers (besides the Developers servers) online, and no players

 

Meanwhile on steam, when I try to play mw2, it says 0 players. And I have to wait about 10 minutes for the lobbies to appear

There are players (a few), I just played a game.

 

I know it's not the right place to post this but: the game crashes when you change the anti-aliasing settings.

make a game, hit your console, type devmap followed by any map title you wish to play, all maps work in matchmaking as well.

 

grasskopf you are 99% silly troll, 1% logical guy

Before I had the file so I could see the dedicated server list, if I went into match making, it only let me select one map.

I don't think matchmaking is supported anymore. (It always returns zero players and NTA mentioned not emulating the IWNet platform anymore as his get out of jail free card)

Hi guys ,

 

When i try to download it , it open the console but i got the error ' Error during initialization:

Could not authenticate to NP server at iw4.prod.fourdeltaone.net -- bad details.'

 

Someone help me please ?

@StraDzz You may have uncovered something in the new release. The NP server on the old AlterIW was the logins server, so I think NT's working on logins for the game. As for now, try re-downloading it, and using the legit version of course,

i get an error saying "steam must be running to play this game."

 

 

and yes steam is running, ive tried restarting steam and it never worked

You guys just need to calm down.

The game is still not even fully complete yet.

WAIT FOR A FULL RELEASE.

Your errors aren't a concern at this point in time.

When a full release is done, then yes.

But for now, There's only one server anyways, And that isn't even up all the time.

So again

WAIT FOR A FULL RELEASE.
