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.

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'.

How to login with a different account

Delete iw4m.ini from your game folder.

Other questions will be posted here, and updated.

I've found a fix for the "steam must be running" problem.

 

Step 1. Start iw4m.exe, wait til it says steam must be running.

Step 2. Exit steam and start iw4m.exe, it will obviously say "failed to intialize, please start steam and restart the game"

Step 3. Start steam again, open iw4m.exe and it should work.

 

-Step 4- If it wont work, exit steam and open it as adminstrator and open iw4m.exe as adminstrator too.

 

This worked for me, hope it works for you too.

 

Aimbat out.

 

That is not a FIX.

 

There is no current fix that that bug, doing random shit won't help.

 

Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't

Well, it fixed my problem. "Steam must be running" has never showed up for me since i did that.

Just a bunch of answers...

To everyone who is getting the "steam must be running to play this game." -error, just replace all the files (iw4m.exe, iw4m.dll, libnp.dll and the raw.iwd). Worked for me.

Suggestion for FAQ...

Q. I get the error Steam must be running to play this game after steam verification, how may I fix this.

A. Download the files from here, and put them in your MW2 folder. Select the files you just added to that folder, right click them, and click properties. Make sure read only is checked. (worked for me. might be possible fix...)

These wont guarantee anything.... If you try it and fail then you've wasted your time. these are POSSIBLE FIXES for CERTAIN PEOPLE...

If those don't work its the libnp.dll file. This shouldn't have anything to do with steam, unless your stupid enough to try and run the game w/o steam...

Well, I mean, it worked for me, and it might work for others, just trying to help.

Thats okay. Any suggestion may help. All i did was replace the files... It seemed to work for so far 2 days... No errors yet...

Hehe, yeah. I'm sorry for calling it a fix.

No problem

Dont know if this was asked before but i dont want to scroll through all the pages.

 

Is it allowed to use the old alterIWnet stats?

Since ive put the new files from here into my old aIW folder and i still got my old stats, i would like to keep them, there are hundrets of hours spent into all the challenges and stuff, and i dont want to reroll my levels a third time.

Are you kidding? Can you be that stupid? Obviously the server is down.

Never underestimate the power and stupidity of the internet :?

 

But yes, server is down as you can see here ( http://4d1.jeremych.com/ ) with the little switch being in the "off" position.

 

imo most of these "fixes" aren't actually fixes. It works when it works, just because you jump on one foot and praise the almighty hotdog overlord and it starts up doesn't mean they are linked

They are "temporary" fixes. Wait for Binary release.
