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.

 

More questions?

Try taking a look at this topic here

 

Other questions will be posted here, and updated.

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

 

True story! +1

I wont buy the damn game cause i cant afford it, im unemployed, no money incoming

Does this project also support dedicated servers? (As in VPS/Dedicated servers, and is this the same way as in aIW? + Mods/Gamemodes?)

Reading the thread you post in is awful helpful in answering your questions ...

But yet you can afford a high speed internet connection and I'd suspect a "Smart Phone"?

Why would it? That's an MW3 game mode. Make an MW2 mod for it.

i just wanna know if these M2 release is gonna have kill con

 

Why would it?

 

Because they were in the official aIW M2 servers.

fixed ^

You should update this FAQ.

 

- Will I be able to host my own dedicated server?

- What is IW4M actually?

- Where can I get IW4M and does it cost anything beside the costs for MW2?

- Do I need Steam to play IW4M?

- Is it safe to use IW4M?

- What are the requirements to play IW4M?

- How big is the IW4M installation?

- Is this a legal project?

- Who's responsible for the anti-cheat and bans?

- I'm banned, now what?

 

Ofcourse I know the answers to most of these questions, but I guess you would be the best to describe everything.

Hey I've got a problem with my Steam-Version of CODMW2: I start the game, click on "search game" (my game is actually on german, it says "Spiel suchen") and in the lists there are 0/0 players online. When I try to search a game, I simply stay in my lobby and nothing happens, but I doubt that there are no users online, aren't there?

You can wai about 5 minutes before searching, and you'll find a match. Back in the day me and me friends played private matches before every session, instead of waiting mindlessly
