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.

Still better than playing on Steam.

Dammit? Why don't you start a "legit" aproach like Teknogods? They state on the website it can't be played without a legit copy, but it's just to keep 'em of the project.

Hope it'll at least attract players.

when we will be able to play mw2 again?

Note the word client. A client is inherently insecure, but the OpenID API doesn't offer any means to check for a license. :/

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?

So this is actually the m2 client, which requires a legit steam copy?

Cool.

I have the same issue; the official IWNet server is broken for a lot of people.

And it starts.

Nope.

Sounds nice! Keep up the good work NTA!

Oh, ok...

Negotiations, no?

Actually, the one that should have the legit game are aMW3 and aOps.

Activision is trying to make the game squeeze out its last penny.

Still better than playing on Steam.

Hope it'll at least attract players.

I'm sure it will. Why thank you, NTA!

oh god please make something so we can play on pirated but dont tell us how

He just came out a legal trouble with Activision, I bet he won't make anything pirate again.

Good luck on IW4M anyway, i'll be there if I manage to get legit MW2

Glad to hear it....

Do you have a plan already and some kind of delivery date for this?

thanks a lot

P

Hope you know, that you're the best.

 

So we're able to play AlterIWNet in future when we have the legal Steam Version?

Uh, thanks NTA <3

Let's buy MW2!

i and my brother steam account where is mw2.

but brother hacking and giving VAC banned, so can play with it or buy new copy?

Try it!

I really like the idea of binding a bought copy of mw2 to an IW4M account, it will also result in less cheaters/more high quality players.

Note the word client. A client is inherently insecure, but the OpenID API doesn't offer any means to check for a license. :/

As far as I know a client owner check is pretty easy to bypass using a memory patcher.

I am not sure that I understood you right, but some websites like http://www.steamgifts.com/ use OpenID to check for bought games and it works like a charm.

Edit:

They are only using OpenID to check if you actually own the account, and then sync the game library with the public profile of this steam account.

 

Note: We require all registered users to have their Steam game library synced with our site. If your profile is public, this will automatically be done on a regular basis. For those using a private or friends only profile, you'll be able to bring your account up-to-date by briefly switching to a public profile for a few seconds a week. This is done to prevent users from entering giveaways for games which they already own.

 

Its also possible to look up the vac status. (http://www.vacbanned.com)

How long untill this is out, or did i just say something very stupid O.o

it's because of pirated versions that AlterIWnet had to be closed......

WTF.......buy the game if you want it.

AlterIWnet was meant to add what MW2 was missing, dedicated servers and mods, not to provide people an easy way to find a game for free.
