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.

$team is a good idea for playing games online but if that means removing LAN and prohibiting the user from playing offline then Valve can go to hell. do you deny that if Valve didn't exist that COD would still be as awesome as ever(eg. COD4)?

Counter Strike: Valve game 100% - supports LAN play

Call of Duty: Only affiliation with Valve: Distribution over steam - No LAN play. Just like BFBC2 and BF3, which have no connection with Steam (Well, BC2 is sold over Steam, but it doesn't require it so that doesn't count)

 

Yeah, I really think it's Steam/Valve's fault that Call of Duty has no LAN...

Yes because Activision is convinced that $team will stop piracy, which it hasn't matey.

That makes no sense... Activision removed LAN play because they thought Steam would STOP piracy?

Yes, think about it, if there's no LAN the only way to play the game would be to buy the legit copy and play online.

Lan Play is not important to me ... I cant think of the last time i had 12 people over to play a game ......

Activision and IWNet are who fucked up COD not Valve ...

Get your facts straight.

 

If Valve DESIGNS games that include LAN play .... then why would they block it on other peoples games that run through their platform?

Yes, think about it, if there's no LAN the only way to play the game would be to buy the legit copy and play online.

But if they'd think Steam would stop piracy, then there's be no reason to remove LAN...

But I think we're going a LITTLE bit off-topic, so if you really want to continue this discussion, you should just PM me.

Screw this, I'm not gonna get through to you people. Goodbye and have fun, I'm gonna play Angry Birds Space.

I don't understand this whole argument on steam.

Steam is actually quite decent if you think about it.

If anybody stopped lan play, it was the developers of the game themselves.

Almost all of steam games have lan play available.

CSS

CS 1.6

Half-Life

Half-life 2 Deathmatch

TF2

 

A lot.

 

Now back to things that make most of all of your points not even valid.

Infinity ward creates their game, Okay?

They choose the features it can have, or can't have.

Valve has nothing to do with the creation of the game other than giving it a free spot on steam and selling it to their community/communities.

If valve had anything to do with the creation of the game, they would of put dedicated servers in.

It's a fact.

Steam is a computer program For computer gamers, yes? Duh.

So with this being said, They know what computer players want.

Lan, Dedicated servers etc..

 

But obviously valve had nothing to do with the creation, and just sell it on their steam client.

...

True, but please try to stay on-topic from now on (That goes for everyone)

There is one question, that's bothering me. Some fag hacked my Steam account but only deleted my friendlist and cheated on a CS server -> VAC-Ban. MW2 is NOT affected so I wrote a request to Steam if they could transfer my games to a new account. No answer till now.

 

My question: When i bind my 4D1 account to my Steam account now, will I be able, if I get my games tranfered to a new Steam account to unbind my 4D1 account from the old Steam account?

 

Hope you understand what I mean (pretty bad English )

The only thing where they back up your statements is in the line

Black Ops will once again be a Steam exclusive (with VAC as cheat protection again too). This means you will need an internet connection to play

. And that's not true at all, as Counter Strike and other Valve games show, Steam exclusive does not imply needing an internet connection.

I'm not trying to restart the arguement, I'm just saying that Activision is using steam as an excuse to screw over the pc community by removing certain features from COD such as my favourite one, LAN.

I suggest that you listen to the admins/mods

And stop swaying off-topic.

Because even for a non-staff,

This is annoying the hell out of me.

We were told to go back to being on-topic.

But i guess this just hasn't ran through anybody's mind yet.

Imbecilic..

Idiot...

I want ask one more q. If we download now mw2 from alteriw, will we be able to play DLC's for free on original and if we can, how we should do that? Thanks bros.

You're really that stupid to ask that here?

where's the download i want this so bad!!!!.and better then steam

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?

 

I've got the same problem with the legit MW2. Maybe there's one option to solve that.

Start the game and first of all run a "private match" on any maps or game modes. (you'll be alone in this match) Wait for the match time overs and after that start the normal "Find games"' -> FFA/TDM/ect.. It's possible that the game will be searching for a lobby and you can join for that.

It's work for me 100 %...

where's the download i want this so bad!!!!.and better then steam

There is no release yet, so there is also no download link available.

I doubt there's going to be a download link because of legal issues.

Then how do you expect people to play IW4M...

There will not be a download link to the base game, which you will need to get from Steam, but the ability to download the modified IW4M files will be kind of necessary.

There's no download for the IW4M mod yet. It hasn't been released. You will be able to download those files and add them to your legit copy of MW2 when it is finally released.

So, there will be new Maps and Gametypes. Right ?

Is it possible to port Guns from SP to MP, like the Dragunov?

Two questions still:

 

Ban method?

 

Xp support?
