Boards Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi shazzam, Have you read this article from our homepage? Try following the instructions here and let us know how you do. Steam updates to COD4 affect your ability to access all servers. Read the article. http://www.net-jam.com/home/m/17282471/article/4837455 Boards Link to comment
shazzam.dow Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 thanks Boards, I did finally find out what was going on with it not wanting to load the game, so I use the onboard sound realtec , I plugged in my mic on my headphones and the game loaded, go figure, Link to comment
shazzam.dow Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 I tried doing the exe but it doesn't want to work so I might be stuck with the 1.8 Link to comment
Boards Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Sorry to hear about your difficulties, shazzam. Glad you figured out the mic fix. So simple yet we always forget to do it. It is important that you move the whole COD4 folder to a location outside the Steam apps folder. Make a backup before doing so. Then you add the revised exe. Did you do that? There must be a way to get this working. Anyone else have any suggestions? Boards Link to comment
TurboX Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yea I just literally copied the entire folder from steamapps into it's own folder then made a desktop shortcit tp "\iw3mp.exe" from inside the new folder. Kept the steam folder install as well as the backup. It's so great to be able to launch the game without needing steam. Link to comment
Gryphus_1 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 If you're still on 1.8 then you either didn't follow the instructions fully, or will need to redownload CoD4 through Steam (WITHOUT connecting to any servers) and follow the instructions that Boards linked again. As for Realtek, that's an old one. Glad you figured it out. G1 ""Don't quote my quotes!" - Fruits" - Rattle Link to comment
