Howdy fellas,

I can´t join so far...
Non of classes can´t be choosed.

Any ideas?

Hit enter, this was happening to me on my wqhd monitor with the wqhd resolution. Lower it to 2569x1440 and then ESC key works fine. 

[5Star.General]

That one was working tho.
So we blame this one to my monitor and I guess a fix is in progress

CoD4x client behaves differently. It communicates with the server securely and are handled in a bit more standardized way. The original doesn't support ultra wide monitors. The image is just stretched. This may or may not be desirable. A stretched image also changes the hit markers perception.

A few people have been struggling to install COD4x to older Mac machines. 

This is what Chatgpt recomends

A 2012 Mac is actually one of the better Macs for running CoD4x because it uses an Intel processor and supports Boot Camp.

The main thing to know is that CoD4x does not have a native macOS client. The CoD4x developers specifically recommend running the Windows version through Boot Camp or a Wine-based solution such as CrossOver.

Best option: Boot Camp + Windows

If your 2012 Mac has enough storage:

1. Back up your Mac.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant in macOS.
3. Install Windows 10.
4. Install Steam and download Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
5. Install the CoD4x client patch following the CoD4x instructions.
6. Launch the game from Windows and join CoD4x servers.

This will give the best performance and compatibility.

Alternative: CrossOver

If you don't want a Windows partition:

1. Install CrossOver.
2. Create a Windows bottle.
3. Install Steam inside CrossOver.
4. Install CoD4.
5. Install the CoD4x patch.

The CoD4x team mentions CrossOver as a supported workaround, although performance and compatibility can vary.

Check your macOS version

• If you're running Mojave (10.14) or older, the original Mac version of CoD4 can run.
• If you're running Catalina (10.15) or newer, Apple removed 32-bit app support, so the old Mac version of CoD4 won't run natively. Boot Camp becomes the easiest route.

But the Mac Version of COD4 can not support COD4x no matter what you do, you have to run the windows version as there is no Mac binary for COD4x

Thanks for the info.

This proves how first hand knowledge out shines AI every time.

Someone recently had said that Cod4x was standard but at the time I was using an iw3mp.exe that was for 1.7, not Cod4x. @YACCsterare you playing on 1.7 for Mac and can't connect to the new server? I'm trying to understand if you can substitute an iw3mp.exe or if Cod4x is more than that.

Cod4x client replaces your binary and places some dlls in your games folder. It's a community driven open source project.  It was created by people who love COD4MW and wanted to address its short comings.  They disassembled the original binaries and then recompiled with the re-worked network stack, bringing modern updates to an old game.  Hope this helps.

I haven’t been using the cod4 app for the Mac since Apple abandoned 32bit applications usage back ~2019. There is no Cod4x for the Mac.

My old ping was 89 to 93, 94. When we first swapped the server the ping was 100 - 119 
Now it's 145 to 170 in peaks.

[PickleRick]

Wrong and duplicate names on scoreboard. Me and Crimson appear on both teams while Duffy doesn't appear at all in the enemy team. Meanwhile Dukoo appears as spectator in text chat but is displayed on the enemy team as playing.

This is a known naming issue with cod4x which these guys have solved in their server: https://memebois.co/

[Dukoo]

With 27 ping wich is not even my ping. In the old server i had 89 ping, now since two days my ping in this server went from 119 at first after installing that mod for it, and now to 149 plus it is super super laggy, i restarted my pc, started up the old server, 89 ping without any lagg. Something is so so off on this new one, and it's only since a day or two

[Cecilia]

I may have experienced the biggest change in ping, from 30s to 130s since I moved between continents while the server only moved to Chicago. But I think comparing the new server to my gameplay from a year ago before I came to the US would give a better comparison.

I'm playing on a laptop, and I always had to keep both the charging cable and the Ethernet cable connected, or else I would get constant CIs that made the game unplayable for me. With the new server, I tried playing using WiFi only, and I rarely get any CIs now. Unplugging the charging cable and the Ethernet cable still affects my gameplay, but on the old server I wouldn't even be able to move when doing that, and now I can play with only slight stuttering doing so. I already had CoD4x installed on my computer and had played on other CoD4x servers before, and I would still experience the same problem there, but not on the new server.

While I was fully connected with the cables and only getting CIs once in a while, people on the old server would still often tell me that I was lagging and that bullets were going through me even though I wouldn't feel the lag on my end. Maybe some people could tell me if they still feel the same after I shoot them now.

I'm not very knowledgeable about tech, and I'm sure many of you here could explain the effects of using these cables, but I wanted to share my experience to appreciate whatever changes @iboomboom made indeed improved the gameplay for me, and I trust everything else will continue to improve.

I'm still jet-lagged after a trip that took about 24 hours with layovers, so I might be imagining all of this, and if so, please don't mind me and I'll update my experience later on.

But why are you the only Dutch person having this issue. Why not other people from the same or nearby region? I am wondering what are the differences. Cod4x client version, ISP, PC, Rotuer? Queenie has issues too, on both servers.

Thank you for giving me the contact info for some of the CoD4x devs, I will reach out to them once I get some breathing room.

Unfortunately,  we had the segmentation error again. Everyone got kicked of server and first map in rotation put up. We could all connect again after and play for a little while. I think I hear people saying this has happened multiple times tonight. But I just joined. We were on map rasmata when it crashed and I think Ferro was saying in chat that he kept having bad lag issues. No clue if that had anything to do with it

As for ping as a Dutchy. My ping was about 5 to 10 lower on the earlier new server compared to old. So that was better  On the latest server it's around 5-10 higher compared to old. I'm just guessing the location is less good for me

Yep happened again now, we went back to old server for now.
