There are essentially 2 mods folders.  In the same folder where you find the usermaps folder for the custom maps, there should also be a mods folder.  This is where the game mods go.

You will also find a mods folder in the profiles folder under each profile. This mods folder contains the player data for those mods and is what you should be backing up with your profile.

If you delete the game mod, does it download again?

Does that mean the game crashes when it goes to load the next map ?

Hello! I have that issue with the new mode. I got an error between two maps. I have got to leave the game (the server) and come back to start the new map. Do you know what causes this problem? :unknw:

PS: it happens even when it doesn't download a new map...

I also got game crashes more and more often, the game being stuck on one image and repeating the last sounds over and over.

To quit the game, I have to close the Windows session and open a new one.

It could be an issue with my graphic card but I have this problem only with this game.

Ok I’ve deleted the game mods and it’s now downloading the ace mod , very slow though. Hopefully that will fix it.

Inside the player profile folders will be another which is where the player data is stored for that mod ie. Rank, ect.

The mods folder is the server mods. The players folder is for player data/stats (which is not a mod)

This is a different game Vincent we talk about here WAW you have the same as most of us, anytime you get a new map you must come completely out of COD 4 and start again then ok, just live with it I do.

right now it seems our redirect is down, That's why the slow download speeds. So everybody knows its nothing they did. All of a sudden this is happening to a lot of people. I'm trying to figure out why.

there are 3 folders and one file. Player folder is all your player profiles. Usermap folder is all your maps from everybody. Mods folder is all your mods from all servers. The servercache.dat file is all the favorites you have saved in the game.

These are the 2 mod folders I'm referring to.  The first being the mod from the game, the second mods folder being where the player data is stored.

If I were having trouble with a mod, I'd delete the mod in the mods folder directly under CoDWaW and let the game download it again.

@Merlin007 That is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. 2 mod folders. Holy crapola.

Could it be the difference between a Steam copy and a dvd?

This is mine, I use a dvd:

I use CD copy as well. What you show and what I showed is a standard CD game install. Steam install is a bit different though.

So when backing up player profiles, the player data for each mod is part of that backup.

It is weird? seems to be the problem though? just a thought, go onto someone elses server that has a mod, download it and see if it shows up.

What do you mean by "not listed in the game"? What list? The launch mod list?
