New windows 11 Desktop computer Installed from Steam account COD4 Can run single player but when switching to multiplayer....game just crashes. IF I recall there are perhaps two things needing to be done. First, changing the iw3mp.exe file? Is this correct and if so where do I find correct file? Second, I recall there may be some update changes 1.8 to 1.7 or something like that.... Can some one assist me on this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Thanks Install CoD4X Patch 21.1 The CoD4X patch is a patch for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that improves the game's functionality and adds new features. To install the CoD4X patch, follow these steps: https://cod4promod.eu/files/cod4/cod4x_client_21_1.zip Extract the "cod4x_client_21_1.zip" archive and copy the "cod4-client-manualinstall_21.1" folder to your CoD4 directory.

"sp" notates single player where as the "mp" in iw3mp.exe notates "multi player" I have started over a few times on my player profile from no fault of my own lol...Sucks but you get through it fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks steam adds all the updates when you download it, quite convenient from the old days of the hard copy disk, you also need to go back (downgrade)to a certain version of punkbuster(there's a article on this in the XI community forum I believe)good luck !
