Sgt Wacky

where would I find the existing iw3mp.exe file?

Any suggestions on how to fix...... Window 10 Home addition upgrade processed this morning and now unable to launch COD 4. Can launch COD 4 software and select multiplayer then it just exits the game. Thanks

Thks

Thanks for your follow-up and comments. It appears that the issue was associated with "Sync every frame" setting in COD 4. I changed the setting to "no" and am now getting significantly higher fps. I will test setting my fps to 333 as well to see if it helps further. Cheers!

something went funky when I tried to cut/paste specs...here they are: 8 core processor Intel i7-9700k memory 16 gb (2 x 8 gb) DDR4 2666 MHZ Motherboard GIGABIT Z390 UD SSD Lexar PCIe M.2 480 GB Video GeForce RTX 2080 Windforce 8 GB GDDR6 Power 750 w HD WD 4 TB 5400 rpm Windows 10 COD 4 primary game.... Did I miss anything?

Monitor is 27 inches....Samsung Resolution 1920 x 1080 in windows 10 display setup with Fixed scaling On". I change game to same and will monitor impact. Game set at 75 Hz. not sure of impact this has...... FPS is 60 +/- and 16.0 cg ms/frame Thoughts?

Purchased new pc with Geoforce rtx 2080 video card. Also running I7-9700 processor In game graphics are awesome when not moving. I can actually see the opponents for a change. When I am moving around the image is shaky/blurry and difficult to focus. This means it is extremely hard to shoot or sight to shoot. Totally sucks and makes game play not worth the time of day. Ping is typically in the 60-70 range. Any suggestions as to possible setting changes or where to go to improve the situation. Cheers!

Thank you for everyone's feedback and help. I changed the exe file as suggested and now the game works. Now hopefully, with the new computer, my game play will be better........ Cheers!

Thanks for the PB legacy files. I am able to get into multiplayer now but unable to get servers to list. I made sure it was on Internet setting. I have a good internet connection. I read something about the servercache.dat file Is this the problem?

Bought new PC...download COD 4 from Steam. When starting game for first time looks like it tried to install Punkbuster but it failed. Am able to play Single player. Click on Multiplayer option and screen just goes blank. Researched issue and it appears COD 4 Multiplayer requires PB to run.....is this correct? Where do i find "right" version of PB to run COD 4 Multiplayer? Appreciate any help..... Cheers!

Thanks for feedback. Found that for some reason the Input Device for Stereo Mix had been disabled. Once I enabled it everything was fine. Go figure???? Hope this may help someone else should the same problem occur. Cheers

Windows 10 just did update and now I am unable to run COD 4. All other COD games are fine. The desktop shortcut appears to be going to correct drive and folder. There is a iw3mp.exe file present 3252 kb After attempting to connect a file iw3mp.exe is in the folder with 1 kb. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

guess this was a bust...no one showed up at 3 nor at 8. Disappointing...

that worked Dee...thank you!

I have always launched the game from my hard drive.... with a short cut on my desktop. I tried going directly to Activision folder and iw3mp.exe file and tried launching it from there but get same result....pop-up asks if I want to open in safe mode. I tried both options of yes and no but outcome was the same...screen goes to COD 4 screen...pauses and closes. It clearly is looking for a file and I guess doesn't find it and closes. I wonder what file it is looking for...any ideas?

Thanks for feedback. I don't run the program through Steam. any other suggestions?

Just had a windows 10 update..... Tried to start COD 4 and seems fine, logo comes up and then nothing. Just exits. Could it be an iw3mp.exe issue? Rest of applications on PC seem fine. Appreciate any help you can give... Cheers

I'm with Harry on this. I suppose it is much like utilizing the mute function in the game when the conversation or individual becomes annoying...I/we could just stop looking at the forums if the content is not of ones liking. That too is a matter of choice. We are extremely fortunate that we, as members and perhaps non-member, have the ability to express ones self in a way that is perhaps offensive or not so much to others. Given the alternative I support ones rights to speak freely even when I believe it is offensive or vulgar or perhaps even sometimes informative. The decision is mine to act in the way I am most comfortable with without restricting others their right to act as they do. However, do not cross the line towards personal attacks or criticisms as this then is 100% unacceptable. Respect others at all times. Just my perspective.

tried both of the suggests and made changes and still get error...any suggestions?

Hmmmm wonder how long we will continue to defend and find excuses for someone who acts inappropriate.....

that's comforting as not only did I think I was wacky but an idiot too... now I few better

so now that I'm in, how do i utilize this ability to get on the server when it is full?

I'm in the group please add me...thanks
