    Demo files get uploaded to the website and not the portal. The portal is built by duc , This site already can accommodate most uploaded files on the forum topics and in PM.

    So I'm not sure what you are suggesting 

    You seemed to be suggesting that it is impractical to provide an upload link on the website to upload COD demo files.  I simply corrected you.  If I misunderstood your meaning, I apologize.

    This is not practical

    Members can message Admin directly via our PM system on this forum

    I am a moderator for COD4 and constantly monitor who is in our servers along with their history without being in the game, I also know of other Admins that do the same thing.

    So just because we don't appear to be in game we are still watching what is going on

    And the more evidence we have against genuine hackers the better

    But please bear in mind that just because a player is good at killing, It doesn't instantly make them a hacker

    Actually, it's entirely practical.  I've implemented uploaders for the use of artists to submit music to my internet radio stations when they were on the air.  What's probably not practical is expecting Duc to take on yet another task.

  3. Thanks for the reply, Merlin, and for keeping an eye on things.  My internet isn't the best, living out of a van and all, but I'll try switching over to my house's WiFi next time I see Timeouts on HLSW just to check if that clears things up.  I won't have the house WiFi available much longer, so we'll see if I can even catch it.  As of the time I'm writing this, HLSW this morning is showing all servers looking normal.  But here's the thing:  With the Sniper server on 149.56.xxx.xxx and all the rest on 74.91.xxx.xxx, I absolutely do believe it's a server/host issue when the three on the latter go Timeout, while the former looks and acts normal.  I don't see this as an HLSW issue at all.

    Anyway, I don't need to update my HLSW since it's working fine.  I can go into the Sniper server without a problem at all.  For that matter, I can go into all 4 servers as long as HLSW doesn't show them in Timeout. If you're saying that the Sniper server should also be found on the 74.91.xxx.xxx IP then why is there a Sniper server responding at 149.91.xxx.xxx?

    The map before Balystock was that snowy map that has a grave yard back in one corner, and buildings people like to snipe out of the windows from, and roofs you can get up on, but I don't remember its name.  Sorry.  I know that even that information isn't necessarily relevant since the server does player size based rotations.  Day before last, I think we may have been coming out of another map when it borked out.

    Have a good day.

  4. 2nd day in a row that DM3 has crashed late afternoon switching to map Balystock.

    And why is it that HLSW has frequently been showing our servers offline when, in fact, they aren't?  I prefer to check the servers and enter through HLSW when I find there are people in there playing.  Today, all servers but the Sniper server are showing "Timeout" yet (before DM3 crashed again), I could get into the game through the game itself just fine.  The Sniper server appears to be at a completely different IP, so I can only suspect it's a server configuration issue on 74.91.xxx.xxx.

    Is anyone putting in support tickets with this host and getting some support from them?

     

  5. To my knowledge so far, this is the only map I'm having a problem with.  I played this map on my old computer, which I just copied everything over from.  But after not playing for a few years, this is a new map since then for me.  I will check this map on my old computer, maybe try copying it over again, otherwise I guess I'll just have to sit this map out whenever it comes around.  

    Once I get on the road, I'm not sure how much I will be able to play anyway.  Don't think this game requires much bandwidth, and I don't think my ping will be off-scale high, but in all likelihood I'd be playing over a mobile connection.  Maybe Starlink.  Still thinking that one through...

    Hey dj. That is very strange, this map has been in a rotation for some time now without issue.  I personally haven't had issues and in comparing the files on the redirect to my own, the file sizes are identical.  I also deleted the map from my local usermaps folder and let the game download it from the redirect and that also went ok without issue.  Can't say why that is happening but have heard of something like this where a player couldn't download maps but was more of a firewall issue I believe if I recall correctly.  When you get the unhandled exception and check, did all 3 files of the map get downloaded, should be 2 .ff and 1 .iwd file, and were any of those 0kb in size?

    This is what I got:

  7. I cannot play this map.  When it loads, I get the map's intro screen, but then I get an unhandled exception.  This happens EVERY time.  I have deleted and let the server re-download the map for me.  No joy.  I have rebooted and rejoined the server while the map is still running.  No joy.  There's something wrong with that map.  Suggest an admin back up their current version and download the version on the redirect to test.  Or if you have a copy you are able to play with, check files on yours vs the redirect, and/or just copy yours up.  Thanks!

    Outside chance but I did read this somewhere, I don't think the Steam version has Punkbuster (I know you don't need it) check. If it isn't there try downloading add WAW to punkbuster and tick box in game, I'm sure this cured a similar problem for someone, but this is clutching at straws.

    The original WAW was built to work with Punkbuster and may not work if it's not present, but I'm no expert

    It does have it, and it did install it.

    does the server list show up ? If not that would mean the games not updated. You may also try running steam go to library your game right click select properties . There you have 2 choices one is updates the other is check interigty of the game. As ussual you can delete it and reload it. Good luck . Nice to see you back. 

    Yes, the server list shows up.  All XI servers are listed.  Someone told me recently in-game when I asked if anyone was on the Steam edition and if they had any problems, I was told, no problems, it installed and worked fine and was already patched.  Not sure if that's really true or not, and I have not installed any patches myself.  One person said to only install patches up to 7 and not do 8 otherwise the XI servers would not work.  Odd since the other person said it was pre-patched (presumably including 8 ) and worked on our servers.  I have run an integrity check and it says, "All 333 files successfully validated".

    Did you allow CoDWaWMP.exe through your firewall? Are you using the original cd key from which your profile was created? (Insert key in game menu in single player).Try running the .exe as admin from your Steam /common folder.

    I did find the place to enter a CD Key in the multiplayer settings.  It accepted my key as valid, but still no luck creating any profile.  Good point on the firewall, but I can see the XI servers (and everyone else's) on the server list, so I think it's getting through okay.  I think I did try to run the exe as admin at one point thinking it might need elevated privileges to get everything established.

    Is there no way of getting your old profile off old computer and inserting it in new version? It's on the forum somewhere (a few times) first tell windows to show hidden files then copy it, and keep a copy regularly as it updates. I've got the path to go upstairs but the wifes asleep, if I copy it correctly from our forum

    C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles

     

    Hi Rob,

    Yeah, I know all about transferring profiles.  In fact, I installed the game from Steam, then before even starting it and before the game had even created the Activision folder in AppData, I copied that entire folder structure over from the old machine.  Other than noticing that the hardware had changed (and just say no to the reset it suggests on launch), I expected it to come up fully intact and right where I left off.  Instead the game came up in 720 resolution and wanted me to create an online profile.  At first, I thought maybe the Steam version did things differently, so I renamed the Activision folder I copied over and restarted the game to let it create its own.  It did, so I know it's still the same old game, but absolutely nothing I've tried has worked to allow me to create even a scratch profile name.  I even found the place to enter a CD Key, which I still have, and it accepted it as valid, but just refuses to let me create ANY profile.  :(

     

  12. So I just got a new PC.  Can't find my old COD5 CD, but I do have the CD Key, but that seemed rather useless without a disc.  So I just pulled the trigger on Steam to repurchase the game for $15.

    It refuses to allow me to create any online profile.  wtf?

    Anyone have any suggestions?  I just seem to be chasing a ghosts with this one.  No working solution has been found in hours of searching.

  13. As a Game Pass PC subscriber, I welcome this news.  It could all go south, because, well, Microsoft, but consider what an absolutely spectacular thing they did resurrecting MS Flight Simulator.  FS2020 is a quantum leap in flight simulator realism.  Everyone thought MS had totally exited the market, and X-Plane became the defacto standard.  X-Plane was good, too, and I even switched to it before MS ditched the FS team.  But when FS2020 hit the market, I think it must have all but killed X-Plane in one massive sucker punch.  

  14. @BlackRose - Remove it where?  Every time I go into TS, I have to change my display name because it has my old admin tags on it.  I do that by editing the name right in the left pane where all the channels and everyone in the channel is listed. But when you change it that way, it only lasts for that session.  Next session you're back to what it was before.  Obviously at some point, I set my display name to what was appropriate at that time, but for the life of me now, I have no idea where I set it, or where to set it now so that it becomes permanent.  I've looked all through the setting and have yet to find it.  Frustrating.

    [ed] Guess I should change my sig graphic too.  *sheesh*

    [ed, ed]  Changed.

    Happy Birthday Guys.

    Question: did you guys get ripped off at Christmas time?My BDay was on the 20th and my parents told me I would be getting my birthday present on Christmas Day. Yeah right.

    Everyone asks that.  For me, it was never about the presents, but as I got older and wanted to spend time with friends, like they all could on their birthdays, that just wasn't possible.  Christmas Eve is more about spending time with your family, and not so much about going out partying with your friends.  And although times have changed, back when I was a kid, nothing was open on Christmas Eve anyway.  It's more about being lonely than about presents.

     

    Merry Christmas everyone!
