Re: FIX for DLC files problem - Thanks to TheTruthHurts on steam forums

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 21 May 2012 21:57:28 GMT

To keep things simple.....

MapModNews created one ZiP file with ALL you need for properly disabling the 1st Modern Warfare 3 DLC files; so you can join regular lobbies (non-DLC players).

The MW3-DLC-1-Deactivator.zip file offers you two choices :

Creating a Deactivator Desktop Short Cut to disable the DLC, and run it again to re-enable or using the INGAME-MW3-DLC1-Deactivator.

Link to file : MW3-DLC-1-Deactivator - The FIX for the PC MW3 DLC files problem.

The above .zip file contains the MW3-DLC-1-Deactivator created by Cheat-Free and INGAME-MW3-DLC1-Deactivator created by Assimaschine. Plus README file for how to.

Any problems or errors send me a PM.

Sounds like artifacts...

Is your video-card overheating ? Make sure there is no dust in your PC.

Try playing on lowest video setting to see if it goes away because of less stress.

Re: 5 More Prestiges? Really?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:10:26 GMT

Maybe they have a different perception...

The game is great and they just added a little bonus; just for those who love prestige.

They think they are nice people and great game developers.

They really don't care about the money. Making a great game is all they are interested in...

And idd, now that the PC got the 5 "extra" prestiges first... they hope we don't mind that PC's first DLC will arrive mid April.

( 2nd mid July and the last one AFTER the next CoD title is released, that's mid November or even December.)

But please buy the DLC.

All about the PC version of Modern Warfare 3 you can find here.

Re: what did the new patch do?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:50:40 GMT

Wait ?

Why do you think we don't get a change log anymore...

So nobody can track how many errors got "hot fixed"; if any. ( Or created by patch)

No Log, No errors.

Same goes for: No comments, No Errors.

And:

No PC DLC shedule and nobody gets to know, up front, that the PC version gets its FIRST DLC in April...

Re: Host tools?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:37:19 GMT

Kicking, banning and voting.... We just don't get that many choices anymore.

Plus... Did they fix IWNEt yet ??? Nope.

All is far to complicated for them to fix and they use the " we know best how to enjoy this great PC game we made. And our game, our rules " attitude....

So it's waiting 6 more weeks till next VAC ban wave...

Re: Time and Date for "Elite PC" and DLC's

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:27:26 GMT

Set of weird questions...

1. PC doesn't get a full working ELITE. Never !

2. PC gets a mappack with the maps from Elite DLC 1&2. Must be April before they can release it because we are the last ones to get it; don't see how they can release it sooner.

3. Prestige Hacking allowed ? What do you think ? Ha-ck-ing.. ???

Re: Why no infected mode for pc?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:42:49 GMT

We get some DLC in April. Be happy with that.

But the CoD train is already moving on... So you can start hoping again.

New installment in the Call of Duty franchise

Re: Did PC even get the patch?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:02:09 GMT

Anyone loved the new FoV slider ?

Solutions for MW3 errors, freezes, crashes and install problems.

Re: Could It Get Any Worse?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:54:28 GMT

Huhhh ? Which dedi servers ?

Just acting out the MW3 "patch developers" the day after patch release.

Re: Wheres the love!?!?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:49:56 GMT

Think one thing you said is wrong..

Xbox just got their first Elite Premium DLC.

(PS3 Elite Premium didn't because they have to wait. How fair is that ?)

But for the PC it's an even longer wait...

We have to wait till 2 DLC's are presented to Xbox Elite Premium, then we have to wait till the 2 in 1 DLC is released on Xbox Live and then we have to wait because we have to...

Makes it end of March when we get the first 2 in 1 DLC.

1,2,3... That's 2 more months.

Today, we are striking against US censorship

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:49:55 GMT

Off course mapmodnews.com is joining the largest online protest in history.

Why? Watch this video http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa

The video above discusses the Senate version of the House's Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). In the Senate the bill is called the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA). SOPA has gotten more attention than PIPA because it was moving faster in the legislative process. But PIPA is just as dangerous, and now it is moving faster.

PIPA would give the government new powers to block Americans' access websites that corporations don't like. The bill lets corporations and the US government censor entire websites and cut sites off from advertising, payments and donations.

This legislation will stifle free speech and innovation, and even threaten popular web services like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook.

The bill is scheduled for a test vote in the Senate on Jan. 24th: We need to act now to let US lawmakers know just how terrible it is.

So downloading the MW3 FoV changer isn't possible because of the BLACKOUT protest.

Re: Very frustrated with crashes

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 07:54:07 GMT

Out of memory.... but you have enough.

You never played MW3 SP or MP without crashes ?

You can try this :

Set the texture quality to automatic.

Download driver sweeper and delete gpu and audio drivers. Get new drivers. Use cc cleaner to remove files and fix register errors.

For XP
Right click on the desktop and choose "Preferences"
Select the "Options" tab
Click on the "Advanced" button
Choose the "Troubleshooting" tab
Lower the "Hardware acceleration" bar to "None"
Untick the selection box for "Activate combine writing"
Press "OK" and restart the computer

What the process is doing after this; is that DXDIAG is setting the DXDIAG settings to null.
Now do the same process again as told above, all the 7 steps.

When you have restarted the computer for the second time, the problem can be solved..

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:46:37 GMT

Valve did speak with Agentrev directly on Steam forum.

FoV Changer works the same way as the Widescreen fixer; and that one gets used for a lot of Valve's games.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:38:09 GMT

get your money back.

Re: Very frustrated with crashes

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:37:09 GMT

Removed your sound card and tried the onboard sound option ?

Or in Steam Games Library/right-click game/Properties/General/Set Launch Options/ put in -dx9 and that will make the game run in a more-compatible DirectX 9 mode. ??

Re: iw5mp_ceg.exe Error

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:31:26 GMT

iw5mp_ceg.exe...

_ceg ?? Needs to be iw5mp.exe

Are you using the cracked version ?

Re: About the PC version of MW3

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 00:51:13 GMT

It's funny to read that some think cheating has always been a part of the CoD online experience... But it wasn't.

The more they talked about how they now could stop cheating from happening; the worse the problem became. Not only we had to deal with more cheaters but also all anti-cheat/piracy implementations meant more errors.

Why don't they ban cheaters on the moment altered files or settings are detected?

Why must players wait one month till a pestering cheater gets banned ?

And please stop with those scheduled big number bans. It's not about the number of cheaters banned; it's about the number of cheaters spoiling games at this very moment.

At least Punkbuster did what the name says.

Cheater came in... and few minutes later the cheater got auto kicked from server. Just because files and settings didn't match. Problem gone and all happy.
