The IW4X Client does not require you to register on a forum so getting started is pretty easy. The Easiest Method: If you don't have a copy of MW2, there is an All-In-One package that contains the game files, the DLCs and the IW4x client files.
Download the All-In-One DOWNLOAD (MediaFire Mirror) (MediaFire Mirror#2) (Torrent Mirror)
Extract all the contents from the zip to a folder like C:GamesIW4X
Click iw4x-updater.exe to check for updates and click the green Play button to launch the game.
That's it your done. The Almost As Easy Method:
Mac Windows Download
If you own the game on Steam, it is suggested that you copy and paste your game files to a new location before adding the IW4x files. This way, you can still play the Steam version and have IW4x without any issues.
Download the IW4x Updater and place it in your game folder
Click iw4x-updater.exe and it will download the IW4x client files plus the extra IW4x exclusive DLCs. If you need the standard Steam DLCs, get the all in one download above.
Launch the game by pressing the green Play button on the bottom right corner or the updater.
That's it your done.
Notes If you are an advanced user and are interested in setting up your own server, see the instructions HERE.
If you get a 0xc000007b and/or a d3dx0_40.dll, open the Redist folder and run vc_redist.exe then go to your Directx folder and scroll down until you see DXSETUP.exe and run it. If you don't have this folder, you need to download the DirectX updater from Microsoft.
If you have a black screen issue, try this BlackScreenFix.bat file and run it on your game folder. (You only need to run that once and should save on your game config until you delete the players folder.)
If you get a Fatal Error, read the following note.
Custom Maps (Optional)
Iw4x Mac Download Software
You can get custom maps HERE. (Depends on your internet you can download splits or the FULL one) Download & extract the zip and create a folder called usermaps on your IW4x game folder.
IW4x is an innovative Modern Warfare 2 client released in 2017. This client finally moves the modded IW4 movement forward. After years of stale “copy and paste” projects which were essentially poor imitations of NTAuthority’s aIW/4D1 release, IW4x has done something new.
Not Simply Another Copy & Paste Client
What are the new things? Instead of a single master-server hosted by the development team, it is now a decentralized network comprised of nodes scattered around the globe. This will prevent legal actions being taken to shut the back-end down as other similar projects have in the past. The back-end is powered by a peer-to-peer architecture preventing DDOS attacks and a more stable playing experience.
The code has been mostly rewritten, and is not just another copy and paste client. Why is this important? It means the developers understand the source code and how it functions. They didn’t merely compile a code that was leaked on the internet. With a greater understanding of the code, they have been able to add back game mechanics and port maps that have never been seen before on Steam or other clients. Additionally, the rewrite of the code base removes many of the exploits that existed in the past. The majority of the old cheats and hacks no longer work on this version of the MW2 game. There is an anti-cheat system in place as well. The incompatibility of past hack and the active detection of new hacks will dramatically cut down the amount of cheating you find on the servers.
“IW4x allows you to set up your own dedicated servers with modifications for Modern Warfare 2 on top of a decentralized network. Modifications are not restricted to just scripting the client in the way you like but also introducing old new game-play mechanics like leaning and we also are working on supporting new maps that haven’t been accessible to the world of Modern Warfare 2… until now.”
Other listed features include:
no matchmaking, but dedicated and listen servers
a fully offline playable LAN mode, including a server browser
a theater mode
a friend system
new weapons
custom maps
compatible with most cine mods
beta mod tool
Client Problems
There are a couple of issues with the client. Full screen recording using OBS and other popular screen recording software does not work. This is caused by the anti-cheat protections. While you can record in windows mode, some players report input lag and an overall lackluster playing experience. Second, the client simply won’t work for some players. This could be caused by those using pirated version of the game (although Steam owners have reported issues as well) or due to the still relatively new stages of development.
