Thanks for the in-depth guide Dan, I appreciate (read: needed) it.

 

I definitely wasn't trusting the advice I found after googling it which simply said 'copy, paste, patch, done.'

 

EDIT: After doing everything Dan did Vista users need to copy the contents of this folder C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\ and replace the contents of the 1.7 folder (right next to it) with them in order to keep your profile/preferences/controls/ etc.

i really dont like the idea to waste 5-6 GB drive for too cod4 installations.

Do we plan to change 1.6 servers to 1.7 soon? And if not why is the scrim server not 1.6?

[killzone]

yeah i vote to move the servers up to 1.7, though we might need reserved slots in the servers (if cod4 has them) so we can get in if its full

[Loki]

The scrim server is 1.7 because of the competition rules.

[Mobby]

and why istn normal server 1.7?

 

there we can fight against much more people and clans and so

nice tutorial Dan ...

 

 

for my self I using multi patcher like ET style so i can switch between all servers version (only 49MB) I didn't test it yet cos still playing on 1.6 and my dvd installation is already 1.6. but since we had little 1.7 server finally I can test it.

 

for update I'll suggest to big mama and all of you, when MW2 is out, that we update the tdm server to 1.7, and let players choose between join new game or stay on cod4 but with latest update 1.7

 

 

edit: Why this topic is in scrim section ... since it's tutorial better put it in FAQ & tutorial section for cod.

[Dan]

Can someone move it into the FAQ and Tutorial Section?

Sorry; we're unable to see actual screen shots describing as to patch setup instead an "Upload and Earn $$$" advertisement...
