Is there a little tutorial for COD4 QL?

Hello,

I downloaded COD4 Quick Launcher to try to join games with some friends and I'm a little rusty on how to use this. Do I have to find the IP addresses of the games I'd like to join and then plug them in? Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for using our little app. Smile

Unfortunately there is no tutorial available, however a brief introduction is here:

You need to manually enter servername and IP. If you don't know the IP you can use the search tool. Alternatively from game-monitor you can press the play button

and from there save that server to one of the 10 slots.

Are you able to join from the main list ?
If you haven't deleted it, "HPH Norway" server should be the first server on your list.

I haven't been able to reproduce the bug myself (running Win7 64-bit with or without UAC)

Great that you found out the cause of that problem, good job Smile

To your next issue, is there any specific server that has the problem or all of them ? Is COD4 displaying any message or just main screen ?

Also make sure URL launcher displays the right IP address before you join (where you also can insert password and press the big play button)

Well, it doesn't seem like I'm getting any closer to fixing my problem and now it appears to be worse! I uninstalled and re-installed cod4quicklauncher and now, it appears that my favorites won't connect anymore. Especially 69.28.220.229 which I was rather fond of. It continually gives me the "server is for low ping players only" error, in fact, on every IP I input now except for the HPG Norway which is default. I never had any problem connecting before. I also right clicked on each of the servers which gives me ping times and the 69.28.220.229 is giving me a 69 ping...doesn't seem too high does it? The HPG Norway gives me a ping over 200 and it connects!? As for trying to connect through the sever webpage, the old IW3.exe appears to be missing again and there appears to be no way to tell cod4quicklauncher where to look...

Hi again dart451 Smile

It doesn't make any sense to me that HPH Norway works and not the others because its just a server like the others (nothing special done)...

Are you using Vista or Win7 with UAC enabled ?
Make sure to give COD4QL admin rights to run.

About the webpage problem...
You could check the config files manually.
Check in your COD4QL installation folder and open in notepad conf.ini
Under path you can double check the correct path to your iw3mp.exe

IF you have UAC enabled you need to check in something like:
C:\Users\dart415\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\COD4 Quick Launcher\conf.ini
Make sure you see hidden files and folders

Hello again,

I'm using Win7(64) and I had my UAC set at Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer, not when I make changes. I have since then turned it completely off and it doesn't make any difference. Now even HPH Norway gives me the low ping error. I also started COD4QL using Admin rights...no difference.

On the website now, it doesn't give me the error anymore however, it opens up COD4 but does not connect to the server (any server) through the website.

I looked at the config file and there does not seem to be a path at all...is there a way I might send you a screen capture of mine?

So it turns out dart451 finally solved the issues by himself. A complete uninstall and re-install of COD4QL solved most of it Smile
