Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Forum

After much anticipation i got the multiplayer version on steam to work. It took 3 reboots an d 3 days of waiting for patches (slow school internet) i finally got it to work. just install it with steam and it should do all the work on its own.

I keep getting an error report which has to shut it down on singleplayer, multiplayer works fine.

Have you done a check of the local game files yet? (Right click the game, go to Properties, Local Files and then select 'Verify integrity of game cache'.)

Well I was atleast able to load a level and play all the way through but the the error saying iwsp.exe failed or something.

I don't use my schools downloads...
he he he... 😉

Sarcasm is fun, but you are seriously lucky to get this game to run at all on any form of Wine!?!

What are your system specs?

Dude, I installed steam, then installed MW2 into the same bottle. I used the DVD's to install and I have not had a problem getting it up and running. I am running Kmint 9 x64.
My system specs:
ASUS P5N-D
Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo (3.0ghz)
OCZ RAM 4Gb 800mghz DDR2
Nvidia 8800GT Zotac AMP OC'ed edition
7200rpm hdd's

After playing a few matches the game starts to lag, perhaps a memory leak or something?

it doesn't work anymore, lolz.

We have confirmed that a number of recent bugs in Steam games are due to changes in the in-game community overlay DLL. For some games, disabling the in-game community feature via Steam's settings is good enough to fix the problem. For other games, that's not enough.

For those, you can go into the Wine Configuration (winecfg) tool via Manage Bottles -> select bottle with Steam -> Control Panel. On winecfg's Applications tab, click Add Application. Select the executable of the Steam game that's having the problem (or just type its filename, like foobar.exe) and click Open. Select the Libraries tab of winecfg. Type GameOverlayRenderer in the "New override for library" edit field, click the Add button, click the Edit button, select Disable, click OK, and click OK. That prevents the in-game community overlay from even being loaded for that game.

If you don't use the in-game community, you might find it simpler to just disable it for the whole bottle. To do that, just skip the above steps involving the Applications tab of winecfg. Just leave it with Default Settings selected, which is how it starts, and go straight to the Libraries tab and proceed from there.
