MW3 Files different from server error

Alright as many of you may already know if you are playing MW3 on the Pc and recently purchased the DLC there are some errors going around that say "Files different from server" this is due to an update server with the MW3 PC servers. I have found a fix regarding this and this should help solve any issues.
  • Select My computer
  • Select the hard drive the game is on
  • Select Program Files
  • Then Slect the Steam Folder
  • From here move the Userdata folder to the desktop
  • Then have the customer go to the steam client
  • Right click the MW3 Multiplayer .exe and select properties
  • Select the Local Files Tab
  • Then select the Verify Integrity of Game Cache option


After it completes ensure that the Userdata folder has repopulated and then have them try to recreate the error

  2. This is a workaround I wrote for those with the DLC to rename certain files if you want to play non-dlc maps and rename them back to the original names to play the DLC. Run it before you start the game to disable (or enable) the DLC.

    If you want to create a batch file, copy the text below into Notepad, save it as a batch file (i.e. DLCFIX.BAT). [ Make sure you change the Save As Type to All Files before saving.] NOTE THAT IF YOU USE A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH, YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THE LINES AS STATED IN THE CODE BELOW.

    Put the batch file in "main" directory of the MW3 steam folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 3\main). Then create a shortcut to the batch file (put the shortcut where it's convenient - I do my desktop).

    Run the file once and it will disable the DLC, run it again and it reenables it. There will be a message telling you which happened. Worked great for me!

    Copy everything below to the batch file

    echo off
    cls
    IF EXIST 42695.sdm.bak goto enable
    IF EXIST 42695.sdm goto disable

    :enable
    rename 42695.sdm.bak 42695.sdm
    rename iw_25.iwd.bak iw_25.iwd
    rename iw_26.iwd.bak iw_26.iwd
    REM CHANGE THE LANGUAGE FROM ENGLISH TO YOUR LANGUAGE IF NECESSARY ON THE NEXT 2 LINES
    rename localized_english_iw06.iwd.bak localized_english_iw06.iwd
    rename localized_english_iw07.iwd.bak localized_english_iw07.iwd
    echo DLC Enabled!
    goto banner

    :disable
    rename 42695.sdm 42695.sdm.bak
    rename iw_25.iwd iw_25.iwd.bak
    rename iw_26.iwd iw_26.iwd.bak
    REM CHANGE THE LANGUAGE FROM ENGLISH TO YOUR LANGUAGE IF NECESSARY ON THE NEXT 2 LINES
    rename localized_english_iw06.iwd localized_english_iw06.iwd.bak
    rename localized_english_iw07.iwd localized_english_iw07.iwd.bak
    echo DLC Disabled!
    goto banner
