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

ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteIf 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
