So I like playing COD 4 online, my version im unsure of (tell you why soon) and I want to update it to 1.7. I downloaded the patch, when its installing a message pops out that says "Setup has detected that you have a digitally distributed version of Call of Duty(R) 4 - Modern Warfare(TM) installed. Please refer to your original vendor for a Multiplayer Patch compatible with your version of the game." What should I do? I really want to update my game, Ive tried 1.6 too.. I get the same message. I did buy the game off steam, And the only soloution ive seen is to "Re install, And Patch backup"
Re install issues: Im not sure if you can re install a downloaded version, I know you can uninstall, But I dont wanna download another 9 gig again T_T
Patch Backup issues: I have no Idea whatsoever patch backup is, And how its done. If Someone could please help me out with everything, it would Be greatly appreciated and many thanks to you.

I wanted 1.7 because I want to join a promod server, Whenever I do it says, Server version is 1.0.

Thanks Blake

update via steam.

How do I do that?
I already have it on Auto update, so when there is one, It automatically does it.
But how do you manually do it? Its got no options...

do u have disk version?

[lolzors a hacker]

go into cod4 main menu take a screenshot
post it here.
Server Version is 1.0 seems dodgy.
Me thinks YOU do have 1.7 but the server version is 1.0
but post a screenshot of the main menu anyway. The one with create a class join game etc.

Nah, I explained In the description it was bough via Steam

[Blubb1337]

Steam should update it automatically I think.

[blakec]

Thats what I thought...

[lolzors a hacker]

yes, but server version is 1.0 that says that the server is runnig patch 1.0 but you are running patch 1.7

[Blubb1337]

Can you just run CoD and tell us your version?

Start CoD, look in the right corner(below).

You already have the LATEST CoD version. Go ingame and search for a server. You can only connect to servers whose have the same version as your client. So the latest(1.7).

I believe most everyone has 1.7, no one should have a problem connecting.

1.7.568 or something like that

1.7.568 or something like that

1.7 is the same as saying 1.7.568 but we don't do it.
I think you got your answer, you're already updated.
