1. Download The Dedicated Server Update Tool: HERE

2. Put it in your IW4 Location and run dsut.exe before you continue so you can download the relevant files.

--> Normally C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\a popular FPS series IW4\

3. Go into the \main\ folder and create a new file called "server.cfg"

4. Open up server.cfg with notepad. Copy all of the code from this page (ctrl + A , ctrl +C) HERE, and paste it on your server.cfg file that you just opened up.


--> Or, if you want to skip step 3 and 4, just download this server.cfg.
--> Don't forget to change the map rotation
--> Make sure you have the DLC maps or remove them from the rotation

5. Rename iw4m.dat to iw4m.exe

6. Create a shortcut of iw4m.exe and right click the shortcut, select properties and paste this line at the end of the target line.

CODE:
you can add -console if you like the traditional console window. Keep in mind that there might be some minor issues while using -console


7. Port forward any port you put in "+set net_port <port>"

--> 28960 is the default
--> Make sure you port forward on the computer/server as well as on the router or gateway
--> Make sure to portforward with both UDP and TCP or else you will have problems






8. Run the shortcut and away you go!

Check and see if you server made it on list by visiting here: fourdeltaone.iw4msl

Cant connect to your own server? Cant see it in the browser list?

--> To connect you will need to goto console and type ''connect <your local ip : port>" <--
without a space between then hit enter.
--> An example would be "connect 192.168.2.6:28961"
--> 127.0.0.1 will not work.
