Where do I acquire server files for mw3 to add to my vds ? also how do I run multiple instances of the game on my vds

You'll want to start off by downloading the game with hldsupdatetool.



Then, change to the MW3 folder and start up a server:


Where $port and $maxplayers are your desired values.

This page also provides a little bit of information on configuring the server: http://sledgehammergames.com/blog/view/98

Thanks for the tut John, All worked well right up till I got the Invalid server configuration - insufficient cpu performance 5.7186 ghz for 18 clients. Minimum 9.0000 ghz required. message.

That bogus message pops up sometimes. Try restarting a few times -- usually you can eventually get it to start without it.

I have tried about 20 times, same message..I will try a few more times just for shits n giggles

Still same my friend. no go..

looks like the max slots I can run is 8..that works

If you need to run higher, you might try dabbling with this addon: http://www.itsmods.com/forum/Thread-Rel ... addon.html. Bear in mind, though, that this will likely break with new game releases, so you'll need to keep it up to date. We also do not know if it is legal.

Thanks John, I have looked at that and another. looks like all those are currently not functioning since the last patch. version 1.4 only no one seems to have got anything going with our current patch. Kind of a bummer as I got the vds to try out mw3 on it..8 slots certainly wont be much of a test...not the servers fault..I am certain it will run at least one..perhaps two 18 slots servers without the bs cpu check. Looks like we wont be able to do alot of testing without moving to a larger vds.

We have seen the same message ourselves and it will eventually restart without it, it just takes a lot of restarts sometimes. It seems you got pretty unlucky earlier, but I would recommend restarting some more until it goes.

Honestly, I must have tried it at least 40 times. wearing out my enter button.

Why have they not patched these yet? I'm still waiting for them to release a stable update then I can run a server again. I get that message, and won't go away sometimes until you reboot it 20+ times.

I have seen it take far more than that at times as well. I should note here that it is best to wait a bit between restarts, about a good half minute. Don't try to restart it once every 5-10 seconds. You may have already been doing it that way, but I want to point that out for anyone that may be reading this.

The addon that John is mentioning does indeed work with the latest version of MW3. I would stay away from the plugins, as those tend to be slower to update.

If you do decide to run that addon, which I suggest you do. Be sure to set this in your sv_confg file.

SpecsFix=1
//Disable the CPU/Bandwidth check [0-1]

I have a fair amount of experience with this addon, so if you have any questions let me know.

<@TimeX-NFo|away> You're asking the old dude for help?????
<@Kraze^NFo> Yes

Kraze, how long you been running a MW3? Also, is it a NFO one or personal?
