I've been playing CoD4 online for about 2 months now with no problems at all. Well a freind on mine tells me to update a patch so I can play on the new levels.

I install 1.6 and then 1.7 patchs, but when I go to join a server, none of them are avaible.

I keep on clicking refresh, but no servers show up. Period. It connects to the master server too, just no servers show up.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

this is actually quite a common problem experienced by players after updating their game. as far as i know, nobody exactly knows why, as apparently the majority have no problem with the patches. but of coz, that doesn't mean the problems don't exist.

mostly people would just advise you to reinstall the game and patch it only the version you previously played on. but yea, like i say, nobody exactly knows what's wrong and how to deal with this.

I don't think so, whenever you uninstall a game, they should give you an option to erase profile and saved games. Just click "no".

If you have an antivirus see if you have exceptions for it otherwise it will block CoD and it will not show any server. To uninstall the easiest way is to insert the disc and press uninstall.

I know that nothing is blocking it because I played before I installed the patches.

If you do have an antivirus you will have to set an exception for it for every patch.

Its better u don uninstall the game.. Cos u will loose ur multiplayer stats. Before u uninstall u will be asked whether or not ur saved files should be deleted.. Well thats only for the single player.. U will loose all ur multiplayer progress.. And u must start from scratch.. But there is a method how u can uninstall the game without losing ur multiplayer progress.. Just search the method on google..

NO soren91, I was NOT trying to be a smart a$$, I was serious, I have never heard of someone using a torrent client to open ports for a game before. A clever little pseudo-hack.

It should be really easy to do within your firewall program, all you need to know is which ports the game needs open, heck some of the firewall programs have a gui interface that allow you to set levels of security on a per program basis.

But it is interesting that the uTorrent trick actually will work, I always thought that the ports only remained open as long as the client was running, if you shut it down the ports close again. And IF you have the client running, and have an older machine, or an internet connection that isn't so good, well the torrent client will just make your system chug.

Seriously, I do appreciate the reply soren91 !!!

Orrr.... you could just open up the interface for your router and open ports that way. No need for uTorrent quite honestly.

http://www.gametracker.com/search/cod4/US/

Go to this site... it lists all the cod4 games that are being played in each country. I use this site for COD WAW as i cant join games in teh browser.

Just enter the browser (its the ~ button on WAW) and then type in "/connect" and then the IP address of the game you want. Its really easy.

Also try uninstalling COD4 and reinstalling it. Then make sure to install the patchs in the right order. Also check that website i mentioned above for up to the minute server IP address's for COD4 games.

you were able to play before the patches and now you can't so it is the patches. Right? They may be blocked by your anti whatever software. No biggy. Just fix it.

Reinstall - I should get back to playing that myself. Each one since 4 has been a little weaker.

first off, patch the game to 1.7 secondly, punkbuster needs to be installed. navigate to: applications > call of duty 4 > technical support, and run pbsetup.run might need to update punkbuster but that should do it.... pc
