Call of Duty 4 New Maps Error

Ok, I got the patch already.

I already told it to install it in the Macintosh HD. Now It's asking me which one I want to update: COD 4 MODERN WARFARE, OR COD4 MODERN WARFARE MULTIPLAYER.

Which one do I choose??

----

KK, I was too nervous, so I picked multiplayer. Let's see what happens. *fingers crossed*
 
DAMMIT :mad:

It didn't work!!:mad::mad::mad:

GAH!

I got this error:

ERROR

mp_broadcast.ff is different from the server.
 
Oh, and I checked, and I have the same EXACT files as you.......... :confused::(

what do you suggest?
 
you can choose both of them to update at the same time just hit other again and choose both apps. make sure they are both 1.7

i hope this works.

I couldn't get them to update at the same time, but updated one after the other.

They are both 1.7 now.......... and it still DOESN'T work!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg :(

What should I do?? Should you send me the files..?
 
the files are too big for them to go through my email. i dont get why they dont work......


my email only send 10 MB files these look to be 40 - 50 MB
 
It works just fine now.

I can't believe it was because of somestupid permissions! Aaagh and I erased my profile!!!

LOL, but i got it fixed now.

Thank you, man. You rock.
 
What permissions were needed to be fixed?

I am coming across pretty much the same problem but the mismatch is occurring in the "Code_post_gfx_mp.ff" file.

For now I have only been playing at 1.5, but want to play on the 1.7 servers since there are a lot more there.
 
It's simple

Thanks for the people from this thread for finding it out (I just tried it, and it works, but it might be difficult to discover if you're not really into permissions etc.).

If you have this problem, go to the folder /Applications/Games/Call\ of\ Duty\ 4/Call\ of\ Duty\ 4\ Data/zone/english. If you do this in the Finder, you will see a few black icons there. If you do "Get Info", you'll see that they cannot be read by everyone, and that your account is missing from the list. Change it so that everyone can read them and you're done. You can also do this from the terminal. Go to the same directory, make yourself administrator and type "sudo chmod +rx *" (or just the names of the black files).

I think the problem is that we installed the game under our own account, using drag&drop, and then ran the updater as administrator. That makes that the new files are inaccessible. The above procedure fixes that.

This is really frustrating.

I just downloaded the 1.7 patch but cannot play on the new maps!

Whenever I try to play on Creek, Broadcast, or Chinatown, I get an error. For example, if i try to play on creek, I get this:

mp_creek.ff is different from server

Is anyone else getting this????

Please help me :(

Ok listen to this guy: TGV. :D If you guys don't get this, it's simple. Just go and find your call of duty data folder.
2. go to folder zone then english.
3. Find all the maps that have a black icon next to it.
4. Right click and get info.
5. scroll to the bottom, if you're administrator, you don't need to do this. Click the lock and fill the out the password form.
6. At the bottom there will be another picture that looks like one of the picture.
7. It would show that the content "Everyone" would be set to no one could view it. Change it to Read Only and it would work. Do this for every black icon map
 
Grr
