Posted June 5, 200817 yr Ok so those of us that got COD4 via steam have been screwed for weeks on end trying to get play after a patch. They take their time getting a steam patch out and the normal patches do not work. I thought there had to be something small so I went in search of a way to edit your game to allow a normal patch to work with STEAM....I have found it! UPDATE: I have confirmed this DOES work. I can now play on all the 1.6 servers with new maps even though the new steam patch hasnt been released yet. Get into the your computer registry (via regedit) and search for "Digital Distribution" which should be located in HKLM\Software\Activision\Call Of Duty 4 (x64 HKLM/Software/Wow6432Node\Activision \Call of Duty 4) and change it to "Not Digital Distribution" and then run the downloaded patch installer. After the install finished I changed the "Not Digital Distribution" back and it all works great. note: play with your registry at your own peril!
