**UPDATES AS OF JULY 1 2024; updates regarding the BOIII Client, Steam Infinite Warfare and CoD WWII, Steam BO1, MWR H1, and a quick note about Plutonium/clients** NEW EXE FOR THE BOIII CLIENT IS AVAILABLE HERE: www.mediafire.com/file/2mr1435pvjo4ddw/t7x.exe/file **THIS IS JUST AN EXE, NOT A NEW CLIENT** This exe provides some fixes for client/server side exploits that were reported after the shut down last year. Simply drop the new exe into your BO3 directory and run it to launch the BOIII client. As of mid June 2024 - INFINITE WARFARE ON STEAM WORKS AGAIN! Server Fast File error was addressed and you can play the game again! Unfortunately though alike many older steam CoDs, there are cheaters with tools capable of crashing games and sending the host migration packet - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJZxZKaGyLPPYKc.html - so be cautious of that. Steam CoD WWII: As of April 30th, apparently the NA dedicated server issues have been fixed, but there still may be issues. I personally haven't experienced any problems with WWII servers over the past few weeks of playing, but do read this if you're curious: The biggest upcoming issue is with Call of Duty WWII on Steam; not a security risk, but a server issue. According to this Reddit post, CoD WWII's for the North American region are seeing a decline in dedicated servers, meaning for NA players, it may lead to worse connections as the game is seemingly throwing more players into EU Dedicated Servers/lobbies. Check the reddit thread here: www.reddit.com/r/WWII/comments/17gkyt3/well_guys_most_cod_dedicated_servers_shutting_down/ MWR H1 CLIENT HAS BEEN REBRANDED TO 'AURORA'! New Updates for the MWR H1 Mod and potentially IW7 Infinite Warfare coming very soon huge eyes emoji + exploding head emoji - discord link has been updated!: discord.gg/RtHXcWFdEt BO1 Steam - one thing I have been made aware of is an issue with Black Ops 1 on Steam, and that is, your rank getting randomly reset. Ironically enough, this had never happened to me in the years (since 2016) that I had been playing BO1 steam, but it just happened to me the other day. This is what the error looks like - gyazo.com/be801d7e2f36c34e57fcd614c18d8a91 - I don't know what causes it or how to prevent it, but just be aware of it. Lastly; just a quick note that I thought of randomly, but when it comes to playing on clients, be aware that some servers do not allow VPNs. You also have to have a name longer than 3 characters. Some servers will kick you for either of those reasons. Do feel free to run VPNs on non-client versions of the games like steam/bnet if you wish. That's it for now, will continue to keep you all updated as I learn more information throughout the year :) Jan 1 2024 - Quick note regarding Plutonium, after the vid was posted I was made aware that the steam verification check is only needed for server owners. Illegitimate copies of games work for players, however, after everything that happened last year I wouldn’t be surprised if it does become a requirement to actually own the games on steam. I would recommend owning the games on steam/bnet.

If you make this video in 2025 I think that you should talk about how Steam BO2 servers have been backdoored since around last year. You’re extremely unlikely to see hackers or people using RCE in BO2 anymore because Blasts Mods backdoored the servers, almost anyone who uses any sort of cheat is automatically banned as a result of his anti-cheat. Even though it may not seem like it now, BO2 is VERY unsafe to play since he can RAT anyone playing the game online. Activision/Treyarch needs to be made aware of this.
@itsmefranklinblack7 ай бұрын
The fact that the people at SM2 switched games, backpedaled on their "need to own" status, and then got immediately shut down was the biggest bag fumble of that year. Absolutely brutal to see probably the best cod game we could have ever gotten slip through our hands like that. I hope someone out there does it again but properly this time. Really sucks to see it go but they had it coming with trying to advocate for piracy. That in combination with MW2 maps coming to MWIII just meant that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and gave activision all the reason to nuke them.
@Rxqe6 ай бұрын
What happened with sm2 really was tragic. Definitely would've been one of the greatest CoD experiences. I don't know exactly what caused the change of the need to own status when changing from IW4 to H1, but I know that was definitely one of the biggest red flags for them. Even if they stuck on the need to own MWR, I think you make a good point, the MW2 Remastered maps coming to MWIII could've been a good enough reason for it to get hit, but who knows what would've happened. That's always the risk with these kinda games, especially the MW2 Remastered projects that have come and gone, there's always a chance Acti is holding the real MW2R as the ace up their sleeve and can drop it whenever so it would force them to shut projects down.

I've got COD4 from the old disc copy I got, but I fancied a futuristic COD to substitute Titanfall 2 for while I'm offline, and IW fits perfectly with both my desire for exo COD and budget

Okay, so I'm a little stupid, and some of this stuff went over my head. While I think I got most of it, i do have some questions just to clear things up: So, for context: I'm mainly just getting WaW, BO1, and BO2 for some classic zombies solo or with just one, maybe 2 friend(s) if we do go multi-player it'll probably still just be us 2-3. Just to relive some old school nostalgia 1. RCE exploits shouldn't affect me/us as we will be in private servers and not with any randoms, correct? 2. If 1 is correct, then it shouldn't matter if we are running straight steam ver or a client ver, right? Along with that, even if we are playing privately, would you still recommend playing cliented versions? 3. Outside of the community patch, would you still recommend playing BO3 with a client? again, keeping the private lobby in mind. (This one isn't as likely for me/us to play, but it's not off the table) From what i understand, I/we should be safe as long as I/we remain in private lobbies and not interacting with anyone regardless if we are playing the raw steam ver or cliented ver, but like I said, I just wanted to clear all that up before I eventually dive and and end up getting my computer bricked or worse from malware. Either way, thanks for the video. It definitely helped even if some of it whizzed passed me

Just use the clients. they're easy to set up and you can uncap your fps, unlock all, unlocked fov, etc
@Rxqe4 ай бұрын
Ideally yes, RCEs shouldn't affect you and your friends if you guys are playing together on steam in your own private match. Unless you or your friend have some unwanted attention from someone who would want to go out of their way to harm. I personally would recommend playing on the clients regardless as they do provide the most up to date protections; plus you can uncap fov/fps, provide unlock all, etc. Clients are just better for protection/customization. You could play solo, or if friends join, you guys could create a server and play (although I personally don't know how to set a server up, I think you could join off each other using radmin vpn - host would give their ip to the friends, friends would type /connect insertiphere into the console and can connect that way). For BO3, yes I would highly recommend the BOIII client. If you're going to play steam, you definitely should be using the community patch even in a private lobby as it not only fixes the FPS problem with steam BO3, but also provides security. You and your friends would all need to be running the T7 patch, enter a custom made password in that box, and then join off each other. That's just for steam, BOIII client does not need T7 patch. Hope this helps!

Another great video Mike. Two quick questions: (1) What exactly changed between this Everything you need to know and the 2023 one. (2) I had decided to mod the game to replace the SAS announcer (Wallcroft) with the MW2 2009 Militia Announcer and the spawn theme with the COD4 Opfor. Do this make the game any better? P.S. as of lately, I did play a lot of IW5 Original MW3. No safety issues so thanks Mike.

what changed from 2023 to 2024 is quite literally what this video is in its entirety, and if you modded the files to what you want then I would guess it makes it better? idk I haven't done that, so if it makes your personal experience better then all the power to ya

Just so there is no doubt, which is the best and safest way to play Zombies singleplayer and with friends? Is it the steam version of bo3 or the boiii client? Does the boiii client support playing custom zombies with friends?
@Rxqe7 ай бұрын
BOIII client does support custom zombies with friends tmk, but I'm not 100% sure how to set up a server. What you could do if you decided to use BOIII, is use radmin for everyone to connect to each other. That would be the safest way with friends. However, steam BO3 with the T7 patch would be the easier way to go about it with less hoops to jump through in getting BOIII set up. For T7 community patch, if say you're hosting a lobby, you can set a password in the T7 patch and tick the friends only box. Then have all your friends get the T7 patch, enter that password in their patch, and then join you to be the absolute safest. So really both are good options, Steam with T7 may just be easier to set up. Singleplayer offline is fine regardless of however you wanna go about it, but if you're on steam, you may as well run the T7 patch

I watched the relevant parts of the video. Glad the WaW CD keys are working again! That said, I want to be absolutely certain that the game won't allow hackers in the second I open the game. I don't really play multiplayer, and I often do the other two modes in singleplayer. I used Plutonium at one point, but removed it soon after since I learned about a security breach they had at one point. Is singleplayer still safe without it, or should I just uninstall and pray the devs get it together?

refer back to the beginning of the video and the ghosts/aw section of the video. exploits are a possibility, but due to the smaller playerbase, I honestly doubt anything would happen. same for BO3, refer back to that section of the video. you SHOULD absolutely be running the T7 patch if you want to play BO3 steam, otherwise, I would highly recommend just playing the boiii client.
