Q: Black Screen / Not responding on startup
</p>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/Dy1LyLI.jpg" alt="blackscreen" class="img-fluid">
<p>
A: To solve this issue, try one of the following solutions
</p>
<ul>
<li>If you have a Nvidia GPU, disable the overlay (see picture). Disable any other overlays as well (Discord, FPS Counters, Recorders, Steam, etc.)</li>
<li>Rightclick iw4x.exe, click Properties, go to the Compatibility tab and enable compatibility mode for Windows 8.</li>
<li>Turn off fullscreen mode by editing /players/iw4x_config.cfg and changing the line that says set r_fullscreen "1" to set r_fullscreen "0" and set r_noborder "0" to set r_noborder "1". Alternatively, run this batch file in your
game folder: <a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/275267435945263104/589988562997608486/fullscreen_0.bat">fullscreen_0.bat</a></li>
<li>Disable DEP. Run this batch file as admin: <a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/275267435945263104/544154785943650334/dep_disabler.bat">dep_disabler.bat</a></li>

Q: Low amount of servers
</p>
<p>
A: To see more servers, try the following solutions
</p>
<ul>
<li>Open the ingame console and check the values for <code>net_serverQueryLimit</code> and <code>net_serverFrames</code></li>
<li>Lower them both, step by step, until the amount of servers rise. (Alternatively, set them to their minimum and increase them one by one until your server amount goes up.)</li>
<li>As a last resort you can try entering the following command into the console while at the main menu /addnode 74.91.119.236</li>

<p>
A: Install DirectX 9.0, you can do so from the pre-packed installer that comes with MW2, It's located at: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2\Redist\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe, simply run the installer and restart your PC to resolve the error.
</p>
<p>
If you don't have the redist folder you can download the installer manually. (Run directx_mar2009_redist.exe extract to a location of your choice then run DXSETUP.exe):

<a class="anchor" id="demoplayback"></a>
Q: Demo playback - Lost connection to host
</p>
<p>
A: Currently, there is no solution to this issue due the demo code in IW4 being experimental and not compatible with laptop based killstreaks. To read more on this issue see the <a href="https://github.com/XLabsProject/iw4x-client/issues/16">github issue report</a> The only workaround is to not use laptop based killstreaks if you plan to playback your gameplay without issue

<a class="anchor" id="steamhours"></a>
Q: Hours played in Steam shows an excessive amount of time
</p>
<p>
A: To fix this issue, try the following solutions
</p>
<ul>
<li>The simplest solution is to exit Steam prior to lauching IW4x. IW4x will see steam is not running and not attempt to launch steam integration. This prevents MW2 hours being recorded.</li>
<li>A second solution is to launch IW4x with the <code>-nosteam</code> parameter. This will disable steam intergration while Steam is open in the background. To add the parameter right click IW4x.exe and select Create Shortcut.
This will create a new file called 'iw4x.exe - Shortcut' right click this new file and select properties. Then in the target field add the -nosteam parameter. Example target field: C:\Games\MW2\iw4x.exe -nosteam</li>
