IW4L Mobile for Windows
=======================

Free, non-commercial multiplayer client for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
(2009), using the game files from your own copy on Steam.

HOW TO PLAY
1. Install Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) in Steam, if it is not
   installed yet.
2. Unzip this folder anywhere (for example Documents or Desktop).
3. Double-click "IW4L Mobile.exe".
4. The first time, choose your Modern Warfare 2 folder (the one that
   contains "main" and "zone", usually
   ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2). If Steam has
   it, the folder window already opens there: just click OK.

IW4L Mobile only uses the original Modern Warfare 2 files: other games and
mods (such as IW4x) in or next to that folder are ignored, and nothing is
written into it. To choose another folder later, delete game-folder.txt in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\IW4L Mobile.

"WINDOWS PROTECTED YOUR PC"
This version is not yet signed with a Windows code-signing certificate, so
Windows SmartScreen may warn you the first time. Click "More info", then
"Run anyway".

YOUR DATA
IW4L Mobile does not ask for your Steam password, creates no account and
collects no data. Settings and progress are stored on this PC in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\IW4L Mobile, so they are kept when you replace this folder
with a newer version.

REQUIREMENTS
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a DirectX 12 or Vulkan capable graphics card, and
your own Steam copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009).

IW4L Mobile is based on the open-source IW4L game runtime (Apache License 2.0,
