This page covers common issues and questions specific to individual game clients. For launcher-related issues, see the Launcher FAQ.

​
General Game Issues

There are several common causes:
  1. Missing Dependencies - Install the required redistributables first
  2. Windows Security Settings - In Windows Security settings, go to App & browser control → Exploit protection settings and turn off “Force randomization for images”. Then, go to Device security → Core isolation details and turn off “Memory integrity”. Restart your PC after making these changes. If the game still doesn’t launch, try running the game’s executable as administrator (right-click → Run as administrator).
  3. Steam Required - Some games require Steam to be running (you don’t need to own the game, just have Steam open)
  4. Corrupt Files - Verify your game files in the launcher
Some games require Steam to be open, even if you downloaded them through the CB Launcher. You don’t need to own the game on Steam - just have the Steam application running in the background. You can also try adding -nosteam to the game’s launch properties, though this doesn’t work for all games.
For most clients (except Plutonium which requires an account), open the console using the tilde (~) key and type:
/name yourname

​
HMW (HorizonMW)

You may need to disable the CB Extension if you’re still experiencing crashes. Open HMW game settings in the launcher and enable “Disable CB Extension”.
Use the “Unlock All” button in the launcher on the HMW page. This feature was recently fixed.
Delete config_mp.cfg from your players2 folder. When you load back up, you’ll need to redo your settings.Then, make sure you keep “Fill remaining memory” turned off. This can be found in Options → Graphics.

​
IW7-Mod (Infinite Warfare)

You need to create a class first:
  1. Click “Create Class”
  2. Choose one of the rig types
  3. Create your class
  4. The server browser will then unlock
Try verifying your game files in the launcher. This error typically indicates corrupted or missing files.
Make sure Steam is open when launching the game.
The client is downloading required files in the background. This may not appear to be progressing, but please wait and the game will launch once the update completes.
Open the console using the tilde (~) key and enter:
map_start_fix 1

​
IW6x (Ghosts)

This is a known issue. Execute the vid_restart command in the console.

​
Playing with Friends

Due to these clients being separated from Steam’s infrastructure, you can’t add friends the traditional way. Instead, you need to use a VPN solution like Radmin VPN or port forward.Full guide available at: Private Match Guide
Make sure you’ve properly configured port forwarding or are using a VPN solution like Radmin VPN. See the Private Match Guide for setup instructions.
