H2: Mod

Installation

NOTE: Cracked/Pirated versions of the game are NOT compatible with this mod, if you run such a version and have issues/crashes when running the client read Step 2.

1. Download the latest release or develop build

2. Drop the file in your Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered installation folder.
   If you don't have the game installed (or own a cracked/pirated copy of it) you can download it for free from the official Battle.Net servers using Battle.Net Installer and executing this command:

   .\bnetinstaller.exe --prod lazr --uid lazarus --lang enUS --dir "YOUR INSTALL PATH"
   

   Make sure to replace "YOUR INSTALL PATH" with an actual installation path of your choice.

3. Run h2-mod.exe and make sure you press "YES" when asked whether to install updates.

Common issues

• If you get crashes that show errors like "Create2DTexture(...) failed ..." or "IDXGISwapChain::Present failed: ..." when loading certain maps try:
  • Disabling shader preloading
  • Lowering graphics settings
  • Freeing up RAM (close programs)
  • Updating your GPU drivers

Compile from source

• Clone the Git repo. Do NOT download it as ZIP, that won't work.

• Update the submodules and run premake5 vs2019 or simply use the delivered generate.bat.

• Build via solution file in build\h2-mod.sln.

  Premake arguments

  Argument	Description
  --copy-to=PATH	Optional, copy the EXE to a custom folder after build, define the path here if wanted.
  --dev-build	Enable development builds of the client.
