When booting from the homescreen shortcut the installer places, the mod gives an error pop-up saying "Steam must be open" then closes the game

That's odd... I'm unable to reproduce.

I completely removed all client related files, ran the installer through and launched the game fine from the created desktop shortcut. I did not have Steam open. I do have an idea of what it could be.

  1. You need to use the -nosteam argument. This is included in the !start_client.bat file, but not the shortcut. Right-click the shortcut --> Properties --> in in Target add -nosteam at the end after the quote. (e.g. "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Call of Duty - Infinite Warfare" -nosteam)
  • Then relaunch the game using the shortcut. I have a feeling this is the solution.
  1. Make sure Steam is updated to the latest version as well as the latest iw7_ship.exe (can be found in the releases section as I just added it for redundancy). The sha1 checksum for it should be 9de7cb8e04ee250bfd15ad8c7e2b7aeb389e5e60 if you would like to confirm.

You can use the PowerShell command (Get-FileHash -Path "iw7_ship.exe" -Algorithm SHA1).Hash.ToLower() to verify.

  1. Try running the uninstaller and trying again with the latest installer.
