Hi there, been playing Mw2 absolutely fine since release day and encountered my first error today. I loaded up my computer as per usual and tried to load mw2 up shortly after. An error popped up saying "could not load localization.txt make sure Modern Warfare 2 is run from the correct folder".

I have tried to verify the games integrity and cache. This did not work. I am currently reinstalling Mw2 to see if I have any luck. Has anyone else had this issue and know of a fix at all?

Will get back to you if this works.

Update: I have reininstalled COD. I no longer get this error anymore but the game fails to launch. I try to launch single player and a message pops up saying the game is currently unavailable and i try to launch multiplayer but i get no error message. Just the usual message saying your game is about to launch, this the disappears without the game launching... Really stuck on what to do here people. Would really appreciate some help.

install the game from cd in diffrent folder from the one it is in now.
copy the new localitzation.txt into the one it has the error.
