lol, I can tell this is gonna be a problem xD And while I wish I could play in German, I do not. So I'm wondering why exactly it's yelling at me in german.. Unless my computer has turned into the Gishtapo... in which case I need to do what it says and remain calm.. or else it slaps me a lot.

wish me luck...

(Edit) I've posted on GGC website and hopefully I'll get an answer from them. They are all German, and when I searched the error as a whole, it's the only site that came up xD So I'm banking on the fact that most Germans understand english since it's a simplified German really.  I tried to read their posts but I'm just awfull at german.. Speaking of, anyone know where I can torrent Rossetta Stone in German? lol

What does it mean and how do i get rid of it? Much appreciated! Tschüs SpiderGat

HI Rumshifter,

ok problem is that GGC recently added an MD5 check (i hope you what this means) for all streaming server who ask for the german language files. Its against modifying the game files. But maybe its a bug, maybe they made an mistake, we dont know! Fact is, that the MD5 Checks are asking everyone, also those with other language versions of cod4, for the german language files (localized_german_iw00.iwd). Of Course we, including me, dont have this files... so i kicks us.
ONly thing u can do is waiting for a fix or playing at non GGC streamed server or if you are an admin for yourself disable md5 checks on your server...

well at the end i want to say sorry for my horrible grammar and writing. I hope you did understand what i wanted to say....

So basically what this guy is saying, is that now the streaming servers are asking us for files that none of us have... And only way to temp fix it is to Disable the MD5 tool check.. which is how you catch most of the hackers.. so yeah, not fun,l ol.

OR find someone who plays the game in german, and just copy their localized_german iwd files into your main folder. Hopefully as you play the game in english, it should ignore them.

Yes, even tho GGC encourages server admins from around the world to stream with them, yesterday they updated their md5 checks to include the German language iwds. Now that is great for the people that own the German version of the game, but not the rest of us. We have done a "fix" on our servers until GGC figure out how to make their md5 checks work with the rest of us, so the |EAS| servers should be safe and free of missing iwd kicks. :)
