While trying to launch "Call of Duty Modern Warfare", it halts midway with the setup displaying "Installing shaders .This could take time and might consume a lot of bandwidth".

  1. This solution is applicable for CCBoot and iCafeCloud users.
  2. Suppose you have multiple types of GPUs with multiple hardware profiles.

  1. Create a symlink folder C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Call of Duty Modern Warfare on the server.
  2.  Add this text on General settings, Run Batch Command at Client (Figure 1 & 2).

  • CALL OF DUTY, MODERN WARFARE

rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Call of Duty Modern Warfare"
md "\\server\iCafeCloudShare\callofdutywarzone\%computername%\"
mklink /d  "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Call of Duty Modern Warfare" "\\server\iCafeCloudShare\callofdutywarzone\%computername%\"

  • CALL OF DUTY, MODERN WARFARE 2

rmdir /s /q "F:\Program Files (x86)\Call of Duty\_retail_\cod23\shadercache"
md "\\ServerIP\iCafeCloudShare\callofduty\%computername%\"
mklink /d "F:\Program Files (x86)\Call of Duty\_retail_\cod23\shadercache "\\ServerIP\iCafeCloudShare\callofdutywarzone\%computername%\"

Where server is server IP and iCafeCloudShare is a shared folder for everyone on the server side.
