First this may sound silly but what kinda system you running, intel, amd, ram, video, m/b, etc. How much ram does your video card have etc. this may seem like it doesnt apply but it gives us somewhere to start. Also, are you sure that BK installed properly, no errors or anything. Next, what patches did u install? Patch 2.0 comes with BK. That is the only patch u need to play on a BK only server. There are additional patches that come with the is pak and the clan pak. But that patch is related to playing in games where other players are using the IS and Clan paks.

You shouldnt install the V3 for MW4 patch if you have BK mate, you only need the V1 patch for BK, that patches both MW4 and BK.
That might be the problem, hope you get it sorted mate.

Edited to say: You may have already installed the V1 for BK patch, but patching afterwards with V3 may overwrite it. Try patching with the V1 again (if you have already done it) and see what happens. If you need any help finding the right patch, grab a hold of me on icq mate.

If you have the IS pack you do not need any of the patches! The patch is included in the pack.
Install MW4, install BK, install the IS pack. Thats it!
You will need to install the MS Maps, Hogsback. Equinox, Highlands, Lake Front, Polar Tundra, Snow bound, Scrub and Wetlands. Contact me for these.
You do not need Gagetown or Coliseum as they are included with the IS pack.

helped sparrow some this afternoon with his Mw4 bk problem. Bk wasnt installing because of 0036. had him remove the no cd patch. then install bk again. he stated that the install was going smoothly. he said he was installing pr1 for bk im not familiar with this. he then went on to install the IS pak, which he said installed ok, however when he ran mw4 he said that the mech pack reinforcement didnt show up. Also, stated that it still boots him out of servers when he sees the main screen. Anyone seen this?

No need to install any patches if you are going to install the mech pack!
I would proceed by uninstalling all...
Then install MW4.
Then install BK.
Then install IS Mech pack.
Should be done... Try that and see how it goes...
pr1 for BK brings both MW4 and BK to the same game level as applying pr3 to MW4. it does patch both MW4 and BK to the same release level (pr3 for MW4 and pr1 for BK)(pr stands for point release). this is also the same release level as is included in the i.s. mech pack - therefore if you are installing it there is no need to muck with the patches (i.e. point releases), just install the i.s. mech pack.
EDIT: As Lancer stated, you will need to get the multiplayer maps that M$ released outside of the expansions (he named them above). You will also need the .nfx files for them to work in BK. Just about anyone here can send you those .nfx files, or I have a utility that will create them automagically from the .nfo files that come with them (for mw4).

I have sent Sparrow all the M$ maps plus .nfx fixes. We went through it all at length yesterday evening. I have had no reply on how it all went yet. He never said he was using a no CD fix!
A couple of the 151 ran the prog that auto fixes your maps to .nfx and the thing did not work! It just did nothing so the maps had to be fixed manually. The biggest drag is the HUD patches do not work with the new packs
Why M$ did not include that facility is a stunner even for them.

I am using the hud patch for the maps. The patch puts the grid squares over the map. it has worked fine for both clan and is paks.

there are probably several versions of both programs...
the .nfo to .nfx converter I have works wonderfully!
it is a visual basic program...just click on it, tell it to go, and you are done.
what is the exact program you use Stache, and where did you get it?

The HUD patches do work with the packs! You have to install them after the packs thats all. If they are installed when you install the packs you will get the dread '0036' error.
