- This tool includes a button to launch the game (SP or MP) and automatically patch the FOV in one go. As of 2022, this feature no longer works, likely due to changes in the Steam client since IW6 itself has seen no updates since 2018. To work around this, launch Ghosts from Steam, load a mission or join a game, then launch the FOV changer.

"Fatal Error: Your system memory (RAM) does not meet the minimum specification" error at launch
- Ghosts has been patched on November 19, 2013 to change the 6 GB limitation; the game will now run with 4 GB.[14]
Disc Read Error Image File
- Change "Texture Quality" to "manual"
- Change "Specular Map Resolution" from "Extra" to "High"
Level 1 Bug
- If Elliot and Hesh stop running during the ODIN attack near the start of the level, it may be becuase the game doesn't like the storage drive that it's installed on's format. This can be resolved by installing the game to a different storage drive with a different file format, like exfat. It can also be installed to a vhdx on the same drive as it was before and it will work. What mattters is the file format of the storage that it's using.
