COD 4 "Awaiting CD Key Authorization"

Assasin-uk · 26 Jan 2008 at 16:48

This is driving me nuts now and i havent changed a thing.

Came back from working in london and now cannot get past Awaiting cd key authorisation all the time.

Tried the following:

Connecting through X fire and in the game.
I can creat my own server - no-one connected though
The game also willl not refresh the server list btw.
Reinstalled the full game
Router reboot -serveral times
turning off the windows firewall alltogether
opening the ports it ive been told to -28960?
not got hamachi installed.

Running windows vista 64 and orange BB :rolleyes:

Ive tried google but it wasnt my friend...

can the Ocuk community sort it.. :confused:

Reinstalled a fresh install put back in my players folder but still the same prob..

Thanks very much.

I tried the reconnect bit many times and nothing.

thought id done the prt forwarding

not sure on there server

im running x fire that can see all the servers and still cannot connect through that.

i read the lan part article too, tried forwarding TCP: 28960

UDP: 28960, 20500, 20510

as suggested and think i have, but in the orange box adaptor it only shows the last forward you made..
