Key Code In Use COD4

sweeper2man · #1 08-23-2008, 06:31 AM

ok... Hello first off... new to the site.. and to the game..

i keep getting "key code in use" when i try to use multiplayer .. I have a legit key.... and tried and tried ... I did all the latest patches... and updated punkbuster .. rebooted pc... (never had a game crash) ...but still can't get online... it's been about a week now...

..

i even went as far as finding a "keygen" and typing in new keys and they never worked either.... went back to my original one... still nothing... how do I fix this..?? Am i just screwed that someone already got my key ?????? even from a new game ??

:x:x

Did you download any hacks or anything. Because many of those downloads would are scams and it steals ur cd key. But thats probably not the case.

Restart your router.

no hacks have been downloaded... was straight install to my pc.. then went to multiplayer... and got that issue... I have been trying everything.. i have restarted my router.. i even went as far as trying a "keygen" to make keys to see if that would work.. obviously I figured it wouldn't.. so went back to original key.. still no go...

this sucks... SP is still good to play.. but would love to be online playing it...

Well you could find key codes from websites...
There is a stickied topic in the forums somewhere explaining what to do if your key code is in use.

I know what has happened the same has happened with me but not as seriously You mean when yellow text comes up and saysWaiting for Key code Authotization? yep that means that someone else is currently in-game and playing with the same keycode as you, this could mean someones pirated their game and sold it to you, or your key code has been stolen and being used, I hope this helps, im not sure how to fix it, i just try to play whenever i can when my mate who gave it to me is not playing :]

bye

im not sure if this will fix your problem because it seems silly but all i done was go into multi options and click on key code then i just clicked verify it workd for me so just thought id let you know if you havent already tryed it, hope it works
