Call Of Duty 2 - Online problem

TCK · #1 10-12-2005, 06:38

Hi there

I have a legally purchased copy of Call of Duty 2, but I'm running it using a no-cd crack because it runs faster than off of a DVD.

The serial I'm using is the one from the back of the manual, but when I try to go online, it just says "Awaiting Key Code Authorization"......

Does this mean someone else is using my key code? Or is it to do with the no-cd crack?

When you mean "Call Of Duty 2" then next time name your so.
Now i renamed it for you from "Call of Duty - online problem" to "Call Of Duty 2 - Online problem".

But CAN you help me with my problem?

@TCK
Well obviously there is an easy way to check your problem! Use the original DVD to see if it connects! If it does connect then you can safely presume that it is in fact the NoCD crack causing the problem.

ingenious, one must say lol

Nope, still no luck.........

Shall I write an email/letter with my instruction book and Proof of Purchase??

Or will they not be able to do anything?

Then I would return the game to the place of purchase for a replacement! If they dont want to replace it then demand that they install it and try it for themselves! They could of course argue that it doesnt work because you have already used it online, but then you come back with the comment "if I had in fact already copied it and used it online, I would be asking for my money back but I dont want my money back I want a working serial!"
If that fails then you will have to contact the support site and report the place of purchase!

EDIT: You did swap the NoCD crack back for the Original exe before you tried to connect using the DVD, didnt you?

Well it's too late to go there now, and they're not open tomorrow, so Monday it is. And we shall see what they say.

Thanks for the help

EDIT - Yes

why do you want to replace your copy? There is no message which says your key is wrong. It only hangs while authing your key which could be the point when your router is not configurred correctly or you have a wrong configured firewall.

Yes that is good point! For some reason I had gotten the impression he had already been online with it!

Check your windows firewall.

Start > Control Panel > Network connections

Right click your network connection you use, goto properties on the popup

New window, goto Advanced Tab at the top, settings for the firewall.

Turn it off and check to see if it connects.

Failing that, check with the publisher or developers website for the game and check the FAQ's they have for online play.

I've just, on the advice of a friend, tried it on a "Cracked Server" where people with cracked copies can play, and it seems to work fine on there, but not on a normal server.......does this mean anything??

The nocd for CoD2 multiplayer is pointless because CoD2 multiplayer is nocd anyway...
