Awaiting Key Code Authorization
« on: December 01, 2008, 01:05:38 am »
 COD4 Worked fine for a week, then came up with this problem.

I've see answers all over the board, from corrupt hosts file, to router problems, to IW's master server list being messed up. Anyone else ever had this problem?

Had the problem a couple of times. But it seemed to stop after I went to the Options / Multiplayer Options / Enter Key Code. Then click Verify.  It should say "Key code appears to be valid". That stopped "Awaiting Key Code Authorization"

Have you purchased your key via an online keystore?
I know there are problems with the cod5 keys that have been distributed that way, might also cock up cod4?

No it came with a video card for my dad's computer i built for him, CD was on the case. It worked fine for a week, then during a game it froze and i had to do a hard reset. From there on it stopped working, anyone else heard of this?

Not yet, not too excited about registering for official game boards.
Not really my kind of crowd, but guess i'll have to wade in and hope for an answer, thanks

Best u can do is Do register at the COD5 official forum and just explain your problem there. Because i dont think anyone here knows what could fix it.
Ofcource u can try the old school way.

Install COD5 with the key, to latest and try to play should work normally obviously... But u tryed that already?

Found the problem, for some reason Peer Guardian decided it didn't like it after a couple of weeks.
Shut down peer guardian and no problem.
Thanks for all input guys :icon_thumbsup

The only thing I have seen PG block that I have to let it allow for like 15 minutes is Hollywood Interactive.
The system has a TS server on it I use now and then....but the network it's self in in my ban list as it is also used/owned by the Law firm that handles all the movie and music law suites!

I know, it's weird. Maybe they moved their MS list to a blocked IP range?
Anyway i just turn it back on when i'm done playing, not like i download anything while gaming anyway :icon_rolleyes2

Well there is no reason to open yourself up to possible internet attack...just tell PG2 to allow that one IP address for "X" amount of time or until a reboot.

Myself I am now blocking 1,169,519,117 IP #'s and never have a problem.
Oh...every IP is a valid block.
