I need help with COD4?

Question

On the PC, when i try to play a game I keep getting a message saying key code in use try reconnecting later. What does this mean?

Answer 1

Please go and re-post this in the correct section, in this case Computers and Internet > Software they will be able to help you better there as that is where the people knowledgeable in such matters look for questions to answer.

An if that fails try Games & Recreation > Video & Online Games.

Remember asking questions in the right categories helps everyone.

Answer 2

It either means

a) You have an illegal copy of the game

or

b) Somebody "stole" your cd-key, in which case I would email either the developer (Infinity Ward) or the publisher of the game (Activision) and explain your situation.

Good luck

Answer 3

This means that ou are trying to play a multiplayer game and someone else is playing online with the same cd-key number as yours. If you downloaded the game, then it wont work, but if you just bought the game, then you should go to the store and replace it for a new key. Also if this was a gift or someone else gave it to u, then chances are that they gave the key to someone else. Basically only 1 person can go online with that key!
