RTCW CD Key

Post by Kills On Site »

Well for those that read the UT2k4 General Protection Fault thread of mine you know I was having some serious issues. I think I have solved my gaming issues, I uped the VCore to 1.71 and the DDR voltage to 2.73 and it seems to make all my games run more stable. Now stable means they run, but RTCW 1.41 is being a lil bitch and will not work. Every time I try to connect to a server I get "Invalid CDkey" everytime, I've tried reentering, deleting the rtcwkey file, taking shift on and off, taking F-Lock on and off and nothing works. I also manually updated PB. Now this copy of RTCW is installed on my other computer, but I see no legal issues as it is only run at one machine at a time. RTCW is my most played online game and also caused the most issues, I ran a private server for a while and didn't crash. Does anyone know how to make the CD Key "stick"?

hmm, with quake anyway one of the fixes is making the cdkey file "read only". Tried that?

manually open that file, retype the cdkey in lowercase, close, set to read only.. worked for me when it was being a little bitch
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

I'm not sure what CPU you have but for me, 1.71v Vcore is overkill.... Keep a good eye on your temps

Well it is an overclocked Athlon XP, my temps are 41C-45C, so I am not worried

Soap, I will try that later, but I got to get to school right now

How much are you overclocking?

I had a 1700+ with a rather good stepping and managed to get it to 2.1ghz on 1.5v stable

It is a 2600+ Mobile running 200x12 so 2.4 GHz. Mine does require the extra voltage to run stable, I believe the stock was 133x15.
