I purchased Call of Duty 4 through Steam, and am able to play online.
But on some servers, it wont let me join, it says Key Code In Use.


Whats going on?



Thanks.
 
Id contact their technical support and get a new code, it sounds like your code is already in use.
 
How long did you wait after leaving a server to join another? My guess is that Steam registered your CD key being in use on a particular server, and if you quit and joined a new server quickly then it may still think that the CD Key is still in use on the previous server.
 
while we are on the topic of cod4 keys...

if i get cod4 is it possible to install it on 2 of my systems and be able to play on both of them in multiplayer?

what about if they arent online at the same time?
 
Should be.

Worked like that with Counter Strike: Source, and seeing how they're both through Steam, it should work.
 
if you buy cod4 [not on steam} then you can install it on two pcs and you can play both online just not at the same time.
 
I'm getting a Key Code currently in use thing now!? I haven't leant it to anybody, I can't connect to any servers...
 
sounds sir like somebody is useing your key on a copy maybe

what you can do is ring up activision and tell them the problem and the will give you a new key and cancel the old one (yes they do have ways to confirm that you bought the game )

i had to do this a while back with battle for middle earth

or you could email them and see if this is a common problem ?
and ask for a fix

You can install it on both machines, but you can only play multiplier on one PC at a time since it checks the CD Key.

It does NOT work on Steam or stand alone. Steam doesn't allow you to join the same server or even play the same game if the same account is online and being used.
 
Kornowski try exiting the game and killing the power to your modem and router for a few mins then turn everthing back on and try again.
 
Yeah, I just came out of the game and turned my internet off, turns out a few people have that problem, it's when a server disconects and you're still on punkbuster for some reason... that's why, all fixed now!
