COD4 CD-Key

[Guest BigMac530]

I pre-orderd Modern Warfare 3 on steam and they gave me a free copy of COD4.

 

I start the game, make a profile, fix the graphics settings. I set my filters and when i click to join ANY server it says "CD-Key In Use". What? I was just given the game for free by Steam, how can it be in use?

 

Any suggestions?

I am disappoint. Really, you preordered MW3 when it's coming out not 2 weeks after BF3 and that's what the whole clan is going to be playing?

 

Seriously though, I haven't a clue about what your problem is.

I pre-orderd BF3 also...

Is it bad to play two games? I don't care if he plays MW3 as long as he still owns in BF3 =P

 

I don't know how to fix your problem BigMac but maybe you should contact steam and see what they have to say. that's all I got for now. If i find anything out ill make sure to contact you Via Pm here or on TS

Key in use means just what it says. The key is in use. Your key is legitimate, but it's possible a person using a keygen randomly got your key and if the same key is in use, you're out of luck. It was a problem three (or four, whichever it is) years ago when the game first came out.

So IF thats the case, i would have to buy the game again or what?

You could contact Steam and see if they'd be nice enough to give you another key to try. Otherwise, keep trying to play a game until you get in. That will give the other person using your key the message you're getting now and hopefully discourage them from using that key again.

I submitted a support ticket.

Steam told me to run Steam as admin and it will work. So far its been working now. Thx guys.
