STRANGE PROBLEM with my cd key

[u4f-admin]

Hi,
I have a legal copy of the programm (buy in a store)
So i have a legal cd key witch works perfectly,
But i noticed some strange issue,

when i play on a server, and when i'm kicked (server closing for clan match or for making it private)

I can't reach another server, the program says
"invalid cd key"

so i have to go to option an retype the key, and restart COD
for making it working again as before.

Any idea of what's happning ?

Thanks

ive also got that problem.

You dont need to retype pass.

When server gets restartet sometimes he need longer to check all keys.
Ehm for axample: Your on, server restart, cd key in use!
server thinks your still on the server and say "in use"!!

Just wait up 3-5 minutes and you should beb able to play again.

You dont need to restart machine or retype Key.

I have noticed with this game that you can disconnect from the game and it will still have you showing up as a player. Happened to me the other night and found out that the server I just left showed me as a player still.

Pfffffffiuu !

I thought i was another mess i have.
So it's because the closing server didn't "clean up" his logged players base,
and because i try too quicly to reconnect ?

Thank for your aswers...
I feel better now..

This has been an issue with all of the quake based engine games dating back for years.

Both of the above answers are accurate. Either close COD and wait a minute or so, or put a hammer through your computer an never worry about it again :?
