Have you guys played with all your filter settings and made sure you have all the latest patches?
I think they sorted it out since this thread was started two months ago....... raskite revived it for some reason.
Start multiplayer and after the "awaiting key code authorization" I get "server connection timed out"
I'v got the original cd key,upto 1.7 patched,384 kbps telkom,login on local servers only and still unable to play!What am I missing?
Try this:
2. If you're always stuck on the "Awaiting Connection" screen:
- The Quick Fix:
1. Open Console. Do this by pressing the ~ key.
2. Now you will see a console window open on the top of your screen.
3. To Open a larger console hold SHIFT and press the ~ key. This will open the console on your whole screen.
4. In the console type in the following: /cl_connectionAttempts 180 The default value is 10 which is way to low.
- The Permanent Fix:
1. Locate the config_mp.cfg file in the following directory:
Call of Duty 4\players\profiles\YourName.
2. Open the files with Wordpad NOT Notepad.
3. Locate the following lines in the file.
seta cl_anonymous "0"
seta cl_freelook "1"
4. Between these 2 lines enter the following line.
seta cl_connectionAttempts "180"
5. It should look like this when you done.
seta cl_anonymous "0"
seta cl_connectionAttempts "180"
seta cl_freelook "1"
6. Save the file and close it.
Connect to the server.
