The ravenshield patches will address most of the CD Key problems associated with Raven Shield multiplayer.
Go ahead and download and install the patches if you havent already.
If you are still encountering CD Key problems after installing the patch, please try the following:
Make sure that you are entering your CD Key correctly including the dashes.
After the first 3 characters in the CD key, there will not be any 'I', 'O', 'S', or 'Z' alphabetical characters.
The Raven Shield CD authentication is done through an Internet port that is not in the normal ubi.com port range. Any firewall technology between the player and our services must be configured appropriately to allow the validation to work. If you are behind a router or firewall, please make sure that the following ports are open in the firewall/router configuration:
Outgoing: 216.98.52.30 UDP 44000 / 216.98.50.30 UDP 44000
Incoming: UDP 5777, 5778 (default values)
- In a few cases, this port may be blocked by your ISP. If you are not behind a firewall/router, please contact your ISP with this IP and port information to verify whether or not these ports are available to you.
- Users with Windows XP will want to make sure that the built-in firewall has been disabled through Windows.
To do this:
1. Go to the Control Panel and open the 'Network Connections'
2. Right-click on your network cards connection icon and choose properties.
3. Click on the 'Advanced' tab and uncheck the 'Internet Connection Firewall' box.
4. Click OK to save the settings.
Game servers handling more players than their bandwidth allows face the possibility of refusing some players with the error 'Invalid CDKey' because they will not have a good quality communication with the ubi.com
