CD Key in Use Error | Forums

[Mark794]

I'm running a wireless router from my main computer and when i try to get online with my son whoever gets on multiplayer 2nd gets the, CD Key already in use error. I bought 2 seperate copies of Raven Shield and I'm guessing that its reading the ISP and not allowing due to the ISP's being almost the same. Is there any way around this? We were able to get on servers without punkbuster but now it just refuses to let us in at the same time. We're running NetGear wireless G if that means anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You are close. The same network port is trying to be used by each PC for CD key validation, so you get the error. There is a fix for that. Read here:
