Can't play on 2 computers?

Postby SWGO~Andrew » Sat Jun 04, 2011 6:11 pm

I have SWBf2 installed on one computer..and later i installed it on another computer i have. Then i tried playing multiplayer on both but it doesn't work. Anybody know why? I was trying to play HA on both computers but i can only do 1..the other will just say CD key unauthorized. Does it have something to do with using the same IP address as i am using the same internet for both?

Can't use the same key more than once per server.

What Dog said. If one person with the same CD-Key is online and in a server, you will not be able to connect to ANY server. You'll get the error "Your CD Key is not authorized to play online" or something like that.

Hope this helped.

Man...I think your two computers are 'self aware'...end of the world stuff. Know what I'd do? Quietly sneak up on them, and pull the plug. Otherwise, you are dead. :eek:

You can play on more than one server at the same time with the same cd-key as long as all the computers are using the same external IP address and the gamespy names are different. I played on three servers at once this weekend from home.

Sometimes it will let me play from on two different servers from different IP addresses (one at home one at work) but sometimes it won't.
