EA reply on Invalid CD-Key

A reply from EA tech support on the "Invalid CD key" error some of us are getting.

"You are getting this error because Gamespy is currently in the process of merging thier servers at this time. Please bear with them, and try again in a few days, when they are finished. We have no connection to this process, and there is nothing wrong with your CD key."

Thanx to Leonov for posting this info in the Game Arena forums.

Finally a correct answer. Thanks for that, sam.

Would it go away if you used ingame browser?

Use All Seeing Eye. You get better pings, anyway.

I use the in-game browser and I still get the error.

I guess I'll hafta wait. Well, my CD-ROM is cooked anyway, so it's no biggie...

Thanks for the heads up.

i use ASE and have the same problems. ASE unsupports Spearhead because I belive they are pulling there server listings for SH from gayspy.

Now go bug EA Support about RCON DUMPUSER not working properly.

The in-game browser is just browses GameSpy

I call bullsh*t.

Does anyone really think it takes 2+ weeks to move servers around?

Why hasn't there been problems with the regular moh(aa) servers? or any other game for that matter.

Why aren't these errors affecting EA's servers?

Hmmm.

OutlawSZ · 02-15-2003, 01:03 AM

because moh:aa does not validate the key unlike SH now does.

@OutlawSZ

Well, you've answered one of my questions (and are you sure that EA is in fact checking cd keys, or is that just part of "moving" the gamespy servers?)

Why are EA's servers the only servers that don't have the invalid error?
