BF: Vietnam - CD Key In Use

Lucutus · 2004-03-20 18:18:21

Got this problem after leaving (read: crashing!), and trying to reconnect. Is this a timeout thing, where I have to wait 15 minutes to reconnect, or is it possible that the fecker in the shop is playing using my key? I did notice that the manual/cd bundle wasn't shrinkwrapped like it normally is when I buy a game. Luc

There is also a more specific one here.

Question:
When I try to play Multiplayer online, I get the error: "CD key in use." What can I do about this?

Answer:
Battlefield Vietnam requires that each computer have its own copy of the game for multiplayer use. Make sure that you never give anyone your CD key. If you give your key to another person and they log in, you will not be able to play on the Internet.

Try cleaning out your C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files directory. Do not delete the folder itself, rather open the folder, select all of the contents, and then delete them. Don't worry that you will erase something that you'll need; the system will tell you if you are about to delete something that your computer is currently using.

If you still experience this issue, please send us the requested information below by email, fax or US Mail. Once your request has been received, a serial number will be issued and sent to you within 24 to 48 hours.
