    Hello, I just got my broacdband up and running again but when I went to start a game of Call of Duty it says awaiting cd-key authorization for ages ( mostly it never stops ) I can't play my beloved COD nwo and I'm a bit pissed off. Any help?? The cd-key is legit and all that jazz

    I've never had that problem personally (maybe a few times for a few seconds)...

    I would advise reinstalling CoD and patch 1.4 and see if this helps.

    Let us know! ;)

    It might be blocked by your firewall.

    When is it happening, when the single player game loads or when you try connecting to a server using multiplayer ?

    I've had it a couple of times but it always clears after about 5 to 10 seconds when connecting to a server.

    "Awaiting cd-key authorization" and "Duplicate cd-key" or "cd-key already in use" aren't the same things.

    just a thought - are you trying to connect to a server with All Seeing Eye or Xfire, or directly though CoD?

    It's easier to find servers with ASE or Xfire etc.
