.TuG.Beaver Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Jeez, UBI really know how to f**k up a good game. Camel, Beaver & Benny tried to play Raven Shield on co-op multiplayer the other day & once I'd created the server, the other 2 couldnt bloody connect to it. It was viewable in the in-game browser but everytime they tried connecting, it came up with an error, even when we tried connecting direct to my IP. Well, Camel had been up all night playing GR, so he went to bed, and Benny and I still tried to get the damn thing working. Eventually Benny managed to connect to my game and we even got a couple of other players in too. Woohoo we thought. So we played a match, which consisted of 5 rounds & then onto the next map. All went well, but when the map rotated and the server sort of reloads, then Benny couldnt get into the game anymore. Man that sucks a large quantity of dead penguin dicks. Anyway, we gave up and went back to playing GHost Recon. I hope that the next patch that comes out fixes all these multiplayer online issues & CD key problems. :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I purchased the game and tried to play a Multiplayer game over the Internet. All i keep on getting is invalid CD-Key. I rang the UBI support line and the only questions they asked was if I had a firewall or Router. As i do, they said it wont work as there is issues they are aware about and to wait for a patch. Even if the router of firewall is properly configured to allow access it still wont work. :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Found a new post on the UBI forum that may help with CD-Key issues. Technical Support and the ubi.com team are currently looking into this problem. We hope to have this issue resolved as soon as possible. In the meantime, please make sure that you have ruled out all other possibilities for error by doing the following: Please make sure that you are entering your CD Key correctly including the dashes. After the first 3 characters in the CD key, there will not be any ?I?, ?O?, ?S?, or ?Z? alphabetical characters. The Raven Shield CD authentication is done through an Internet port that is not in the normal ubi.com port range. Any firewall technology between the player and our services must be configured appropriately to allow the validation to work. If you are behind a router or firewall, please make sure that the following ports are open in the firewall/router configuration: Outgoing: 216.98.52.30 UDP 44000 216.98.50.30 UDP 44000 Incoming: UDP 5777, 5778 (default values) - In a few cases, this port may be blocked by your ISP. If you are not behind a firewall/router, please contact your ISP with this IP and port information to verify whether or not these ports are available to you. DSL Users Only - Win 2000 / Win XP users (specific instructions): First, open a DOS command window by clicking on ?Run? from the Start menu and typing ?CMD?. In the command prompt window, type ?ipconfig /all? and press Enter. This will list your network interfaces. Find the one that does not have a default gateway and write down the ?description? of that interface (e.g. ?Fast Ethernet PCI XYZ?). Go back into Windows, and open your network adapters (on Win2000, Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network and Dial-up Connections; on WinXP, Start->Control Panel->Network Connections). Get the properties of the one you just found (Fast Ethernet PCI XYZ) and disable the TCP/IP protocol. - Windows 98 / 98ME users (specific instructions): First, open a DOS command window by clicking on ?Run? from the Start menu and typing ?WINIPCFG?. By changing your selection with the drop-down menu, find the one that does not have a default gateway attached and write down its description (i.e. the string in the drop-down menu). Then open the network adapters (Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network), choose this one, and disable the TCP/IP protocol. All other connection types We have found that if you adjust your TCP/IP settings to obtain an IP address automatically, instead of entering a specific IP configuration, the problem usually resolves itself. Please make sure that you have your TCP/IP configuration set to 'Obtain IP Address Automatically'. To do this: 1. Go to the Control Panel and open the 'Network Connections' 2. Right-click on your network cards connection icon and choose properties. 3. Highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP setting) and click properties. 4. Check the 'Obtain IP Address Automatically' radio button. 5. Click OK to save the settings. - Users with Windows XP will want to make sure that the built-in firewall has been disabled through Windows. To do this: 1. Go to the Control Panel and open the 'Network Connections' 2. Right-click on your network cards connection icon and choose properties. 3. Click on the 'Advanced' tab and uncheck the 'Internet Connection Firewall' box. 4. Click OK to save the settings. Game servers handling more players than their bandwidth allows face the possibility of refusing some players with the error ?Invalid CDKey? because they will not have a good quality communication with the ubi.com server.
