@djMot timeout set on DM3 is the same as the other servers. Other cause of this which is out of our hands is that activision's validation server is not releasing the game key right away. Was just in the Redline server without issue and as well loaded the map alcatraz so not clear on why anyone would be having trouble getting in. This server has run before many times, only change this time around is the mixed game type. if the problem persists, then will try straight DM, but there's no known issues with the maps that are in play. As for DX9 errors, perhaps a local issue and the version of DX on the machine. Rotation on DM3 will be swapped out sometime today.

Thanks for the feedback.

@Merlin007 Three things: We tried to go to the Redline server this evening when DM3 hung. Looks like most people were having problems getting in. The map was Alcatraz, I was getting DX9 errors and crashing on the splash screen of the map. Could you please restore the QPort timeout on DM3 to its lowest value so we can get in after a game crash faster? The Redline server was at least clearing the QPort session quickly. Maybe compare its setting to the one on DM3. DM3 takes forever after the game crashes on your computer to let you past the duplicate QPort error. It doesn't have to take that long. Way too many map rotations on DM3 are causing the server to hang these days. I see Opto is now a mod and I think someone else showed up with mod taqs too the other day, but I don't remember who that was atm. But tonight, there was no one there to save us, and the Redline server let us down. Last night Opto was there, but didn't have the training to restart the server. That should be training task #1 for a new mod. Last night we went over to the Sniper server and had fun. Thanks.

@Elvis9 I think it depends on when you bought it. Early on, I believe the Steam version would allow the creation of an online profile. Several people in the servers today are apparently playing on their Steam edition of COD5. A couple of years ago when I tried, I could not and the issue was well known back then. It just didn't work for multiplayer. You could play the single-player campaign just fine, but not multiplayer online. I think it might have been traced back to the Activision key validation servers not allowing it, or not allowing the creation of a new online profile. If they've changed that these days, that would be great.

I use steam to cook oysters shrimp and lobsters. That's all it's good for. lol

@djMot.....I purchased from steam and had no issues

Well it would seem a lot of people play WAW from the game purchased from Steam. So it must work for them. I agree some might have issues. Logic would say its not steam its something on the users machine causing the issue bad download interupted install blah blah blah. My favorite is old and usless antivirus programs. LOL were so over that people. I have a saying about this stuff. You can spend hours going through the possibilities of what is wrong. I injoy this always interested in WTF reasons. But really were a very small crowd. My answer is this delete the game from steam. You can always download a new copy. I bet by now Dean could of did this 3 or 4 times. So delete the game from Steam reboot and reinstall from steam. At teh very least its the same waste of time trying everything else till you luck out and it works.

hey @BigPapaDean, I know I can help you fix this. Ive done it a few times with CoD on Steam. It would be so much easier to talk you through it on voice. Ive got you on fb so shoot me a message so we can get together and get you back on the battlefield. Carl Sexton on fb P.S I will say this, Step: 1 - You need someone else who is already on the version you want. Step: 2 - They need to send you their WaW game .exe from their Steam games folder. Step: 3 - Then you save it IN PLACE OF your current WaW .exe file inside your Steam games folder. Step: 4 - Change Steam Updates setting to ask before it updates. Turn off automatic updates. NEVER VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES. It will send you back to current updated version. Step: 5 - Start your game. It will tell you the version you are on in bottom right corner of Main Menu. Good luck, hope it works and shoot me a message on fb.

Okay I juswt finished searching my room and I found a CD but no key NO#.

I have to do some looking in my room for the game.

Thank you Skuz!

Do you at least know your CD key?

Thank you Skuz

Thank-you Skuzapo

I posted a video in your other threads did you try it ??

Can I use your headset to listen to that music you have there? I guess I am gonna have to look a little deeper or find a new CD with it on it.

Thanks Skuzapo

Thanks @djMot. Now that you mention, I do recall something about that. Like you, I've also resorted to keeping an ISO of the game disk and copy of all my game keys, just in case.
