Baught the game on Steam, played several hours and BAM "Key already in use". Steam referred to Activision, Activision back to Steam. For five or six weeks now. I bet this is caused by those shops which sell the cd keys only. No one knows the sources of this keys. Where did you buy the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Make sure they are both not running in the back ground before you load the game. The only way I cured it though was to uninstall the game, do a registry sweep and then reinstall. Problem solved. If nothing else works from these other gents, give what I did a whirl. Edited March 6, 2013 by KingStinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I had this same thing happen for about a day and it went away, of course not before I'd purchased another copy of COD4.. Hustlakov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
