Decided to re-install World at War. Lost old cd's so purchased it off of Steam

Install seemed fine. Went to create On-line profile and it would not accept SgtWacky.  Same profile I've been using for all my games.

Also..... likely related..... it will not allow me to connect on-line.

Game indicates it is version 17.1263. If memory recalls....this may be an issue.

Any help would be appreciated....thanks

COD WaW doesn't allow 2 identical names, so if you didn't save your profile from a previous installation, you'll have to create a new one. You can add an underscore or a number, like Jointz did.

Yes true  you installed different game key so you have to edit your name (the first profile name is still in the cod5 system) like Athenas said add a different caracter

When I try to enter profile name, existing or new one, it

just ignores what I entered and asks again if I want to create one. Vicious circle to no where. Any suggestions?
