COD4 Connection Issues..
August 5th, 2016
any replys would be great
f the problem is persistent im not really sure what can be wrong.
But i usually get that problem when the CoD 4 masterserver is slow or late at nights when there are thousands of players online.
I can usually connect to my own server withing a second or two after pressing connect, but as i say when the master server is slow it can take 5-10 seconds or even be connection timeout. And i also get the awaiting key code author from time to time.
If you got all ports open and everything set correct i assume its the master server issue that are slowing it down.
Edit:
PUNKBUSTER is most likely the problem, the game does not seem to want to auto update it which causes endless looping.
