Need Help/Answer with specific 0.4.0 problem

[guynumber7]

I managed to play MWLL fine in vanilla crysis, but there was only 1 server so i bought Wars.

Now i cant join anything. (can in reg crysis wars though) I get this weird eror, but i DO get the wandering samurai intro.

Actually, on second look, i dont get disconnected but rather server authentication failed (3)

If I'm not mistaken that is an issue with 64bit, or was that fixed with 0.4.2? (Make sure MWLL is updated btw, we've had two patches in two days)

I really need help guys, i tried running in 32 and forcing dx9 and it still does not let me join any server with authentication 3 error.

i have ths steam version

Server authentication 3 means that you didn't enter a cd key. Launch regular wars without mwll and connect to a internet game. Wars will then make you enter the Warhead cd-key. After you did that everything should be working fine.

But i didnt need to enter a key. I simply logged into my gamespy account and played Wars.  Its my old gamespy account that i  played both original crysis and the trial of Wars with.

it never asked me for one which is weird because i never entered one anywhere ever so how does it know i bought it

Are you able to join multiple Wars servers? Many of those are hacked and don't require a key to join.

Steam handed out a LOT of invalid keys (I have 3 friends affected by this) and the only working way around this so far is getting a new key from EA Support (they will confirm your key is Invalid). I would like to note that people should also contact Steam - the more people complain the more likely it would be for them to change something in their system so those issues won't happen anymore.

Earlier i managed to join a MWLL multiplayer game, I don't know how, but i lost the connection 2 mins after. My ping was 90.  It's not my internet's fault. Now, It shows "connection timeout" error message again. I'm running MWLL on crysis (vanilla) 64bit, i tried 32bit and DX9 but it still doesn't work.

EDIT: Tried on Wars too (because I have vanilla and wars) and it doesn't work

Anyone?

was this happening on the same server?  They crash from time to time resulting in a time out.

For what it is worth.....

I had the same exact problem as the first poster for this thread, except I am using Wars.

I noticed the menu screen on the bottom right listed "MWLL" and not the version number "4.3". Attempting to connect to a server, I received the same "disconnected from server" message.
Looking at the " ` " text it mentioned a "malformed packet" error.

Installing the C++ fix corrected the connection error for me. The Menu also now in the bottom lists now "4.3" not the prior "MWLL"

I was about to post again and i saw a multiplayer game that i was able join. I played for almost two hour. Also, a strange thing, I began with -700 as score.

EDIT: Looks like that server was an exception... I tried on other servers with players and none of them worked
