CD Key not authorized to play?
So i was playing on the US conquest server in Gameranger but i started lagging alot so i left. I came back to play on the same server after maybe 10 minutes and now it says that my CD key is not authorized to play on that server. Its saying the same when i join another server too.

Is this a glitch or something? Same thing happened yesterday but after i re-entered my steam CD key it let me join the servers, but reentering the cd key today didnt help.

Restart your pc and try again.
If it keeps happening, enter the CD Key again. If it still keeps happening, find some other ones online.


If you cant find any, check my guide

If you're banned, there's absolutely no other way. so, yes.

If its that i got banned on those EU servers then i have no idea why id get banned on them.
Thanks, i might get a different Cd key if it doesnt let me join those servers anymore when i keep trying to join.

I think my steam cd key is screwed up or something...Played with no problems on gameranger around 4 hours ago today but now it aint letting me join any server at all. Same when i tried joining a swbfspy server that had around 6 people.

go here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Battlefront II\Install

click CDKEY.EXE

go to your Library on Steam > SWBF2 > look for CD Key

type that CD KEY on the CDKEY.EXE

if that does not solve your problem, change your CD KEY to another one.

some are mentioned on the comments of my video on the CD KEY section of my guide:

All of those cd keys say EU20 at the end..does that even work with my game?

I did try around 10 of those cd keys & even using a proxy but it doesnt work for me.

Only way i can play is with my original steam cd key, that is whenever gameranger/swbfsy decides to let me join the servers.

since the shutdown of Gamespy, you can pretty much add any cd key.

try all of these again, though

Well this is funny......It let me join all the servers on gameranger with my steam cd key just a moment ago, so i I left the servers & rejoined and guess what, i cant join them again.

ill try the cd keys in the videos to see if one works for me.

sometimes it can do that. restarting your pc might also help (I've tested this before and it worked a few times)
