I thought RU region keys had to be played from RU-regions and not just activated from RU?

Yea that's right but you can work around it with the steamappid i think...

Yep, there are no matchmaking restrictions.

Perhaps no matchmaking restrictions, but your STEAM account might get banned.

steam_appid will let you play without VPN.
Not a single steam account was disabled because of activating a game with VPN. (the worse that can happen it to get the game removed from your account.) Wink
And you'll never hear "yeah, go buy cheap ru key and save money" from a dev. Very Happy
If you're paranoic, you can activate the game on another steam account, but it's not necessary.

MP not working?

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

They're not offline. I was in a match for a few minutes. There are also plenty of people with rank 10+.

The game tells me Steam has disconnected after I've played for a bit, which is caused by the steam_appid.txt method.

There's no regional server restriction or such blocking access is there?

EDIT: Steam shouldn't interfere with the steam_appid.txt file, it still uses Steam even with that file so it seems strange it would disconnect you.
(Might just be something with Steam currently.)

EDIT: Oh right maybe it can, certain Steam features can be a bit odd when launching the game directly from the exe.
(DLC usually, maybe it doesn't connect to the Steam user data properly?)



EDIT: Rules of behavior or such.

I had the same problem when playing Borderlands 2 before it was out in my region. Steam shows me as Online and not In-Game, so I wasn't able to join other people through Steam.

Most likely you used a wrong appid. It should show you online playing CoD.

202970 is what I have. I even tried a bunch of other appIDs, nothing. Still just shows me as Online.

Excuse my stupidity - but if I change my region with steam_appid method to NZ, I can possibly play the game? Just curious.

You'll need a VPN to decrypt it first.

They changed that couple of months ago. If you are playing with appid trick, your Steam status won't change to in-game and it won't record time spent in the game.

Alright, so an Australian or NZ VPN first to decrypt it, then change region with appid to play?

So there's no way to play it online until it's out in your region then? Without playing with the VPN, that is.
