Also i heard from someone that if you put the gsa master server for swbf in your windows hosts file you bypass the cdkey check. Can anyone confirm this? Peace,

You can open core.lvl and the files in the data/common folder with a hex editor. One useful string is "SetReinforcementCount". I've tried changing it but the game crashes. Can anyone else help?

well ima post this here since i got like 10 pms.

go in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc (may be c:\winnt...)
then find a file called "hosts" (if you dont have it, make one)
go to the bottom and add:

127.0.0.1 <press tab> swbfrontpc.master.gamespy.com

Save, exit, play.

Again, this is only if you were getting "Invalid cdkey" errors. So far i got none. Peace,

Does not work here. I tried with and without editing the host file and just about every server will ether say its full when there more than enough spots open or it will stay on the busy screen forever.

i was able to play multiplayer without the private server patch. i must've gotten a lucky generated cd key that was probably a valid one Smile

this game is okay. the damn blurry effects is annoying. this is the distortion effects right? i turned it off and nothing happened. blurry still there.

I went out and bought this because I enjoyed the Xbox demo so much. My brother d/l'd it. He called me tonight saying he could play online using the CD-keys listed for the install. Apparently it does work online w/o a valid key. Also, the "Server is full" stuff is happening to me (with the retail game) as well, even on servers showing 20/40. Seriously not cool, you like to think that you get better support/quality/whatever when you actually buy the game, but in this case the opposite almost seems true.


Yeah, the master server doesnt update frequently enough. you're lucky if you can get into a good ping game with 3/32 players Rolling Eyes

The authentication server was down for the first couple of days but it is up now. That is why some of you were able to play online without a valid key.

You cannot play online now unless you have a valid key.

If any of you want to try it, please prove me wrong.

well you can play the game without a real cd key for awhile but afterward youll start getting invalid key errors but all you have to do is go into the install folder in your bf directory and hit the cd key exe and enter a new cd key and your back in it.

The auth servers are actually on and off. Right now they're off, but are bound to turn on again some time soon im betting. Anyways, if any of you want to try an experiment that may get u passed the cdkey check:

1) Get ye a firewall
2) Make sure Ye Firewall blocketh IP adresses (Incomming n out)
3) Block Ye IP:
207.38.8.34 (Gamespy Master)
4) Playeth yon game ye scurvy coward

If it doesnt work for joining, i heard it works for hosting (so that other people could join ye game)

Enough of Ye Olde English ;P
PEACE, YE!
