I was playing Halo Custom Edition saturday and all of a Sudden the Server closed down on me? or i thought it did because a message saying "the Server has closed down" i went to check back and the server was still opened.?
when i tried to join the Server again i got a message saying "INVALID CD KEY"
wtf? now i dont know what to do. I cant create a server or join one because all say "invalid CD key" or "the game has closed down"
has this ever happened to you? damn just when i thought i would get a chance to wait for some cool CE maps this crap happenes to me.

i tried playing Halo PC and the same thing hapened.
why is this?
and i dont have a crack or anything like that.

maybe u could try reinstalling halo

btw, if u have dial up then ull get disconnected from the server u are playing on, the "game has closed down thing" happens to me alot, since im stuck with dial up and my parents are too cheap to pay 8 more dollars a month for high speed.

If I had to guess, I'd say you got disconnected for a moment (the game then said the game closed down), and the server didn't register you leaving the game, so it probably still thinks you're logged into it.

i think that happens when the game thinks your cd key is already in use

Yeah it sez that when its in use. Did you lend your cd key out to anyone? A friend or something?

usually when you do lend it out, it only says "INVALID CD-KEY" when you try to join a server that has someone on it with you cd-key.[/quote]
