FRİENDS WAİTİNGFOR RESPONSE FROM MASTER SERVER ERROR =? PLEASE HELPME...THANKS.

Me too, just downloaded (another) COD2 to play with my son. I'm MAC user and downloaded STEAM version.....

Can't figure how to play online......

Bummer, can't get a answer from Steam / Activision / ASPYR etc

we'll see

Might try temporarily disabling any firewall you run to see if that helps.

Activision's master server has been down since the 16th. All we can do is wait. Use console command and type in ip of server to connect.

To Clarify:

Press the Tilde key to bring up the console (it has to be enabled in Multi-Player > Options > System > Game Options). Type in:
/connect xx.xx.xxx.xx
where x is the IP of your CoD-2 server.
If you don't know the IP, go to your clan's website to find it.

If your clan uses Punkbuster: Back up your PB folder in the Activision > Call of Duty 2 folder. (Punkbuster no longer provides updates for CoD-2). If you do a fresh install of CoD-2, you must replace the default PB folder with the backup PB folder that has all of the updates.

With the COD-2 master server down, everyone joining a Punkbuster enabled server will probably have a GUID of "0" (this can be seen via remote rcon or in the log). The GUID 0 will cause numerous Duplicate GUID kicks due to everyone having a "0" GUID.

The downside to the GUID issue is any Punksbuster bans won't work; you won't be able to ban anyone, as everyone has a GUID of 0. I would assume everything will return to normal if or when the master server is back up. In the meantime, send this command via remote rcon:

/rcon login <rcon password>

/rcon pb_sv_guidrelax 4

Once the master server is back up and the GUID's are shown again, reset to:

pb_sv_guidrelax 0
