Team Arena keys have 18 characters, Quake3 keys have 16. NOTE: If your cdkey has 18 characters, then you are not finding the right key. Be sure to enter the 16 character cdkey on your quake3 cd-case in all lower case letters (e.g.
#Quake 3 cd keys mod#
don't launch into a mod or by using GameSpy, etc.)Ħ) It should at this point ask you for your cdkey, you should re-enter your original 16 character cdkey at this point and exit the game. In working with other players, we have found that the following fixes this problem:Ģ) Use your windows explorer to browse to the directory where Quake3 is installedģ) Then browse into the 'baseq3' subdirectoryĥ) Then launch Quake3 from the original Quake3 icon or start | programs menu (i.e. Sometimes the file holding the cdkey can get corrupted and can cause this problem.

Others say that connecting to servers inside the game instead of using an external game browser such as gamespy or all-seeing-eye will fix the problem. Some players report that deleting the q3key file from the various folders where the game is installed will fix the problem after they re-enter their cdkey one more time. I'll give you some help here none the less, as we've been doing a lot of testing with players to get their Q3 to run.

As PB was added with 1.32, everyone seems to believe it's due to PB. id Software updated and turned on the master cdkey auth server after the 1.32 patch. The 'invalid cdkey', 'mistyped cdkey?' and 'client_unknown_to_auth' messages are not PB-related issues. As someone brought the cd-key issue up again, I need to adress it.
