etkey should be in your etmain forlder

if you are suffering from missing guid try remove etkey file then open et and connect to ps2 88.198.62.41:27960,

if that wont do close et check agian that in your etmain folder isnt any etkey ( if there is remove it) open et and console and type /pb_cdkeyreg and wait about 1 min for response. that should give you etkey and working guid

edit ah, garfys post seems to have more info ^^

as i understood in server, you don't have a guid.

have you wrote in console: cl_punkbuster 1
then connect 88.198.62.41:27960
restart your computer.
join again.
if u get kicked by pb: Missing CD Key
then:

Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etmain\diretory.
Find a file called etkey and delete it.
Then load up the game and pull down the console and type in the following
/pb_cdkeyreg
Give it about 10 to 30 seconds and you'll see a message saying successful.

None of the suggestions work for me.

Helper wrote:Try making the etkey file in Enemy Territory\etmain\ read only and see If it works tho at first u may need to manually obtain a cd key/guid from PB with the /pb_cdkey reg command once u have been kicked from a server.

Guy, who had a problem wrote:was glad i had written down /pb_cdkeyreg ,cause first server I entered after posted the above I got booted (go figure).

But a quick ~/pb_cdkeyreg and it was fixed.

Helper wrote:Also try this:

Disable and enable Punkbuster, either in the menu or take down the console and type: cl_punkbuster 0, restart ET, take down console again and type: cl_punkbuster 1. Punkbuster should have generated a new key for you now!

It seems Punkbuster (Evenbalance) is clowning around yet again..

I see a lot of these problems over the last week in the pb logs of PS2.
At this time I wouldn't start messing around with your etkey since you would lose your xp/levels at our servers by doing so.


This was my hunch as well (from: http://www.punksbusted.com/forums/index ... opic=61981);

looks like if you do a fresh install/reinstall ET, even with an up to date PB, PB will send a request to the master servers for a key, but the master servers don't return one.


Not a lot you can do other than wait. In the meantime it might be an idea to bombard them with trouble tickets; http://www.evenbalance.com/troubleticke ... hp?game=et ;)

P.s. If you still have your etkey, do not delete it! If you've already thrown it away, check your recycle bin (or in the worst case, run a system recovery) in order to get it back.

warren, is there a way to stop no guid players to connect ps1 (also other server).
and then they get message what they have to do.
today morning in ps1, there were so many no-guided players. Even at the same time in server (never seen that before).

No, not without PB.

But I don't think you really want to do this at the moment. It clearly looks like an error (master server down, or hacked etc.), affecting a lot of players. Keep an eye on the no-guiders but don't kick them out right away, otherwise you'll get a very quiet server I'm afraid ;)


Edit:
According to Evenbalance

Please try again. The auth service was down and should be up and running again. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
