in q4?, in q3 - a router reboot usually fixed it, and the old delete q3key / re-enter

Dunno how q4 works it, just means it cant verify ur cdkey off the central server

ive donated to quake.ie!


in q3 it was caused by cd key conflict - cd key was associated with a diff IP address, so it would just be a matter of waiting for it to time out... usually under 5mins.

In q4 it is different, and I dont know what is causing it. The conflict mentioned above still occurs in q4, and even worse, but the error that it gives is not client unknown to auth.

if you had a trial version of q4 some people edited the HOSTS file in windows so that quake 4 couldnt find the auth server and could connect to cracked quake 4 servers.
