Key Code In Use???

[munkee]

I was playing fine and then I had to get out of the game. When I came back on 2 minutes later, I am now getting the message

"ERROR: Key Code In Use. Try Reconnecting Later".

WTF does this error mean? Did I get hacked or something?

No this is typical when you exit the game in a non proper way (Not saying you did that). It usually cycles your key code out in around 10 minutes maximum. Sometimes if you re-enter your key code it will work and let you play.
I used to get blue screens sometimes, when I would reboot and try and come back in game I would get that exact message.
Not to worry, not being hacked

Okay, thanks. I saw the post about kill3r's mod and such and got a bit freaked out, lol.

One soluce :for next time : reboot your modem when you have this message.
All will work fine after.

I used to get that error when a server would give me a CI and I would have to shut down the game using Ctrl-Alt-Del then try and log back on to a server. The server would still think I was connected. After re-booting my computer I could get back on - a pain in the.....but not a big deal. No worries, bro.

One question - did you give your key code to a buddy, brother, cousin, sister or girlfriend? If someone else you know took your key code then it could cause you problems.
