Hello, and sorry this has bee answered in previous posts but it tells me I am not allowed search the posts.

A few years ago I use play regularly on your servers as CannonFodda or Ozboss (cant remember). I am getting back into playing but  the FH servers tell me my key code is in use. I can join all other servers, just not FH.

Any ideas?

Hi mate.
Yes, this has happened to a few of us over the years.  I don't think we ever got to the bottom of it, just seems to start working again after a couple of days.
Sometimes it is because when you have quit the game, it somehow shows you as being still in the server, hence why the key in use message.
I guess you have done all the normal stuff like reset your modem / router, rebooted, etc.
Last time it happened to me, nothing I did made any difference, and I just had to wait it out.
Sorry I'm not a lot of help, but yes the problem is known.
Cheers

I pm our tech, there is his repply

" That's when the server can't talk to the master server. The client sends their cdkey/ip pair to the master server, and then our server prompts the master server with guid/ip. Master server generates the guid from the cd key and if it matches then sends the gameserver a go ahead   "
