GameSpy & CDKey

A warning for you guys who just got Quake3 and are attempting to use GameSpy. There seems to be a bit of a conflict right now which causes some people attempting to connect through GameSpy to get a "someone else is using this CD key" error. Not quite sure what the problem is but for now I'd suggest just using the internal browser or just copying/pasting the IP from GameSpy to the console. (You can paste using shift-insert) Of course, once this problem is fixed you'll want to use this GameSpy filter to find all the registered servers.update Jack - I just spoke to Graeme at id who's looking into it on their end. It turns out it's not a GameSpy-specific problem, because doing quake3 +connect <ip> does the same thing. As soon as we come up with some sort of workaround, I'll let you guys know. I'm sure we'll be putting out a newer version of GameSpy soon to better support the final game anyway. By the way, this problem doesn't happen to everybody it seems.
