"Incorrect Authorisation Key"
« on: February 16, 2013, 08:45:37 pm »
Basically, keep getting the "Incorrect Authorisation Key" message when trying to log into any servers on my Favourites list. Regular servers don't appear for me. I have uninstalled and re-installed NW and verified my game cache. Was working fine a couple hours ago.

Any help plox???

righto,
           had this problem a few times and know of other who have had it.
list of tryable solution:
1) you was on a server that restarted map or reset as you were joining, this then creates a blip in paradox/talewords cd keys and this error appears, one way of fixing this is if you can find the origional server you got this from and get them to fully restart the server (take it down put it back up) then retry joining.
2) you can delete a file within steam files called clientregistry.blob and Appupdatestats.blob - this for some will refresh the keys and re authorise the ones you had. its just in the main steam folder not in the mods or games just below all the files.
to do this stop steam - delete files- restart steam and it'll re-add the files and refresh them
3) go to the taleworlds forums and activate your steam CD manually on their database so it will take your steam one and your paradox key at the same time.

when i had this error none of this worked for me but worked for some. For me it was working the next day just had to leave it overnight for everything to fix itself.

regards Rackio

I'll always be sympathetic to your plight, Rackio. Probably not enough to act, but enough to care.

I had this problem this morning, I restarted my computer twice, worked like a charm after wards. And if that doesn't work, follow Rackio.

I got the problem just now and tried restarting several times to no success so tried deleting those files and that didn't work, i'm about to try the taleworlds one, then finally the server one.

Don't delete files, it's a server issue with taleworlds. I'm getting the same thing.
