darren68 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Im trying to get COD : World at War running on my server. Keep getting this stupid message. ERROR: Dedicated server authentication failure. Game has latest patches Directx is up-to-date COD4 servers are runing perfectly Tried redoing the game files and re-uploading to server. I just cant figure whats causing it not to authenticate. Ive scoured the net and cant find a definitive answer. Can anyone help? Thanks Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{-SMAKU-}_MotorMouth Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 You need to make sure you have ALL dx .dll files installed. WAW uses files that COD4 does not. I forgot the exact .dll but that was my issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren68 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 I did read about that and downloaded 2 files and pu them in the root of cod5 install. Hopefully is right place, but tried starting server and same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren68 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 after checking windows os configs, i found the problem and have solved it. There was an entry in the windows hosts file that pointed to wrong server. soon as i deleted entry worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
