I keep getting banned or kicked

[DeltaJ]

I just got GOTY and when I try to play MP I can only get on like one server all the rest I either get a you've been kicked or banned when I try to connected. No missing addons or messed up files messages. what the hell.

[Mr. Cheese]

I haven't got GOTY and can't remember what version it comes with, but have you patched it up to 1.96? [on the main menu at the top, it tells you what version you've got]

[DeltaJ]

Yeah I've got all the patches.

I think I know why you are banned on most servers. Could you please tell us your player ID? Its the number you see when you click on your player name in the main menu and then "Edit".

[Berghoff]

Do you have custom audio files in your user profile? many server don't allow it or more than 25kb etc..

[gandalf the white]

Isn't it prohibited to post player ID's on the forum?

Either way, maybe because they have modified server files? I dont really know...

[Migebuff]

I dont think its prohibited to post your own player ID.
The problem he has is that he is using an illegal cd key from google. These keys are banned on almost every server, thats why he gets the banned-message on every server.

Why doesn't he just use the one that came with his game when he bought it?...
