Gamespy question

Post by Arnimane » Wed Mar 08, 2006 2:49 am

Keep getting the "badaccount/password" message trying to log into NWN multiplayer. Yet checking gamespy webpage... I can login/out no problem and username/password show registered to me.

Any thoughts/hints/ideas?

Edit:

Ok, According to Themi it's a Bioware thing. However, loggong into Bioware results in " Cannot find username to retrieve password" When I try to recreate it gives me "Username allready in use or is an unallowable name"

Do I just create a differentaccount other than the one I applied under to make this easy?

Try re-registering the gamespy account with the same name/password.

I have the same problem on one of my computers. The other machines I log in on are fine.

It's not a gamespy issue, or it would occur on all machines for the same account

If you do that I think you need to first be able to release your CDkeys that are tied to your gamespy name... if you can't do that don't bother creating an account... gamespy won't let you have two gamespy names with the same CDkeys.

Oh and good luck finding a new gamespy name; after so many years most of the good ones are taken. :D

What the hell are you talkin about? I've got 4 or 5 Gamespy accounts and all of them use the same freakin CD key.

Arnimane, just like a couple of other folks have sugested, simply remake the same old account with the same password that you used previously. This will fix your problem, and I am 100% sure about that.

Case closed,
