Still Server Authentication Errors in CoD World at War

Maybe you noticed. If not.... then you were one of the lucky ones.

Last week we were promised the Server Authentication Error was fixed.

What happened was, we made a game that so many people wanted to play (alright you got me, I’m bragging!), that our master servers were inundated with authentication requests which simply got back-logged. This resulted in response times that exceeded the hard-coded timeout thresholds in the game.

It was a problem that has been 100% resolved. I could give you more techno-speak as to how we solved the problem, but I’ll just assure you that it shouldn’t happen again.

We don’t have an explanation yet as to why your file systems changed as a result of failing an authentication request with the master server. As such, it is taking us some extra time tracking down the cause on the PC .


This weekend the amount of Server Authentication Errors made World at War a game you couldn't play online.

And when you spend 55 Euro on a game you cant play.... you are allowed to feel conned.
