Hi, just finished the campaign and went online to play. But after a couple of mins i get disconnected with the message "steam connect failed". Plus my NAT's gone strict, it was opened at first, just turned strict without me touching anything. But it's not a big problem for now i just want to play

update steam, and see what happens, you have to have steam on. If you do that it should work. im assuming you were a naughty boy and did something you werent supposed to.

Blame everything about MW2 at IW, they suck, no dedicated servers?? Yes i did what i wasn't supposed to, cause i thought it wasn't worth buying, aiming at Bad Company 2. Had my steam account for quite some time now, where to update?

I get this now and then, I have always assumed it's a problem in their end, not mine, since it always works a bit later.

Hehe, yeah. It's probably just another excuse because you're always still connected to steam when it says that. Just their stupid iwnet tripping over its own feet.

Nah, I love steam, never had a problem with it.

Yep, usually when it says "Cannot connect to Steam" or "Disconnected and Cannot Play Until etc.." - I check Steam for the Connection . . . . . ?

It's connected of course....*sigh's**and Huffs just aren't enough to try and describe the constant frustrations of trying to play MW2 on PC. . hurrrrrrrr

of course it wont work, did you not just admit to pirating it?

"Yes i did what i wasn't supposed to, cause i thought it wasn't worth buying"-seemoon10

you generally cant play pirated games online and i think that mw2 was patched.

I'm not stupid yes i admitted to pirating it, but that doesn't mean it won't work. Came here for help, not to discuss piracy. I've seen a couple of posts where someone fixes it, but only one of em linked the site that helped him. The link was broken... So, any other ideas`?

Well considering that admitting to piracy will get you banned on Gamespot, well then yeah that is stupid. But then I suppose that's why you created a new account to post this.

No one is going to help you here if you pirated the game. The solution to your problem? Purchase the software legally and try not to circumvent security measures that are there for a reason (Steam)

I wouldn't worry about it at the moment because it happens to me as well. If it continues then get back to us so we can discuss.
