Yes, it's working. The first time I've notice this was when I reinstalled win7 x86. After few restarts, the time zone got changed and the game was no longer able to get server queries or connects to them. So it is a server-side issue, I believe. No sarcasm whatsoever.

WOW! this actually worked.

 

Thanks a ton man!

This is seriously shocking...but hey, if it works, it works.

Im so happy for u guys

 

happy gaming

thx thx thx thx thx thx thx thx D:

Haha,I though it was just luck ._.

i Still don't understand syncing time and date could fix this error..

I suprised myself too haha

 

but who cares,this fixes it!

I can only suspect, since I didn't saw the server codes, but the result is clear - no server queries for "wrong" time zoned clients.

Then why mine solution fixes the problem?

 

LOL

Because of the quoted "wrong" above.

I hope this is a sarcasm.

The server date and time is absolutely not related to this.

aMW3 and aOps had this very same issue, only way to fix was by restarting your game until it works.

And yes, it is a serverside issue.

aO and aMW3 didn't have this issue at all, just an issue with connecting to the (now non-existent) DW server. Also, time synchronization does make sense, seeing as this issue happens during the initial (complex) challenge/response sequence. To prevent replay attacks, commonly a timestamp is used to make the packet unique... but the margin for that in general protocols is ~a day. Guess IW failed at that, which also explains why this issue occurs on the Steam version as well.

 

Also, it has nothing to do with anything being broken on 'the master server'.

If this works, im taking all my clothes off.

 

EDIT: I AM NOW NAKED.

The solution is So Simple... Just install the OS again... I use to have that problem before and i just changed to Windows 7 SP1 with July 2012 Updates and IWM5 Working ;D

 

Ps: Is Worth it

Well it's a common fix for avatars not appearing in a few polish Instant Messangers - timestamp's differ for client and server and authorisation fails, and client can't get avatars of user's contacts.

 

I remember that it was also an issue with Flash Player or Java just a few weeks ago - the update was constantly poping up and even if you installed it, it would still show the next time you rebooted.

You just need to make sure you're set in the right timezone and that your date and time are roughly correct.

thans its fix for me after 2 weeks.....i am shocked with this time change method

Glad to see you guys happy

 

Happy gaming as always

go to start->run and start "services.msc". Scroll down to "Windows Time" service and double click it. If it's disabled, you can set "startup type" to automatic, OK and restart the pc. Then sync again manually after the reboot.

You can also use this to automatically sync your clock at whatever intervals you want: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/atomic.exe

Still luck, not a real fix.
