bat works in Windows 7 x64. The bat exactly does what was needed to fix the "Failed to contact key server" some time ago (1 or 2 years?).
So your question should be: How to update the bat to fix the todays "Failed to contact key server" error?
There are two possible answers: 1. You have to change reg path to this: HKCU/Software/Valve/Steam/Users/%yourid%/keys/%appid% 2. You have to change the bat so it writes the keys to this file (in correct format): Steam\userdata\<userid>\config\localconfig.vdf
I think the second one is the currently used one.
No guarantee anything is correct, that's just all I can remember, can't check it myself now.

If you don't know English or would rather speak Russian, please post in the Russian or foreign section.

hmmmm, pretty simple (yes, simple  ) but interesting batch script. the only thing it does (in theory) is checking if a file called "rtcwkey" exists in the relative path "steamapps\common\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\main\", and if it does not exist, it creates it and writes the following text inside : otherwise it should normally display "Run Steam Ftcks Fix from Steam dir to correctly install a fix for this game." remember that this batch has to be run from your Steam installation directory (not SteamApps directory or elsewhere) also PeJpepiG, I strongly advise using double quotes at line 155 because there may be space characters in the %key% variable : - if not exist "%key%" echo key>%key%

[DZ] Genesis Of course it's simple. That's what bats are best for: Doing simple tasks.
About the double quotes at line 155: Shouldn't be necessary, look how the %key% variable is set. (The example, RTCW, wouldn't even work otherwise)
Edit: But as I already wrote in my previous post this bat won't be of any use anymore. The way Steam stores your keys locally has been changed (also described in my previous post).

OK, I'm doing this from memory, so it might be wrong. Try the following: Open this file: Steam\userdata\<userid>\config\localconfig.vdf This file should start with And now different sections follow, the one we are interested in is named "cdkeys", we don't care about the rest. If this section already exists it should look similar like this: - "cdkeys"
- {
- "%appid%" "%key%"
- }
Now all you do is add an entry for RTCW, the result should look like this: - "cdkeys"
- {
- "%appid%" "%key%"
- "9010" "%put rtcw key here%"
- }
If the section doesn't exist yet, just add it. So at the end the file should look like this if you have only RTCW's key in there: - "UserLocalConfigStore"
- {
- %different section we don't care about%
- "cdkeys"
- {
- "9010" "%put rtcw key here%"
- }
- }
