re-installed steam entirely..

uninstalled mw3 and re-installed it..

opened the ports in my router (checked)

and i checked my firewall ..

and yes, i did validate it..

 

and yes, i did try to delete almost every file in the steam folder.. exept for steam.exe and steammaps ^^

 

it's taken me 6 months to get the game working, still hasn't fixed it..

it's either time for them to refund my money, or give me a new cd-key.

Well clearly you have not tried everything.

What is your CPU?

Is it AMD or Intel?

Have you tried updating DirectX?

Have you updated all your Drivers?

Have you opened the port's in the windows Firewall as well as in the router?

Have you tried running it without your Anti-Virus programme running?

Have you tried installing windows on a seperate hard drive and then just the game with just the windows updates etc, and nothing else other than drivers for your network card as well as sound, chipset and graphics?

Have you checked to see if you have been VAC banned?

Have you sent your Steam profile ID page to IW/Acti to see if they have banned you from the game?
