The following is a short but informative article about the major problem faced by the quake 4 game fans. The waiting for authorization problem occurs while connecting to a quake 4 server. Just follow the given steps and the waiting for authorization problem will be solved.
When you are stuck at the waiting for authorization screen, just do this. Press alt + enter. The game window will minimize. As the game window will minimize, its color will turn grey. When the color of the window turns grey just press alt + enter again. Now the game window will maximize and pass the waiting for authorization screen.
NOTE (press the alt + enter second time when the minimized window color is grey)
I think that will help a lot of quake4 fans. The real fun is in playing quake4 online. If you are not fast in this game you don’t stand a chance. The most important part is that you should own a very high speed internet connection. I played it on a T1 connection, but still I had to face time lag. My bullets used to reach a little bit late. Rest the game’s graphics are quite good and its fun. Single player version is also ok.
