CD key not valid(0.75)

James_Patterson · 20th March 2008, 05:38 PM

So I installed the new patch and wanted to hop on for a game of PR 0.75, which worked on single player fine, but when I went to join multiplayer....CD Key not Valid.

*Twitch*

Yeah, so could I get some help, becuase a 4 day weekend without PR just isn't a 4 day weekend

Are you using a no-cd thingo? i found they stop ya from playing online.

James_Patterson · 20th March 2008, 05:45 PM

No, I have the CD, it is in the drive, everything was working before the patch.

**Bahlye** · 20th March 2008, 05:46 PM

Uninstall and Reinstall.

I know it's not a revolutionary idea, but I find it is the most fool proof way to fix serious problems.

And therein lies the problem.

I can't without another lengthy download. I can't remember deleting the original files, but apparently I did.

Oh and running Vista Business.

In your registry it'll have your cdkey somewhere. Enter it again with x9392 preceding it and off you go!

Slavak · 20th March 2008, 07:11 PM

Looks to me like your ****ed. Your ISP might be hosting a copy of the files but otherwise reinstalling is generally the only way to go

"Games\BF2\Support\B attlefield 2_code.exe" Try that, but you probably wont have any luck.

James_Patterson · 20th March 2008, 07:12 PM

I tried and it failed.

Downloading it again now.

There goes my downloads for the month.....

Slavak · 20th March 2008, 07:30 PM

A lesson for everyone, dont delete stuff that will take you longer than 10 mins to download again.
