Hayabusa Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Same, slightly worried to say the least. I was seriously considering not buying this game due to the DRM security put on it, decided to give it a try, activated it via Steam but now can't gain access cause of this, my internet connection is perfectly fine so don't know what to do. I have all the Vista updates etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Reaps Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 DRM put me off purchasing both Spore and Red Alert 3, but the draw of Football Manager was too much so took a punt, as I currently can't play the game can't say I've made the correct decision.

goldie0000 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Got exactly the same problem. Why is no-one responding. What a shower of sh*t. These guys are going to seriously lose out this year - there is so much out there to compete with this sort of game these days (not just football managemnet) wihtout question they have lost a small percentage of people already due to just giving up. What about all the people that are completely computer illiterate (most people) and just want to put the disc in and start playing!! What a disaster.

JJay Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Just so that you are aware, you are definately not the only people experiencing this problem.

stu_u2k Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 After assurances from the SIGames Staff regarding activation I have got my copy back here today and guess what? Yes you got it the activation doesn't work! To add to my fury the page I recieves says Activation could not be completed because it cannot access the internet, for more information please visit SIGames.com! So for sack of argument lets just say I don't have an internet connection or its down where is the "other option" phone etc. You cannot tell someone they have a problem with their internet connection please visit a web-site for more information, there is NO LOGIC to this AND SUPPOSEDLY their worked & thought alot about the activation process. Clearly! FFS, I want a refund already! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
