sheeshy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v18/sheeshkebab/grr.jpg I've turned off Windows Firewall, in case this was blocking it, and still nothing. If I deliberately put in the WRONG keycode it says it is wrong, which is fine, as it shows the application CAN connect to the internet. Any help would be much appreciated. By the way, cracking link if you are having issues with your keycode (I had many O's and 1's in mine) - http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/ Sorry, just found the -51 fix, I didn't reboot - I'll be back to see if this works Rebooted, no luck. Running Windows Update now WORKING Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGeady10 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Mate this has nothing to do with the keycode you are entering. Make sure the date on your computer is correct! If it's not then change this and you'll be able to authenticate the game. When you try to start up the game after auth it'll give an error but if you reapply the patch you'll be good to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making a point that it CAN connect to the internet, with the wrong keycode, but not with what I assume is the right one. The date on my PC is fine.

T4RG4 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Guys - if you are getting the SoftAnchor 'cannot connect to Internet' rubbish (as was I) try this out if you do not mind using Steam. Uninstall the game (FM, not Steam if you have it) Reboot Insert FM disc - when you are asked to select authentication route (Steam or SoftAnchor) select Steam Steam will connect your account (assuming you have one) and ask for you authentication code before it does anything else Insert authentication code - if you input correctly (bear in mind I put mine into the link provided by SI to check it, copy/pasted the contents into a text file so as not to make another translation mistake, split the code into chunks of 5 and then copied them chunk by chunk into the authentication windows) Should authenticate and then install/auto-download the update. This worked for me after I gave up with SoftAnchor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ritchie Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 We believe it's a server issue at the moment and it's hopefully being resolved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4RG4 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 That'll teach me to give a running commentary. Steam just launched SoftAnchor - what the hell? Is it doing that because I first tried to authenticate with SA? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This worked for me after I gave up with SoftAnchor. This is complete madness. I tried your idea, but when I choose "play game" in STEAM I have to write my code again. Unfortunately I get the same error as many others with SoftAnchor !!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ism-scfc Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Anyone who still hasn't got it working: I was having the same problems yesterday, before i realised i got the keycode wrong. After i changed it, it worked first time. This may be total co-incidence, but its worth making yourself 100% sure that you've got the code right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
