Chris Ritchie Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 We think it's down to the servers not being able to handle the rush at the moment. It's being chased up now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finknottle Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I too, am having the same problem with SoftAnchor. I have also tried the "run as administrator" route but after inserting the correct code I still get "unable to connect to the internet" please contact Sigames. I have now been trying to activate for three hours and I have adjusted my AVG anti virus not to scan Sports Interactive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJockKnew Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Just keep trying guys-i didn't do anything special on mine just kept pressing back/next.I really do think it's a server overload problem See I have been reading all the methods - re-install, do this, do that and all that crap. I'm just going to keep doing the back/next method if it works for other people. New season......new problems. Joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
serdario1 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 running on vista firewall off.No virus protection enabled.Connecting internet via router.I think there must a port opened via router to run this program correctly?Or is it really server down and can't handle?

dickiemcrich Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 i regestered my game last night and it worked fine for three hours. now i can't play it. it says my trial period is over? an expensive trial peroid me thinks, i spent longer playing the demo:mad: and that was free!

theking1 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Do you have to go through Softanchor every time you load the damn thing.I got mine working and saved and quit the game and now i am re-introduced to the Softanchor activation screen!

JJay Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The latest update which isn't in this thread is: Hi,Those people getting errors 10 and 702, we are updating some info at Uniloc to try to help the issue. Unfortunately while that is updating it has slowed the system significantly and this is causing these errors, as well as the telephone outage. We'd advise you to hold off trying to authenticate while this happens, we will let you know as soon as it is back up to speed. Thanks Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJay Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 BBoy, this probably isn't a problem your end at all so don't worry about playing around with your firewall at this time. It appears to be an overload error on uniloc's side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulditch Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 This will most likely be the last time I buy this game. I just want to put in the CD, install, and play. I don't want to have to install Steam, and go thru this all the time. 2 hours ago I got my copy, and I'm still not playing. I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it. Paying 50 euros for something, and still not being able to play it! The customer seems to get screwed, this is not how you handle piracy. You'll only make people angry and turn to piracy.

PinkClare07 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 oh for the days when you put the cd/dvd in and it played ffs it's saying my trial period with soft anchor has expired (i didn't know i had one to begin with) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ivanhoe Manager Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'm going to listen to the SI Mod person and just wait, I think it's the best advice. It's clearly a server problem, and although we're all annoyed and serverly p*ssed off, I think the best thing to do is stop moaning about it and wait.

PinkClare07 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 so maybe in like 2 months time too many people want to play it through Steam and the server goes down we won't be able to access our game then either? what a waste of £30 if that's the case also being on a laptop when i was able to play they put my saved game on my b/f's username so we'll probably have problems there too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
