Uninstall the game. Go to Control Panel - add or remove programs. Then do a clean install. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaroad Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Buy a new one? Nah just joking.Uninstall the game. Go to Control Panel - add or remove programs. Then do a clean install. You have to do this everytime you play it mate. So best thing to do is leave it running, never exit the game, never switch your computer off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFFJeff Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 If you are running Vista you do not need to use Steam. Just uninstall as stated above - fresh install then run as Administrator and it works fine & dandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxduke Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 After the activation mine is running smoothly except for freezing on the 1st friendly twice but windowed mode fixed that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bayliss Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 1. Why would uninstalling help 2. How do you get past activation (im about to use a warez crack on it - that impatient - and i bought it so im allowed to if it gets past this STUPID activation nonsense. 3. How do i delete the Certificate if i want to try reinstalling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke.smith Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 this is such an unbelivable mess I was really looking forward to this game and I feel like I've been robbed beacause I can't play it. I feel sorry for any first time users, the customer reviews from websites like amazon are appulling most gave a 1/5 because of this activation ********!

Bryant4114 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I just find it incredibly ironic (and ridiculous) that all the piraters are already playing this game with no problems while SI mess their customers about like this. Way to alienate the crapout of everyone, going totally the right way about sending loyal followers to other brands, just like Pro evo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to alienate the crapout of everyone, going totally the right way about sending loyal followers to other brands, just like Pro evo Well, it's amazing that SI allowed this mess to happen. Almost like they threw this in as an afterthought. It's too bad. Fortunately, my copy hasn't come in yet, so I've researching all of the potential problems just in case I encounter any of them.
