ron.e Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I decided to buy the game and i paid £30. I activated through steam, only to have to download the damn game again. I tried to lauch the game and it comes up with this screen from soft anchor so i put my keycode in which i've checked loads of time but it says it can't be activated because it was unable to connect to the internet even though there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. What the hell am i suppose to do now? As i've said i might as well of tried to download illegally. Less hassle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron.e Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 That doesn't really help me tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Isn't there a sticky at the top of the forum to help with this? Or a technical issues section of the site? I put in the question marks because I couldn't be bothered to check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron.e Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yeah but it doesn't tell me how to fix this particular problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Girondins Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I bought the game off ebay. I installed it. I selected not to install steam and used unlilock to activate it. This took 0.5 seconds. I have not had any problems since. Almost certainly because I chose to have nothing to do with Valve/Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkim Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 As far as I know, they have a solution for that problem. Check out the activation sticky threads at the top that deal with the online form of authentication. I'm sure they have a solution there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Gribble Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I'm glad I have a Mac and therefore don't have to go through all this Steam ********. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkim Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 ^You have an option of choosing. It's not mandatory to use Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron.e Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 I uninstalled the steam installation and just installed from the disk. It comes up with the softanchor box and i put my keycode in and it still says it can't connect to the internet. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
