hey all

i purchased shogun awhile ago, played it to death and subsequently uninstalled it. In the meantime, about 1 year later, i have a urging to play shogun again, but I have lost my case with CD2 in it! I have a battered CD1, which works as far as...the serial key screen. I am not some video game pirater, but I cant play the game as I have lost the CD Case. I have an offical box AND CD1, but I cant pass the install screen...anyone know what I can do?

Well, there is a new version of STW due out in the very near future; maybe you should just wait and get the new version when it is released? In the mean time try posting in the tech support forum (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Tech+Support+and+Questions&number=2&DaysPrune=45&LastLogin=), but I'm pretty sure that they will tell you that there isn't much that you can do. -Sorry.

If you have the original box, you can convince EA you indeed have the original game ( support@ea.com , was it not?), and thus get a new CD key, but I doubt they'll supply you with a new CD 2. Which is absolutely required. So tough luck.

Maybe someone with a cd rewriter could copy dc2 and send it to you.... If you ask it nice here, and r willing to pay, im sure someone will help (not me, my cd rewriter has been broken for over 2 months, but no time/mood to fix it)
