Not sure if your problem is solved by now, but you must enter the CD-key exactly as it shows. Numbers from 0 to 9. Letters from A to F. There is no letter O, it is a zero. all letters are capitalized, don't use lowercase letters. And don't forget the dash (-) between each group of numbers.

Hope it helps.

It is about time CA does something about the CD-key validation module. Accepting dash or no dash, lower and upper case and convert all O to zero before validating is not so difficult to do and doesn't defeat the CDkey password scheme.

Hi comrades,

i am a newb to the online battles, i have completed the campaigns a few time and now fancy pitting my wits against some of the big guns out there.

problem lies in the cd key, everytime i enter it it states that it is invalid, is the any kind of universal over ride?
any help will be much appreciated.

also merry crimbo :D

No there is no universal over ride.
As LadyAnn says, your cd key should be entered exactly as it is shown on the back of your manual or on your cd case. But with one exception to what she said....all Letters are LOWERCASE not capitals. (RTW uses lowercase MTW uses capitals)

For example (this is not an official cd key)...
1a23-2a23-3a23-1a1a-2a2a-12a2.

If you still have problems report back here.

First post in this area of the Org...

Here is the story:

Me and my little brother wanted to play multiplayer. I said "ok", uninstalled Rome, then re-installed. I patched it to v1.5, then installed BI, then patched it to v1.6 (which has 1.5 i guess).

Well, i couldnt get on multiplayer. Finally, after about an hour, i applied patch 1.5. MP worked.

After several fights with my brother, the game CTD'd. I then loaded it back up, puzzled, and clicked multiplayer.

Now it says "not compatible......BI v1.5 (... "

BI doesnt have a 1.5, and this is the problem i had before. So, i used the 1.5 patch again, didnt work. Used 1.6 patch; Still nothing.

Anyone else have this problem?
