    Default CD-Key Question

    hiya, i get the weird message that my CD-key is "invalid" as soon as i try to log into the MP-lobby. (just bought the game cant b really invalid)

    Now the Question - do i have to write everything in Capitals and put "-" inbetween? More TW-weirdness? Any Ideas on how to fix it?

    Thank you

    From TWC

    You're getting the error message:
    "Login failed - invalid CD-key"

    Right this is how to resolve (with thanks to various posters)
    You cannot change the cd-key ingame anymore (most likely for the protection against illegal games), so you have to do other things.

    Open Start
    Click Run
    Type: regedit
    Now go to this: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/SEGA/Medieval II Total War"

    Now you'll see a value representing the CD-key. Change it to what it should be. You could have done the following wrong:
    -Don't type spaces
    -Do type the "-"s
    -Don't use "o"s use "0"s
    -Type everything (except for the numbers obviously) in capital letters
