Game Spy - Problems to Log In

[Tomisama]

Ok, got 2.01 now. still doesn't work. what next? send a pissed mail to sega, CA, or gamespy? I'm in doubt.

Hiya Drisos

Just to be sure, you did the above (upgraded to 2.01) by replacing your Medieval_TW.exe file with the one downloadable from the link below?

Adding the patch wont work, the exe file has to be changed out. No v2.01 patch involved for Medieval Gold, only an exe file swap.

Just wanting to be sure

(From totalwar.com)

MEDIEVAL: TOTAL WARTM GOLD EDITION PATCH
The exe file that comes with the Sega Medieval Gold edition is version 2.0. This patch will update it to version 2.01. This isn't necessary for those of you who have purchased the Eras pack as this already comes patched to 2.01.

Instructions:
The installation of this file must be done manually as follows.
Download the file and replace your current executable with this one. It's probably best if you retain a backup of your old one. By default, the destination folder Medieval Gold installs to is "C:Program FilesThe Creative AssemblyMedieval - Total War - Gold Edition".


Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Download the patch here.

@Tomi, yeah, I did. I was suprised by the way of installing. it said '2.01' in the main menu, so it's ok now.

Well, I'll go find some more info, or an email adress of someone that can help me..

Masa, Don't worry m8! I never intended to write a pissed email. Forgive me my temporary lack of modesty, but I'm not bad at pretending not to be pissed about something at all. hehe, you probably've been in such sitatuations as well.

Pissed? PISSED?!! I never get freakin' pissed! What makes you think I get pissed??!! GAHHH! I am always the epitome of calmness, collectedness, and of course, KEWL-ness. How dare you suggest I am a worry wart? I don't have warts. Are you suggesting that I'm ugly? How rude! What do you know about what situations I've been in?? You ghostin' me, bomboclot?? You betta step off, gigantor!

Personally I think you oughta ram something serrated up the bingbangboom of whomever neglected to give you a legit CD-key. What nerve.

And you are considered most honorable?? Sheesh. You seem almost as bad as that Toga Onion guy that used to stink up this place ... gah!

btw: What's a mechency?

Drisos:

On a more serious note, I've been working with redbloof on MSN. He just got his copy of VI Gold Edition in the mail today. Guess what?

He's getting the same "CD key invalid" message after many careful tries, with help from me online and his older brother there.

This might be a dubious pattern here. Now we have two potential SW players who are being prevented from enjoying the game because of what looks to be a product quality issue. I want you guys online--we need players, and cool players like you guys. I'll make inquiries too and see if I can get any results, the more that try, the more likely we'll get the attention you guys deserve for buying the game. GAH.

Edit: I chatted with VI players in the foyer. They suggested entering CD key, hitting enter, clicking continue, and if you get the error message, restart comp and then immediately try to log in. Dunno, but it's worth a try.

I just posted at the .com too, supporting you guys. Maybe someone will have some compassion for us.

[Drisos]

lol :P good stuff.

ok. so it's a 'Gold' problem.. may have a better chance of convincing people to do something about it because there's more of us having the problem.. on the other hand, too bad redboof can't play either :(

I'll try the restarting stuff.

I'm convinced though, that probably we need to convince someone to 'add Gold cd keys to the -list-'

Here is an old post about this problem, and the solution was to fax a picture of the box to CA and they sent him a new cd key.

Today, I'm going to check a couple of shops that sell used pc games, and if I see the Viking Invasion Expansion Pack or the Medieval Battle Collection, I'll buy two of them and send the cd keys to the guys who got invalid cd keys with their Medieval Gold. There are a couple of used VI expansion packs listed on amazon for $8 + $4 shipping, so that's a possiblilty as well.

[Togakure]

Umm .. Yuuki, check with me on MSN before you buy anything. We've done some testing.

Drisos, sounds like sending that scanned image of your key might do the trick if you can get it to the right person. I'll advise rebloof to do the same when he returns from his trip on Monday.

Edit: redbloof tried the computer restart tip last night. I didn't think it would make a difference; it didn't.

... I'm convinced though, that probably we need to convince someone to 'add Gold cd keys to the -list-'

Yes, I think you're right.
