Please enter serial key

[Voester]

Whenever i try to join a server it asks me to enter my serial key and it won't take the one i get from steam? it's never done this to me before today and i've been playing a loooong time.

edit: it seems to work when i launch it via steam but with with the launcher it asks me for the serial key

I have the same problem...

Have you tried launching the launcher via steam? Add non steam app, add launcher.

Also i remember some time ago when i was making a research for my friend, there are two types of CD keys. There are 5x5 and 4x4 keys running around, you can convert the 5x5 from steam to 4x4 from talewords forums. But i am not sure if this cannot somehow break your game in other way, so better to wait and check if someone has some experience.

Anyways, try to google the CD key conversion, maybe you will find some info that helps.

You can also try to hit the devs on IRC channel, cannot find the link as wiki seems to be under construction :S

wel my serial key is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx so i guess its not a 5x5 but a 4x4. I had the same problem (when i wanted to join a server this morning, i was asked to enter my serial key). i hope its not my game, but just a problem with the servers.

Go to Documents > M&B warband > rgl_config

Open this file and check that line is 0

" use_secure_connection = 0 "

I had a similar problem last night, saying Invalid Authorization Code. I didn't change anything from the night before...

same problem there... game purchased by Gamersgate... enter the key xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx with "-" between numbers...it works good

I don't think the problem is a key conversion, and I belive that ll make a huge problem.
We just need to see why crpg is not gettin the steam key as usual.

[Erebosaither]

we all have same problem i don't think its game related.its about overload and tw server can't handle authorzation so we should all wait till monday

[Skarji]

It's not a tale server problem, in fact i got one native server open and i was back there playing.

Is something related to crpg launcher system, not using the warbandkey.

[Erebosaither]

so what are u sayin? what admins or devs should do?

[Skarji]

Ah, I found this.

http://forum.melee.org/beginner's-help-and-guides/problem-with-crpg-launcher/

And maybe we steam users, have to wait one Crpg patch :p

[Erebosaither]

probablyy devs hear this

[Skarji]

Well, they ll, and since i'm playing they dont took to long for the fix's.

Just dont convert your steam key or do something critical, let's wait and sharpen our blades @_@.
