Activation - Steam

[elmarko999]

Ok,

Sorry if i sound stupid but im unsure as to how to even get this game working,

I downloaded this game VIA steam today after buying it,

If i try to play it via steam i get this message "The steam servers are too busy to handle your request, please try later", ----- all day ive been getting that message.

If i try to run the game from the directory i get a popup to put by serial number in,

But where would my serial be saved/sent?, as it wasnt on my steam confirmation or purchase email, and when i click to register the game on this website, i simply got forum access & the serial isnt the same amount of digits are the request for an activation code...

Im somewhat disheartend by this as i assume its related to the silly new copy protection ive read about for this game.

The major annoyance of screwing over players who have paid money for a game, but all of the people who are playing this illegally have no problems :/...

If anyone knows of a fix it would be greatly appriciated,

Try the clientregistry.blob fix, delete the .blob and then start Steam. This will force various configuration routines to run to generate a new .blob, hopefully finding servers which will process your request.

serial.txt holds the TAGES serial should you ever play it offline

Why would a problem with the Steam servers be anything to do with the copy protection on the game itself? Don't quite see the logic there.

Anyway, once you've got the game activated there's a thread in the main forum explaining how to register it on here; there's a procedure for generating a forum registration code from your Steam code.

If it is anything like my problem with Steam (I have still not started/seen/played the game) you may have to uninstall your virus protection (I had AVG and steam will not run with it). The game is still updating at the moment (9%)

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Steam and AVG work fine together for me. If you are having problems then I'm pretty sure that's not the cause.
