INVALID CDKEY after v1.4 + bonus pack update
I have just downloaded and installed the patch for version 1.4, and the bonus material for registering your game...
Now when i start X2 i get asked to enter my CDKEY, which i do, and it then says that i do not have a valid CDKEY!!!
I can assurer i do have a game bought in good faith with manual with the sticker on the back and 2 key codes and i am entering the right one correctly, this is extremely frsutrating as there is nothing i can do but re-nstall the game without all these lovely new features....
what do i do????
PLEASE HELP

That is odd, if your manuel comes with two codes on the back I assume you have the UK version? this maybe a silly question but are you installing the right patch? it should be the UK / euro version 1.4, however if that is correct what about installing the patch first from a clean install, and try again

Have you tried doing everything in the sticky at the top of the screen?

Yeah ive got the exact same problem. My key worked fine until I upgraded to 1.4 and the bonus stuff. Now it asks for a cd-key. I do not get the button to send an error report so I took the cd out and used that error report instead, attaching it to my email with my cd-key.
I even installed a dodgy cracked exe so I could play the game in the mean time (well wtf do they expect) but I get the random hull damage thing going on so thats out of the question.
Guess I will have to go play half-life 2 instead which I got the same time, they use copy protect that allows those that have bought the game to actually play the game u c

Firstly, yes the other post was deleted - there's not need to post the same thing twice.Zanzubaa wrote:Yeah ive got the exact same problem.

Secondly, using a cracked exe is illegal and promotes piracy of the game. Do not bring this up again - if you do you will risk having your account suspended.
From what you have said, if you had searched the solution would be fairly simple. You have installed the wrong update. Your game is version 1.3 - you need just the UK 1.4 update. What you have done is to install another region's version - probably the US one and this has corrupted the game and the copy protection.
Now, you must uninstall the game, reinstall and then install the correct 1.4 update.

Yeah cheers for that. Got it working in the end.
Just reinstalled and applied the same patches and this time it worked fine. Probably my system just messing around. I used a program to delete some add ware stuff from my registry and it could have deleted some of the x2 reg data to.
Coll game, look forward to building my super empire and killing loads of pirtes
