Probably, the MDF file is missing; create one from your own original DVD. Read the forum FAQ for more details.

I edit my message!

Sorry, I don't read the rules ;D

Bye!

For sure, not here... Read forum rule #2!

The game seems to start, after the spinning cd icon, but then the screen goes black a few seconds and the games is closed. Any idea what could be wrong?

well, i did all right id the yasu , and dameon tolls, but, when i put the cdkey, its just says can`t complete de certification process...
i tried alot of diferents keys all do wrong... allways failed
" The activation server is unable to complete your request. Please contact the software vendor." this is the msg i allwasy got... i not asking for any keys, just for an explanation...

Only bought serials from original versions are allowed for online-playing.... dont use warez!
Install with *your* serial and with your original disk (i think you havent got one). The warez-version can be played offline only.

Stupid people...

And with your original cd? Drivers from graphics-card up2date?

No no, everything i try, it just wont complete the key check...

Like it was stated before: use your [B]ORIGINAL[B] CD-key. For online playing, you can only play with your ORIGINAL disk. You can try whatever you want, your game won't work online if you didn't bought the game from store, as you need an original CD-key for online playing. If your CD-key it's not working, you can complain to the store from where you bought the game or e-mail Atari support and ask for a replacement key. You will have to offer proof that you bought the game legit, so I hope you kept the receipt. Otherwise you will have to buy another copy.

BigBoss.cj: Banned, forum rules #1 and #2. (As it is impossible to get "alot of diferents keys" with a legally purchased copy of the game, you're obviously using some kind of key generator...)

I have the same problem, when I would like to start the game without DVD. I use Deamon 4.08 + YASU 1.07

I didn't find info if any keygen was released. And

Anyway as I said i an earlier post, I bought this game and it doesn't worth it. A very buggy game. I got BSODs :mad: , and there are other bugs within game while playing (single player).

Buy Silverfall or better Jade Empire.

I can higly recommend Jade Empire, as I own it. Jade Empire is like a drug, I was addicted so much that I finished it within 2-3 days. If you have installation problems, skip autorun and run setup.exe from dvd.
If you want to run it under Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, just place to \Games\Jade Empire\ folder the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/21177106...9_1_0.dll.html
Preorder bonus: Rhino Style

@duffyduck
Doesnt sound like it is value for money if you finished it in 2-3 days!

A good game should last a lot longer than that. ;)

Ok it took me maybe 5 days, but I played the whole weekend, 24h per day. It was the first time I played a game like this.

You can finish it in a week. That if you make the sidequests. i preordered the game, so i had quite a nice chat with the people from ebgames who sent me Jade Empire later than the launch and with no preorder bonus. Well, it's a first for everything. In the end they sent me the preoreder bonus disk, but still...
sorry for being incoherent, but I'm after a bit of clubbing.
Test Drive Unlimited works fine for me online, but of course, I do own the original. Not worth the mone though.
Silverfall is poorly optimised. So i'd choose Jade Empire anytime. I'm doing reviews for a frined who's working at a game magazine in my country(pretty popular I' d add) . As payment I can choose a few games from the ones that i made the reviews. I'd say it's a win-win situation, 'cause I like gaming. And Silverfall demands a high-end rig with at least 2gb of RAM and a powerful videocard. So stick to Jade Empire(it's Bioware, and it's pretty much RPG oriented, though is labeled action/RPG).
