invalid cd key?

[ikelordofwar]

i just tried to play online today.. i made an account on gamespy and stuff but for some reason it says that my cd key is invalid... i have no idea what this means.

This means that your CD Key has been used by someone else to make an online account. Did you by chance buy a used or illegal copy of the game?

no. i pre-ordered it before it came out.

Hello there ikelordofwar, I highly doubt your M2TW CD Key has been compromised by any outside party. It's more likely that during installation, you did not enter the CD key digits correctly.

Simply follow this process, and it should resolve your problem.

You're getting the error message:
"Login failed - invalid CD-key"

Open Start
Click Run
Type: regedit
Now go to this: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/SEGA/Medieval II Total War"

Now you'll see a value representing the CD-key. Change it to what it should be. You could have done the following wrong:
-Don't type spaces
-Do type the "-"s
-Don't use "o"s use "0"s
-Type everything (except for the numbers obviously) in capital letters


Now it should work, if it doesn't let us now ... preferably in the MP part
