Squallion Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I patched the game to 1.10 and then 1.20 and now it's asking for an activation key. My issued key is not working for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Did you install the correct patches? AFAIK there are three versions of the patches up to and including 1.20: the battlefront.com, the paradox and the gamersgate version. Maybe you DLed the wrong patch for your game. It is a bit speculative, but that could be the reason for your key not working anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lille Fiskerby Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 This is the way to install and patch : If you have a CMSF module, then you do not need your base game license key (ever again). That's because when you activate a module with a module license key, the base game is activated automatically as well. There is no need to license the base game separately if you intend to install a module with it. For Windows Vista and Windows 7 users we recommend running the installers by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator" from the popup menu. The default directory for Battlefront versions is usually '\Program Files\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force' for 32-bit versions of Windows and '\Program Files (x86)\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force' for 64-bit versions of Windows. Please double-check where you install the game and ensure that modules and patches install to the appropriate directory. A new folder/directory in the game's actual directory would be an incorrect location to install a patch to. Most patches will replace the main game executable and you should get confirmation that the patch installed properly by looking for this version number at the bottom, middle of the main menu screen. Here is the correct way to reinstall CMSF and its modules (as of patch v. 1.32): •Install CMSF, do NOT license it if it is a Battlefront version. •Install the v. 1.10 patch for your distribution (Battlefront or Paradox). This step is sometimes not needed if you have the Marines module, but bundles that include the Marines module may not have all of the necessary files that are part of the v. 1.10 patch. •If you have the Marines module, install it now. •If you have the Marines module, launch CMSF and use the Marines license key to activate (this activates both CMSF and the Marines module). •If you have the British Forces module, install it now. •If you have the British Forces module, launch CMSF and use the British Forces license key to activate it now. •Install the v. 1.21 patch. Make sure to make the correct selections for the modules you have. Making an incorrect selection will result in modules disappearing or license key requests for modules you do not have. If you run into this problem reinstall the v. 1.21 patch again and make the correct selections. You must install the v. 1.21 patch BEFORE installing the NATO module. •If you have the NATO module, install it now. •If you have the NATO module, launch CMSF and use the NATO license key to activate it now. •Install the v. 1.31 patch. Make sure to make the correct selections for the modules you have. Making an incorrect selection will result in modules disappearing or license key requests for modules you do not have. If you run into this problem reinstall the v. 1.31 patch again and make the correct selections. •Install the v. 1.32 patch. Make sure to make the correct selections for the modules you have. Making an incorrect selection will result in modules disappearing or license key requests for modules you do not have. If you run into this problem reinstall the v. 1.32 patch again and make the correct selections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=5&id=41&Itemid=378 I only see 1.10 and 1.20 leading up to 1.20. The list you posted has the 1.10 and 1.21 only for the battlefront.com version, not for the other two. Battlefront.com patches: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_versions&Itemid=221#Combat%20Mission:%20Shock%20Force%20%28PC%29 Paradox patches: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_versions&Itemid=221#Combat%20Mission:%20Shock%20Force%20-%20Paradox%20Version Gamersgate patches: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_versions&Itemid=221#Combat%20Mission:%20Shock%20Force%20-%20Gamersgate%20version Wich patches you need depends on where you purchased your game. Maybe you should make a copy of your save games/downloaded community generated content, do a clean reinstall of the game and then download and install the patches for you version again. Maybe you accidentially clicked a wrong item in the patches list and installed a wrong patch for your game. You could also try to just install the correct patches over the already installed patches and pray for it to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
