Bad CD Key - Your CD Key is disabled‏

[infke 5]

Hello,

Earlier today I bought Arma2:CO and downloaded DAYZ straight after installing it. After fixing some problems regarding the registry entries, the game finally booted up without any problem. However, when I try to join a server I get the error displayed in the topic title. I've done some research and from what I've seen people usually get this error after being connected to hacks or having their cd-key stolen by a hacker. I have however, never even played the game and can't possible have installed a RAT/"cd-key stealer".

I have sent a support ticket as stated in the sticky, but me being me, I really wonder if anyone else has had this problem and what may have caused it. The only thing I can think of really, is that the problem lays with the retailer (gog.com) as I've seen another case exacly like this (with the same problem prior to it).

Argh this sucks, I was really looking forward to playing this game/mod! :(

Plenty of people of people have "had this problem." The thing is, most to all are bullshit stories. Your's doesn't really stand out, since there's no way for us to know whether you actually just got the game today. Personally, I'm pretty cynical about these, since there's no reason for you to even post here since the DayZ poeple can't do anything about it.

The reason I posted this here is because, at the end, this is the DAYZ-community forum and it is in fact the same game you're playing which I'm having troubles with. I deemed it would be pretty likely someone had encountered the same problem.

As for the receipt, I know this isn't definite proof as it doesn't specificly state I bought Arma2:CO, but please realise that my case MIGHT actually be real (blocked out the personal information)

The reason I had to 'mess around' in my registry is because it would give an error every time I tried to start up Dayz through the commander. (had something to do with an extra /) I got the solution to that problem from a thread on THIS site and there was someone who has the exact same problem as me on that same thread.

It's pretty sad to see you act like such freaking dicks to someone trying to play this game. It makes you no better than the cheater you accuse me to be.

Locked.

Solutions/pathways given.

Massive sticky at top of page all about this too.

UPDATE: hmmm, due to the earlier slowness of the site I confused this with another thread I had open which showed links to the Bis Forums on this matter.

For that, I do apologise.

I'll reopen thread, for now, although do bear in mind the pinned post at the top.

I've seen this issue before and am looking into how to handle it in future.

This is only your other real avenue AFAIK.

I'll let you guys know what the real problem was once I get a reply on my ticket. If there's anyone who's having this same problem, please let me know
