After downloading 1.1b, then installing over a functioning version of 1.0X, (the prior patch), when then clicking on "Play Game" it asks for an email and serial number, which I provide, but it replies Activate.exe cannot communicate to the server, do I wish to activate via email?
I then followed the email instructions, and received no reply. I'm still checking for a reply as I write this, nothing. Yet my account creation verification email was instantly sent. Hence I can post this.
I have added all GC2 .exe's to the Windows SP2 firewall exemption list, including activate.exe. No worky. Then shut off the firewall completely, then rebooted, yet activate.exe doesn't make any outbound connection.
What is the problem with ACTIVATE.EXE?
Also, must the activiation email have to be read by a human? Must I wait for human approval every time this occurs?
I was in favor of no CD protection, as it made things simpler at first blush. But your methodology for updating via activation has, in this instance, failed and turned off a customer. I can't use GC2 until this is resolved. Please advise. :/
