With in the last couple of days crysis 2 has asked me to verify my key which it displays upon start up.

I own the retail disc, and I have version 1.9 installed with dx11 and high texture pack.

I am running windows 7 x64 sp1 and have not made any changes to my pc but change the nvidia graphics driver twice. I wanted to see which driver would run best without the driver stopped responding issue. I am running 275.33 whql.

My graphics card is a superclocked gtx 570 hd which actually runs well maxed 1080p ultra with stock factory clocks in precession.

Im just worried that I might run out of activations here. Any suggestions and btw I did install the sdk version 1.0 and then version 1.1

Any help would be appreciated.

same here, it seems a bit wierd, it was already filled in when i clicked next but i dunno

It shouldn't trigger an activation just changing a video driver. I swapped a processor a few days ago and that did trigger an activation - I should have thought about it and de-authorised the machine beforehand but this is a warning to others.

Navigate to your Crysis 2 folder and in the Bin32 directory there is an application called Authorisation. Click it and it will tell you what your activation status is.

Thank u I will do that much respect.

Yeah... that's strange, but installing "new drivers" should not trigger you to re-activate your game. I've added new hardware to mine and all remained just fine. It could be just a glitch / bug? Or... something else completely..

As for loosing activations, if you run out you can email EA and they will "reset / extend" your activations...
