Hi guys,

If you're getting an invalid CD key issue please try re-entering your key:

Click Modify on the login screen next to your key. Ensure that you're using all capital letters and adding in the hyphens "-" between each character sets, exactly as it's printed.

Let us know how you go :)

Cheers!

Did all that and it worked. Today same effing problem so it's frustrating to re-enter key every time u wanna play MP..
Thx anyways:)

It's probably much more difficult for the majority of users to to a regedit than it is to just do it through the game menu properly :)

The only reason I would like to know the location of the serial in the registry is because I lost the manual with my serial on it. :X

No matter what I do I cannot play multiplayer. I get no error when entering the CD key only when trying to log on to play multiplayer. I have tried the suggested solution / solutions with no luck. Patiently awaiting a fix. It's a shame really. I was on level 20 and really enjoying playing online.

You've re-entered your key as i've instructed above? Did it accept the key when you re-entered it or did it come up with an error?

I entered the key once again, didn't help at all.


Yes i did the same thing over and over and nothing!

Program Files/Electronic Arts/Crytek/Crysis 2/Bin32/Activation (it's an application, open it and it should say your serial at the top with other stuff).

My game is at Program Files/Electronic Arts/Crysis 2 Limited Edition but I think that's just because I got it with the EADM.

I didn't read your P1 post either, so I'm assuming your game is installed.

Oh Crytek, what the hell are you doing?!?

Everything was fine yesterday evening, now, this morning I thought: "Let′s try it again, just to see if it still works". Well, what should I say? The issue is back again. After restarting the game and joining Multiplayer it tells me again that my serial is invalid and I have to reenter it again. Another restart: Same effect - Key invalid.

This is ridiculous, really! Oo

Invalid log in details (Can't log in from the DEMO times) Tried workarounds (WE NEED A GAME RUNNING PROPERLY) If the game have no MP side then it should have more hours of SP or the price should be no more than 25€ (Spain).
Here in my gamesas profile / Account Settings...

Your gamesas username and your Crysis 2 nickname differ.
Do you want to take for gamesas username the Crysis 2 nickname (M*******)?
Yes, I do [_] After submiting use Crysis 2 nickname to log in


What would happen if I mark yes, I do? - Anybody did this?
If I delete my account from here, can I after this create a valid account with the SAME username and email from the game? Should that work?
I want to use my gamesas username exactly in the multiplayer part of the game,

Hey again,

If you're still having troubles with this issue and you're absolutely certain you've re-entered your key 100% correct then please contact EA support for further assistance as they handle this sort of thing.

Reading posts like your last one, Cry-Adam, I start understanding why people here are so pissed with Crytek!

Do you even understand the problem? How can it be a serial problem, if, after reentering the EXACT SAME KEY(!), everything works until the next start of the game itself?

And to top this you post a link to a support FAQ. Pushing away everything from Crytek. Although the issue started appearing with the latest patch and not before. Please go on taking care not to take any responsibility for your game. And don′t work too hard.. Oo

Unbelievable!

As i said, EA do support for key/serial issues. If you run out of activations, who do you call? EA.

It's not Crytek pushing tasks away, it's Crytek directing you to the correct place of support.

Well, whatever..

Next Crytek game will not be bought and that′s it for me. You messed it up big time. And as customer I do not care whoever is doing what. In my opinion this case is not a serial issue, it is an issue with your login servers.

Also it is a shame for a German company to not even have a German board. But that′s another story.

Cannot Login, cause of invalid serial number. Changed Password, reentered serial, still cannot play since days... Any solutions or new keys available? Is there a special Support Page I cannot find for customer requests, or only this forum?

I fixed mine by Deleting the Profiles Folder in Saved Games (Windows 7) Yes you lose all your Singleplayer campain progress logs and settings, but savegames remain (if you remake your account) and ofc your Multiplayer remains, since its tied to your gamesas/EA account. I don't know if its a temporay fix or not but it atleast made me able to do the "go MP write key, back to SP, and then back to MP and write again" trick that made my original key stick again.
