Reinstalling Crysis 2

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:23 pm

So I need to reinstall my Windows, and I need answers:

Do I need to de-authorize Crysis 2 before reinstalling Windows?
Can I play multiplayer once I reinstall Windows?
If I buy the DLC now, do I have it when I reinstall Windows?

I've reinstalled C2 after wiping my drive and reinstalling windows 7, no worries.

Didn't de-authorize.

SP data is contained in your hard drive disk space. lol
Of course if you reinstall the windows it would be lost forever. And of course it wouldn't be if you backup it earlier.

Actually no, the first time I installed it, the activation didn't stick so I had to activate it 4 times for it to work and it made me a little worried seeing that I had only one activation left, but I also installed win 7 instead of xp and have reinstalled the game and activated it atleast 3 times since then so I don't seem to notice any limit. And anyway, what's the point of activation limit anyway? when it's up, you have to buy a new game?

So that you can't install this game on 100 computers... Is Crytek going to answer?

You can install this game on 5 computers at a time, but if you run the activation.exe again on that comp you can de-authorise and free up another activation for another computer.

You can obviously only play MP with one computer at a time.

it means that your activation key can be used for 5 computer, if you have used 5 activations and you want to install it to another one, u must de authorize one of them... ~~
