Taldrenites > Starfleet Command CD Key Issues

CD key expiry dates?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Semper:
Can't you change the CD-key on the fly ?

Start  ->  Run  ->  Regedit.exe  ->  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ->  Software ->  Activision  ->  Star Trek Starfleet Command III  ->  KEY

^ ^ ^ One place where I have found the CD_Key is stored ^ ^ ^

NuclearWessels:
You might also want to complete the OP install, patch, and entering of the CD key before applying the OP+ (or any other) mod.

 If you slip up installing mods, even OP+, you can get some interesting errors on startup (voice of experience, doh!)

Holocat:
So you're saying that if I screw up installing mods, I may have to reinstall everything every time I mess up?  Wonderful.

I'm pretty sure it isn't a CD key problem;  I get the idea that if I have to imput those numbers again to many times more, i'll have the key memorized like my bank's PIN number .

Could anyone else tell me what the final result for patching from 2500 to 2538 was?  I remember that when I was patching to 2525, skipping, missing or anything other than all files replaced meant patching problems.

Anyway, back to the intresting sport of texture wrestling,

Pestalence:
Try this.. in this order :

Completely uninstall SFC OP using add/remove programs in Windows Control panel

Uninstall SFC III patcher like above

Delete the SFC III Patch folder

Delete the SFC OP folder

reinstall SFC OP

Launch game, enter CD key, Exit game

apply the 2500 to 2538 patch, do not patch in steps

launch game to make sure game is working correctly

add the EAW to OP missions first with the appropriate *.MCT files

Add the NW OP missions alsong with the appropriate *.mct files

(*.MCT files tells the game which scripts to use in Single player mode)

launch game and make sure that it works correctly in single player mode.. if not, then remove the NW OP missions and MCT files and try game again.. if it sitll doesn't work, then remove the EAW to OP missions and MCT files... game should function again..

then try just installing the NW OP missions and MCT files and test game.. if it crashes again, you have a corrupted file....

if it works on all the above in Single Player Mode, then DL and install the OP+ pack per instructions and then test game.. if it crashes.. retrace your steps on the OP+ Pack.. test in single player mode to make sure it works correctly...

once Single Player mode works correctly, then try online...

also make sure you are updated on your device drivers for video and sound and Direct X...

Hope that this helps


 

Holocat:
Waaaaait.  There's a SFC3 patcher folder?  Where?

hoping for OP+ badlands goodness,

Holocat.
