  • I might have the solution for invalid cd-key

    Hello everybody.

    This may have already been said, but I had the Special Forces "invalid cd-key" problem which had made me quite furious against this game, its developer, and bought-in-shops-with-money games in general.

    I still don't have seen my solution so I allow myself to post it here, just in case.

    I read once here :

    Sometimes a conflict in the updated files can prevent the game from properly identifying your CD-key. Usually, refreshing your CD-key will resolve the issue. Note that this will only correct the error if you used the same Windows account to install, patch, and troubleshoot the game. If you have switched Windows accounts at any point it is recommended you uninstall, reinstall, and repatch using the same Windows login.
    If you have Battlefield 2
    Click Start.
    Go to Run.
    Type regedit and hit OK button.
    Click on plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
    Click on plus sign next to SOFTWARE.
    Double click on Electronic Arts folder.
    Double click on EA Games folder.
    Double click on Battlefield 2 folder.
    Double click on ergc folder. NOTE I HAD TO CREATE THIS
    Data displayed will probably have x9392 only.
    Right click on it and select Modify.
    Type in x9392 and then your CD key.
    note: don’t include hyphens.

    Example: x9392(your Battlefield 2 CD key here)
    If you have Battlefield 2: Special Forces
    Click Start.
    Go to Run.
    Type regedit and hit OK button.
    Click on plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
    Click on plus sign next to SOFTWARE.
    Double click on Electronic Arts folder.
    Double click on EA Games folder.
    Double click on Battlefield 2 folder.
    Double click on ergc folder. NOTE I HAD TO CREATE THIS
    Data displayed will probably have x9392 only.
    Right click on it and select Modify.
    Type in x9392 and then your Battlefield 2 CD key.
    note: don’t include hyphens.
    Double click on Battlefield 2 Special Forces folder.
    Double click on ergc folder.
    Data displayed will probably have x9392 only.
    Right click on it and select Modify.
    Type in x9392 and then your Battlefield 2 CD key.
    note: don’t include hyphens.
    note: do not use your Battlefield 2: Special Forces CD key.
    Example: x9392(your Battlefield 2 CD key here)

    If the issue persists, you will need to uninstall the game completely and then reinstall and repatch to completely remove and replace corrupted files.
    But, look rather:
    note: do not use your Battlefield 2: Special Forces CD key.

    And come on, try to put YOUR SPECIAL FORCES CD KEY instead. Any difference? It works for me. How strange...

    Would you be kind enough to spray the word? I created a profile to post this.

    Best regards.

        Ok, sorry then, I've never seen the solution anywhere, only what I posted on top, though I have browsed quite a number of forum pages on this topic...

        (???)

        'was just trying to be helpful.

          Thanks for posting!

          I feel lucky, i never seem to have any problems with BF2. The worst i have had was being kicked for losing packets of data where i had to reboot my router.

          I have never had any Pb probs, CD-Key or anything!
