Patch 1.03 - invalid CDKEY

[fluffydice]

I just installed 1.03 patch. Found a server running Wake island 2007 but when I try and connect i get invalid CD key! i will try and put my CD key in again with a key changer.

And before you ask, i have the original game.

Re: Patch 1.03 - invalid CDKEY

Did you do the following like me,

Install a copy of BF2 and use it to play single player until your orginal copy came in the post or bought it in the shop. Then use a keychanger to put in your orginal key to play online?

It could be that they have encrypted the key or it can tell if it has been changed even if you are using a 'bought key'

I think we might need to reinstall

I'd do a clean install without workarounds. Then patch to 1.03.

I uninstalled the whole game and choose to keep profiles. Then i did a reinstall and went straight to 1.03. Just played Wake Island 2007, nice and smooth gameplay

Going to rename my video files so the game loads faster

The All Seeing Eyes does not seem to work but i think there is a post on that.
I just set a filter for Wake Island 2007 and found lots of servers. I must say i normally go for servers in Scandinavia but this server had a ping of over 100 and the game ran very smoothly, so my first impressions of 1.03 are very good.
I could swear that there are new sounds for the Abraham's and jeeps

Have fun

Re: Patch 1.03 - invalid CDKEY

I have the same problem as you shafik. First uninstalled, delete everything that has to do with BF2 on harddisk and registry. Then install original game -> patch 1.03 -> Crash to desktop. Now, when I installed, ran the games in 1.00, then patched, I got in...but still CD-key issue.

Btw...fluffydice...did the patch work for you when you doubleclicked it? Or did you get the "patching failed" error?
