Hi all
I have been getting some PMs from various players saying they are having problems logging in with 'CD key in use' messages or something similar, but not all the time.
Well I just downloaded the player DataBase from the server to find out what is going on and well I think we have a bit of a problem.
A total of 38 different accounts of different players are using the same CD key. On googling the public CD key in question, it seems that this key is some generic key that gets distributed when the game is bought on Good Old Games (gog.com) AND if on purchase those people have not requested a unique multi-player key.
So if anyone one of those 38 accounts are logged in on that key, then the other 37 will probably not be accessible.
To be honest I am not sure I can do about this - I don't know if it is possible to go back to GoG and request a key for those effected (according to some other threads this should be possible).
If you google Q7RREKF3 (the public key in question) you will find more about it, or check these threads which also mention it:
