When I turned on the game today, it prompted me to use my key even though I already activated and install the game. So I entered my key, and it says it worked. But now it won't stop asking me to enter my key.

Can someone help me?

Do I have to reinstall my game now? And if I do, will I lose all my mods and progress in the career mode?

Ok.
So, you don't know if I will lose my progress or not?

I had a hard time unlocking those regions in the original map. That would suck to lose them. XD

Run your game as administrator by right clicking the application and select "Run as administrator". Then, put in your product key information and carry on!

Hi,

a) Save the whole 'Forward Development' before you even think about uninstalling or doing anything of the sort (this will keep your profile/achievements.

b) Mods: I created a folder where I put all of them in case they got deleted or an error occurred. I suggest you do the same as they cannot be saved otherwise if you uninstall, but you can then quickly re-install them.

c) If right clicking and clicking 'run as administrator' doesn't work, that's when support comes in... (although I doubt they will say anything else than what David02 said).

I hope your problem gets fixed,

Pierre A.

It still is prompting me to use the key. ):
And I just finished installing it, though I didn't uninstall it.
It took 3 hours.


And then a message popped up saying "the files are corrupt" or something like that.

And then the installer disappeared. ):

Are you using Vista? The same thing happened to me with it. But now I fortunately have Windows 8:cheer:

Nope I have windows 7.
I don't know how it got corrupted, but now I'm sad since it looks like it'll take all day to reinstall the game.
Based off my luck, it'll most likely say it's corrupted again when I install it.
The game won't let me delete the forward development folder from program files for some reason.
I have my mods and profile backed up, and I want the program completely from my system. I'm hoping that forward development folder is just from me downloading the game right now, and the folder is already on my system.
I'm not so sure though.

I'm praying what I am downloading is not just the game installer, and that when I open it up, I have to download the game from there.
Ugh this is annoying... qq
