well at least you got it sorted. i get the message "Invalid authentification key" which i don't understand!

The authentification key is the key you enter on first start up/ installation which allows you to run TDU. It is designed so people cannot copy the software illegaly, as each player needs their own personal key, which cannot be reproduced when it is pirated. Do you use a pirate copy? Or have you copied your game and given it to someone else? Unless you just entered it wrong then I think this is the only way that would happen.

 

This is all just guesswork by the way, as this has never happened to me so good luck with your problem, knowing TDU a few restarts usually works :D

You need to go into the 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data|Test Srive Unlimited' folder, and delete the CD-Key, and re-enter yours. Unless as speed says, you've used a pirate copy, and this will not work ;)

i don't know i think it might be a pirate copy but i don't know cos my dad gave it to me...

[Iced_Bullet]

Oh, well I can't help if it's a pirate :)

 

But go ask him

[99shill]
