When i start the game it tells me that my cd key is invalid and i have to reinstall my game and re enter my cd-key.

I DO have an original copy of the game, it is not pirated. i only got the game a couple of days ago and have been enjoying it offline, due to lack of an intenet connection, (i write this from my friends computer) My friend gave me this mod on a cd, so i installed it ran it, and got the above.

Is there a way i can make the game run without checking the cd key, or am i stuck at not being able to run the mod

Why is my cd-key aid to be invalid?

what was the cd he gave you? was it made by ut or copied?

if it was made by ut it could have been from a different edition of the game thus explaining why your key doesnt work, if not then i dont know.

either way, i would suggest a reinstall.

but i dont think it could have been a ut disc because i didnt think chaos was on the ut04 2-disc edition for 2004.

it was a cd rw with the zip file of the chaos ut mod

i really dont want to reinstall cos i have a huge amount of mods that would otherweise have to be re-dl, im talking about 18 gb

ah...... well, im sorry have no ideas but im not one of the team and have no idea so dont give up hope yet.

and 18 gigs? thats a lot! you must have a massive hd.

well sorry but i cant see how this happened, CUT2 shouldn't cause that, did you do anything else around the same time?

do you have all the installer files for the mods? i archived all my installers on a different computer so i can reinstall my 5gigs of mods in about 20 mins.

i didnt do anything else at the same time, i think the game has a line of code somewhere that makes it check the cd-key against something, but i dont know what it checks it against as i have no internet.

I suppose only someone from the team can help me with this.

Thanks for trying though
