Whenever I go to play BioShock it asks me to register my key...

[TGHoplite]

I haven't run into any problems with it yet, but it's really annoying.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall, still asks, what should I do?
thanks in advance

I know this might sound dumb, and I'm sorry if it is, but have you tried registering your key? :confused:

[TGHoplite]

Oh golly, I never thought about that :rolleyes:

I register - go to play - finish playing and the next time i play it asks me to register again. It's annoying.

Okay so it's downloading the .exe after activating? And then letting you run Bioshock? But when you try to run it again it acts like it wants the serial key again to redownload the .exe? That seems really weird. Do you have any strange programs that stop things being installed/changing your registry etc. that you have to click "Accept/Confirm/OK" to, to allow the changes? (E.g. SB:S&D)

Does it keep your saved games? Or does it treat you like the game has never run before?

Also post your system specs.

I have SB:SD, but it's never interfered with games like this before, and I don't have it running when I play.
My saves are still there each time.

.......bump?

This is a terrible question, but where do I get my registration key? I haven't received anything, so I don't know what to do. I tried to enter in the number on the back of my booklet, and it's still not working. If anyone can help me please let me know what to do.

The support on this site is just marvelous.

@TGH If you really want help, try being a little more polite to the people trying to provide it. You should take into account that this game is fairly old and many people who used to provide support are no longer here.

Also if it's asking you every time you go to play it sounds like something the initial start up files is out of place. Have you changed anything in the .ini files? If not you I'm not sure what else to try, but I'm sure flaming people offering help won't get you anywhere.

@CTTE Yes the number on the back of your manual should be your registration key. What do you mean by It's not working, is it the same problem TGH is having?

You guys can lock this, move it, delete it or whatever. When I put the disk in and am greated with the splash screen it doesnt ask for the key, so I'll just open and close my drive when I feel like playing.
