6x4 Serial Key Problems (primarily from German re-sellers)

[Caba`drin]

Greetings all,

Just got word from the Developer Ragnor that indeed the serial key problems some have been experiencing where they have received 6x4 keys in the format of aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeee-ffff (which do not activate Warband) from retail purchases through Germain re-sellers such as Saturn or Amazon.de are due to a mix-up at the publisher, Paradox Interactive.

Please contact Paradox Interactive for a resolution to this problem. Either email their support staff at [email protected] or initiate a support ticket at https://paradox.zendesk.com/home

EDIT - this issue has spread to Steam-distributed keys. See this thread for further information:

Hi folks. We are aware of the situation and working on a solution right now. In the meantime if you could submit a ticket to Steam Support about your problem, this might help your problem get fixed faster.

I got news from Paradox:

Please contact our distribution partner Koch Media and they'll arrange for you to get a working key: [email protected]

I guess they are 'only' the german distributer and probably they mixed the keys up?

Fairly sure Scully was joking.
Glad to hear that they took care of it for you then. Gives me more confidence in handing out such advice in the future.
