Hi,
I bought Mount & Blade sometime back in July, I think. I've played it often though not for the last month or so. Today, I downloaded the .703 patch and reinstalled the game (on a new Windows install). Installed the patch and then tried to activate using my serial key... but it won't let me.
Every time I try to activate it, it says that it's unable to connect to the activation server. Trying the manual activation does nothing as both Firefox and Internet Explorer tell me there's nothing there - the site is dead.
Please help? I really want to play again and see what changes have been made (last time I played the game, it was with the .60x something patch). Here, in case anyone asks, are my pc's specifications.
AthlonXP 2500+ Barton
MSI K7NG2 nForce2
1GB PC2700 DDR
20GB HD (M&B is installed on this)
120GB HD
120GB External HD
Radeon 9800 Pro
WindowsXP Professional, Service Pack 2
I have a 56k connection to the Internet, and the connection is just fine... I just played World of Warcraft a few minutes ago. Yet, I still get the "can't access the activation site" from Mount & Blade.
