Activation issues

[Strikh]

Same here. Bought it at Walmart. Fancy cardboard box, but inside is a plain black cd case. Only thing inside that is the disk. No paper, no activation code...

A little more info:

It is a single disk that contains King's Bounty: Armored Princess and the King's Bounty: Crossworlds expansion.

Looks like WallyWorld is selling incomplete copies.

OK, I've read through more threads here, and I see that one person had issues AFTER installing the patch...

So, I've uninstalled the game, and am in the process of re-installing it. I guess I'll try starting an unpatched game, then try applying the patch afterwards.

Really frustrating spending half a day trying to get a game to work, though, with no real hope of success.
:angry emoticon here:

Ayep. Game ran "fine" at first. I saved it, then installed the patch I got from the "Official Site" --- Crossworlds_1.0.0.1.exe

I tried restarting the game, and got the garbage about entering activation codes that I never received.

Should I bother uninstalling (again) and re-installing (again) and forgo the patch?

Is my game just going to inevitably crash? I'll be PO'd if so...
