Purchaseing a new disc

Post by LeeChard »

I have an old disc which I got when the game was newly released.
I have problems loading it now.
If I bought a new copy and loaded it will I have conflicts with the old one or will it overwrite the old
activation code and allow me register the new one?

You can do a delete & full install of the new disk. Just be sure to save your saved games before you do, and you will have to patch up the new install. But that does not take to long.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

You could also try to apply to Matrixgames customer support for a download link. Your old serial should still work.

You might want to just change the name of the old folder in the Matrix game folder and create a new folder there with the appropriate name so the .exe can find it. Create a new shortcut for it as well. This way you don't lose your old stuff. I do this each time I download an up-to-date Beta.
