Hi,
I downloaded the new patch version 1.06 and now on trying to connect to PBEM it is saying ' invalid serial number ' I did download the new War in the Americas DLC yesterday if this has anything to do with it? I did obviously put in the serial number for that. Solutions ??????
Regards
Harry

I also have that problem. I get that the serial number is invalid. Solutions please.

A fix is in the works, hopefully it will be released soon!

Note, the issue should only affect PBEM, and only Matrix purchases. If anyone is experiencing anything that doesn't fit those criteria, please do let us know.

is this patch for " wars in the America's" or the main game, civil war?

It includes changes for both.

I only ask, because when I went to install it, it asked which game. The main game or the DLC

Hopefully you've got it installed ok now?

I haven't installed it yet, as I do not know which one to choose. When I begin the install process, it it gives me two choices, the main game or the DLC

Hi,

The Matrix update is an all in one installer, so hopefully the following helps to clarify things, in a nutshell it will:

- update the base game by default if you select nothing

OR

- install the DLC and update the base game at the same time


If you've purchased the DLC, you'll have a serial number and you can apply it in the 'Activate Serial' box (after you've selected the DLC to install from the dropdown list).

If you've already installed the DLC then you should see two products listed as Activated, and can just click Next on that particular screen.

Hopefully this helps,
Hubert
