Banned

Sat Sep 11, 2004 9:42 pm

I just downloaded the new patch... tried to join and it says I'm banned. I'm guessing this is from that banning a while ago that was never cleared up. So what happens?

Gimme the first 5 digits of your cd hash and Ill look into it.

It said the registry lookup doesn't work, but I don't think I have the case anymore. The first five from the lookup are 37a5b.

I dont see it in there any where......I dont know what to tell you if you dont have the case anymore. Any ideas anyone?

you can find your cd key using regedit.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield Vietnam\ergc

then plug that into the cd key hash generator and give us the first 5.

When I go under EA Games, I only see 1942 and the two expansions... I can see the ergc for them, but Vietnam is under another directory?

Vietnam should be by default in the same directory.

in the registry, i have separate folders for 1942, rtr, sw and vietnam. could it be that your game is no longer associated with a cd key?

I'd reinstall the game.

If he doesnt have the case anymore that might be kinda hard.

Have you tried doing a registry search for "Vietnam"?

I just uninstalled it... I searched for vietnam in the registry before and there was only the two listings under the EA games folder and not the Electronic Arts/EA games. I'm going to look in my car and some of my boxes, but I have a feeling I threw it away. If all else fails I think one of my brothers isn't using his. Thanks for the help anyway.
