IT would be interesting to see if anyone here bought the same key. Maybe you guys could post the first four digits ONLY of the keys you bought.

I got sick of waiting for a cracked release. I really want this game.

If you try an invalid, or pre-registered key, the error is different. So no, it's not that.

Download. Extract. Burn. Install. Copy crack. Play.


=Retail release=

Install. Insert legitimate serial key. Wait. Server error. Try again. Manual way. Wait more. Try again. Check firewall. Email "tech support". Try again. Reboot router to get new IP. Wait more. Try again. Fail.




Now let's watch the elitist pricks jump in to defend Atari and their "IP" Rolling Eyes


Did you expect that retail release would be better? Very Happy
Nice fishing there by Atari.You pay 18E for some numbers e-mailed to you and wait to make it work with your downloaded content..
If retail boxed game with full manual was between 20E-23E then ok.18E for fucking digits it's ridiculous.

It would probably work fine if he hadn't tried to pirate it first. Honest customers don't have those issues.

If the IP is the problem, try activate through a proxy?

Who knows... maybe even anonymize.to would work...

Huh? I got banned several times when fooling around with activations and different serials (Site timeouts or rejects connection.) all I had to do was wait a while and then it worked as intended.

I'll see what I can do, might work if I post the address used for manual activation and then you just input your data and serial and paste it to activate manually if the main server rejects you. Smile(EDIT: Won't be needed as it's created locally or how to say it.)
(EDIT: But go to the "C:\ProgramData\Tages\100663362" folder and remove the other files aside from serial.txt containing the proper serial number just to clear previous data.)

Not that far into the game, remade Butcher Bay is nicely done and Dark Athena has a similar feel but is a bit more action oriented though stealth is a viable option.

For those that assume I hammered the activation server and thus got banned due to a dodgy key; I didn't. I tried activating ONCE, it was refused, I never tried again.

@JB

Thanks man. You're a star as always.

I added some info to my above post that you could try to get the server connecting properly.

Basically after leaving only the serial text file try a manual activation (That "I don't have a active internet connection" option) and it should allow you to access the data. (Click the link and get the file from the generated page.)

Heh, good to hear that you solved it, hope you enjoy the game so that it was worth the price of purchase. (And buying just a serial is a bit cheaper than full retail copy.)

Oh I've no doubt I'll enjoy it, bud! I *loved* the original - and I can't wait to play the "sequel" too. I just wish it didn't have that nonsense activation crap :-\


Bottom-line: Onlinecdkeys = RULE. €18 for a legit key.
Atari = Fucking sucks and I can't wait for them to go into liquidation.

Strange issue there Sabin, works here with the official 9.4 drivers, SSAO causes a bit of a performance hit though as Crossfire doesn't seem to be enabled yet.
(I can find a workaround though, perhaps renaming the EXE to the Butcher Bay one, it's basically the same - albeit enhanced- engine.)

If you use Vista I do hope you use "Run as administrator" or have UAC disabled as that can interfere with the game, also try deleting the config file or hand editing it to solve the problems. Smile

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Atari\The Chronicles of Riddick - Assault on Dark Athena\Environment.cfg

Most options are self explanatory. Smile

EDIT: Are you using the patch by the way?
(Fixes some stuff so do try it, probably doesn't make a huge difference to compatability though.)

EDIT: Own config file.
Code:

DEFAULTGAME=PB
SND_ENABLE=1 <- Sound on/off
SKIPINTRO=0 <- Skip intro, still plays logo videos though.
XWC_GAME=PB

VID_BRIGHTNESS=0.500000 <- Brightness gamma and something else.
VID_BLACKLEVEL=0.500000

VID_VSYNC=0 <- Vsync
VID_MODE=1680 1050 32 60 <- Resolution, bit depth, refresh rate
VID_DWIDTH=1680 <- Edited, default window resolution
VID_DHEIGHT=1050
XR_CHARSHADOWS=1 <- Shadows
XR_SHADERMODE=11
R_ANISOTROPY=1.000000 <- Anisotropic filtering amount, goes from 0.x to 1.0
VID_GAMMARAMP=0.000000
DEFAULTGAMEPATH=Content
VID_CABLEPROFILE=0
CON_INVISIBLE=0 <- Enable or hide the console window
XR_LODOFFSET=-1000000.000000
XR_MOTIONBLUR_DOF=1 <- Motion blur and depth of field
R_BACKBUFFERFORMAT=4194304
