Direct 2 Drive question

Fitz62STG · 04-07-06, 07:25 AM

Howdy everyone. I need to do a fresh reinstall of SHIII, but I have run out of authorized installs on my D2D version of the game. How do I get more installs available to use? I remember there being a topic about it awhile ago, but cannot seem to find it. If I would have known about this whole limited install thing prior to purchasing the game I would have just drove my happy butt to the store and bought the game or ordered it online and waited until it showed up. But, I wanted to play right then and am now suffering the evils of D2D. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As many times as you like. As stated above, remember your game is for you alone. Each time you install it you deactivate any previous licenses.

Always been wondering if that goes for d2d SHIII too. Did you do official un-installs ?

Haven't done an uninstall yet. Was just on the gamespy site looking at all of the stuff I am going to do an uninstall now and see what happens. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that it works with the keycode I have. If not I will have to start sending some very evil email over to gamespy about it.

Reinsalled with no problem what so ever. The new install is far above what I had last time. I have put in a new graphics card and "BOY HOWDY" it's fantastic. I had the new card in with the new install, but for some reason the fresh install seems to have brought out better features. Don't know what it is, but I like it.

Currently doing a career that started in January 1940 in a Type IXB U-110 in the 2nd Flotilla. Keeping my fingers crossed for luck.

So bottom line.... Didn't need to get in touch with D2D even though it said last time I installed that it was my last.......

Thanks for the replies.
