Problem with Activating Modern Times
I recently purchased through the Kalypso Launcher and PayPal Tropico 4: Modern Times. It said if you're payment is successful (which it was I have a receipt), then the download should begin the next time you start your game. I have restarted the game 4-5 times and logged in and it will not start, just allows me to play Tropico 4 regular version. I have not been given any kind of activation code or promotional code and have no e-mails other than my receipt in any folder. Tropico's launcher simply doesn't recognize my purchase, which was completed. I have contacted support but wanted to ask the forums for some help also.

Hi,

where did you buy Tropico 4? (steam, boxed version)

I bought it through a download on Amazon.com. I have bought the DLC's Junta and Plantador through Kalypso and both have worked fine.

Contact support@kalypsomedia.com, stating your Kalypso Launcher account you purchased the content for and attaching both the Paypal receipt and purchase confirmation from the download website (launcher.kalypsomedia.com).

RE: Problem with Activating Modern Times
I appreciate that link but I'm not having that problem. I can't even download the game let alone install it. My problem is that when I start Tropico 4 it is supposed to start installing Modern Times and it simply won't do it. It worked with Junta and Plantador. I've already contacted support about it.

Where did you buy it from? @.o? I hope not from ebay used. Just so you know when you buy the game you buy the code and that goes with any game. If you buy a game without a code it means whoever sold it to you scammed you.

PS: There are some cases like GOG games that there is no serial for the games they distribute but that is because the actual games are old and do not require a serial.
