Habe mir Tropico 4 gekauft und sofort installiert. Habe wie vorgeschrieben, meine E-mail und mein Passwort eingegeben
und außerdem den Produktschlüssel. Nach mehrmaligen Versuchen bekomme ich immer wieder den Hinweis:
"Ihr Produkt-Keyist berteits in Benutzung! " Ich komme einfach nicht weiter?

Bedanke mich für die Hilfe!

War das Spiel original verpackt?

Please tell me that you guys are attempting to increase speeds for updating games via the Kalypso Launcher. I just purchased Tropico 4 and it has taken me almost 2 hours to download 137 mb patch, that is ridiculous. I downloaded the whole 4gb game from Amazon in 45 minutes this is just frustrating.

Verification process was a huge pain in the ass. It took me about 30 minutes of sitting here to register this game because the stupid email never came through. Why do you guys not want people to play your game? Oh? Is it because the developers have no say in this and its some dumbass business guy who decides that there need so be copy protection and registration on the game in order to play it? Is it because people who NEVER play games are the ones making the decisions? Well....If I could easily return this game because of the hassle, I would...I dont buy games to type my email and register stupid passwords in every goddamn site on the internet for fun. I dont even feel like playing this game anymore...too bad I already bought it.

And what about playing with Internet OFF? Most of games just want to get Serial Number then and you do not have to register.

Quote:... if your PC is offline:

- After install and when starting the game for the first time, you will be asked for your product key.

There is no user registration required in offline mode.

I bought the game to play on a plane where I won't have web access. As far as I can tell, I need web access to get the game started. How can I bypass this? If I know it will work without the web element, then I may consider buying the DLC as well.

You do not need to be online.
IF you are online while your first use you just have to set up an online account with email address and password (and type in the serial code). IF you are not online while your first use you just have to fill in the serial key.

And whenever you are not online the game will normally start. So you can play wherever you are.

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Been a fan since the very first Tropico game!

I bought the game from Amazon for my PC on Windows 7. I installed the game but it never went online or asked me to register. I also bought Modern Times from Amazon and it gave me the code but I don't have anywhere to enter the code. The game never goes online even though I'm connected to the internet. Can I please get some help?

I wouldn't advise it. I purchased the download, "special features" for Patrician and when something went wrong, what I do not know, couldn't ever use it again on the computer it was downloaded to. And my repeated emails went unanswered ... and my purchase price wasted.

Buy the disc -- or nothing.

No help from the seller at all.

Could Kalypso please add an option in the Launcher to "Skip registration/play offline"? It's pretty ridiculous that the only way to avoid having to create an account with you for my legally purchased Steam game is to disconnect my internet every time I play.

I'm getting pretty tired of having to submit my email address to every game publisher for every game I want to play, which provides more opportunity for spam and security risks.

If you will not add an option like that, then could you provide me with the IP addresses of your activation servers? This way I can add them to my firewall manually. Thank you.

set the launcher on the "black list" of your firewall...

but then you will get no more updates to every kalypso game...and spam? i registered two years ago and have recieved 8 mails since then...

Do you know how to add them to the black list on Windows Firewall? I am using Win XP Pro 32-bit and I don't see an option for a "blacklist" anywhere. I also have PeerBlock but I don't know what IP address Kalypso's servers are at.

And I won't mind the lack of Kalypso updates a bit. I can't imagine I'll ever own one of their games that isn't on Steam, anyway. I'm more worried about security than spam - having my email address out there with a hundred different companies is that many opportunities to have it breached.

every firewall should have point where you can manage the access of all *.exe. There you can allow or deny the access to the internet for each application. this is different to each firewall, so i can only describe it in general, sorry...

security issue:
1st maybe kalypso is too small to be interesting to be hacked. the possibility at Steam is much higher...
2nd i never use for registering games my normal email. you can have a lot email adresses, without any problem and manage them with tools like thunderbird. so if one of them got hacked, i dont have to care...

I guess it may not be possible with Windows Firewall then. If anyone else here knows a way to do this please let me know.

i know a lot of people using it and dont have problems like that, so it must be possible!
but i do not use it, so i cant help in detail, sorry

It could be that it's possible generally but not with the Kalypso Launcher specifically. I looked up online tutorials on how to prevent programs from accessing the internet in Windows Firewall. After following all of the instructions though, the Launcher still came up with the account creation screen when I ran it.

Some of those tutorials hint that many programs can bypass or rewrite firewall rules, so I would assume that's what Kalypso is doing. Ideally, if I can find the IP addresses for their servers, I can avoid all of the trouble.

The launcher seems to be very slow on downloads. Do you have any suggestions on changes that I can make to speed up my d/l speed? I've disabled my a/v and firewall to no avail. It is taking me over 6 hours to download modern times (for the 3rd time). The downloads (the 3 that I have tried) have been on different days and times over the last 10 days, there seems to be no difference on the d/l speed based on the various day/times I have tried. I normally only take 45 mins for a file that size (645M).

Is there a site where I could go and download the add-on file separately? This would at least allow me to play tropico 4 while downloading; as it is now I can only download the add-on, or pause it to play.

Many thanks, Dave

Hello,

I bought dungeons the dark lord, but the game is not english and the options are not working properly so that I can change it. It said in the forums that it is fixed in the update but I can not update the game.

Everytime I launch the game, there are some trailers which I pass. Then I enter my pass and name and the only option I get is launch the game. The game does not update automatically infact it is 1.1.1 version right now.
Is there a solution to this problem, the game is unplayable for me right now.

Thanks alot

Is there any way to bypass the Kalypso launcher screens by automatically logging in?

It already knows all the credentials. When I click on the desktop icon I want the game to start and not a launcher to annoy me with a log in prompt that is already filled anyway, and even a second button to start the game. Please add auto-login functionality, or if it exists, simply tell us the launcher.ini line.
And no, I don't want offline mode, I just want the launcher to do what it does automatically with requiring senseless user interaction.

It's only one additional click. Besides, the Launcher windows offers functionality for redeeming DLC codes for additional content.

Hello, I am also not receiving the confirmation email after registering through the launcher (Tropico 4). I have requested the email to be resent several times but no luck. I am in Australia and my provider is Bigpond, my ISP does not block emails and I received the confirmation email for these forums almost immediately. Any help would be apprciated

If you are planning to purchase any of our future titles, you can get the registration process out of the way now and use your credentials to log right into the game one release day.

Site appears to be in need of an update or "script overhaul" as it says that :
"You are using an unsupported and old version of Internet Explorer (Version 7)- please upgrade at least to version 8.0 or use an alternative browser such as Firefox, Opera or Chrome. "
Even though I ofcourse already have I.E.8 installed..
