Failed Activation

Post by bscottskangum »

I run Windows 7.
Windows firewall is turned off.
Running the game as an administrator.

Don't know if it will affect it, but when I played the multiplayer demo I had to go to my router and manually forward the port to host a game.

The error pop up box I'm getting is "Activate: SOWGB failed activation. User Code:550892"

Also, I have checked to see if my code is valid, it is, and it has 1 activation out of 1 total left.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Please try again, apparently the activation server was totally overloaded with everyone trying to activate at once. Capacity has been increased so this problem should be reduced.
