Scourge of War Boards

I just bought Gettysburg this morning from the Naval Warfare Store,and am having what is apparently a very common problem with activitation; my game cannot talk to the registration server.I tried the methods in the stick thread on that problem, and no luck.
I just emailed support with all the necessary info, but when I hit send I got kicked back to the "Contact Support" webform.Is this normal, or is this another problem?
I paid what is for me a lot of money for the game, and I would like to be able to play it.
I am on the verge of disconnecting my computer from my DSL line and try the manual method,but will wait to see if I get a reply from Tech Help.

Did you install the patch?

Downloading the patch right now.
I did get a "we received your message"response from Tech support,so that's ok.

Installed the patch. same problem. I tried registering with my anti virus and firewall off, still got the "Can't talk to registratiion server" message. I don't know what else to do. I am beginning to feel I made a bad mistake in buying the game.

No idea why that would happen, but we are prepared! There is a way to activate without talking to the server. It's done through email and there's directions in the activation dialog, as well as the email that you need to send.

Which anti-virus are you running? With some, such as AVG and Norton, pressing the disable button doesn't always disable all of it, only part of it.

I did the manual install, and I am up and running!

Hi.

As always top of the line service.

Cheers.
