Josh's journey through poetry, humor, life and inspiration.
Published on July 2, 2012 By webnavigator In Bug Reports

I bought my Galciv 2, Dark Avatar, Twighlight all seperately from the Impulse app (way back then) now Gamestop. I redownloaded them via the Gamestop app. Now... it says that I can't use the metaverse etc as I haven't registered... I go to https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products and it tells me to download from Gamestop.

 

I already went into the folder to try the "SD Activate" and that doesn't work.

If you purchased them prior to the sale of Impulse to GameStop then they should already be registered on your account here. Shoot support@stardock.com an email and they should be able to help track down the problem.

They should... but when I open the game and try to click "metaverse" it tells me there's nothing in the registry x.x

Figured it out, deleted sig.bin in regular gc2 folder + C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Twighlight and used that whole gc2ulitimate.zip download / extracted into the Wighlight folder. Hooray now stardock account registration is finally showing up. (Funny this happened to me in November of 2011 and it's STILL an issue with everyone lol...)

I just wanna say that deleting sig.bin solved my problem.  My debug.err looked like this:
