Twincats Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I bought a sealed copy of Halo 2 Vista off of Amazon back in 2013, but never got around to it--partially due to the fiasco with the servers shutting down. But I've seen a few recent threads on this forum with members proclaiming the servers are still up, so I installed GFWL, got Tinker to work fine and then installed Halo 2, the Dedicated Server and the Map Editor. Everything was smooth until I signed in at the main menu. I got this notice: http://i.imgur.com/5FSLeKf.png So I searched online for some answers, eventually trying many product keys from pastebin and such, but to no avail. I got this notice: http://i.imgur.com/xJljiA3.png Finally, I tried keygens and patches as a last ditch effort, but the result was still the same. It wants a damn product key. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you work around this? I've read a few reports that calling customer service helped, though I have not tried this yet. Can anyone elaborate on this? I've reinstalled Halo 2 three times now, trying different methods (entering the product key in the installer, waiting to enter the product key in-game, creating an offline account to start the game up with then switching to my live profile, etc). This is getting extremely frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeldafanjtl Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I had the same problem when I bought the game about a year ago. I came across a YouTube video that some guy had put up on how to pirate the game and applied his techniques to my legit copy. It basically involved installing a registry file that made the game accept any product key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
