Kula66 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Posted April 7, 2005 If I reinstall, does it use one of my activations? James
2IAEFulcrumbg Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 LOL, I've got the same worries mate, after installing it over 1.02, I have read the quick Install advice , and now I don't even dare to think about reinstall !
Kula66 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Posted April 7, 2005 Yep ... why is that the honest customer gets shafted by copy protection systems?
DayGlow Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 or you could actaully try reading. How many times has it been re-affirmed that you can install the game as many times as you like, that you only have to re-activate only if over 40% of your hardware changes?

2IAEFulcrumbg Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I know ! :( I've got Radeon 9600 , a friend of mine recently bouth GF 6600, and he told me that LOCKON is running superbly with this GF6600, my DVD-ROM is 3 years old , , just changed the PSU , because the old one broke, just Play and Pray , that's what we have left ! :D
2IAEFulcrumbg Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Thanks DayGlow ! :) I'm going to make fresh install from A to Z , right now ! ;) Cheers mate ;)

DayGlow Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 ..has anyone mention the procedure for reactivation? Not that I know of, and I'm interested in that as well. "It takes a big man to admit he is wrong...I'm not a big man" Chevy Chase, Fletch Lives 5800X3D - 64gb ram - RTX3080 - Windows 11

DayGlow, your stupid and unadequate advice, cost me 1 activation ! Activation Key has been received successfully. Your Activation Key is valid within a period 07 Април 2005 г. - 17 Април 2005 г.. Activations left: 3 Even if you reinstall, it is the same thing , so if you try to play with the settings, try any tunning or whatever , and something goes wrong -that's it ! Need to reinstall/reactivate again ! Sooooooo.............disapointed !
aceflier Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Just what I was afraid of even more disapointing is the 40% hardware change that if you lock-up and have to clear your cmos and overclock your processor you are going to run out of activations pretty quickly. Upgrade your video card, add some ram, how about adding a dvd burner? Bah!! "Lockon modern hardware combat" Flamming credit cards lol. I'm just joking but some of these things are truly uncalled for for trying to play a game. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
DayGlow Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 How does o/c change your cpu id? Or clearing your cmos? I've o/c many a machine under windows xp, crashed them, had to reinstall multiple times without a hitch.

Alfa Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Downloaded ok, installed ok, ran ok ... hurrah! ... once! Removed demo, changed a couple of options ... now fails to load with 'C++ run time error! abnormal program termination' HELP ED! James This error occurs because you removed the demo after having installed 1.1. To fix this problem do the following: Go into the Lock-on 1.1 parent folder and start up 1.1 by double clicking the lockon.bat file located there. This will update your windows registry, and afterwards you can run 1.1 via the normal shortcut :) - JJ. JJ
aceflier Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 How does o/c change your cpu id? Or clearing your cmos? I've o/c many a machine under windows xp, crashed them, had to reinstall multiple times without a hitch. How because my cpu is 333mhz fsb i overclock it to 400mhz its an amd2800+ overclocking 400fsb makes windows show it 3200+@2.4ghz. When the game freezes up many times i have to clear my cmos and load bios defaults of 100mhz fsb windows then shows it as an athlon 1.6ghz. Dont ask me how ask Bill Gates. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
DayGlow Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 it still doesn't change the cpu id. You can jump your clock rate all over the place and it won't change. "It takes a big man to admit he is wrong...I'm not a big man" Chevy Chase, Fletch Lives 5800X3D - 64gb ram - RTX3080 - Windows 11
Cosmonaut Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Its not Dayglow’s fault that’s what ED and the SF reps led us to believe. Ok so now there could be two issues. 1. Does over clocking your CPU count as a 40% hardware change which will use up an activation? 2. Just reinstalling 1.1 will also use up an activation?? I mean that just cant be true .. can it? Cozmo.

Guest ruggbutt Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 It says 4 left after the first install, then it's 3 as shown in this thread.
2IAEFulcrumbg Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 And If could someone explain this, that would be great ! :( Is anyone else have it ? It happens to me every time I start the game ! My english is not my native, so may be is just common message "!?
