Game registration - problems and solutions here

[reignfyre]

WOW! I can't believe this is still a problem. I had same problem back in March and tore my hair out trying to fix it. Eventually gave up, tried a few weeks later and it magically worked.

I registered on my Windows XP gaming laptop. I built a new desktop PC with Windows Vista x64 and it's saying I haven't registered. How do you register again? I thought you can only register 1 time with your serial key.

Just go through the registration process again (from the game launcher menu), you'll need to enter the cd key again, but it should work after that.

This doesn't seem to be working for me. I get to the point in registration where I put my activation code (I purchased through digital download) and it doesn't give me the option to send, and I'm stuck at that point in the registration.

Ok, so I had the "You must enable cookies" error when trying to register this on my brand new pc. I tried everything in this post and nothing fixed it. I tried in both XP and Vista (dual boot pc) and still nothing. I've been trying to fix the problem for about five hours. I finally just loaded it on my old pc (with its heinously restrictive firewalls, ad-block, excess of virus scanners, the works.) and it went through, no problems, on the first try :wall:Then I just exported the registry file from [h_key_current_user] [software] [cd projekt red] [The Witcher]. Slapped it on a thumb drive, took it over to the new pc and imported the registry. That seems to have done the trick. So if you have another pc you might see if you have better luck registering there and exporting the registry key.Right now it's installing, fingers crossed nothing else pops up.Additional info, both pcs used Firefox 3.0 (also tried IE on the first pc), both had win xp, both ran the same ad-block, no-script extensions. Both had the same cookie restrictions and security (sorta, my old pc actually has stronger restrictions for cookies than the new one). Both had the program installed to the same directory root:\games. So I have absolutely no idea why it worked on one and not the other. ???

Hi FolksI have looked all over my manual and I don't have a registration code anywhere. Am I just missing it? Is it hidden somewhere? I need to register to get the new patch going. Please help

@Kodega where exactly i find this registry file? i didnt get it.

If the game has been successfully registered on another pc, and you need to copy the registry file, do the following.Click on start, then run. Type in "regedit" without quotes and hit ok. Windows might give you a bunch of warnings about manually editing the registry, just click ok through them. Click the + button next to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" then "Software" then "CD Projekt Red". If the game has been successfully registered there will be two folders one is labeled "Witcher" with bindings and settings, ignore this folder. The other one is labeled "The Witcher", this is the one you want. Left-click on the folder, click on "Export" and it will bring up a standard save screen, name the save to whatever you want (it should end in .reg). Then simple move the saved file to a new computer, double click on it to add it to your registry. Again you might get a bunch of warnings about editing the registry, just ok through them.

wohoooooo it works! that is really awesome. thank you Kodega !

I am going crazy here, trying to install the patch. It told me to register the game, so I go through the trouble of registering (Canadian version of the game, you know), and now it's telling me I still need to register. I just DID register. I have the email confirming I registered.What the HELL.

I can confirm this to work. Just install the game on a separate computer that allows the register.exe to bypass the cookies problem and then follows the steps above.

Installation is not required. It is enough to transfer the "register.exe" and the folder "register" to another computer.

I buy this game for month and had fun..But i can't register this game since I installed. It shows "Can't find register server" always..I can't find other way to register my ID.. how to do?Now I download 1.4 patch but it doesn't work without registering...any GM can relpy me ?I am in Taiwan

 

[kelticpete]

i regiestered the witcher. and then when my computer crashed and had to be redone totally, I re-registered the witcher (which was a real pain). anyway, I am playing it, so I don't see how it is not registered.but the TWEE program will not run itself past a certain point because it says I need to register the witcher.i decided..why not comply. so i re-registered the witcher. again. and now it got past that point. to the point where a little box that says angiavare (sp) NOT REPONDING pops up (after I enter my username and password..)[mod]use the EDIT button[/mod]

I noticed that you can download the EE patch from other sites without registering your game. Is this the same as EE you get from here? Does it add the new dialog and whatnot?

 

[drizzt87]

You will have to register your copy when you install the game. There are no different versions. You get the same stuff. :angel:

 

[madpaddy]

The patch will not install unless you have registered your game beforehand mate.

Hello.I've just registered the game successfuly with my CD-Key. But when I start the 1.4 Upgrade, I am told that I have to register the game first (what I alread did).In the Witcher-Launcher, the registration button ist "grey" which means, I can't register again because I am already registered.I'm logged in as well and have my firewall turned off. Nevertheless, the same error message continues to show up.Does anyone know how to get rid of this mess?I'm using Windows Vista and have the German Steelbook Edition of the game.
