this is just a quick question as I just recently purchased this game and even more recently installed it.
I was just wondering if it is normal for the game to ask me for my authentication key every time I start up the game.
also, i am getting a laptop within the next couple of weeks, and i want to put defcon on it. can i use the same key for putting it on there?

Re: quick authentication key question
Not by design. It's a permission problem: it tries to store the key in the program directory, and that is no longer allowed on Windows 7. Running the game in XP compatibility mode helps, it is said.01011000 wrote:I was just wondering if it is normal for the game to ask me for my authentication key every time I start up the game.

I suggest you launching Defcon.exe with admin rights at least once (right-click on .exe file - "Run with administrator privileges" or something like this), or disabling uac. I think first option should do it, and there is no need in compatibility mode.
