Just bought this game at the store and now I cant run it.

from Elemental Forums

So I just bought this game and it looks amazing.  When I tried to run it it says the game is not available and for me to come to this website.  Well, I am here and see nothing about why it is "not available" even though it is on my computer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can enjoy this game.

Well...I'm not sure where that is comming from if you bought a game that was sold before its street date...ie not available yet, you really dont havea  leg to stand on.

No. If he bought the game but cannot play it because it's the 22nd and not the 24th then what is preventing him for playing is DRM.

If you load up Impulse and use your serial # you can download the latest retail release version and it will work.  That is how that person on YouTube got it to work.

That's kind of what I was wondering.  I thought the disc was supposed to have no DRM?  Then why can he not install it and play it?

The retail boxed version should work without ever seeing the internet at all right?

Well I have since seen the video and i noticed he downloaded it where as I installed it off of the CD.  I did put in my serial number but that still didnt work.  I have now deleted it and am downloading it to see if that makes a difference.  I didnt mean to cause I problem, I just came confused and found myself in the middle of something.  I know you guys have bigger stuff going on then my garbage, I was just concerned at first that my serial number was stolen or something else was wrong but now I see it is just in the middle of a release and there is all kinds of stuff happening.  I will post what happens with the download, however the baby just woke up and the wife just woke up so I will have to see if I can lull them to sleep later ;)
