Well here's the deal:

I'm having that serial problem that a lot of people seem to have. Here are the the stats:

1) When the error comes up, one thing i find strange is that the SID; is equal to 0.
2) Yes I've tried playing both with and without the TFD Patch.
3) Yes I've tried changing the registry file by adding the 0 (woldata0.key or something).
4) I've been looking all over the forums here and elsewhere and everyone seems to be fine with just changing the registry entry. So i'm guessing mine has to do something with that SID being 0. If it is how do I fix it?
5) If it's not, how do I fix it?

I really wanna play this game online guys, I primarily paid 60 buks to play just renegade with a friend of mine and i've spent the past 5 or so hours fiddling with this thing. Can anyone help at all? Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Oh, and BTW, I know they say that you don't have to register with the little new account thing, so I'm guessing that is the reason that it won't send me a verification email? Can someone verify or deny this pls? Thx.

I can only say that you don't need to register as the first time you log in with an unused login into Xwis, it registers it for you.

So yes, that's right. Smile


You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

have you tried a different nickname? If your username is already taken it will not actually tell you your password is wrong (which it will be if someone already registered your nickname with their password)

Why the hell did you pay 60 bucks for TFD and not just 5 bucks for Renegade alone?

Well, I wanted to relive the old games again, since C&C is probobly the first computer game i've ever played. So I kinda owe my allegiance to gaming to C&C haha. Anyways, this is still annoying. I've tried running C&C: Generals now and it still isn't working. Same problem. WTH is going on. *Cries*

Edit: And yes, I've tried probobly 10 different WORKING nicknames (about 100 alltogether >.<)

That's normal.

What patch?
And what is the full error message?

Doesn't TFD cost 'just' 30 USD?

30-50 USD, not sure though. But there are more then enough C&C sets out there for 5-10 USD.
