So, I bought CZ and I installed it. I went to go play, and it asked me to put in my CD-Key. I typed in what was exactly on the case, a box came up saying "The CD-Key you entered is invalid."! I bought the game from Comp USA for $40, and now I can't play because the CD-Key on the CD case is invalid?! Someone help. :hmph:
 
hmm you are probably reading it wrong, make sure the letters are right like for example a V could look like a U, and a O can look like a 0, etc etc.
 
I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail. CD Keys are on eBay for like $15. Guy has good feedback too. Check it out!!!

Replace your copy.

Why would I buy a CD Key when I already spent $40 for a game that has a CD-Key?
 
Lol ray have you got caps lock on?
Ask for a replacement at the shop
 
No caps lock. I got the game from a store that is far, far away. It just picked it up because my dad stopped there to get something. Can anyone direct me to a key-gen? I bought the game. I could take a picture if you want.
 
I feel sorry if you bought CZ just for the CS:S beta.

That, and because I wanted to improve the graphics of CS. :|
 
Ray try a few p2p networks, irc. Google it. And keep trying out that cd-key

I'll be honest, i'm very tempted to buy CZ so i can beta Source. It's only £12.99 here, and it makes a change from CS online.

Yay! Someone with some sense. CZ isn't just for CS:S beta, it's worth it on its own. Although $40 is a bit steep

Odd, my CD key worked just fine. And I got an "Asia Pacific" edition off eBay. Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you typed it in right?
 
Send an email to Valve technical support with a picture of you holding the box and the cd key printed on the box.
 
yeah happend to me with FarCry, It took me 20 mins to unlock the game. As I remember L letter seemd to be just like I...............
 
wrong cd key or not you can always return it and exchange it for another copy.

my friend lost his cd key for a copy of half-life he bought and i think valve has some type of thing where you can send the game in for a new one too.
 
Yeah the sticker with the cdkey is a bit small, the numbers & letters are hard to read. Keep trying, there hasn't been a precendent for this situation so I'm sure the key should work.
 
GearBox didn't make Condition Zero. They were the original development team, but it was passed around 5 times.

GearBox > Raven > VALVe > Ritual > Turtle Rock Studios

The correct answer would be to e-mail VALVe, but I believe ray's fixed his problem

Ray, Key-gens dont work! The chance of getting a valid key are slim to none. Second, don't use a key-gen, just get off your butt and explain to compusa(or do the easy thing and just order it from steam instead)
