After having played it two days, I can say that I'm not impressed either. I'm not impressed as my unlimited capability for getting shot to pieces!.
Ha! this is the answer I got from steam regarding my key being invalid.
So far not looking good...
There are two potential solutions for this problem.
1. Completely exit out of Steam, and relaunch Steam.
2. Run Steam as administrator
- If you are logged in, please exit Steam
- Navigate to the Steam installation folder (C:\Program Files\Steam\ by default) and right-click on the Steam.exe file
- Select Run as administrator...
Please let us know if these solutions work for you.
Ha:: I just got my answer: they want a screenshot of the issue
go figure: so I'll send them a shot of the message "Invalid CD Key"
They know whats going on !!!!!! our is certainly not the only "Invalid CD key"
Butt licks

Colander, I got the exact same reply as you. So I typed out the issue again and got this reply :
"Hello,

Isn't that a helpful answer...In both my mails with Steam they have handily ignored my suggested alternative of a refund and just pretended noting is wrong.
I guess their next step will be pointing us to EA support, then the circle is complete.
This is turning into true slapstick material.

As predicted their final solution is to send me back to EA, aka
"Go Back to Start, Do Not Pass Go"

Now they are telling me to:
1.- To install "Crysis Warhead" (which I don't have installed) to make "Crysis Wars" work.
2.- If 1 fails, contact EA.
I guess I'll give it a shot although I wanted to avoid another 2 day download on top of the new MWLL version download

You can start the Warhead install and pause it right away, from then on the "view game cd-key' option will be available and you can pretend Warhead is installed in your following correspondence.
No need to fully install something you don't need and it's CD-key is allready in your registry anyway as described by Watchman in post #21
edit : I wonder, do you have the same "support tech Sterling" handling your support?

Thanks!!!
No, "mine" is Jack but I'm sure they are following the same instructions that show up on their "help desk" software.
Funny thing is the following line from here https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...5806-YFGL-3427
You will need to contact the game's developer/publisher directly for support if you encounter any errors or unexpected behavior which is not related to Steam authentication or CD Keys after the game has loaded.

Ok, so I replied this:
Let's see what they reply nowFollowed instructions and I still get the error when connecting to 'Crysis Wars' servers over the internet.
As a matter of fact, the key shown on Crysis Warhead is the same entered originally in the ticket. This key is simply invalid and I request a new one ASAP.
Regarding contacting EA Support, your web site states, and I quote:
"You will need to contact the game's developer/publisher directly for support if you encounter any errors or unexpected behavior which is not related to Steam authentication or CD Keys after the game has loaded."
From: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...5806-YFGL-3427
This is clearly a CD Key issue hence it has to be resolved by Steam support.
I do not understand why is so hard to provide me with a new, valid key. If such a thing is impossible, I request either:
1.- A letter explaining the reasons in order to submit it to AE Support as mine is not the only case and AE support is redirecting the requests back to Steam Support.
2.- My money back on this purchase.
Question for the blokes in the know;
Is there a way of bundling up all the maps used on the two ATAG servers into one downloadable zipfile for us to bung straight into a folder somewhere?
Having to download them individually as they come up in the server cycle is the most frustrating part of the MWLL stuff - which at the moment I'm enjoying immensely by the way, even if I'm crap.
The map with all the grass and trees and mountains is my favourite so far.
If not, no biggie, but it'd be useful if poss.
Thanks chaps!
Update:
We cannot assist you with this CD Key issue, please contact EA.

http://216.52.148.29:7070/MWLL_Maps/TC_Urban_Jungle.zip
Now the one thing you have to realize is that these zips file directories are made to be downloaded through the game so what you need to do is extract each map to a separate place, copy and then paste the main map folder, like this example:
TC_AcidKotH.zip
1) Unzip TC_AcidKotH.zip to a separate place, once unzipped->
2) Find the folder named TC_AcidKotH and copy it then->
3) Paste it into the correct map folder in your game, in this case you would open up your game folder and the directory tree would be; Crysis Wars\Mods\mwll\Game\Levels\Multiplayer\TC. The TC folder has all the Terrain Control maps, which is where you would want to paste this into, if it had an abbreviation of TSA, you would paste it into that folder.
If your not sure, just open up your game folder and follow the directory tree above, you'll see all the other maps that the game uses.
S! WatchMan.

That's oh so good mate. Cheers!
Colander,
I got that same reply too. But after telling them I had allready contacted EA , who told me it was a steam problem. And telling them I had been a loyal customer for 8years , they finally gave me my money back.
So if you haven't yet, talk to EA about it and screenshot the conversation..with luck they'll help you and if not you can link the convo to steam and press on..eventually they'll cave in.
When contacting EA it's best to choose Crysis 2 as game btw..since then you can get live chat support ,which doesn't exist for crysis 1 anymore. Once you have someone on the line ,just explain the issue and see if they'll help (just don't get conned into installing Origin if you aren't using it yet).
The best part..Crysis and MWLL still work when launched via the .exe's. Pretty sure that's why Steam resists so hard when pressed for a refund.
This one is from EA support:
Just sent the screenshots. Let's see how it goes!Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.
