HI,

I installed of the disk and played for several hours last night, after a glorious win against the AI i descided to look for any patches that have been released.

I logged in to Stardock that merged a account with GameStop (messing around if your ask me but i did it) then I GameStop said that there is a patch available 1.44GB in total, so I downloaded it and installed it.

Today I came to play the game launched the launcher and clicked play now it asks me to register the game, I put in my StarDock username, password and serial number as requested and clicked Register (even tho its registered with stardock and shows as been registered on Gamestop, after ten mins of waiting I click quit and a error pops up saying "an error has occurred while activating the product" I have tried the following:

Running in administrators mode,

Compatibility modes xp SP2 and 3, Vista Sp1 and 2, Windows 7 and of course windows 8 that i am using now,

my machine is fairly new and can run all modern games on ultra settings, this game ran before the update so I dont know what the problem is..

any idea's? is there a alternate place to update the game from?
