CD-Key lost, help!

Recommended Posts

Hello, first of all, sorry if Im posting this on the wrong place, if so, please redirect me, and second, sorry about eventual errors on my spelling, I dont speak english so well. Anyway, lets go to my problem: I bought Arma:II and Arma:2 Operation Arrowhead from Steam, with the intent of playing the mod DayZ. Everything went well, until some hackers started to show up and kill players, and I died because of then more than once, losing hours of gameplay. Then I decided to also download a hack, with the intent of defending myself from these assholes, but it ended up being a virus that stole my CD-Key, changing it for one probably banned or invalid, because every time I try to enter a server, it gives me the "Bad serial" message. I know nobody will believe that I didnt have bad intentions, I dont even wanna try to get the CD-Key back, what I want to do is buy the game again on steam, but the problem is that it thinks I already have it, and dont let me buy it for myself. Please help me find the solution to this.

Thanks.

Buy yourself a new copy and consider it a lesson learned.

First of all can you retrieve your old cd key back with a verify integrity of game cache?

If not and your registry key is still the bad one, you won't be able to enter a new one even if you buy it.

Contact Steam support, or use another email to create a new Steam account.

As Harzach said, lesson learned. Next time stop downloading hacks just because some other people do so and ruin your game.
