If possible I would like some clarification as to how the "Fade Message" is caused in the chatboxes when players connect to a dedicated server.

There are three trains of thought in our forums

a) When two players are on the server with the same ID number, it is triggered for the second player

b) If the clients installation has been corrupted and requires a complete reinstall

c) Or a combination of A & B.

Also, our server is wanting to Ban the 6787 ID, due to the fact it is a cracked number.

However some of our regular players use this ID number because they say (And i believe some of them) that they have lost their CD Key (Instruction Book)

So, prior to us banning this ID , could you please explain the costs involved , timescale and procedure to be followed so that they have a chance of getting a new CD key

Thanks

2 people using same serial number results in fade message.

If someone has lost their serial number they should contact Codemasters and providing they can prove they have indeed bought the game they should be given a new serial number.

These are topics that have been covered many times in the past if you'd searched.

Moving to MP and then closing.
