hey guys, thanks for the advice. I have reinstalled the game and i am hopeful that it will work on one computer. But I agree with some of you though, for an LAN game it really shouldn't be so harsh. Oh well, i'll just have to get my bro to buy another copy a little later.
I emailed bohemia interactive support and they asked me for my CD key and they said the following:
"Hello,
please send us cd keys so we can look at parameters of keys and see if we can revert them, regards
"
I think i'll send them the game key if FADE kicks in.
Once again, thanks for all the advice. Really like the comment about the cops being called :eek:
