Thanks. Fixed the install issue.

I bought a boxed edition of Iron Front. Now it is updated to patch 1.02. The game ran fine as version 1.60. However, after the patches, whenever I try to launch it, it wants to take me to a Koch Media GmbH website (Deep Silver) that wants me to enter my "Unlock Code". When I installed the game it asked me for my game code which was supposedly printed on my game manual. It wasn't. It was printed on another piece of paper and there it was titled, "GameSpy Code". Now, I am trying to enter the GameSpy code and the Deep Silver website which is supposed to "unlock" my game won't recognize it. It would be nice if all of these were called the same thing, so I would know what the heck I am looking for. You know, I am beginning to think I don't have 10 hours of my life to spend trying to get a game running anymore. This stuff is forcing me out of the computer game market. So, why can't I get my "Unlock Code" to work? And where the heck is it? If it is the "GameSpy" code, do I use the hyphens ("-") or not? When I entered the code in the game, it didn't require them. I am getting pretty tired of this.

What does the 3D resolution setting do? Is the game playable in 3D? I am confused. If I cannot play in 3D, what should I be setting it on to minimize load on my 2D play? How can I turn 3D off? I don't see that option.

I just installed the game, entered the "GameSpy Code" and played around in it for a while. It worked. Without any patch installed, it says I am running version 1.60.000. Then, hoping to fix some of the problems I was seeing, I downloaded the patch 1.02 and installed it. Well, I tried to install it. A window popped up that informed that it was trying to patch version 1.60 to version 1.61. Each time it tried to overwrite/update a file, it said something like..."Update 1.60-1.61/IF/ADDONS/IF_MPMISSIONS.IFA.UPD cannot be applied, error xdelta3 returned error code: 1". A second dialog appeared indicating that an error had been found in various files... "IF/ADDONS/if_mpmissions.ifa". It gave the the option to cancel, ignore, or retry. Of course, retry never worked, so I picked ignore. After about 30 files with errors, it completed the process. I wondered what would happen.... After restarting the game, it said I did not have a valid license and redirected me to a website where I could get my license. There, I entered the same GameSpy Code I had entered when I first installed the game. However, the website would not accept it. In any form. Now I can't play the game and I am wondering if I need to re-install the whole game and patch only to have the same thing happen. Why am I having these problems?!? Are they related? Or not? Thanks.
