Cd key issues.

[SNS]

Unfortunately i only noticed this now T_T.

I owned the gold edition disc version. It had two cd keys, one for opposing fronts and one for COH, tales of valour DID NOT have a cdkey and just installed normally. Once i saw i could use my retail game on steam i gave it a go (this was a little while back).

I put the main COH key into steam and it worked. I then tried the OP key but would not work. Now the strange thing is that i have the new steam version and tales of valour in my library BUT steam says the only dlc i have for NSV is TOV. I can not access the normal or OP campaigns. BUT I can use every unit and army in MP.

So this really has no effect on MP at all. When I browse into my COH folder i has 3 dlc folders even though steam says I don’t own the other dlc. So my question is any way to unlock the campaigns?

It is as if steam is not communicating properly to the client, it downloads the dlc content and allows me to play it in MP but i just cant play the campaigns. :/

I tried browsing the forums but could not find a similar situation to this. Due to the sale steam support seems to be unavailable. Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

So even if the key was for one part it will unlock the other instead?

you have a gold key for part 1 and part 2 then you have the second key which is TOV so there is no other parts it unlocks the gold and then tov.
tov always has its own key.
so it unlocked the right part

Thats the thing. I had three manuals for the game and its two expansion pack. On the COH manual it had the cdkey for the base game, on the COH OP manual it had the code for OP BUT THE TOV manual had NO cd key at all and it just installed without one.

Now i put the cdkey for COH into steam BUT when i tried the OP key it would not work. TOV had no cdkey so could not put one into steam.

So I just put the base game cdkey in which gave me acess to everything except the defualt and OP campaigns even though steam says i dont own OP or the original COH

hey i had the key for CoH Anthology and I when I got CoH new Steam version with the old key, played the game and it freezed, not even task manager could close the game and i had to turn off the computer manually.

Keys from Anthology. No problems playing NSV at all.

As far as i know, Gold editions have only one key for both the base game and Opposing fronts. I got my self DVD version of Anthology a while back and used two keys recently. One for Gold Edition (Base + Opposing Fronts) second for Tales of Valor. Aside from CoH NSV, what stand alone CoH games you have in library? You should have CoH, Opposing fronts and Tales of Valor if you activated them properly. Secondly, do you print receipts when activating games? You should this way you would know what you activated.

EDIT: Or look into your acc history / details to see what games you activated.

Only TOV in my libary which is funny because it was the only one which did not have a cdkey xD.

tov is the only one that has a singe key the other works off a gold key for two games in antholgy.
Tov has to have a key because its the only one that is standalone in antholgy.

What is NSV, it surprised me that not even task manager could close the game.

I have activated the game well I have it in my steam game list or library.

Never had a key for TOV it installed without one, COH and OP both had their own key.

NSV = New Steam Version. Sometimes it happens that Task manager can't "kill" program. You should always try it in both Aplications and Process tabs.

ToV never installs without a key. And since you have ToV activated as stand alone game, while not having others, proves that one of the keys is for ToV. The second should be for the rest of the games (Gold edition). Or you got wrong keys in package.

NSV works with anthology key

[Ϯ Ooooosh Ϯ]

look in your DLC and see what it says there it will say retail
