[UPDATED] Paradox forum keys disabled for the foreseeable future

[CULT mixfriesjohn]

EDIT/UPDATE: Keys will remain deactivated during the foreseeable future as they have been replaced with steam activation on Paradox forums. Please note these are NOT game keys, your Cities: Skylines licence will continue to work just as normal. This ONLY affects users that wish to register their game on the official Paradox forum.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to give you a heads up that we've disabled the Paradoxplaza Skylines forum keys (via steam) during the weekend due to holidays.

All this means is that if you've recently purchased the game you won't be able to register your game there and claim your forum icon. This will be re-enabled after the holidays when our staff is back and can generate new keys :)

Support is still available via opening a ticket here: support.paradoxplaza.com

I'll be working during the holidays so if you have any concerns about this please feel free to contact me.

Cheers,
John

I have a slightly different issue .... When I tried to login today my After Dark activation key had disappeared from the login window, leaving only my game's original activation key.
Why has my After Dark activation key disappeared and what can be done about it.
Steam shows under Cities Skylines DLC that the After Dark game is still installed, it's just the activation key that I click on each time to start the game is not there anymore.

I think a lot of people have this issue. However, it appears that After Dark games can be loaded into the base game. I did this today, and saved the game on exit.

That's exactly what the thread is saying :) your keys won't be visible for a few weeks going forward.

I just bought this game, and it sucks that the keys are not generated. :(

But you're still able to play, no? :o

I just bought the game and I can't launch it because I get the "Failed to contact key sever" error every time. Is there a way to launch the game without the CD key? Or am I just not going to be able to play this game for two weeks until you guys generate new CD keys?

No you can't. So I bought it on another site where I got the CD-key right away :)

No you can't so I refunded my steam order and bought it on another site where I got the CD-key right away :)

I was able to play the base game yesterday. Purchased to DLC today and now I can't play the game at all getting " failed to contact key server". Any help?

[DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED]

Oh,that's interesting.

That's not the intended effects, let me check what might have gone wrong.

For the record, did you buy the base game only or After Dark too?

[Cad]

I purchased the base game near release, and just purchased the After Dark DLC yesterday. After the dlc purchase is where my issue started with the key server

I only bought the base game and I had problems.
