Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 CD Key
Bought this game today, tried to install it and has a pop up screen asking for a CD Key. The game does not have a CD Key. Purchased brand new at Walmart. Took that one back to exchange for a different copy and same thing, no CD Key. Please help.

All versions of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 require Steam. If you purchased a retail copy, there will be a key somewhere in the game case. It could be on the disc, under the disc, on the back of the manual, on a slip of paper, etc.

thanks for the reply but nope, no key anywhere. this game was in the plastic case with a graphic sleeve over it. no manual inside the case, only the front graphic slip with blank inside. both copies were the same.

Serial key written on the disc maybe? Had that a few times.

PC Gaming Wiki suggests the game is Steam only, but I've found images of the game with a Games for Windows Live logo, suggesting that all copies may not in fact be Steam copies.

"Games for Windows" does not mean it is using GFWL. If it literally says "LIVE", then it uses GFWL.

Even my The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim retail box says "Games for Windows" on box art, but it required Steam to play.

nope
Keep your eyes open for sales, it gets discounted sometimes 90% or so. On pages like humble bundle. Maybe even steam.
I would not waste time with other tries. Bring it back and tell them that there is this problem with their boxes.

I had the same issue, I contacted the game's support and they sent me a key after a few hours. Hope this helps you.

My husband is having the same issue and we can't seem to figure out how to contact game support, just keep getting dead links or rerouted to a trailer for the game. I'm pulling out my hair, can you please tell us how you contacted support? Thanks!

You don't contact Steam as they are not the publisher of the game.

It's the link above that 765 posted. Just put the specifacations into the fourm and explain that you bought the game retail and there was no cdkey anywhere on the packaging or disc. anyway No problem, I was lucky enough to fnd out how to fix this on my own.

Here is the link someone posted for me, and it worked. It took about a week for them to respond back with a cd-key for me to use.
