Why loads of serials ?? when you only need the one you got when you purchased FPSc ??

we have another pirate.I can't believe people come on here to complain that their pirate software doesn't work any more? Seriously it is about time Lee updated the serial blacklist.

Can a mod check this out.I wish FPSC starts with online activation of sorts.

First off have you actually typed in the serial correctly? The start of the serial is a bit two sided. Second,if your serial is not legal,it won't work and buy the actual FPSC.

What exactly do you mean by this? I think we might have to check your order history, just to be on the safe side.

obvious use of piracy which is probally why it isn't working Maybe you should try and use your first seriel ? Or maybe all those seriels were banned ?

If you legally bought FPSC and didn't give it illegally to the internet, so that others can download it for free, when your serial would get on the serial black list, then it should work fine with the serial code that's inside the CD case that you got (if you bought the CD version). Or if you got that free version + store update, then you should have got your serial somehow with it. So basically, if it doesen't work for you it's a 50% (if not more) chance that you are a pirate.

Open up setup.ini with notepad and type in the serial that game
with your software in the "Serial=" portion and save it.
If you have Vista or Windows 7, it might not change like that.
Save the new one to the desktop and then go back and copy
to the original location. Make sure FPSC is not open when
you change the .ini

Also Nickydude, you can buy a boxed version of FPSC. That is
what I did a long time ago. Checking his history might
help, but you shouldn't base him being a pirate soley on that.

You never know though.

Technically if you have purchase FPS Creator and can prove it (through order history, boxed version, or whatever) you should contact support through this link http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=contact_support

They can tell you what it wrong, and / or how to fix it. They may even just replace your cd key with a new one. Companies have support for a reason, you should use them

Since Lee updated the serial blacklist in the 1.17 update, it's pretty safe to assume anyone found complaining is a pirate as the serial would work otherwise.

It seems most of the pirates do not speak english very well or participate in the forums much. I think anyone found complaining about this issue after upgrading to 1.17 should be investigated.

Just because he has multiple keys for FPSC doesn't make him a pirate.
I have two separate keys for FPSC myself, I receive one in the boxed version through the post and I was also emailed a second one by TGC.

Thank you so much knxrb. Plus the problem was.. It worked on my laptop using v1.17 but it didn't work on my desktop which is very odd.. :/ But the problem is fixed now. Thanks to those people who actually tried to help instead of accusing. This thread can be closed now..

Just because knxrb made a great point (and although I agree with him quite strongly), doesn't mean you're safe. People are still going to be on your case...

Why beat your brother down for something you can't pin on him?
Leave the guy alone. If he is a pirate, then his
blacklisted serial wouldn't just come back into full use.

I say leave him alone for now. There are too many flame wars
that spawn off this forum anyway. This is one less needed.

No flame war just sick and tired with pirates, and then have the nerve to come on here to complain about their serial(s) not working.I my self received two serials when I got my early adopters version one in the case and one in the email for the download...

The fact on the matter is he said loads of other serials generally speaking "loads" generally does not refer to just 2 or 3 even 4 serials, or I failed horribly in English as my second language.

Fact of the matter is that this guy has a problem with his serials yet at this point in time very little people have complained about the matter so far.The serial number issue was fixed in previous updates, in all likely event Lee would not make the same mistake twice.

So I can safely assume that this guy is indeed a pirate or shared his serial publicly which some one discovered and emailed Lee about it, or he got frustrated that his serial didn't work and tried pirated serials which is still just as bad,which is still as ban-able offense.

Just been chatting to my neighbours teenage daughter and it turns out she's big into UFOs and aliens.

Which is cool because tomorrow she's getting abducted.

Yeah I got 2 serials with my bonanza pack one in case and one with download version. I always wondered if I could use both and have FPSC on two systems "home and work" (family company so anything goes ^_^) but have always been too scared of getting banned to try, so use the free version at work.

Anyway this "his a pirate!" seems to have all started from my reply in this topic

The Topic title had a lot to do with it, as it seemed to refer to the free version, no longer being a full version (so that would cancel out the chance of receiving 2 serials as many of us got) added to the "loads of other serials" just made me ask the question.

To be honest he only had to answer the question, or maybe have said he exaggerated with the "loads" as many people do in times of annoyance and none of this would have happened

I have noticed on this forum that are more guys like to acusse other people. then there are pirates here.

Quote: ""loads of other serials""


the most people that bought FPSC. have 2 serials.
the problem is sometimes you dont read the serial right. because of the capital letters.

so its not strange to me that you have use different combinations. and this way you get alot of serials to try,

And dont forget Fpsc is software. not every pc is capable to run the same software in the right way. for example i have different bugs and problems then other guys on this forum with the same LEGAL software.(this not happens only with FPSC)

But stil we continue to accuse newcomers without evidence..
when will this stop??

ASTEK@

I agree totaly with you. if its blacklisted, its his problem at the end. and if someone suspect an other forum member for pirating(without proof) Then simply ignore him and dont reply. thats always better then accusing someone without proof.

I can put my money were my mouth is....
Quote: "and if someone suspect an other forum member for pirating(without proof) Then simply ignore him and dont reply. thats always better then accusing someone without proof."
Fact of the matter is I love my software and will protect the future of it and have all the right in the world to point of that some thing is a miss and report it to relevant party in this case lee or rick...to investigate the matter.

Lee can always request prove of a valid license or refuse access to the forum that is his right, but since he is far too busy to be really bother on a single user crusade.....it is pointless.
But on the other hand FPSC user idiocy has been proven time and again by users admitting to pirating software....in particular model packs and FPSC it self.So it would not surprise me if more than 50% of active and non active users even well known users have pirated FPSC one time or another.As a child or a minor, cash is not exactly plenty full and 50 dollars is a lot then.

So the rate of pirating would be higher in that age group than with an older age group.Since probably 80% here is minors we can safely assume that 30% of that users have some part of FPSC that is not exactly legal...

Hardly a newcomer....
Quote: "loads of other serials "
Is suspect enough to warrant questioning.If he used loads of other serials I got via software bundles that I purchased from TGC....maybe a little less suspect.

But then again how many serial can you amass with special offers in the last 5 years, well really 2 and a bit as there were not any super special bundles back then and only 3 model packs and a Darkbasic pro and a few extra's Hell I do not even think Dark GDK existed.

Even then 6 serials still isn't classified as loads.Getting 6 serials is pushing it as some bundles had fpsc free and not the full version so maybe 4 serials if your lucky...

or do I need to pull out a urban dictionary or get an English professor to find the hidden meaning behind
Quote: "loads of other serials"


Or is it just me that thinks that no harden or at least half stupid criminal/pirate would actively join a forum to complain about illegal software,(I have been proven wrong) where common sense at any age in this digital age would have been to contact support from the start...

Unless you want to actively fish for a work around to your problem...

That is just my 15 years worth of internet experience not seeing eye to eye with other people and pointing out that some thing is a miss....oh and a hunch (which could be wrong you never know I have been wrong before.)

Fair enough then let him prove me wrong, if he wants to.! I think I wasted my time to point out that loads of serials, legally is impossible, unless you buy the same stuff a few times over.

There is this saying guilty until proven innocent...I guess that is a meaningless saying to you...
Yes, it is fun to accuse people especially when they openly admit to using means to illegally activate software...as I have already proven by deduction that loads of serials is impossible to have any legal meaning, my dear Watson...

Don't know where you are from, but it is "innocent until proven guilty". That's been established for many, many years now. Insulting other members here is not going to get them to jump on the same bandwagon you are on. I would suggest you might want to make a slow withdrawl and let the moderators deal with this, before you dig a deeper hole that you may not be able to climb out of.

Of course, with your claimed "15 years on the internet", you should already know this by now.
