I ordered the game off of our nearest game store in our town, called Gamestop. The reason why I ordered it, seeing as I already own a copy, was b/c one of my family members decided to partake in the role-playing world of Amia.

Well, when it arrived, I noticed that all three CD Keys for the game were exactly the same. At first, I thought this was natural, so I went along with normal installation. I put all the stuff you need in the "Override" folder, then the 1.69 Update.

I began to run the game for the first time, and it suddenly prompt me to insert the keys for Shadows of Undrentide. Well, I did so. It then asked me again for the same thing, then again....then again....then again.

Basically, the CD Keys seem to not work, and, not only that, I won't be able to play online. Any suggestions on this? I already sent out a request form to Atari about this problem.

Thanks.

Seems like you're well on your way to the proper thing to do. Atari would be the only people capable of fixing this... or perhaps go back to GameStop and trade your copy in for a different one if you don't wanna wait for Atari to respond?

Gamestop doesn't accept tradeins on PCgames, ever.

I knew there was a reason I didn't go to GameStop. Guess Atari is the only route then.

I've gotten a replacement game from a Gamestop. They sold me a copy of Medieval: Total War which had several CDs, but all of the CDs were copies of CD 1. While they almost certainly wouldn't give you a copy of a different game, you should not have any problem replacing an obviously defective purchase with another copy of the same game.

Missing CD Keys in Diamond Edition? READ THIS!
There seems to be a rash of people recently that have purchased NWN Diamond Edition and have not received CD keys with the game. For those of you to whom this has happened, first look on the inside flap of the front page of the installation pamphlet. If they're not there, thoroughly check the packaging to see if they're either on a sticker or a piece of paper in the box. Failing that, check the DVD disc to be sure they're not in a file on the disc. After exhausting all those avenues, read the info from the Atari Forums to see how to get replacement keys for your game.

Well, I searched the entire case, and there were no extra slips of paper or CD Keys. I'm not missing them, as they're printed on the side of the booklet like they're supposed to. It's just that they're all the same numbers/letters...

As for searching in the actual CD-ROM for the keys, any specific file name I should be searching for...or folder? I didn't find anything that looked like CD Keys, so it probably means they're not there, either.

Man, this really sucks. Just my luck to get faulty keys... Thanks again, everyone, for taking time in helping...

They don't have PCs with which to check for defective copies, and 'stealing' CDkeys is the very reason they don't accept or give refunds on PC games. you open the packaging and the game is yours, game over.

They have the same policy with New games.

Aye.. only resolution for you now I guess is to send pics of the booklet to atari and wait for them to give you a new set.
