Post by Antverpia »

Hi, I just ordered my game after playing the demo. Payment went fine, received an email with registration number.

when I try to enter the code it says: ERROR?!. Now what's up with that??

appearantly there's some kind of lag on the code verification.

Just now i've typed in exactly the same code as 5 times before and it got verified.

so problem solved.

And no, I made no mistake the first times

I experienced this as well. I accidentally pressed the 'input code' button when the field was blank and after that it wouldn't accept the code (kept saying it was incorrect) even though I knew it was right. When I restarted eschalon and input the code it worked fine.

Amusing : I made the very same bug in a Pin code verification routine, once, a day I was realy to much tired to code anything right :lol: ... It had been modified in a hurry, and it went to some five thousands customer the day after that... Except that it locked the access card right, sending three time the first erroneous entry, ignoring the ones typed after it. An administrator's nightmare !
Maybe this little part of Eschalon was coded on the last day, in such a hurry ?..

You guys are going to love this. I bought two DVD copies, so I can send one to my brother. I tried entering BOTH registration codes, one after the other, and got the error message. Then it dawned on me that there would be one code for each game purchased, entered 'half' the code I was using and presto!! Book II works fine now.

Try to enter the code with CAPS LOCK on (or with holding the shift key when you will be entering letters). The code will appear same, but they don't. It looks like there is a font, that only can display uppercase letters, but when I entered the code as lower case, it did not work...
