BFBC2 Required A CD To Play???

char[] rager · Oct 17, 2010, 11:45 PM

I thought you did not have to have the CD in the drive to play. I mean, I have the CD and all, but I thought we were past this in terms of games in general.

If gives you an option when you are installing the game. I think you can install it up to 10 times with out the disk.

no one buys game at Retail Lol. Steam is so much cheaper. but yeah i think Con is right

Alright, I am going to uninstall it, and then reinstall it and see if that clears it up.

Sorry for the double post, but what do I do if the installation is stuck at "Installing DirectX." I mean, I already have DX11 installed??????

I want to give a reason on why it will just skip that stage but I feel it would be in correct. Maybe someone else can tell you, but you will be fine, it should just carry on installing.

Yea man, use Steam, even though at times they may suck (server time down) they have the best deals in the world. I bought Borderlands for $10 (back in Aug) and I luckily happen to get early access to DNF ...Can't wait for the Demo to come out

I did not mention that I had this game installed several months ago, but uninstalled it.

I successfully reinstalled the game, but whenever I go into login with my old email and password, it asks for my serial. So, I type in my CD key, and it says "This number is already in use."

BY WHO!!!!!???????
