What's the output of your /pb_myguid command? (Without the cd-key...just the GUID)

Do you even have a cd-key? Have you verified it is entered correctly in the Options Menu?

There should be a file in the Main folder called 'rtcwkey'. If you open that file in Notepad it should be your cd-key without the last 2 digits.

There should be a file called 'rtcwkey' in the 'Main' folder. Same folder as the pk3 files.
