I seem to have an issue launching the game, as it says I need a cd key, and then fails to connect to the server. how can I fix this as I did buy the game legit?

If you bought game, you should have received a key [per email, printed on manual (backside), on game cd...]. In steam you go to "games" (on the top) and choose "activate game". Follow the instructions. Should work. Doesn't work, if you game key is not for your region you live in... You can give information how/where you bought game ?

I bought the game off of steam. It's been awhile since I've played the game however, and anytime I try and start it up the message that pops up is "Failed to contact key server." I havent switched regions or anything of the sort.

Did you try contacting Steam Support and tell them about this error message ?

Do you have more than one steam account ?

lmao, why?

i just got endless space free from linking my steam, plus endless space 2 stuff i think, not sure. but it says i have dlc for it according to the content in the profile of mine. but that aside, i assume the giveaway was because of endless space 2?
