What you should know

- Playing on WOL requires a valid serial. You cannot play with a serial you got from the net. If you don't have a valid serial, then go buy Renegade (possibly through an online shop): it will only cost you around 10 $ / € max. You could also buy The First Decade package which includes Renegade (and other C&C-games).

- You can share your serial with someone else. This means your friend and you can play on the same serial. However, if you let anyone play on your serial, then it's YOUR responsibility. If he gets banned, you will also get banned.

- Many people think there is no such thing as a banning policy. You should know, however, that you can and will get banned from xwis if you go out of line.

I get an "invalid serial" error

If XWIS tells you that you have an invalid serial, read  http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=19368&a mp;a mp;start=0&rid=735]this topic and download the tool. Follow the directions and you should be fine, though this tool doesn't solve all problems.

This tool will allow you to simply renew (or change) your serial entry in the Windows registry.

Further problems regarding serials

Further problems regarding serials should be directed towards www.Strike-Team.net. They are responsible for xwis (= WOL replacement).

OMG, now I see this topic.

My renegade is screwed up now... You see, I went to create a new name, but my PC has some strange internet problem and wouldn't let me. So I went to use my laptop, created the name, then logged into it from my PC. But then it said that loggin failed and to reinstall renegade with a differen't serial number. (I figured it was because of me making a new name. On both computers I have the same game with same serials installed. I figured that is what it ment)

So anyway, I took it's advice. I uninstalled renegade from The First Decade. Then I reinstalled it with a differen't serial number. But after the installation finished, and I loaded the game, this is what happened:http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/r315razor/Stuff/Game2006-08-3018-34-47-54.jpg

So I figured it was cause of renguard. So I uninstalled renguard, then uninstalled renegade. Reinstalled renegade with a NEW serial, and I still had the same problem.

Then I took all my maps, gamesaves, and scripts/scripts2.dll out and put them into a differen't folder. And I deleted EVERYTHING else in the renegade folder. Installed it from scratch. Then I had the same error.

So I tried one more time, uninstalled it and put back my origional serial number, and I am now still having this problem.

Can someone help me out here? Obiously it isn't anything within my renegade directory...

No need to go through all that re-installing everything, just a 5 min restart will fix it all up Smile

Bleh, I already gave him that solution back when he asked for it.

Don't bother with that tool; it doesn't work. At the current standpoint with this new invalid serial problem happening with a lot of people, there is no solution. At least, there is no solution that I know of. You'll just have to hang tight while it's worked on.

I had the same problem yesterday. I just reinstalled the game with the same serial which was on the cd case and it worked, or try to restart your computer and see what will happen... (this is not a serious problem at all don't worry!)
