I've been playing EAW now that its up and running.  Its not half bad.  So now I might try a multiplayer game.  Any suggestions?  And what is the best race to play as?

Thanks again Bonk for helping me out.

 If your going to go multiplayer right after buying it?

 Practice ,practice,practice and have fun. You might want to join up with  a fleet, they can show you your way around,and help get you trained up.

Actually...the best way to get better faster it to jump in with both feet...you wont pick up to many bad habits from blasting AI...

Make sure you save your movies... ;)

Crims right, the AI is lame and does not prepare you for real combat.

I see some folks talking about an Orion Pirates CD key error.  I'm not saying that you don't have a bad CD key, and I know for sure that one batch of EAW did have this error, but OP also had a slightly different bug when it came to enterring the OP CD key.

Sometimes, the screen would lock up and you could not enter the code.  The game would just "ding" at you when you tried.  What you need to do is to minimize the screen and then maximize it again.  Then your keyboard will work again and you can enteer your key.

I see that at least two people on this thread had that problem and have already worked it out.  However I thought that I would highlight this issue just in case others might have a working copy of Orion Pirates and not realize it.

Hope this helps someone.  And welcome all!!!

Just bought mine yesterday form KB toys.  This looks like a great game, and I guess the good part is if there was no problem I would not have found this forum  ;)  Anyways, PM sent so I can get this up and going.

Is Bonk still around? I sent a PM several days ago, and haven't gotten any response at all yet, same as I did when I tried sending e-mail to...Frey, I think it was, before signing up on Dynaverse.  If not, is there someone else working on the CD Key problem? I'm trying to get my brother's copy working for him, as he doesn't have a net connection and I do, and he's getting rather annoyed at me for how long its taking.

Don't worry guys. Bonk is still around. He just moved to BFE and is now
stuck on dial-up. If you don't hear from him in a week or so just give
him a friendly PM in case he forgot.

Hello folks from Alaska,

It seems that this problem with EAW has reach even up here. I would like to know how to get past the Authorization Protocol so I can play this game.

Thanks for the help
Matthew

Cool! A good few years back there was a very popular EAW server hosted from Alaska; "Arcticfires"! Glad to see another Alaskan!
