Progress...At Last!!!:
I've just got this Game to finally work!. What I have on my Computer is this... Program Files (x86)_Slitherine_Order of Battle - WWII_Order of Battle - WW2_64_Data_Content_Campaigns_3SinoJapWar. I can't be absolutely sure that this is the 'Red-Star' game, but it is all that I can find at the moment.

I don't think that this is direct installation from the download for the 'Red-Star' Game at the MATRIX/Slitherine site...as to being/becoming a Computer run Game only?, but instead something from STEAM???. Anyway...I can try to figure that out later. Anyway...i again tried my "SKYPE Activation Key", it still will not activate the Red-Star-Game???...so...in wild desperation I did an "Input" of my regular allocated "S/N" for the Red-Star-Game!. Be-Hold...Great-Freaking-Lightening!!!...my Serial-Number actually activated the Game!.

So...now at last I can play "RED-STAR" on..."SKYPE".

I'm still perplexed as to why my STEAM KEY will not function???.

I'm perplexed as to what you're talking about Retributarr. What do you mean "Skype Activation Key"? Have you bought some 3rd party key from somewhere? If so, that's not an advised method of purchasing the game. If you can expand upon what you're doing and the problems you've hit, maybe we can help you more?

Cheers,

I'm perplexed...that you're perplexed!. The given information is from "My Page"...at the Slitherine Web-Page...where all of my Game-Purchases are Displayed!. Both the S/N or Serial Number for a Computer installed Game as well as a SKYPE Activation KEY for activating the Game on SKYPE are listed under the visual display of the particular Game in question. I can't be more obvious or simple in this explanation and if that won't do...then you're lost!.

Instruct me how to take a PICTURE/SCREENSHOT of 'My Page' so that "I can show you that listed SKYPE Keys are for REAL and that they are listed under the picture of the Game of my purchases".

As it seem's that no amount of explaining will ever get through to any of you!

Hello Retributarr,
I'm not sure why you're so worked up. We are trying to assist you, but what you're describing to us doesn't make sense. A screenshot of what you're seeing is the only way I believe we can get to the bottom of this. I would suggest you email the screenshot to support@slitherine.co.uk as it might show personal information from your account.

Thanks,

AMG

Obviously he's worked up because he bought a game he can't play... but the best way to resolve such problems is to contact support directly rather than waiting for forum replies.

I don't see any "SKYPE Keys" on "My Page"(Slitherine) and I do not know what is a "SKYPE Key" ?

Yes, obviously.

As far as I can see, he has a valid standalone key for Red Star. There's nothing I can see from his profile that states Skype Activation Key. If he can download the base can and the updater for Red Star and redeem the key that is in his "My Page", I can't see how this won't work or has anything to do with Skype.

The issue here is that Retributarr keeps referring to something that no other person in Slitherine can see, and to help him we need a screenshot to better understand his issue.

OoB WWII _ Red Star:

I finally entered into the 'Battle of Rostov' or some-such scenario designation. I held as well as physically occupied the City/Port of 'Rostov' at the very last turn...as well as effaced/eviscerated all other German Army and Luftwaffe' presence...off the map!.

The Russian Army at this juncture in the game...had 100% control! of the entire map, yet?...the message I got after turn 24 had just completed...was that this was a Major Defeat???...and the Game abruptly ended right there?. What the 'Blast the Blast' happened here???.

See this thread (they should have stickied it): Red Star, Rostov scenario, hotfix

and see if this answers your question.

Finally, you managed to play this great game.
Can you explain what it is the "SKYPE Activation KEY for activating the Game on SKYPE" ?

I didn't install the Game on my computer to access the Game for play purposes from a H.D. installation on my Computer.

Instead, I went to the SKYPE Site and tried to use the Game Activation KEY allocated/given to me for my use. The SKYPE Activation KEY was clearly displayed under a picture of 'Red Star' and along with it also...js a S/N for a H.D. installed Game. Both Activation KEYs were displayed on "My Page" with all the other Games that I had previously purchased.

So!, at the SKYPE Site I located the heading...which was something to do with Activating a Game on SKYPE, so...I then tried to Activate "Red Star" as I had just purchased it and also had a SKYPE Activation KEY that I thought I could use. When I tried to use the SKYPE Activation KEY, I was given the message that this SKYPE KEY was already in use/activated by some other entity.

After trying to use the SKYPE KEY a few times, seeing that it would not work, in desperation...I then tried my S/N on/at the SKYPE Site...and for some unknown reason to me...it worked?, my Game "Red Star" was then Activated.

as neither company is associated to SKYPE etc, it's either a scam or a con,

and as all 3 sites aren't linked in any way to SKYPE, i'm 100% certain what your saying can't have happened either, as without being linked to the server, Activating a serial number can't Activate a key, without a link back to the owners keys sites servers, same as you can't activate a serial for steam on any other services other than steam, it's not how it works, same is true for any serial, without a direct link back and access to service and server, no game key would work, GOG, steam, and the 3 sites here, Matrix, Slitherine & AGEOD.

as it's been asked many many times now, proves us all wrong and provide the screenshots on how it looks, and upload them here as a guide, so everyone else can clearly see it happening, then all will say sorry and get it fixed, but as it's not happening to another single user on either the beta or main pages, no well else can confirm or replicate it either, but if you can prove it, the site can fix it, thanks

No offense meant, but reading the posts from "Retributarr" left me with the impression this guy has some issues with orthography. Maybe it's some auto-correction mechanic on his phone, I don't know; but I think you're talking in circles and SKYPE = STEAM... :roll:

I feel the same way (SKYPE = STEAM ?)
