CD Key

Post by railfrog »

Is there any way of getting rid of the "CD Key Nag" that comes up from time to time.
Before anyone says anything, YES i do have a retail bought copy of Q3, with a proper cd key that has to be typed in. Just wondering if there was any way round it.

Thanks

It shouldn't be there in the latest patch.

However if it is, open the q3 folder (usually c:\program files\quake iii arena\)

Check every subfolder in that folder for a file called CDKEY, and delete it if you find one. There should be only one copy, in \baseq3\, that you should leave there. Set it to 'Read Only' in file properties also.

That should stop the nag screen.
