If this occurs whe you try to download a game, then try the following steps.

• 1) Stop and restart the downloader.
• 2) Change the folder for Temporary Gamersgate files, meaning, use the file somewhere else then you used it before (another drive for instance)
• 3) Disable the virus scanners during download.

• 1) Check your Internet connection and try disabling your firewall if youve got one. This message may appear when the connection is interrupted, or very slow.
• 2) Reboot your PC - this may remove some temporary files, clean some memory, and may help in removing this message
• 3) Just wait 5-10 minutes and try again - this is most probably a temporary problem, so whatever causes it, it may be gone after a while.
• 4) Try downloading the game from another computer, and if the error does not appear there, you can copy the downloaded files and the download file (!) to your computer and run the file. It will then search for the downloaded files. If the temporary folder for downloaded games and the download file are in the same place, then it will find the files and start the installation process. If after all you still experience this problem, do write to support@gamersgate.com.
• Do NOT use the RUN option in Internet Explorer. Download the Downloader to your desktop or preferd download area and click the downloader to initiate the download/install process.

Some anti-virus applications react improperly. It will be crucial for our business to supply any kind of malware, but still defenders suspect file names like Generator as viruses. The virus guard could block the execution of the installation. To resolve this you may try to change the configuration of the securing application and see if you have more satisfying results then.

This problem is most likely due to a non supported character in your password or username for the GamersGate account.

Change it and try again.

If you see such a message, then you may experience problems downloading games. Common reason is that ISP uses an inner anti-virus which detects suspicious site and checks if they are containing viruses, trojans worms and etc. So it probably filtered your download domain and caused the download manager problems when it tried to continue downloading, as the problem may happen when you try unpausing. There are several possible reasons for you to receive such a message.

You can do the following:

• 1) Check your internet connection. This message may appear when the connection is interrupted, or very slow.

If after all you still experience this problem, do write to support@gamersgate.com.

This may happen due to different reasons. Some of them may be:

• 1) An anti-virus application may be blocking/filtering the download. A possible solution is that you may want to turn the anti-cirus settings lower to see if the download will proceed as it shoul.
• 2) Your internet service provider may use an inner anti-virus, which detects suspecious sites and checks if they are containing viruses,trojans worms and etc. It probably filtered your download domain and caused problems to the download manager when it tried to countinue downloading.

Most probably, you have a FAT32 File system on the drive you are downloading the game. Fat32 does not support single files that are larger than 4GB in size. For instance, Mass Effect game is one of the very few games at GamersGate that has a file 7gb in size, and at 4GB of download you get this message.The options exclude any possibility to download it to your HDD now, but

• 1 - you can use a flash drive that has 8 gb space and download to it.

• Upgrade your video drivers to the latest version - at least DirectX 9c from. They can be found at www.microsoft.com
• If you run games under Windows Vista, then try running "as administrator": for that you to right click on the icon of the game, then chose "run as administrator"
• If you are using Windows XP and Vista it is better to have administrative rights on your account.
• You also may try using Compatibility Mode when running games on Vista: right click on the game icon, choose Properties tab and there will be a "Compatibility" tab with different settings
• Sometimes lowering down security/or turning it off and see if it changes the situation - it may block the execution or files or block access to/from them.

2. Move the Downloader and your storage folder away from the Desktop and download from there.

3. Change the settings for your antivirus program or disable it completely during the download.

Actually, there can be no virus or trojan in the download. Its likely your anti-virus program having whats called a -false positive-.

It is very important to install the add-ons in the same folder as the main game. The correct folder after the main game and add-ons are installed is, by default, C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings

To resolve this you may try to apply patches, found outside Gamersgate.

To resolve this try to change the resolution to 1024 x 768

For resolving this try redownloading the game and reinstalling it.

Yes, some games got some kind of protection. This is done a request from developers and publishers. However, the activation limit that may be on this protection is easy reset by an email to support@gamersgate.com.

It seems that the "account control" of Windows Vista may be blocking the localized files and trying to turn this option off you may resolve this problem.

If you run the windows Vista version of the start menu you can enter "regedit" in the search box and then you should find the program. (If you run windows XP you need to select Start then Run - enter regedit and start the program.) After that youll get a folder tree. Locate this key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis III and delete it.

Problems concerning this game and its expansions are due to wrong installation folder. The correct install path is the original games folder, by default it should be C:Program FilesParadox InteractiveEuropa Universalis III

It is very important to install the add-ons in the same folder as the main game. The correct folder after the main game and add-ons are installed is, by default, C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis III

The right procedure is

1 Install Europa Universalis III

2 Install EU3: Napoleon"s Ambition in the same folder you previously installed (because its an expansion to the original game - for more details, see the Napoleon"s Ambition" web-page at Gamersgate)

3 Install EU3: In Nomine in the same folder you installed the original game and the previous expansion - but be sure to install Napoleon"s Ambition before installing this, since its an expansion to it. (for more details, see the In Nomine"s web-page at Gamersgate)

NOTE: Please read the details to the games in order to know what is required to play them.

In order to get clarification about it lease get in touch with support@gamersgate.com

If a game does not work or install, it does not mean that the game is broken or faulty. There is a large number of reasons for that. For some games and usual problems we have FAQ section, where you can find a lot of answers to a number of questions. Please do consult the FAQ section and only after trying the recommended actions from it, contact support@gamersgate.com for prompt help.

Some tips to follow during the whole process are the following:

• When downloading the Download file of the game, save it to your hard drive rather than just running it from the browser.
• Upgrade your video drivers to the latest version - at least DirectX 9c from. They can be found at www.microsoft.com
• If you run games under Windows Vista, then try running "as administrator": for that you to right click on the icon of the game, then chose "run as administrator"
• If you are using Windows XP and Vista it is better to have administrative rights on your account.
• You also may try using Compatibility Mode when running games on Vista: right click on the game icon, choose Properties tab and there will be a "Compatibility" tab with different settings
• Sometimes lowering down security/or turning it off and see if it changes the situation - it may block the execution or files or block access to/from them.
• If you have a problem with a game, try downloading it one more time, but to a folder somewhere else that a system folder - like Desktop, or C:/Program Files. Try not running it from the browser, because its better you save the file to your hard drive.
• If you still have no progress see if you can try to download and install on another PC and check if it is a game related problem, or a PC related one.

Make sure you are using the default install path while installing the game and the expansion.

To resolve this try to turn off Direct draw acceleration in DxDiag.

This error is most probably caused by no .NET on your computer. Installing it will solve the problem.

PLEASE note the system requirments for this game. This is an old game and is no longer supported by the developers. Your drivers for the graphic car may actually be TO upgraded, but take a look at this before you rolling back your drivers or asking for a refund for the game: "With Windows XP and Vista, right click, select run as, and select my profile. It takes you to the main menu, skipping all intro videos."

Most probably, you have a FAT32 File system on the drive you are downloading the game. Fat32 does not support single files that are larger than 4GB in size. For instance, Mass Effect game is one of the very few games at GamersGate that has a file 7gb in size, and at 4GB of download you get this message. The options exclude any possibility to download it to your HDD now, but

• 1 - you can use a flash drive that has 8 gb space and download to it.

• 2 - you can create a partition or format an old one and choose NTFS as a new file system for it. Then it will be available for you to download the game.

• 3 - you can use discs, like DVD9, or blue ray to store the game, that you may have the chance to download somewhere else (since it is not possible to download straight on a CD). DVD 9 allows to write 8 gb of space, whilst blue ray discs allow to store even more.

This operation is a tip from a GamersGate user and aquire some computer skills and are used on your own risk: 1.in XP you can goto start> run> and type in "regedit.exe" and press enter. 2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion 3. Find ProgramFilesDir whose default should be C:\Program Files 4. Change this to whatever directory you wish. I changed it to F:\Program Files for example.

It is most probably cause by starting the game before installing the offered patch. To resolve this, uninstall all concerning the game and the patch, then install the game, don"t run it afterwards, but instead apply the patch. This will make the game run normally.

To patch your game you will need a patch for a digital version of the game. A patch for a disc version will not work. We are trying to always have the latest patches availible in the My Games section but if you think there is a patch missing, please contact us about it and we will acquire it from the developers.

Please be aware that Red Faction II was released on older generation operating systems and hardware, this being the fact some high end systems can experience errors. Users of Red Faction II that have Direct X 10.1 ATI video cards or Direct X 10.0 Nvidia video cards will receive an error message. This issue unfortunately cannot be fixed at this time. Contact the support@gamersgate.com for more information concerning the work done about this problem.

The default language of the game should be English. English is used if the language is not English, Prussian, Italian, German and etc. For instance, Japanese is not in the list so it should be replaced with an English display.

To resolve this, please do the following:

1) After downloading the game open the temporary folder with the game. It is "GamersGate temporary files\8531\"

2) There is a file named Setup.ini Open it in notepad or any other text editor, scroll down, and you will see this the following textdefault=409 key0=410 key1=40a key2=405 key3=407 key4=40c key5=415 key6=419 key7=409 key8=411 The default should be English if it is not one of the lower ones.

3) Check out what you have in default since, for instance, Japanese is 0x0411=Japanese.

4) The issue is resolved if you change the default value to 409 and start the downloader again - then the installation will be started in english.

To resolve this go to the game folder, i.e C:\Program Files\Restaurant Empire 2\shader\shadowmf, and copy all the files in that folder. Then go to C:\Program Files\Restaurant Empire 2\shader\shadowmi and paste the files there.

You can patch our downloadable version with a standard patch from the developers without any difficulties.

To resolve this try to changing the resolution.

To resolve this, do try the following:

1. Install the game provided by Gamersgate

2. Install version 1.2 update from firaxi

3. Remove the Gamersgate installation by using the installation packet (after this point some v1.2 installation data is left on the hard drive)

4. Re-install the game using the Gamersgate download file.

For this expansion you should use the serials provided with Sword of the Stars original game.

You need to lower your screen resolution first, then change in game later.

The packed file for Victoria is rather large and will take some time to unpack. This will give the effect of the “freezing”. It may take up to 15 minutes, depending on your system, before the freezing stops. Give it some time and all will install properly.

To resolve this try to

• Clean the browser and system temporary files.
• Redownload the game.

NOTE: Some tips may help during the download and installation

· When downloading the Download file of the game, save it to HDD rather than just run it. · If you run under vista try running as administrator - right click on the icon / "run as administrator" - if you are on XP it is better to have administrative rights

This game actually does not require any serial.

UFO: Afterlight has 2 patches, available at your Purchased Games tab underneath the gamePatch 1.5Patch 1.7Using them removes this demand for a serial.

We suggest some tips to follow if you experience this problem:

• When downloading the Download file of the game, save it to your hard drive rather than just running it from the browser.
• Upgrade your video drivers to the latest version - at least DirectX 9c from. They can be found at www.microsoft.com
• If you run games under Windows Vista, then try running "as administrator": for that you to right click on the icon of the game, then chose "run as administrator"
• If you are using Windows XP and Vista it is better to have administrative rights on your account.
• You also may try using Compatibility Mode when running games on Vista: right click on the game icon, choose Properties tab and there will be a "Compatibility" tab with different settings

• If you have a problem with a game, try downloading it one more time, but to a folder somewhere else that a system folder - like Desktop, or C:/Program Files. Try not running it from the browser, because its better you save the file to your hard drive.
• If you still have no progress see if you can try to download and install on another PC and check if it is a game related problem, or a PC related one.

The file may also be corrupted. Several reasons can cause this - first maybe you have a virus. Do check this by running a virs/malware scan. Or while downloading the game something may have happened and you downloaded a corrupted file - then you may try to redownload it (maybe to another folder).

See if any of these advices works for you. You can read these posts for more information on this problem and its resolution: http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=490670

If your order is confirmed, then the games are at your disposal on your GamersGate account.

You need to

1) Log in to your account at Gamersgate

2) Go to My Games tab

3) Check the Purchased Games sub-tab

NOTE: Serial keys for games are available at "My Games" section of the website, in the tab "Purchased games" underneath the corresponding game. Note that not all games require a serial key, and thus do not have one.

The manual, if there is one available can be found in the My Games section once you are logged in. It is right under the title of the concerned game (some games may miss manuals).

Manuals can also be found in the game installation folder or the folder where the game is installed. If you require a manual for some game, and it is not present at any places described above, you can send an email to support@gamersgate.com and ask for it to be sent to you.

The Serial Key can be found in the My Games section once you are logged in.

• Log In
• Go to My Games tab.
• Choose Purchased Games sub-tab

And if you have a game, that needs a serial to activate it, then it will be right under the title of the corresponding game.

NOTE: not all games require serials in order to play them. If the game requires a serial, but it is not given to you at your game page, contact support@gamersgate.com for help.

Your computer may be new for you, but the drivers used for the hardware in your computer was most likely old even before you bought it. That is why you need to update the drivers from the manufacturers official websites.

NOTE: Do keep your video drivers up to date. Update your DirectX 9c from www.microsoft.com . Preferable version is 9.0c

Note the requirements of the game at the games detail web-page.

The game requires the original game on top of which you should install the expansion, otherwise you will receive this message.

This most probably a video driver problem and usually games offer to install DircetX after they install the game, so the game runs properly.

Do update your DirectX to preferably a 9c version from www.microsoft.com

NOTE: Windows Vista allows to use only DirectX version 10, meaning that games that require the previous version will sometimes not run on Vista due to this reason. Possible solution is to use Compatibility mode.

For this:

1) Right click on the icon that executes the game

2) Chose compatibility tab

3) Select the required operating system in the offered fields.

If this occurs whe you try to download a game, then try the following steps.

• 1) Stop and restart the downloader.
• 2) Change the folder for Temporary Gamersgate files, meaning, use the file somewhere else then you used it before (another drive for instance)
• 3) Disable the virus scanners during download.

Some anti-virus applications react improperly. It will be crucial for our business to supply any kind of malware, but still defenders suspect file names like Generator as viruses. The virus guard could block the execution of the installation. To resolve this you may try to change the configuration of the securing application and see if you have more satisfying results then.

This problem is most likely due to a non supported character in your password or username for the GamersGate account.

Change it and try again.

Do update your DirectX to a 9c version at www.microsoft.com. Having the DirectX 10 version doesnt always seem to be good enough.

NOTE:  Some games can be run only having DirectX 9.0c version, at the same time Vista supports 10 and higher.

This type of messages appear in case you are installing an expansion or an add-on, not having the required original\previous expansion installed, or you are installing in a different folder. This is most common for adding Hearts of Iron Armageddon to Doomsday expansions and it means that you have installed Armageddon in the wrong folder or not installed at all. The correct install path AFTER Armageddon is installed is, by default, C:Program FilesParadox InteractiveDoomsday.

ADVICE: Do read the game details on games page to know what is required for a particular game/expansion to be installed.

This may happen due to different reasons. Some of them may be:

• 1) An anti-virus application may be blocking/filtering the download. A possible solution is that you may want to turn the anti-cirus settings lower to see if the download will proceed as it shoul.
• 2) Your internet service provider may use an inner anti-virus, which detects suspecious sites and checks if they are containing viruses,trojans worms and etc. It probably filtered your download domain and caused problems to the download manager when it tried to countinue downloading.

Turn off real time protection in BitDefender.

NOTE: Some antivirus react improperly. It will be crucial for our business to supply any kind of malware, but still defenders suspect file names like Generator as viruses.

Yes, you can.

• 1) Copy the download file and the temp folder as they are located near each other
• 2) Paste on another computer that has connection to the internet
• 3) Run the download file and fill in the login/password if necessary
• 4) The installation process will start automatically, if the temporary folder is in place, since it will find the install files.

NOTE: Internet connection is required for performing the installation process. Installation cannot be made manually. It is done automatically and it requires internet connection to be performed properly.

No, you cannot. Internet connection is required to install games. If the target computer has slow download bandwidth, then the game can be downloaded on another computer and then transferred in any way to your original computer. There you can use them to install, but connection is needed to sign in and start the installation process.

NOTE: You should move the download file and the temporary Gamersgate folder (GamersGate temporary files) as they are placed near each other in order to install the downloaded games. Otherwise the downloader will start the download process again. Installation should be started using the download file, and it cannot be done manually from the temporary folder.

You can install the games on any of your computers as long as that computer has an internet connection.

NOTE: Games that need activation using a serial have an activation limit. Contact support@gamersgate.com for more information

Yes, in most cases. It depends on the settings of proxy you are behind.

Yes, now you can. Some games are available for MAC. Do check out this link on our site.

No, it is not, but some antivirus react improperly. It will be crucial for our business to supply any kind of malware, but still defenders suspect file names like Generator as viruses.

NOTE: For BitDefender you may turn off real time protection.

Not necessarily. Internet connection is only necessary during the installation process and the first time you run the game. After that no more internet connection is required, unless it is an online game, or it requires online account creation (and it is specified on the game page)

Yes, some games got some kind of protection. This is done a request from developers and publishers. However, the activation limit that may be on this protection is easy reset by an email to support@gamersgate.com.

Some US, Asian and Australian customer still have this problem. We hope to have a US based server before Christmas 2009 to solve this.

What you can do meanwhile:

2. Move the Downloader and your storage folder away from the Desktop and download from there.

3. Change the settings for your antivirus program or disable it completely during the download.
