never played it but try searching for key.ini in your windows

yeah tough luck. the best thing I could say to do is find like a torrent crack of it and try to get it with the CD key in it to be able to play. :O

Yeah and be dam careful i have a complete legal copy of BioShock but lost the CD, so d/l a no CD crack that actually worked fine but contained some god awful virus or some thing, never seen anything like it, and that led to a complete re-install!

This might be dumb, But besides looking for the key like someone said. Maybe you can do a system restore an go back like 2 months?
I cant think of anything. Some programs store the Key on your computer. But as far as knowing where to look, i dont know. Maybe in yur registry. Go through it and look. There should be a folder labeled Fear, or something like that.

would it just be less of a hastle to find a buddy and ask him or her to borrow their key? i am sure you have friends that play the same game right?.. so just ask them for a key. just a suggestion ofcourse.

eslfish · 09-16-2008, 07:39 PM

there's no other way I could think of on how to do it. i know its illegal but its a way.....

well i tried

. if i did have the game i would help you out...but i don't. i guess you could always buy the game again? or go about it with some of the ideas mentioned above...but be careful with those torrents...they may do more damage then you think.

Just find a key online, who cares, you bought it originally so it won't matter.
