Headap: I found a method to change the cd key.

In regedit (windows key + r then type in regedit) look under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/SSSI/Empires and edit "GameSpy CD Key" then change only one Letter/Number from the original Value. When you relaunch the game it will prompt you to enter a cd key.

Presumably if you then enter your original cd key from the boxed copy it will be different to your friend and hopefully allow the multiplayer game to work.

Hello, i can find the point where to change the gamekey. But when i change it and start the game it accepts not the changed code nor the original. And if i open the regedid menu back up the code hasn't changed. Help pls would like to play with a friend ^^

Yes, multiplayer works, just install gameranger.
Also, you must install the 3 international patches (in order) follow this link: https://www.patches-scrolls.com/empires_dawn_of_the_modern_world.php

You must have done something wrong, I did this trick so many times and it always worked. What you can do is, add a new user on your computer and set it as administrator. Then, install empires: dawn of the modern world in the new user's session. If you want to change the cd key, follow the instructions above and please only change ONE number to another one (for example, 3 into a 7...)

When you start the game, you will be asked to input a new cd key, simply input this one (you can find other ones online if you want): PCXX-GGT8-4G3A-444J-7FA7

Also, if you want to play online, download "gameranger", you can host and join other people and your friends who want to play with you

Hello, I have a fix for you.
First, uninstall the empries dawn of the modern world.
Then, go here https://www.gog.com/forum/empires_dawn_of_the_modern_world/release_4_languages_pack_keygen and download the mega file. Go to play without installation and select the english version. The patches are already preinstalled. Just launch empires.exe and you will have the game + patches installed ! Works for sure.

Then if you want to play with gameranger, remove the filter and make all games appear, then try to join an existing room for emipres: dawn of the modern world. It will ask you to locate the .exe file. Simply navigate to the .exe of the game you just launched, and you will be able to play multiplayer. Have fun
