So I bought ee2 on here about 2 weeks ago. Today I tried to access the multi-player menu. Instead of giving me the option to pick Internet or Lan I get this prompt asking for a gamespy cd key. As far as I know I don't have one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

deja vu

same here -.-

From what I see: http://www.gog.com/game/empire_earth_2_gold
Multiplayer notice: The game's official multiplayer servers have been taken offline and the only multiplayer option available is LAN. Multiplayer mode is available after registering your unique CD-key for the game. For details see: Support ( http://www.gog.com/en/support/support_view/Multiplayer_key_request ).

If you're lazy you can use one of CD-KEYs from here (click)

Please note that GameSpy servers are down, and if you would like to play Multiplayer, you should use GameRanger ( http://www.gameranger.com/ ).
90% of players are using Unofficial Patch 1.5 which adds supports for all possible screen resolutions, fixes game crashes and Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 problems, for more details please check: http://easywinclan.forummotion.com/t1723-ee2-1.5
