I miss BLACK ICE dammit

[Chindaswinth]

I have been trying to access the Black ICE discussion forum for about a week but all I get is this.

sorry cant seen to get an image to post either sigh...

I HAVE UPDATED THE DAMN CODE 50 TIMES. I really did buy this game from Steam almost 2 years ago, really.

I was able to access the forum until about 6 months ago but stopped playing until recently.

I want to get back into Black Ice and I am able to download and install the updated mod no problem but for some reason I cant view the Paradox forum . BI strategy is overwhelming based on decisions and I have found the forum to be a wealth of info (in the past). With the new update there is a mountain of stuff to learn and there has to be discussion on it somewhere, but I'm not finding it.

The rest of the Paradox forums seem to be accessible. just no mod discussion forums.

Ideas??

you have to register said games to get access to the modding forums for the game you want.

When I try to access BI discussion forum from here http://blackicemod.com/discuss I get sent here http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?467-DiDay-s-I.C.E.-Iron-Cross-Edition which is about as clear as mud.

So I go to here http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?419124-Why-amp-How-to-register-HOI3 which tells me to do what I did over a year ago.

So I go to my games on the Paradox forum account page and I see a lock on on my game and a message thus "= This icon means that the game is connected to a meta server. If you update your password here on the forum, you'll need to click on this icon to send your new password to the metaserver if you want to use it."

Now I don't remember changing my password but stranger things have happened so I have tried to enter my HOI III TFH Product code key where it says manage games and, "Invalid key for". So I try to enter the codes for FTM, Semper Fi and Vanilla and, "Invalid key for".

I am not a totally stupid person. I can install BLACK ICE and get a correct checksum every time. Can anyone, anywhere give me a methodical way to access the BLACK ICE paradox discussion forum.

Thanks

In this case you need HOI3 registered not just TFH

You sir, are a genius.

I thought phhht.. what the hell, I registered the damn game over a year ago and had visited the forum many times and now I couldn't. But since you are who you are, I'll give it a try.

I had registered SF, FTM, and TFH, and for whatever reason it had worked before, But I had never registered vanilla. I just did and it fixed the problem.

Thanks for the help, and the mod.

I'm pretty much a pro lurker but now that I have the chance, Panzeroo, Maverick87, Marneman and Had a dad, thanks for all your hard work. You guys have created one of the best mods out there. 5.01 is a work of gaming art. You should be proud.
