<div class="IPBDescription">(I've already bought it)</div>Hokay. So I bought NS 2 waaay back, but I only now got around to actually installing it. Actually, I only just now got around to installing Steam. The problem I have is, that I can't, for the life of me, find a way to download and install the damn thing. I looked for a link on the NS2/UW site but nothing(nothing in FAQ, just tells you how to buy it and get your activation key). I searched Steam, but the only games listed under UW were Zen of Sudoku and NS1. I also read the old e-mail with the registration key, but it only said I should activate the game on steam. And when I try to do that, Steam says I should first download the game, before activation. So I'm probably being dumb and missing something obvious, but I thought it's better to ask than fumble around for another hour or two.
Also, I did search. But the answer I found was "you get instructions with the e-mail". And the e-mail just tells you to activate it.
So, any help? I'd like to get back on the ol' NS-saddle.
Edit: Okay, I got it. Apparently there's a different key for the game. I was trying to get it to work with the black armor key. Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for the help.

You only have to register NS2 in steam with the key you got. For that somewhere in the menu there is a tool that lets you activate a game. It will ask you for your serial. enter it, it will be recognized as NS2, and then ns2 will appear in the list of your games.
One for the game itself and one for the "Special Alpha Edition" black armor for the marines.
The message you are getting is probably from trying to redeem the armor before activating the game.
You should have gotten a separate email with the key(same time period). If not check out the webbed thread in this forum <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=110620" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...howtopic=110620</a> - it will tell you how to have your key resent if you deleted it or whatnot.
Everything needed is pretty much explained in that topic.
