Hi

Just reinstalled GTAIV after a format and RGSC wants to link your accounts?It doesnt really work because it comes back all the time.
Anyone noticed this?

I'm also having this
Can't sign in because you've exceeded the usage allowed by your product key. Please enter another product key

Already on support chat


GREAT

Alright Tom, bit of bad news for you here now to be honest. I've looked the key up and it has exceeded it's usage. Games for Windows Live put a limit on the amount of times you can register their product keys and each reinstallation uses up one of these times. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done once it's exceeded that limit, except get another product key. That's going to involve purchasing the game again which I know is obviously not an ideal solution as you've already purchased it.

Link account means linking your Xbox Live and GFWL Accounts which are necessary for RGSC. You can do the linking in Social Club, that's the easiest way I know.

He's lying, get on their phone support and insist on having your counter reset. Also, if you come by this again, tell him to get f*cked... by a donkey.

(my apologies for references of animal brutality, but I'm sure the donkey wouldn't be psychologically impaired due to that encounter)

Of course not. But I live in an unsupported country so I don't give a damn. And in 2008 it was about the last time I actually purchased a game in retail.

I still have my receipt because I read up on PC release what a shower of S*** conversion this really was and thought those 'gits' at Rockstar are not going to shaft me up the botty when their crap product goes tits up
