Developer website | ||||
GOG.com | Despite being sold as "DRM-free", online activation is used whenever the game is able to contact the metaserver, and an algorithm check is performed even if the metaserver is unreachable. Using a bad CD-key blocks the game, and using a demo key restricts certain features, even in singleplayer games. If the metaserver is unreachable, multiplayer is only possible by manually specifying the server IP. | |||
Green Man Gaming | ||||
Steam | Activation key is requested from the developer server after verifying Steam account ownership. |
- The game uses a CD-key for multiplayer.
