Belgarath the Ancient One

Progress! So I had originally downloaded the 1.1 patch when I bought and downloaded the game. I then applied it and found the game completely not working. Fresh re-install, and then I went through the activation mess. Since then, while looking for more answers, I found a patch on the SEGA website that was labeled for foreign countries and digital download, but also version 1.1, so I downloaded this as well. Since I figured it could not hurt, I installed this patch. Start up game, and what do you know, it worked like a charm. Now, at this point I was never asked for an activation code, so as far as I know, my game is still not activated. I can't say that this patch is legal to use in the US. Bottom line for me, it made it so I can actually play the game I paid for. Hope this helps. Alpha Protocol patches Belgarath the Ancient One

So, finally picked this up off of Direct2Drive. After install, I have tried to activate using both options. Neither has worked. Using the activation code with "online activation", I get error code -1912029 No idea what that means. I tried this with my firewall turned off completely, always with the same result. So I tried the "web based" activation. After generating the activation request file, the website it linked to first just looked like a page with some text, then the section where I would assume I am to use to upload the file either times out or is not able to display. Did they shut these servers down already? I also found out the hard way that the 1.1 patch does not work with the D2D version, which worries me. Anyway, any advice/help would be appreciated. Thanks!
