In steam it doesn't let me enter the lobby.

Status: offline 		If anybody more has the problem, can it be resolved creating a txt file named TBF.txt in the main game folder with the serial inside?

as copy paste can take over spaces even one extra one will make it faulty

I have a steam version on another computer that works fine.

Windows 10, digital download version

Cheers

Status: offline 		in the upper right the SN looks like this ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP-Q < the last 3 digits are missing

Registry looks right
Tried TBF.txt twice, including manual.
something is up with the truncated SN

So the registry entry contains the full serial number? There should be a CloseCombatTheBloodyFirst.txt file in your install folder with the serial in it too - is this also correct?

Uninstalled from control panel...
Checked and registry removed.

Reinstalled, verified full sn was correct during install.
Multiplayer still truncated, shows only last digit of last 4.
Yes to CloseCombatTheBloodyFirst.txt with full correct SN
Registry reappeared with full correct SN

I have been able to start and play non multiplayer

Status: offline 		How do you find your serial number in steam? I noticed that in my matrix games profile, the game does not show up as being assigned to my linked steam account.

Also I noticed on my page on both slitherine and matrix stores, the game does not show as owned even with steam account linked.
