Did anyone ever find a fix for this? I've encountered the same problem....1 disk, no prompts for a cd-key. Game installs after about 15 minutes.

When I kick of the game, my pc thinks for a minute, and then no trace of the app at all. I've reinstalled several times, bought off the shelf, ran various patches I've read about, nothing does any good.

I just planned on the single player route, so I shouldn't need Windows Live in order to play, unless they're integrated somehow.

Nothing like paying $50 for a game, then doing all the leg work to try to get it to work. Microsoftgames support site has you jumping through all kinds of hoops in device manager changing the settings on any IDE devices...do people even run IDE anymore?? I thought SATA was mainstream now.

The game looks and sounds really cool, but for now, it licks balls.
