I bought the GTA complete pack, Episodes from Liberty City worked fine, I can right click the game in steam and click "view CD-Key." now I'm trying to play GTA IV, but there is no CD Key anywhere, and when I try to launch it, the rockstar activation thing comes up and tells me "Activation process has been terminated. The SERIAL was not found in the database. Most likely the SERIAL has been entered incorrectly." But there is no CD-Key anywhere. Is this a problem with GTA IV for steam, or am I missing something here?
Grand Theft Auto IV
Game » consists of 25 releases. Released Apr 29, 2008
Take on the role of Niko Bellic, a Serbian immigrant who comes to the US at his cousin Roman's request, to find a better life, search for "that special someone" and participate in lawless activities in an upgraded generation of Liberty City.
Bought this on Steam, never got a CD Key, now I can't activate.
I cant even get to my wishlist.I think steam is overloaded at the moment, I can't see any of my CD keys and my overlay doesn't work for some reason. I think you should try later.
edit: I can see my burnout paradise key but not my GTA4 key.
Hmm yeah I just checked mine too and I don't have a GTA4 code either but I swear I had to enter one when I got it. Suppose I should be glad I've no intention of ever playing it again but still.
Edit: Aaaah seems Steam ran out of codes for GTA4 and are having to get more from Rockstar before people who bought copies this sale can activate it. Weird that mine is missing as well though.
Ah, really? Damn, my GTA IV install is almost done. That sucks...guess I'll go back to Saints Row 3 until then.Hmm yeah I just checked mine too and I don't have a GTA4 code either but I swear I had to enter one when I got it.

Edit: Well, I had to start it with a shortcut once so I could change the settings, but it works and runs fine through steam now.

I know I'm bumping an old thread, but did you ever get your cd key? I just finished downloading the game a few hours ago and have been searching for a solution to no avail.

Yeah. I got the CD key. I think I contacted Steam support about it.

Thank you! They finally sent me one just a minute ago. Now I'm dealing with GFWL.
