Getting Mount&Blade Warband to work now. Hopefully.

See, the game called for a serial. A ####-####-####-#### serial. What Steam gave me was #####-#####-#####-#####-#####.

So yeah. Problem.

Turns out that if you buy a boxed copy, that registers on Steam, and the box contains a code that matches what the Steam copy asks for.

If you bought it on Steam? You will have to download it from the TaleWorlds (I think that's what it was called) site, install that and use the serial you got off Steam. Nothing short of a lengthy Google binge reveals this.

Starting to get a bit annoyed at today's turn of events.
