US GT Legends buyers missing online keys

US buyers of GT Legends reported that their boxes lacked the online key and that the US distributor Viva Media was slow to respond. Users shared contacts, and an email to a Viva Media staffer often produced a key within hours, though Mitch_A waited six days. Later posts covered Momo setup and TrackIR.

Is anyone having problems getting their online key for GT Legends? I have contacted them by email and I'm not getting any response. I have tried calling them, but all their message boxes are full. Any ideas as to how I get them to respond? This really sucks and I would caution any future purchaser that this is a company that doesn't appear to give a shit about their customers.
Exactly which company did you contact? FYI Simbin has nothing to do with the distribution, they only develop the software. You should contact the american distributor at [email hidden]

Have you tried ringing on +1 877 848 6520. This number is on the GTL web site. Also try sending more emails, just in case. Andi. "alastair" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:rnhIf.47550$[email hidden]...

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. Had GTL since Sunday, and can't get it online. Very frustrating indeed. One thing to note though; I use Yahoo for my race mail. I usually dump my bulk folder without opening it. I did finally get an automated reply from Viva, at least telling me they had received the email, and it went to the bulk folder. So make sure you look there before dumping it... Fletch
In which case I think I'd post back at RSC where Eden7c may have some strings he can pull. Early on this all looked like it was being sorted out quite well. Andi. "Mitch_A" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7AoIf.30042$[email hidden]...

I got a key within about an hour after emailing this guy. from RSC forum: Got a response from Viva Media. To all those concerned by this issue, write to them at [email hidden]. From what I've been told, some games were printed without the online key (and that's almost a direct quote from the reply). They should provide one for you. I GOT MY CD KEY~~ i emailed the guy and he just send me the CD KEY !!!

I have to say, if you all just got it, you have (being a smart ellick here) buisness being online yet, do some of the challenges, sheesh!

I've heard of a few requests being ignored due to the deplorable standards of English contained therein. Some among those proffering mails were incapable of constructing a coherent sentence, it is rumoured; their sentience akin to that of an intellectually challenged tree shrew.

Thanks for your efforts Playboy. Unfortunately it would seem that dunder-headed half-wittedness constitutes the primary criterion for omission, as opposed to mere meanness and or belligerence. Tightfisted anger is not an entirely ennoble motive.

Not real sure why youre telling me this. If you prefer offline racing fine with me but I would rather race online. How you can turn that into a bad thing I dont understand? Not sure who youre racing against online but Id find another crowd if I were you :) On any given night I can find a few good races. Granted we have some idiots as well but they usually get bored quickly and move back to CS. Beyond that they are easily outrun by anyone with modest skills once youre past T1.

Thanks Playboy, I often look on the bright side also. I encourage this state of self delusion with a cocktail of Prozac and cheap vino locale, which I have shipped into my quarters by a circumcised monk called Alpho. It is rumoured that he procures it wholesale from Elisa, a conceited yet detumescing whore-ette who frequents Prio's dank dive of a bar off the palazzo three miles east of here.

Finally got it. The receptionist gave it to me over the phone. As for Tim, when I "take a break" from my job I generally make sure the replacement can actually do my job ;) 6 days is not acceptable under these circumstances. Now if they would just fix the widespread Momo issues I can actually race this game on a regular basis :( Im still scratching my head as to why after all these months since initial release its still an issue for so many. You would think controller issues would take priority over everything else.

Mitch, I've fallen a little behind... but do you still have the web page with rFactor and GTL Momo configurations? Have you had any problems with the centering? I still have to go in and manually play with the setting in the player file to get the centering of the MOMO just right. It varies a little between GTL and rFactor. I don't have a TrackIR, but the new 4 Pro is tempting. Do you guys who have them really like using them? Any tips and or warnings? Thanks in advance, Scott -- Scott B. Husted http://www.Husted.cc

Heck, my wife reported a gas leak across the road so a guy checks with a meter which sure enough went sky high. He called in another team who drilled some holes in the pavement opposite our house to locate the leak (presumably with a meter rather than to find a hissing noise!). Chalked the pavement with a nice circle round the offending hole and a number and said another team would be along to dig up the pavement. That was 8 days ago! So in perspective you received an online code for a game faster than a gas company can get around to fixing a gas leak in the road!! Cheers Tony
Hi Scott. Yeah its up at http://aardvark.servebeer.com but I havent done anything recently. I keep getting sidetracked :) IIRC a few of the links no longer work (different ports) but if you want something thats unavailable let me know and Ill fix ya up. The sphanky settings are in their somewhere though. I also used the rFactor controller.ini settings in my GTL player.ini though and that may not be the right way to go about it but it works for me. The only downside is the oscillations coming out of the pits or if you take your hands off the wheel. I can live with that over the weak forces though. As for centering my wheel. While in the pit or not moving it always goes to the left but as soon as I move the car it centers ok without the artificial centering form the CP. I just make sure Ive ran the wheel through its full range of motion before I go onto the track. Its been this way since F1C days IIRC. I don;t use the TrackIR much in racing sims. I have it at the ready with a button push though and do use it for specific corners or exiting my pit garage. TrackIR seems much more suited to flight Sims imo but others use it all the time. Be prepared for a learning curve if you do make the jump. Arent you having a problem with your Momo losing connection occasionally? Not really losing the connection but it is no longer recognized in game till I go back to main options/controllers? Online the wheel seems a bit more finicky as well. And Im still missin swervin Irvan :) Mitch "Scott B. Husted" <[email hidden]> wrote in

The circumstances that they created by not sticking the sticker ;) I agree 8 days for a gas leak is much worse in the "big scheme" but that doesnt blunt the poor service from Viva either :) I hope you dont live near many smokers TR :)) Mitch "Tony Rickard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:I%rJf.22128$[email hidden]...

LOL Thanks for all the info Mitch. I've been layed up with the flu all week and going bonkers. So when I'm feeling up to it, I've been running some GTL. I haven't had any problems with the MOMO losing connection or recognition so far. Are you using the wingman software at all? I haven't set up any profiles and everytime I do, I never end up firing the software up anyways. Mostly right now I'm just experimenting with graphics settings and trying to get the most balance out of the sims performance. My "ancient" system I'm using is a P4 3gig with 2 gigs of PC3200 DDR. I'm using an AGP ATI X800XT All-In-Wonder 256mb video card and Audigy Gamer sound card. Not exactly cutting edge by todays standards, and the longest I've ever had a core component setup in a PC without a rebuild. I'm hoping to rebuild this fall/winter after VISTA if I can hold off that long. In offline with 29AI, I stay between 25 - 60 fps depending on the track and number of cars around. I don't notice too much stuttering, but it happens on occasion. I have the driver hands/feet turned off... but I'm split on whether I like having it turned on or off. I'm running at 1024X768X32 with Level 1 AA and DX9. -- Scott B. Husted http://www.Husted.cc

Scott, I highly recommend the TrackIR. I couldn't imagine driving without it. For me, the key to getting used to it was to make my own setup. The stock setups moves your view too much with very little movements of your head. So I made a setup that was less sensitive and it feels great. > I don't have a TrackIR, but the new 4 Pro is tempting. Do you guys who > have them really like using them?

Maybe I'll get used to that with the improved (but far from perfect) TIR4, but I doubt I'll get used to it in racing sims. It's great to lean forward, back, and look around in GTL, but boy, does it screw up my cornering! I tend to look round the corner and forget to steer enough. Years of using visual feedback to tell me how the cornering is going are hard to overcome, and I doubt I'll try. I enjoy racing too much as it is, and don't race online enough to make the most of the ability to glance around intuitively. Andrew McP
