Key and password Recovery:

When you buy the game through our website, you’ll receive an email with a key to activate the game. If you lose that email for any reason, you can write to us at support@blitzkrieg.com from the email address you provided when purchasing the game.
The key can be used to activate the game on Steam if you would like to continue playing there instead.

If you have forgotten the password for your account, use this link to recover it: https://account.blitzkrieg.com/en/user/restore/

If you have also forgotten the email address you provided during registration, write to us at support@blitzkrieg.com

NOTE: If you buy the game through Steam, you use your Steam credentials to log in. If you lose these, you can recover them via Steam.

• Launch your Steam client and log in to your Steam account.
• Click ‘Add a Game’ in the bottom left corner of the Steam menu.
• Select ‘Activate a Product on Steam’ in the drop-down list.
• In the window that opens, enter the key you received when you bought the game at blitzkrieg.com. The game will now appear in your Steam library.
• Download and update the game via Steam.
• Launch the game, type in a new nickname.
• Write a letter on support@blitzkrieg.com and ask for a merge of accounts. We will need 2 screenshots from you. Both must be made on the globe, one from the site version of the game, and one from the Steam verion of the game. We will merge the accounts during the working days.

The following advice can help improve the game’s performance on laptops:

1. Set your laptop’s Power settings to the maximum (Usually ‘High Performance’). Power saving mode can significantly lower the game’s performance. Please contact your machine’s manufacturer for more detailed instructions.
2. Connect your laptop to a power source. The performance of a laptop powered by a battery can be low, especially if the battery has been used for many years.
3. If your laptop is equipped with two video cards, make sure that the game is using the most powerful one. Please contact your machine’s manufacturer for more detailed instructions.

If you receive a message that your connection to the server has been lost, a problem has occurred in the data exchange between the game client on your PC, and the game’s online server. This is frequently caused by malfunctions or misconfiguration of network hardware, or by programs and applications increasing the load on your Internet connection.

Try the following:

1. Reboot your router and modem. These devices can become overloaded with data. Completely disconnecting them for several minutes can be very effective.
2. If you are connected to the Internet wirelessly (Wi-Fi), try to connect your machine directly (with a LAN cable).
3. Close any background programs and applications that might be using the Internet, such as torrent clients or auto-update programs.
4. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and firewall, as these can also block some of the information sent to the server.

NOTE: Modems on 3G and 4G networks cannot provide sufficient connection stability, even when operating at high speeds. 

These are common problems that may be caused by any of the following:

• Not enough free disk space: As the game was being installed, the disk did not have enough free space and so some files were not fully downloaded. (Installation requires 10 GB of free hard disk space.) In this case, delete the game files, make sure you have enough free space, then reinstall the game.
• Old drivers: Out-of-date drivers can result in various things, such as loading screen freezes, game crashes or launcher problems. Check that your video card drivers are up to date.
• Antivirus or firewall action: Most antivirus programs won’t block the game, but as it runs over your network, your antivirus software may block the packets it sends. 
• System specifications lower than minimum: Some computers that don’t meet the game’s system requirements are still able to launch the game (although it may not run perfectly), but if your game won’t launch at all, then it may be because your system specifications are lower than the official minimum requirements. In this case, you’ll need to upgrade your system.
• No Microsoft Visual C++ installed. Blitzkrieg 3 requires this to be installed. You can easily download and install it from the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=5555

Low Internet connection speeds can be caused by the following:

1. Running on a wireless connection. Wi-Fi connections can see loss of data – connect your PC directly to your modem or router with a cable and see whether your connection issues are resolved.
2. Other applications using your Internet connection, e.g. other games or programs downloading updates or files. These should be closed whilst you’re playing.
3. Satellite and mobile connections are not stable enough, and so are not supported. If possible, try using a more stable connection.
4. Temporary data saved by network hardware can become outdated or contain errors, causing issues. Reboot your network hardware.

If you want to reinstall the game, delete the old installation first!

Steam version:

• Right-click on Blitzkrieg 3 in the library
• Select ‘Delete Local Game Content’ in the menu
• Make sure that the folder Steam\steamapps\common\ no longer contains the Blitzkrieg3 folder

Stand-alone version:

• Remove the game via Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
• Make sure that the Blitzkrieg3 folder is gone from your hard disk

Then re-download the installer:

If you bought the game from our website, use the following link:

• English version - https://account.blitzkrieg.com/en/download
• You can choose which folder to install the game to.
• Follow the installer instructions.

If you bought the game on Steam, the installer will be available on Steam.

The installer unpacks the game launcher, which downloads the game files and latest updates after you sign in.

NOTE: If you bought the game from our website, you can merge your game progress with the Steam version and play using either client. However, if you bought the game on Steam, you cannot play with the stand-alone version.
