[mohaa] Possible CDKEY issues

[Ben Knowles]

Confimed it. The EXE file for Spearhead doesnt contain CD key. The regisry
does in the ereg key in one of the spearhead reg settings. The game sends
this info to the master server on connecting to a games server.
You can use no_cd cracked .exe file or just with the cd in drive.
