    UPlay Shop - is it down? / Can't register Far Cry 3 rant

    I bought a code off Ebay to reclaim Far Cry 3 from AMD's never settle bundle. The seller seems to have done anything right and I've had the e-mail with instructions from AMD, but after installing and signing up to the UPlay system I couldn't find the version of Far Cry 3 specified "Far Cry 3 (standard edition)" anywhere on the store.

    Now I can't even seem to access the Uplay store (via web browser) at all, viewing from work.

    It just seems like an utter shambles and I can't register the game. Is anyone else experiencing problems logging into the UPlay store?

    Just accessed the store from the UPlay client and it is working fine.

    Just logged into the web based dashboard and clicked store and it is also running fine :

    http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/en...00/ccRef.en_IE

    As for Farcry 3, not sure how you would go about redeeming it as at the minute UPlay doesn't have a function like Steam where you can activate a key. I also believe that The Lost xpeditions version is actually the standard version of the game so could possibly try that :

    Re: UPlay Shop - is it down? / Can't register Far Cry 3 rant

    It's a strange proceedure - you add the game to basket, then (presumably) go to basket...here's the official e-mail from AMD regarding redeeming proceedure:

    Step 1: Go to http://shop.ubi.com/amdfarcry, Log in or create an account

    Step 2: Add Far Cry 3 PC Download (standard edition) to the shopping cart

    Step 3: Click on "Click here to redeem link'

    Step 4: Enter the game code below and click apply

    No idea where "Click here to redeem link" is....Ferral, since you can get on the store, could you please add the lost expeditions pack to basket (PC download, obivously) and see if you can locate the 'click here to redeem' link anywhere?

    Massive thanks for taking the time to check.

    Re: UPlay Shop - is it down? / Can't register Far Cry 3 rant

    Been looking on the net for how to redeem it, the AMD link now takes you to their current BOGOF promo.

    Login first with the account you created

    Then add Farcry 3 to your cart, just select The Lost Expeditions version from the link I provided above, next page a window will open asking what version (PC Download, PC Boxed, 360 & PS3), select PC Download version. Once added to your cart there is a box there for Promo Code, add your code to that then hit Apply. It should then zero the amount in total box. Then just finish the checkout in the usual way.

    When you get home from work launch the UPlay client (Its really nice and similar to Steam). Log in with the same credentials you used on the store and when you click My Games tab Farcry 3 should be there.

    I've justed managed to work it out Ferral, via mobile browse and 3G. It has been added to my account - just have to see if it's listed and downloading when I get home now! Massive thanks for your effort again.

    Edit: So basically the download instructions are terrible....lol

    Re: UPlay Shop - is it down? / Can't register Far Cry 3 rant

    Yeah, I wish they would add a function where you can just past your key in and activate, apparently that is coming soon according to the Ubisoft forums.

    What you got is a promo code, not an activation key.

    You will have to start the download yourself when you get home direct from the UPlay client, I should imagine you will also have a key to unlock it in the client which will have been sent to your email.

    The box art will be there and in top left there will be a little download icon in orange, just click that to start it off. Once downloaded the little icon may change to a key and when you run it for the first time you may get a window asking for the key so just the usual copy / paste into the block onscreen and away you go.

    Once in the game if you click the extras bit on the main menu there will be a redeem option, also put your key into that and it should unlock Lost Expeditions. You will either have to manually type the key in or use ctrl v to paste it in.

    Re: UPlay Shop - is it down? / Can't register Far Cry 3 rant

    Short version for people who have the same problem:

    AMD Never Settle "Code" > E-mailed promo code from AMD > Download UPlay client > Setup UPlay account > Add Far Cry 3 Lost Expeditions (PC Download option) to Basket from UPlay Store in the client > Go to Basket > Enter code from e-mail (random string of numbers in lower case underneath the download steps in the e-mail) into the Promo Code box > Apply > Total cost should say 0.00 after applying > Continue to purchase

    You'll need to supply billing details, but no payment details.

    You'll see the serial displayed for the game (make a note) this should also be e-mailed to you.

    I'm going to try registering the key via Steam, will let you know if it worked.

    Re: UPlay Shop - is it down? / Can't register Far Cry 3 rant

    I am trying this method listed above for the Far Cry 3 Ubishop download code. It states that the code is invalid.
    I am wondering if it might be region locked as I am using the laptop in the UK. Does that seem likely to you? I think the code should be valid until mid October and they only sent me the code today anyway.

    I have already redeemed through Ibuypower (never settle bundle (and also blood dragon on the never settle bundle reloaded)) (today) and received the code.
