downloaded far cry 3 from uplay....went to activate the cd key says its already in use
google searching seems to find this is not an isolated problem
anybody else have this problem?
also cant use 20% off medal of honor warfighters because its already discounted on origin. fail
edit: whoops sorry this is in the wrong section!
Contact UBI soft or and AMD .... this is the type of problem who allways appears at a launch of a game, whatever it is part of a bundle or not.. ( could be the servers who dont work as it should for register the keys. or they was an error with the codes etc), they will correct it for you. I see this type of thing for any games since years. Anyone remember FarCry 1 activation problem ? Ravenshield ? Crysis 1 ? Crysis 2 etc.Quote:

yah I sent in support tickets to amd and ubisoft
apparently its a big mess
I would recommend just buying it off steam.
sometimes ... :P
Like i know some have got the same problem with retail copy of both games you have. ( " the code is wrong or have been allready used " ).. Im not really suprised. ( lately in the case of BF3 this was just the servers who was not reached and was do error as an example ) ...Quote:

Anyway FC3 is really nice ( could have been better on some graphic parts, but i like it this way, and i have sometimes the feeling to play FC1 with what was missing in it ( interaction with local peoples, you are not alone, there's the population around you are working with.. ).. i have buy too Hitman yesterday, i like it. ( both by steam )
@Kromosto, i dont know what marketing is doing there... what it have to do with marketing ?
how is this news? this should be in the AMD forum
This should be in the game forum.. If a problem with a key code exist of a game you own ( Bundle or not ), it is still a key code from a game.Quote:

Most of the time it is the way have been print the codes, or just the server who are buggy with thoses codes, or the just the server who dont recognize them for a reason or another.
( i cant count on my 2 hands how many time i have buy a gpu, or other hardware with Games bundled with it, whatever it is an MSI or Sapphire ( never HIS, but they dont bundle games ) and it have happend the same thing... )
(In this case, im not sure, but i think you was register the bundle code on AMD, then use the code they give you for the games when you buy them, so something have maybe been mess somewhere on this part or on the Ubisoft/EA parts ( in some rare game case, i remember the problem was piracy, as the code generate for valid pirate copy was, if you really have no luck, the one you was use, the good thing with old key code generator )
+1 plus, this really has nothing to do with AMD, it's not AMDs fault Ubisoft ****ed upQuote:

Worked fine for me. The 7970 is playing FC3 great in DX11, no AA, default settings at 25X16. (didn't bother upping the settings after Hs review) I'll skip AA at 25 X16 before I'll skip a minimum fps around 30.
i will wait till new year maybe i can catch a steam sale.
you can catch a voucher for $30 as amd and samsung have been giving them out ;)Quote:

Boring to say the least.
The same reason why I got bored of mw3 and bf3, to repetitive.
Had the same issue with my Never Settle Bundle, it appears they just mixed up the keys...my Far Cry 3 key was actually the Hitman Absolution key, and Vise Versa...there is no scam going on here, just a mix-up.
