AMD Reward Problem?

[Godlik3]

I just bought my 7970 Dual-X a few days ago and its finally here so I set it up and test a few games and i already love it anyways, I used the Gold AMD Reward card and i gor: Hitman Absolution, Far-Cry 3 and Far-Cry 3 Blood Dragon. Hitman works but both Far-Cry;s wont work. Any suggestions? I seen this problem before.

Merged in a thread from PC Gaming.

"Won't work" how? What is the behavior when you try to run them?

You *did* set this up with uPlay, right? Far cry isn't a steam code. It is uplay, so you cannot use it within steam. Some folks don't realize this, but that could also be your issue.

If that doesn't work, you could always email them - there's a link on the promo page IIRC.

Yes, On uPlay it says the code isn't valid.

Many times U Play does not recognize codes from certain countries.

 

[Godlik3]

Do you think if I used one of those programs that let you access sites in the US edition will fix it?

This worked for me.I am still playing Farcry 3.

 

[Godlik3]

How did you do it? I'm having trouble.

What do you mean, Far Cry 3 "won't work"? You need to be much more specific. Are you able to install both of them? What happens when you try to run them?

Or are you having trouble redeeming your AMD codes and inquiring about that?

 

[Godlik3]

Yeah, the codes aren't valid on the uPlay launcher.

I had some isses with my AMD rewards a few months ago but they got it figured out very quickly.

[Godlik3]

How long did it take? haha

 

[blackened23]

Why don't you just email them? There's a link on their promo page.

 

[Dankk]

If I remember correctly, the codes will not work if you try to use them on the regular Ubisoft Store. I remember having to go to a special Ubisoft store URL that would accept those codes.

I think I got their first response within 24 hours.

 

[Godlik3]

Do they just email you?

Get a VPN with a US address and register your game code on U play's official site .Once your code is accepted there is NO need to use the VPN to play fARCRY 3..

You can get free VPN's .

1. You also have the same thread in the Video Cards forum.

2. It sounds like you are region locked. Nobody here can help you commit piracy.

 

[Jaydip]

We have an official AMD representative on this forum, you cam pm him and ask for clarifications.

I am having the same problem through FarCry Blood Dragon. Far Cry 3 Bioshock and Tomb Raider worked fine. Did not know about the special URL. WIll try that when I get home. Too bad Wind waker comes out tomorrow.

Edit:Tried doing it from the link in the email and it worked.

I'd also suggest contacting AMD, your board producer and maybe the retailer that sold it to you, to make sure they sold you a correct 'regional' SKU.

You paid for it, so they better damn well support your software.

Had the same problem with FC3: Blood Dragon. Followed instructions in AMD's e-mail only for Uplay store to tell me my promo-code was invalid or some such thing. Good to see this isn't just isolated to me.

If you are not in a 'supported' Country IT WILL NOT WORK....

You can use a VPN to just validate/register the game.
