Eagle Vision not working for PC/Xbox 360 controller?

[enriesgo]

I have two issues.
1) I downloaded ACIII through Steam, I activated it through Steam and UPlay. But whenever I want to play it, Steam prompts me to enter the activation key (every time I launch ACIII), when Uplay/the game prompts for it, even though I already did it. Through that prompt pop-up, I can press play and the game launches. I don't know if this is an issue for other people.

2) I bought a wired Xbox 360 controller for PC (Gamestop brand). Everything works fine, but I can't seem to get the L button (left toggle stick) to work.
In game L is used for Eagle Vision, but its not working for me at all.
unless its a different button and I don't know it.
Otherwise I just switch to keyboard for the V command to use Eagle Vision, which is a hassle.

Thanks.

If i understand right, the first one appears one pop up when you going to play the game with the activation code and with the button play game that's normal when you have to activate the game in another program like uplay.
The second one try press the left toggle stick, because for me when i use eagle vision i have to press the L.
Sorry for my english :)

Hi,

1) Are you sure, you have to activate the game again? This should not happen. WHAT happens when you have to activate something via 3rd party tools: You get a reminder what your product key is. There should be an option (checkbox) to not show this dialog next time. This has to be done twice. Once in the steam client after you press play, and once in the game (steam overlay)

2) I use a wireless XBox 360 controller and pressing the left analog stick should enable eagle vision (works for me). In AC3 however you have to stand still to activate it. It's not possible while running.

Hope I could help you. Enjoy the game :)

ah you were right. it is just a reminder. my mistake. i thought i had to activate it again, because it does the first time setup, when it was already done.
also ive tried staying still, and all the left toggle stick does is move the character to the left. so its just a directional command. so im lost, unless its not sticking right, i have no idea what to do ,besides toggle between keyboard and controller.
I willl try what you suggested. thank you.
