how to find Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon 's CDKEY?

[94028187]

I can't find cdkey from steam lib. when game start,need to connect to uplay to input Cdkey .

[Ostatni Oławianin]

I couldn't find the key either, but I found a solution, it works for me.
open folder: (Steam folder)\steamapps\common\Far Cry 3\bin. if you don't know where it is, alternative way to go here: right click on game in steam, properties/options, "local files" (or "local cache") tab, click "view local files" (first button), double-click "bin". Delete (or rename) "FC3UpdaterSteam.exe" (you can get this file back by verifying cache)
(if you can't, try killing process with that name in task manager). Copy farcry3.exe, rename a copy to "FC3UpdaterSteam.exe" launch the game normally

Hey there,

Just checking in to see how you're getting on, as a CD key shouldn't be required to play.

Further to the above steps, could you please also try verifying the game's files[ubi.li] and let us know how you get on?

Thank you!

In Ubisoft connect there is a request for an activation key. Ubisoft connect locks me out of the game until I give it the code. Can Ubisoft support help explain how/where I find this activation key on a game I purchased through steam? The purchase receipt says I have the “game key (DLC)” but the game is locked behind Ubisoft’s page asking me for a sting of letters that looks like this:

aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd
Or
aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeee

Steam thinks I have played blood dragon for over 100 minutes but I’ve just been trying to find this game key/activation code.

Seems to be a common problem.
Thanks

Hey there,

Can I just check, when you try to launch the game are you logged into your linked Steam and Ubisoft account as they should automatically link?

Any trouble, just let us know.

Yes fully logged into both steam and Ubisoft's uniquely irritating account system.. the Ubisoft side is asking for the activation key or game key as I described before. Where do I find that code? Steams receipt says I got the game key as DLC.

Anyway the question I am asking is really super direct, this should be straight forward. Where do I find the “activation key” that Ubisoft connect is asking for?

Thanks

Same problem here so there is no cd key that one can type in? REALLY?

above linked article says:

"To locate a game key:

• Choose the game from your Steam Library.
• Select the cogwheel icon on the right.
• Choose Manage and then CD Keys.
Depending on the game, the CD key option may not appear unless the game is already installed or is being installed.

Alternatively, when first launching some older games, Steam will automatically display any key needed for further activation.

Please note that some titles may not give the option to display the CD key in Steam."

THERE IS NO CD KEYS option under MANAGE
Key is now distributed in form of DLC? How does that work?

WHERE IS THE KEY???

"Solution" from post #1 doesnt work since i cant even activate the key in Ubisoft Connect - so the platform doesnt know i own the game...

*edit
So after fiddling around and reading for 3 hours, now suddenly out of the blue (i didnt really change anything) the key is automatically registered to Ubi connect and FC3 Blood Dragon is finally in my Ubish*t library.


So if anyone else has this problem, i suggest u log out of Ubi connect, restart steam, launch game again and see if that helps. IF that doesnt help also verify game files again in steam, restart steam and try again.


@Ubish*t i suggest u rework ur help pages since the manage CD Key thing seem to be OUTDATED clap clap

Hello PumPGunisiert,

Thank you for the update.

I'm glad that the issue has been resolved. I'll also pass your feedback on to the team.

If you have any other questions, feel free to update this thread.

This joke of a situation gets worse though

Imagine that you have to provide proof of purchase to ubisoft support that includes a CD KEY. FC3 BD use to have one that you had to put in and could view anytime. Even if you don't need the key anymore for activation YOU MAY NEED IT FOR SUPPORT PURPOSES.

I recently bought the game cause I heard good things about it but I too seem to have the "Activation Key" problem. Steam support referred me to here telling me a CD key is no longer required. I don't really see a solution here.

One thing to note. I have tried re-validating. Every time I do I get 53 files failed to validate and it automatically downloads them again. This happens everytime I try to validate the files. Is this related to the CD key problem?

To me it looks like the hashes haven't been updated.

Hey guys,

A CD key is not required to play as the game should be automatically bound to your Steam and Ubisoft accounts when launched.

If you're being asked for a key and have already tried verifying the game files, then please follow these further steps;

Firstly, please make sure you're launching Steam and Ubisoft Connect with admin privileges, by following these steps[ubi.li].

Then, please, navigate to the Ubisoft Game Launcher "cache" folder, by default located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\cache

Open the cache folder and move the "ownership" folder to a safe location.

Once you have backed up that folder, delete the "cache" folder.

After deleting the cache folder, please verify the game files within Steam.

If an issue is found, you will be given the option to Repair, click Repair. After repairing the issue, please verify the game again until no issues are found.

When this has been completed, try launching the game again.

If you continue to have issues beyond this, please use the links above to open a case with us where we can investigate further.

Thank you!

That's all well and good however lets say you ever lose access to ubi connect and need support such as if you lost access to your email they require 3 things from you

1. Purchase history (the big list of games that you bought) with the game in question clearly in the screenshot.

2. Receipt screenshot (order number and method of payment and all that jazz)

3. screenshot of cd key in the steam client (kinda impossible to get if ubisoft deems cd keys to be of no use anymore)

I can understand that ubisoft support needs to follow policy and all but how do you provide that with no cd keys? Blood dragon used to have one and now it is gone

This is a change made across the digital market and Steam and is not exclusive to Ubisoft titles.

We also have other sufficient means to verify player accounts, of which we will not disclose here for security purposes.
