I bought this game about two weeks ago and when I launch it ubisoft connect is asking me to plug in activation key but if go look at the game in my library there's no option for me to view it. I already uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing changed, what's next?

idk how it's possible tho because I only have one ubisoft account and it's also linked to my steam? How could I resolve this?

It's no cd-key (s) anymore. The auto-activate in you Ubisoft connect account when you start the game from Steam.

Try Re-intall the Ubisoft Connect launcher exit Steam and Ubisoft. Restart and start the game from Steam. You find threads in the forums about this.

I did exactly like you said and it still didn't work :/ I'm thinking of contacting Ubisoft support but I doubt they can do anything

If you bought the game 2 weeks ago you may not refund it. Can you log in to your Ubisoft account and it is linked to your Steam account?

As said above Steam/Ubi Launcher should run as admin. It doesn't help you with your problem. but i got the game on Steam 2 days ago and it work/runs with zero problems.

When you launch the game from Steam you get a pop-up window if you want to bind the the game to your Ubi-account and the game run.

You can try search the forums (FC 5/4) "no cd key" and if it doesn't help you just have to contact Ubisoft support. Sorry for your problem.

Yeah my ubisoft account is linked with steam (for a long time) since I have Rainbow six siege and what's weird is that siege does show up in my Ubisoft account and if I launch it from there steam does pop up so idk why it's acing funky for just far cry 6

I also didn't mention something and I have no idea if it's a factor but I bought far cry 6 twice the same idea. The first time it was for myself and the second time it was for my friend since it was his birthday. Again I don't think this should be a problem tho but I'll ask him if he sees any "CD Keys" or if it runs well for him.

The same day (on Steam/friend gift)? All hell hell breaks loose if the game is linked to another account than the account you use. Suggest you ask your friend if the game works/installed on his Ubi-account for him/her. You should contact Ubisoft support (web/facebook/twitter). Maybe it goes more easy on twitter/facebook).

Yeah exactly on the same day, minutes after I bought mine I bought him the gift, I now texted him about it but it'll take long for me to have more on this since he works a harsh job on night shifts

Hi again, that maybe be the problem. Maybe your friend hasn't activated the game on his/her account? Suggest you contact Ubisoft support right now as you other Ubi games works fine.

EDIT: FC 6 was released 11.05.23 on Steam and you have 2 week refund window if you get no respond from Ubisoft.

I'm having the same problem, I've already searched the Steam and Ubisoft forums, it usually solves itself.

Has your problem been solved in the meantime?

I have exactly the same problem. For me, the first time I launched Far Cry 6 in Steam, the activation did not complete properly. It was not listed in my Ubisoft Connect account. I was also asked for a key by Ubisoft Connect. After 1 week of trying around with the mostly incompetent Ubisoft support, who doesn't read messages properly, the game was manually activated at Ubisoft and is now listed in my Ubisoft Connect Account.

Now I can start it BUT the game time at Ubisoft is not counted, the Steam overlay does not work and therefore no screenshots can be made. Apparently the communication between Steam and the Ubisoft crap still does not work properly.

By trying around the Ubisoft support "ideas" not only 1 week has passed, but 98 min of game time without actually having played.

I love Steam and hate being forced to use the for me unnecessary and totally useless Ubisoft connect. It only causes problems.

I asked for a refund and bought it again, then it worked but steam does not open within the game. Something that is not right is wrong. :shiva:
