Got the UPlay Starter Edition, then bought the full game on Steam, but Steam is still using the Starter Edition.

So I got the free Starter Edition on UPlay and really liked it, so I bought the full game on steam with the intention of starting over. When I boot the game up on steam, it loads the free starter edition... How can I fix this? I first tried unlinking my Ubisoft account from my steam profile. When that didnt work, I also unchecked the starter edition DLC box which appeared on my steam game homepage so that it now says "uninstalled", but i still dont have access to the full game.

you sure you bought the full game and not the starter on accident?

Delete the game on steam

go library, i want to delete this game, press yes when it asks you to. Login to the account where you have Gold Edition. and try it

If you bought the standard edition on steam and its still using starter try using another Uplay account. Since the first Uplay might be associated with starter

Well it didnt say Starter Edition. The only search returns were For Honor and For Honor Gold Edition. I chose the basic For Honor.

what do u see in game? did u check the characters and everything? u should show us screenshots, what u said is really unclear

On startup the game should ask if you wanted to link the new gold edition to your Ubisoft account

I took screens but Im not sure how to post them in these forums (sorry im kind of new to steam). All of the progress I made in the starter edition is still present and the characters are locked away as well. I think I will try reinstalling the game as you suggested earlier. I will keep my eye out for the ubisoft window. I may have missed it before.

you can upload them to a site called Imagur, then u paste the links here.

well if ur characters are locked u have the starter edition. did you try to use another Uplay account to link your full edition / standard to that uplay account?

anyway your situation is quite mess up, u should contact Ubi by support by all means.

I will try that if the reinstall didnt fix the problem. Thanks for your help, Tak.

Reinstall will not fix anything bro. u need to switch out another account or try delete the game from your library. I am not telling u to reinstall the game. i am telling u to remove the game from your steam library.

Steps to delete a steam game:
1. Select the game in your Steam library.
2. Click on the 'Support' link on the right.
3. Click on the option 'I want to permanently remove this game from my account'.
4. Follow the steps.
