Ubisoft and Far cry 3

[Ice Scream]

So,

Nearly 2 years ago I bought Far cry 3 on steam sale, but only today I decided to play it, however when launching game Ubisoft connect asks for cd-key which I don't have, huh? I checked everything i could but there is no cd key at all.

What can I do now?

Ubisoft games do not use CD keys on steam. Not for many years.
If you see that message that means your UBISOFT CONNECT client ist outdated.
So, install the newest UBISOFT CONNECT client from the UBISOFT homepage.
Then log in with your Ubisoft account (if you have one or make a new one).
Then link that UBISOFT account to your STEAM account in the client settings.
THEN you just start the game on STEAM and it will ask you if you want to link the game to your UBISOFT account. Say yes and then the game will start.

Alright, something has turned out for good, except, for some odd reason the game has automatically registered to my old forgotten second ubisoft account which i dont have access to. Well, I guess in the end this is gg since i dont remember password to that email.

This guide can help you recover that account:

In the future, use a password book next to your pc and write all passwords and accounts down. Ive been thru natural disasters and never lost my accounts because of this password notebook i use. Use a physical real life book and not notepad as someone can look on your pc alot of times for the passwords lists.

Well, info you provided to me is about steam account, but I am talking about ubisoft account + email i used for that account which I dont have access to anymore, I tried to recover email itself but with no luck since i could not mention possible password(s) i used before.

Yeah, I did that and already got answer plus closed case, except they provided me with form link to recover an account, but question is what is possibility they will help me with it.

I have to point out something about my ubisoft accounts that I dont have explaining.

So I have 2 ubisoft accounts. 1st is main account, second I made when I forgot main account access. and it went back and forth with this, so on my second account there are 2 games linked to plus 1 counts as inactive. So, I know login to my main account BUT for some reason when I try to launch Far cry 3 ubisoft launcher then asks for me to re-enter the password to second account. and get this, I have never activated Far cry 3 to either of accounts because i bought this game on steam only ~2 years ago and for some odd reason I have partial access to my second account in ubisoft client and it states that I have registered Far cry 3 since 2012. How on earth client can have more than 1 active account?

Yes, now I know, I wrote ticket to support yesterday, they responded to me in it and closed right away but they did provide me recover form link, so I filled it as much as I could. But it is not that easy, I dont have access to that email anymore which was assigned to create my second account.

To recover your Ubisoft account without access to your email, you can contact Ubisoft support directly through their website and explain your situation. They may ask for proof of account ownership, such as linked game purchases or other identifying information.

It is done, I was able to change my second account email to new one.
