I can't login to Crysis 2 game with my gamesas.com accoun

Post » Thu Aug 23, 2012 11:56 pm

In all honesty I found EA support very useful.

First, they sent me another LE code after I explained my situation. Unfortunately the code didn't work, but I left it at that. At least they tried.
Second, they gave me a 20$ coupon for my next purchase. Hopefully this one will work in the future.
Third, they excused themselves sincerely twice, heh.
Fourth, they are well aware of the issue.

Then again, I don't see what EA has to do with this website not working or gamespy. They only thing they can do is apply pressure. This is entirely up to Crytek to fix.

Again, don't hold your breath.

What good would another LE code do if I can't stuff it in my CD-Key list on Steam?
What good is a $20 coupon for my "next purchase" when I don't BUY anything from EADM? Are they going to give me a promo code for Steam?
What good is them excusing themselves? I still can't play online.
What good is them being just aware of the problem?

Crytek (per the EULA) does not provide support. Literally, the EULA reads 10. Support

CRYTEK will not provide any support for CRYSIS. Please do not call or send email to CRYTEK regarding CRYSIS, as Crytek will not be able to respond or answer these inquiries.

So at this point, I have to ask.. will I have to write this game off as an overly expensive singleplayer experience? My patience is at an end now.

Had this problem too until now. I found a weird fix especially for the LE users.

Here's what I did - after putting my LE code on my email - I login and find out yeah you can't login on the game but can on the site. I Tried registering a new account from crysis 2 client - says email is in use. so... I took a risk.

1. delete said gamesas account with LE code [yes delete]
2. create new account on crysis 2 client [yes, in-game. yes, you will lose the nick but if that really really really matters, well I'm sorry.]
3. Login. You still get your LE goods.

Happy gaming~

edit: to clarify, I registered with same email as old deleted account.

Okay, this is really frustrating. I bought the full game with hopes that login problem would be long gone so I think we consumers are entitled to some sorts of compensation. Why even ship it if you cant access and play it?

of course it works but a lot of people have problem with their old account and they add the bonus content to old accounts so there is no reason to create new one

Guys i have solution for everyone who have old gamespay account.

I used this method back in Unreal Tournament 3 which had separate name-space in gamespy registry.

Problem of gamesas.com:

Actually it (and game itself) should accept login and password of your old gamespy account and automaticly create rest of account data for you or ask to enter additional dta, but due of poor coding from Crytek side, in most cases you will fail to login with your gamespy account and will be forced to create MyCrisys account.
But in fact whenever you will create gamesas account here at site, or in game - it will create Gamespy account in sub-name space.

This where the tick begins:

When you register at gamesas you need to enter EXACTLY SAME NAME AS YOU HAVE IN YOUR NORMAL GAMESPY ACCOUNT, SAME E-MAIl as you have in Gamespy account AND SAME PASSWORD!
If you will register here with that trick, your new gamesas account will be merged with old Gamespy account with same name, e-mail and password, so you would be able to use your old gamespy id in Crysis 2.

If you was smart enough to register here with same old Gamespy name you may use your account settings in gamesas to change E-mail and password, and all you need to do - set same e-mail and password as in your gamespy account.

In case if somebody other here registered with your gamespy id name , you must claim from Crytek to return this name to you, because by design it should belongs to you and you should login with it here, but due of fault of Crytek, this sub-registry creates exploit in Gamespy, that may allow other user who registered here, to hijack your old gamespy id name and this is legal resposibility of Crytek to not allow this happen.
New users registered here may hijack your old unique gamespy id is they will try lo login to other gamespy services with dublicated name created here, so when you will return back to your gamespy account, it may force you to select new name, since your old name was taken by someone. thats how i lost my old name at Gamespy, due of same bug in other old game.

Im not sure if this is still possible to hijack gamespy name this way, maybe gamespy fixed it, or maybe dublicated name will stay only in Crysis 2 names sub-registry, but anyway, if you had name as gamespy id before its legaly yours and you must claim for it return if someone else taken it here due of mistake of Crytek.

If you lost you bonus content due of this account mess, its you legal right to claim for transfer content licence and other data from account to account, and its duty of Crytek to help and deal with mess they created, if they will refuse to help you with that problem - tell them that you will sue them, if they will resist to help again, sue them for fraud and violation of warranties and other laws. You paid for content and its yours!

In short: Make account info the same between gamesas and Gamespy. I've done that, and it hasn't worked either. Yes, it sounds like I keep saying "no, no, no", but this is the truth. I have tried these things.

Have you tried to chance your e-mail and password after creation of account?
Try this trick - change password to something new, than change back to password matching your gamespy account, same about e-mail. also name probably should be in same case and Freyar could be no same as freyar.
And yeah dont forget to login into game MP after you will sync accounts data, pehaps merge will happen when you will login in game.

And do you really sure that everything 100% matched?
This worked for me here, just today! This trick worked in UT3 years ago.
You are doing something wrong or maybe you encountered some bug in system and should try again but in different way, and dont forget to login from game.
Oh yeah i forgot to mention that i played Crysis 2 demo before and used there my gamespy id without registration here, perhaps this may help.
Try download demo, log - in wiht gamespy id (since demo used direct gamespy ids, not gamesas id), and then sync account here and in full game.

Funny thing - when i activated my bonus code, i received e-mail:

[here was my real name, but funniest thing - i never entered it at MyCrisys, it was taken from my old gamespy id].-

SAVE THIS EMAIL.

Congratulations! This is verification of your Code Redemption from EA and Crytek, powered by GameSpy Direct2Game [thats even more funny - DLC store and unlock transactions powered by Direct2Drive related system called Direct2Game]:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Redemption Date: 3/28/2011 2:15:29 AM


Crysis 2 Limited Edition Bonus Unlock $0.00
Tax $0.00
Total $0.00
Thanks again!
----

So this message confirms that gamesas and gamespy account successfully merged. And i suppose if ill check my old gamespy id Direct2Drive transaction history i will find there something about Limited Edition Bonus Unlock.

Crytek messed things pretty hard with gamesas, but method i described worked like charm for me so i dont have login problems anymore.

UPD: Oh yeah! I noticed that this site have pretty bad cookie managment, cookies here corrupted and that one of the reason some things dont work. After all these changes (and maybe before them) clear all your cookies or press F12 in IE7-8 and clear cookie for this domain (not sure this feature available in other browsers) or try to login from different browser. Try to log off and log-in and also try to login with e-mail, not with username.

How the Hell is this not fixed yet? Doesn't seem to be too big of a problem here and it could mean a huge sales drop for a while for Crytek if it isn't resolved.

This is getting really annoying. I created this account as Crysis 2 was released to play Online and receive my Limited Edition Bonus. Now i can only play the Singleplayer Part of the Game. And i also have to learn after reading the posts in this Topic that the Problem is existing since the PC Demo/Beta!? How could such a major Bug not be fixed before releasing the Game?
