I figured out the email account redeem problem for real

Post » Sat Feb 07, 2009 4:33 am

After hours on the phone and trying many things I got it to work. Ill list the steps. But first

YOU SHOULD USE A DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESS AND PW THAN YOUR FORUM ACCOUNT

1:) Ok close everything and start the game

2:) click on Multiplayer

3.) click create new account and do so
you should have no problem doing this in the game
I picked a crazy nickname and an 8+ char pw

4.) The game actually should let you in Multiplayer now if you entered your key earlier and it saved it.
I didnt have a problem with this eventually.

5.) NOW QUIT THE GAME AND CLOSE IT COMPLETELY

6.) Now you go about everything the way they want you to

7.) Go to http://www.gamesas.com/limitededition

8.) it tells you to login in the upper right on the white button.

9.) use your new email address you chose for the account you created in the game

10.) it should let you login and it will bring up the redeem code field in the box. NOT another
asking for your email and pw. I put in my code and cause i use firefox i did have to allow a popup for
whatever reason. Dont forget that or it wont work.
11.) It will confirm your download as complete and finished properly.

12.) Close Browser and start the game and it will recognize the content and it is apparently only multiplayer
content.

I really hope that helps people.

Hello guys. BELIEVE me i know how you feel. I didnt even sleep at all. I was so upset because of this. EA tech
support unfortunately could not assist with Cryteks website and linking of accounts with emails , etc.
The thing is I was able to use an email address that Mycrisis.com kept telling me i couldnt use it because it was already being used. I have been trying to get this website to work since it was created. The fact it still says it is in Beta tells you something. BUT.....

The list i gave is from a lot of hard work , thinking and trouble shooting. I tried everything. Ask yourself ,

Where does it say to create an account from within the game?

You can still use your nickname. I did. It was so simple man. You can use any email address too. Something i was
unable to do before forcing me to use like a gmail or yahoo webmail. What do you have to lose seriously.
you shouldnt force yourself into the torture for to much longer. This problem is spelled out simple

BETA.

Give my list a try with just some email address. you dont have to redeem your code. you just want to see that option come up the way it is supposed to. Then bail if you dont want to use that email address.
Good luck and i am REALLY TRYING TO HELP MY FELLOW PC USERS. I played Crysis and Warhead on release day for both.
