Pre-purchased Crysis 2 on Steam for Limited Edition...

Post » Thu Nov 11, 2010 6:28 pm

Yet it accepted my "Bundle" code for the bonus content. I mainly bought the pre-purchased version for the free EXP, guns, dog tags, etc... That's what I really want, but it keeps saying the code was not found. I read some posts about how a lot of people are having this problem as well, and that it's a fault on Crytek's side.. But I just posted this screenshot to make sure I'm doing the process correctly. Thanks for any help!

You're doing it right. It just takes a few tries unfortunately. Try doing it in IE. It tends to be more successful. For what it's worth, you're not missing much. You can hit rank 5 in 4 or 5 games easy.

Well I've been pasting and re-pasting the code in IE for about 2 minutes now and it still says "Promotion code was not found" every time. And I know I'm not missing much, but I bought the game when the Limited Edition was part of the deal, so it's just the principle of the idea that irks me. :/ Guess I'll just try every once in a while to see if it accepts it one of these times... If anyone sees this and finds out when it's working correctly, please post on here when it is! I will check back regularly. Thanks!

The LE game code is what you use to register the game, you may say AKA CD Key ;)

The LE Bundle code is the limited stuff :)

Alright, so I used the first code in the list (LE game code) to register my account for Multiplayer when it asked me to put in a code. Then it accepted my Bundle code the first time for the limited content. But I still never got to level 5 and all the other little goodies they promised when I logged into my Multiplayer account... Is there something I need to do to get that stuff?

I am also getting an "invalid parameter" error whenever I leave a game session and try to connect to a new server. I looked it up and the only "fix" I could find was to restart the entire game. That's pretty retarded and inconvenient. Any other info on this?

It seems you may have been a victim of the dual account problem. Do you login to the game with the same account as you use here on gamesas.com (both the forum and the main site (eg. http://www.gamesas.com/redeemcode)?

Yes I do. Same account name and password. Is that a bad thing?

No thats a good thing :) But I actually have two different logins, with the same email address associated to the two accounts. My inGame account is THe_M@TRiX while here on gamesas.com it is THe_MaTRiX_DK.

If you go to http://www.gamesas.com/redeemcode you can check your purchase history: mine looks like this:

I didn't know that it was possible to buy this limited content? For $1.99 - so thats what we got for preordering; a discount of $1.99 lol

My purchase history looks exactly the same as your screenshot. But I can't "unlock"
it anywhere... the Steam page specifically stated that we would get a free EXP bump, special dog tags, and a special guns(s). While I am already past level 5, it would be nice to get the stuff promised to us in-game. Unless, of course, I have it and I just don't know it. They really should have been clearer on how to go about all of this.

My limited content unlocks when I login to Multiplayer inGame - actually it unlocks every single time I login to MP... Gets kinda annoying after a while :)

Does it have a pop up window when you log in to MP that shows what items you have been given? Or does it just have those yellow markers next to the respective areas and you have to go find the items? Because I don't get either. Everything is blank.

I don't know if this matters, but I pre-purchased it, but didn't actually play it for the first time until yesterday, as well as unlocked everything yesterday. It shouldn't matter since I have the code and purchased it while the offer stood, but I thought I'd mention that.

Anyway, I guess I'll just have to wait until Crytek fixes this mess they call a game launch.
