Promo code wont work? Read here!

Post » Fri Jun 03, 2011 1:00 am

Well i got everything working except for being able to use my promo code. It says its activated and whenever i go ingame it just erases itself. Not that big of a deal since lvl5 is easy to get anyways. Hopefully crytek compensates the pre-purchasers with a little extra fun fun, but i wouldnt be crushed it they didnt

I don't know why you need your email to login to get the code. I only used my username and it worked just fine. I'm using firefox. HOWEVER.. when trying to join servers to PLAY the game, i get a common error everyone is probably having. "Serial Code is in use." WTF? come on fix it please? What is the cause of this?

So accordind to the link in the first post, you need to login with your email. But when you do, it tells you to login with your nick instead, and would not log you in. Great going crytek... When you check your profile to see if the email is the same, there is no place to even enter your email.

if i clicked multiplayer thereafter the a number of Bonus for the Limited Edition. Does this mean that the extra bonus have already been downloaded? or do I have to manually download it from gamesas.com/redeemcode? Thanks for any help.

The problem with "Serial Number in Use" is also a persistent problem in multiplayer.

You are still receiving the series number in use error? We made some changes to stop this, if it's still occurring then it needs to be investigated further.

I redeemed my Promo code from gamesas.com/limitededition and I even got an email about it. The problem is that I am not seeing it ingame. How come I cannot see my promo stuff ingame? I want to be able to use it.

redeem code finally took late lastnight and a history indicated--yeepee; however, nothing unlocked. this morning, my history is gone; I re-enter the code and told limit reached. no history. so I am out waiting on the support who I guess have a few questions to answer from a few of us.

I am now with those getting a bit pissed off with this amateur effort in and around the redeem code and locked items.

I got my steam version to save the CD key by going into the Steamapps/common/Crysis 2/bin32 folder, and setting the crysis exe to run as admin.....


Also still waiting on my Lvl 5 LE bonus, the code was accepted, and i got the email, but i am still level 1 in multiplayer.

I'm having this problem as well, on top of not being able to use my LE code.

Also, every time I try to access multiplayer, it asks me for the serial number. Apparently, it has an issue with remembering the number itself.

I spent fourteen hours trying to redeem my code. I still can't get it to work. I have tried everything I read in the forums and nothing will work for me. I just pulled the cd out and through it as hard as I could and it stuck in the drywall. I will be using it for A $60 dollar coaster. Don't buy this game it will turn you into raged maniac.

If you go into the list of dog tags i.e. mystery, medals, awards, etc. there should be a button on the bottom that says something along the lines of "change outer tag/border". I can't remember precisely because I did it last night but you should notice the frame of your dog tag change to look a bit shinier when you click the button.

Still not able to redeem my Steam LE (Serial) Code or the Crysis 2 Bundle Code, I've tried all the instructions on this site and EA's support site and it still is an issue. Even tried different browsers with no success.
Other "Complaints & Grievances" ; )
- The game wasn't "unlocked" on steam until 10AM EST on 3.22.11.
- Then You find out on gamesas.com that the game actually isn't even released yet for another 2 days according to some epic doomsday timer
- Also You find out that the level 10 rank You build up to in the Crysis Demo has not been transferred over to the full version even though You're using the same login/password aka account.
- Then You enter the multiplayer menu of the game for the 33rd time after entering Your Serial code for the same amount of times and try to join a match which tells You "Serial number currently in use"
- Wow, too bad Steam doesn't do refunds . . .

In any case, not to sound like I'm CRY'ing or anything, I'm just so emotional and teary eyed that the boys at CryTek are doing their damnedest to solve this issue . . . its so touching . . .

I know You said You don't want to play MP without LE unlocks and neither did I but seriously, buy the time they fix this, there's gonna be people who started with level 1 and are at level 20. There's already players with level 12 apparently, I was able to join a multiplayer match today and let me tell You it svcks when others have a grenade launcher attachments and proceed to nade spam You to death while You're throwing Hoplite spears at them . . .
Seriously, I'll be rank 12 by the time they fix this nonsense, at which point my promo code becomes useless.
What they should have done is make a code that increases Your rank by 5 ranks not increase it TO 5.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some error that if You're rank 12 for instance and You activate that code, Your rank will be lowered to 5 to match the "promo code"
What a frackin' joke this all is . . .

Got all of my codes working. I followed one post here in order to ensure that I will be able to redeem here.
( Note: I installed Crysis 2 first and made sure I don't have the items in my account. )
Note: use internet explorer ( since firefox/google chrome may have some options turned on that may affect the process / steps )
Note: make sure to disable any addons on Internet Explorer and make sure it will not remember your username and password login for gamesas.com for this process.

1. Make an account with gamesas.com
2. Sign out of gamesas.com and make sure to have installed the game first.
3. Clear your Browsing History:

>Tools> Internet Options>General Tab>Browsing History (Category)
+ Click Delete Button and make sure to put a check mark on everything.

4. Close the Internet Explorer and reopen it again.
5. You may do any of the following first:

[a] Visit gamesas.com/redeemcode
- Login using the "EMAIL ADDRESS" and not the nickname you created for your gamesas account.
- Input the code to redeem the Threat Awareness Module.

[b] Visit gamesas.com/limitededition
- Login using the "EMAIL ADDRESS" and not the nickname you created for your gamesas account.
- Input the code to redeem the Limited Edition Content.

NOTE:
If you first followed process [A] or [B], no need to logout to redeem the other code. Immediately go the the address/URL bar and type the next site address to redeem the code.

Doing the process above, you'll be able to redeem the code.
Hope to see you guys online as well. I'm enjoying the game a lot but I do pray Dx11 Support Patch would be released. I really, really hope for it.

@HotEMTB
once you reach process A or B, you will have a screen asking you to login first. After you login you will have a screen wherein it has a box to type the code in.

Almost forgot to add, if you redeemed it successfully, the email address associated to your mycrisys.com account will receive two email notifications that the redemption was successful.

Start the game and check your items at multiplayer.
