Atytse Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I have been playing the beta no problem but I can't seem to activate the full game with the 2nd key. Steam keeps saying it's not available in my country so the game is not available. But I've been playing the beta no problem, just can't activate full game...

feltusen Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi lads, ive seen some of you have had some trouble activating your key. This is a howto: Log-in to GMG site find your key. Your key looks like this: gjnn-jjhft. First line is beta key Gjjvc-uygj. <- COPY this into steam. Only the second line is the key not all of it. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luzertof Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I have this problem in Germany. I got my key from Nuuvem. No problem with the purchase, no problem with the Beta-Key. However, Steam tells me I can't activate the full key because the game is not available in my country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone else looking, what he means is this: Under my Games tab in GMG, I see FM14 with the following listed under "key" XXXXX-T3VDT-XXXXX XXXXX-06P2M-XXXXX To get the full game I need to go to Steam, activate a game and enter ONLY XXXXX-06P2M-XXXXX.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 31, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 31, 2013 Some regions are locked and codes from that region will only work in that region. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luzertof Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 There was no such restriction announced when I pre-purchased it when I worked in Brazil. And the Beta-Code worked, too, so I can't tell the retailer "yes, of course, the Beta-Key worked and I played it and used the product but give me my money back because the full key doesn't work".

legnerschorsch Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Some regions are locked and codes from that region will only work in that region. And? What does that mean?

Luzertof Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'd suggest reading the house rules before shooting your mouth off, we're trying to help as much as we can. Where did you purchase your code from? Nuuvem.co.br . They only sell to people located in South America. And I was located physically in South America the second I made the pre purchase. There was no mention the game might be or will be region locked. Due to the fact I had several problems with gamefly 2012 purchasing the FM13 and I have to import the game anyway because I'm from Germany it seemed a perfect alternative. Maybe I need to tell my boss he must send me back to Brazil so I can activate and play the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atytse Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi Neil, thanks very much for your help. Perhaps for next year it would be great to just have 1 code for both beta and full game instead of having 2. Also, if there's indeed a locked region issue, would be great if the forum could state that clearly before we make our purchases (I tried searching on footballmanager.com and couldn't really find any info about that, maybe it's very hidden or not obvious). Anyway, hoping for better distribution next year. Great game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a pain, but I'd suggest closing Steam again and reverifying a couple of times. If it's one code (which I think it is for Amazon) it should update - however it has been known to take a little bit of time in the past. I know it's frustrating having to try these things when you've paid for a game and it should just work, but please do give it another shot. Thanks.
