Assassin's Creed III UPlay Problem

you need to be in the year 1753, to get this game

The game doesn't automatically appear in your UPlay library -- you should have received a Digital River order information email, that contains the activation key and the downloadable game (a hefty 15.3GB too) in a link. You need to download and install the game, then it pops up in UPlay and asks for the activation key. Ubicrap doesn't have a "redeem product code" option in UPlay yet.

GJ Ubi! Way to compete with Steam and Origin! golf clap

You must've received an email from Ubi, download the client from the link in the mail, install the game and THEN enter your username and password of uplay. This is the opposite of what Steam and Origin do but whatever, it's Ubi.

well if they gave you your serial number you can actually activate the game but you need to add some command line in your Uplay shortcut.

Thats normal. Uplay sucks, you need to wait and will get a downloadlink and key per mail. Can take a while, because its ubisoft.

Uplay sucks, bought splinter cell conviction in sales, game won't work at all.. It's not Uplay it's playU :p

It's simple... after your online order via the ubi store, wait a little to retrieve a confirm email, this will contain a link to a download manager for the game and a serial to activate once the game has downloaded.

so.... UdontPlay

UdontPlay is better than UPlay, avoid Far Cry 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 they require UPlay even on steam
