Strange Key Activation Message

Closed
wisnoskij

Just bought the new Bundle Star bundle, and all the keys activate with really strange messages.

"Your (double space here) promo code has successfully .... This content will be available to you one you've activated the full game...."
And then nothing listed in the title box and no chance to start downloading the game, right away.

Did anyone else get this? Is this a new Steam bug?

They all worked btw (checked the Steam store page), except for the one which said it was invalid.

You activated a promo code for Warframe. You need to install Warframe itself to get access to it.
It's like activating a DLC without having the game itself.

I'd gotten a couple promo codes for Warframe before, and they're not Steam redeemable. You need to activate them on the in-game store or the dev website.

I don't think you can activate the promo key on Steam client.

Except that the promo code for Warframe doesn't activate through Steam at all, giving an invalid key message if you try instead of following directions...

You activated Warframe content, but don't have the game installed. Then Steam got it's error message stuck so it kept saying the same message for every key. Just restart Steam and all will be fine.

I've had this issue in the past before, a restart fixed everything for me and I hope it does for you too.
