General Troubleshooting

Problem: “Invalid Code” or “Code Not Recognized”

  • Ensure you copied the entire code without extra spaces
  • Watch for similar characters: 0 vs O, 1 vs I vs l, 5 vs S
  • Try typing the code manually instead of copy-paste
  • If still invalid, contact us with your order number

Problem: “Code Already Redeemed”

  • Check if you already activated it on another account
  • Check your game library – it might already be there
  • If you didn’t redeem it, contact us immediately – we’ll replace it

Problem: “Region Locked” or “Not Available in Your Region”

  • The key is restricted to specific regions
  • Check the product description for region information
  • Your account region must match the key region
  • Do NOT use VPN – this can get your account banned
  • Contact us if you purchased the wrong region
