i couldnt find a far cry 2 section on this forum so i thought that i'd just leave this question here. i bought this game about a week ago for the ps3 and i saw that you can unlock 2 exclusive machetes from the main menu. the problem is that whenever i click on the exclusive content option, it doesnt open anything. it just blacks out after a few seconds and then it just goes straight back to the initial loading screen for the game. i already have a uplay account and a registered ubisoft account, but i cant seem to unlock the bonus machetes. why is this? is it no longer possible?
yes thats what it's SUPPOSED to do, but it doesnt do that for me. whenever i click on exclusive content, the screen just turns black and reloads the main menu page. it doesnt open any uplay or ubisoft page. i dont know why it does that. my assumption is that it's not possible anymore, but i want a confirmation.
i know that there's no benefit but i want them for the sake of having them. just tried again today and it didnt work. when i click exclusive content it just blacks out and reverts back to the main menu. it doesnt open anything. i already have a uplay and ubi account. must be a glitch or some weird error. everything else in the game works just fine. i even played a multiplayer match to see if it would unlock it but it didnt.
Hi, please contact Technical Support https://support.ubi.com
yes! i fixed it. turns out all i had to do was unlink my uplay account from my psn ID and then when i turned the game back on it prompted me to link for the machetes. cant believe ubi didnt give me a tip as easy as this. perhaps having a uplay account since 2009 and barely getting the game now made it glitch since i was already connected.
one last thing. it didnt work with my current uplay profile, as it said that it couldnt connect to ubisoft's servers when i tried it with that one. but i made a new email address and a new uplay account and it worked with that one as soon as it connected so now i've got the machetes. just putting this out there for anyone who happens to stumble across this thread in the future via google.
