    Season Pass fail

    I just purchased a uplay season pass key for far cry 5 at a non ubisoft site but when I try to access add-on packs in game it sends me to steam store to purchase?

    IF you bought the game on steam .. YOU MUST ONLY BUY DLC ON STEAM

    the uplay only version of the season pass and DLC will not work as steam changes the install and even the save file location on the steam version

    see this support article

    https://support.ubisoft.com/en-GB/Fa...eam-and-Uplay/

    the UPLAY only version of the season pass and DLC will not work with the steam version of the base game

    steam does the same thing with many UBISOFT titles ..if you buy your game on steam you gotta get your DLC on steam .. remember Valve takes a 30% cut ..so thats why they lock you into only getting the DLC on steam

    and with FC 5 yes they changed the save file and install paths ..so thats why it would never work

    with the steam version of the game, saves your game to


    (again it says Drive C below ....as thats the drive i always install Uplay to .. your drive letter may vary depending on what drive you used to install Uplay to )


    C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
    of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 4311

    the Uplay only version they go in
    C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
    of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 1803

    so your gonna have to contact the place you got the DLC from, and seek a refund .. then buy your DLC only on STEAM , if thats is where you bought your base game from.

    It was from a cdkey site I can't get a refund.
    Its a lame setup, why I have to have uplay installed at all when I buy thru steam sux.
    I will NEVER buy anything thru uplay ever again, consider me and my friends unhappy customers.
