Online from another country? | Forums

I'm guessing this will require an official response, but perhaps someone knows...

I bought Splinter Cell: Conviction - another UPlay game. I recently found out the reason why I can't go online is that while my copy of the game is from the UK and my Steam account are British), I'm in South Korea, working as a teacher. Apparently they only let Europeans access from Europe, etc.

I'm wondering if Trials Evolution: Gold Edition will be the same as this. Can I buy a UK/NA version and play online from anywhere in the world?

Unfortunately I missed getting in the Closed Beta, so I can't test it out (if the online features were included).

Man that really sucks

Sorry to hear that, keep bumping this so somebody can give you an answer man.

Bump.

Thanks - I'm guessing I might not be able to get a reply here, so I've e-mailed the customer support on the website. No reply yet, but it's only been a day and it's not a regular question, so I expect it'll take a while.

Could I get in on that too? My friend bought the game for me in the US on my account and now im waiting for the code. I'm wondering if I can access it here in Canada

In short, shouldn't be a problem. Keep in mind though, this is from UPlay Support - the same support who at first e-mail, told me Splinter Cell: Conviction didn't have an online server any more when I told them I couldn't (and still can't) connect. As my friends are still playing online and I've read that it's a regional issue I'm taking what they say with a grain of salt.

I asked about this and the answer was that you should contact Uplay support. They know all about Uplay and these restrictions. You can do it in here: http://support.ubi.com/en-GB/

You should experience no problems relating to the game version in England or South Korea if you purchase the game from the international Ubishop.

* = Edited for spelling and to add the link from a follow up question - International Ubishop seems to be the same one with Euro prices that I saw before

They also added that there shouldn't be problems with versions bought from resellers either, such as GreenManGaming or Gamersgate.

Okay, thanks!
