Getting Far Cry 2 online multiplayer to work

Posted 30th November 2008 in Games

The online key is really just your CD key. I think you have to type it in with hypens, but not in caps.

You need to register at ubi.com for it to work. The password form don’t accept certain characters, so I wouldn’t use non-alphanumeric characters if I were you.

If you get a PunkBuster error while loading an online map, you must update it (PunkBuster, not the game). For some reason it didn’t work updating it with the PBSetup client, so I had to download the actual update instead. Go to the Far Cry 2 page on the PunkBuster website, download the latest file for your operating system, and put it in the “Far Cry 2/bin/pb/htm” folder.

Edit: Do not ask me for a CD key.

    seriously, whats ur cd key? is it the “install keycode”?

  9. Inglorion wrote on 19th May 2009 18:41

    Yes. Your CD key is what you had to type in when you installed the game. In Steam you can right-click the game title and select “View game CD key.”

  12. i still cant play multiplayer wrote on 6th July 2009 08:23

    i did everything it says in the article and yet it still doesn’t let me create an online user. It says that ”The far cry 2 server is not available at this time. Please try again later.” Any advise on what i can do?

  13. Inglorion wrote on 6th July 2009 14:11

    Well it sounds like you should try again later. It’s the server, not you.

    fuck you all

  15. help wrote on 17th July 2009 08:09

    it gives me the “The far cry 2 server is not available at this time. Please try again later” although I input the cd code right…
    I have a USB 3G modem ,does it cause the problem or it’s the server?
    please help

    Make sure you’re playing on a dedicated server.

  18. Inglorion wrote on 28th July 2009 11:55

    Ask on the official forums. It’s not like you’re missing out on a great multiplayer experience anyway.
