Codes for GOW1 and 3

Hi

I just bought GOW4 and when I tried to redeem the codes for the previous games only worked the codes for GOW2 and GOWJ, the ones for GOW1 and GOW3 allways said that there's an error.

The live chat suport told me to expose that error here.

Any solution?

Thanks

:)

 

Can't redeem legacy code for GoW1

Hi,

I've received my codes for Gears 1, 3 and Judgement (No GoW2 in Germany) tonight.

The codes for 3 and Judgement were redeemable (after several attemps on different plattforms)

The code for GoW1 won't work. GoW1 isn't banned in Germany anymore.

:-/

 

Code for GOW1 not activable

Because I have the console bundle version (including GOW4 Ultimate Edition) I got a message from "Xbox Live" with the codes for GOW1, GOW3, etc.

I got 3 codes. 2 of the codes are activable.

But the first code for GOW1 cannot be activated. I get the message it is invalid. I get the message on XBOX ONE and also on PC (Windows 10).

Is this issue known? Where can I get a valid key for GOW1 now?

 

does your account region match you actual region if not that would be why

You must change it under my account and change my region on this website )not locale fyi) and there is a 3month waiting period to change back

Then change it on your console

 

I found a solution in another forum.

As I live in Andorra and my account is set to Spain, it seems that there's some kind og regional protection (maybe for violent content) that makes that in some countries the code of the games is not accepted.

So, I used a free VPN for simulating that my computer is in Spain (I used "tunnelbear", it's a free VPN), then went to the web of Xbox.com (not directly in the console) for redeeming the code, and the codes of GOW1 and 3 were accepted, now the games are
dowloading to my console.

If the problem is that there's a regional protection maybe the people of Microsoft should explain that in the error screen, not that "something went wrong", the same with the online support.

I hope everybody else finds a solution too.
