Issues fixed

Trouble activating the game

When you first launch the game, you are given a prompt to activate the game with your included CD key. However it will give an error, but with a trick, you can still activate the game.
Do this
  1. Retrieve your CD key.
  2. Start up the game and wait for the activation window to pop up.
  3. In your task bar, hover over the Activation icon and choose the activation window with the box to put in your CD key.
  4. Paste in the key, then tap enter until it activates, and now the game should work.

"You must specify big file to load" on first startup

Open the game from the launcher
  1. Go to <path-to-game>.
  2. Click on Launcher.exe.
  3. Configure your settings and then launch the game.
  4. After this, you can launch the game directly from Uplay.
