Similar to deal below:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/555368

It seems Farcry 3 is offered in China and Division for other regions.

I claimed it by following Junk Sifter's steps:

Method 1 Using Chrome Device simulation - credit to CC123

No need to use your phone - works perfectly fine in your desktop browser:

Open the webpage
Open the chrome dev tools (F12 on Windows)
Press Ctrl + Shift + M
Refresh page (to be safe)
Click on big blue button, and the screen will pop up with "All good!"
Enjoy

Method 2 Using Chrome on Android phone (seems to work with iPhone + Safari as well)

1.Logged into the Australian Ubi store here: https://store.ubi.com/anz
2.Clicked deal link: https://store.ubi.com/cn/game?dwvar_56c4947a88a7e300458b45de…
3.Click on big blue button, and the screen popped up with "All good!" and "Game activated in your library" or something along the lines
If a different screen pops up with an entry box prefilled with "+61" it's asking you to set up a phone number, scroll down and hit the white button which is "skip"

    This should be popular. Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?

  • FireRunner on 01/09/2020 - 22:28

    Followed the steps and get the “Game activated in your library” message but it doesn’t appear in my games list on the PC launcher

    • poci.wasiats on 01/09/2020 - 22:29

      go to uplay -> acct -> acct info -> my games

      Did you follow the steps from your phone? It doesn't work from the PC browser for me.

      on PC or Android?
      on PC it seems to indicate you claimed it but the game does not appear in the library.

      • FireRunner on 01/09/2020 - 22:34

        Yeah, I did initially through my pc browser. Saw in the previous China giveaway that you needed to go through mobile. Can confirm it’s in my library after following steps on my iPhone

        • dullbeard on 01/09/2020 - 22:54

          Same. Confirmed working via phone browser after merely appearing to work via desktop browser.

  • Koipanda on 01/09/2020 - 22:29

    Thank OP but how come it doesnt show in my games list and when i click redirect me to uplay 'activate a key' pops up

    Works. You must add the game on your phone browser. I used iPhone safari.

    • assarabbiya on 01/09/2020 - 22:34

      Thanks will update with the iPhone + Safari

  • xuqi on 01/09/2020 - 22:33

    I received the "All Good" message on PC but the game didn't show up in my launcher. I then added through my phone browser, and now it shows. Thanks OP.

      Same, PC browser received "All Good" but didn't show up in launcher. Added through phone browser and it shows.

  • Selenium on 01/09/2020 - 22:38

    Worked for me. I can't remember if I already own it on Steam but if so, this is my third copy. If I ever get the urge to replay, I think I'm set!

    • Selenium on 01/09/2020 - 22:39

      Now I have it twice in my Ubi account! Weird. But there ya go. Wonder if the Chinese one is different somehow.

  • jamba on 01/09/2020 - 22:39

    Can't find the deal link. Its only showing The Division

    instructions are a bit convoluted.

    all you have to do is log into chinese ubi and claim via the /cn/ link and it will register to your ubisoft profile.

    • jamba on 01/09/2020 - 22:42

      Thanks for the clarification

    • creamandpaper on 01/09/2020 - 23:02

      worked cheers

    • Zachary on 03/09/2020 - 14:01

      …I can't read chinese, can you?

  • DMFD on 01/09/2020 - 22:40

    the problem with these "hacks" is I dont remember my password and I am sick of changing it… least with the uplay client on the pc its all saved! ……. until it logs me out

    • ygyf on 01/09/2020 - 22:58
      +1

      if you use Chrome, go to Setting > Password > in the search bar type Ubisoft and your account detail should be there.

    • Freezies on 04/09/2020 - 23:07
      +1

      It's hardly a hack. Log into your account then click a link. The only thing you have to do is remember your own password if you don't have a password manager. Try Bitwarden. It's free, open source, cross platform and very highly regarded.

  • spinferno on 01/09/2020 - 22:48

    Great deal, OP!

    Hmm I've tried on:
    chrome on android phone over 4G connection
    chrome on ipad pro over NBN connection
    safari on ipad pro over NBN connection

    and in all those instances I've only gotten the division to show up.
    What am I doing wrong?

    • El-CheapoNazi on 01/09/2020 - 22:53
      1. On your mobile device login to your ubi acc.
      2. Open a new tab and navigate to this OzB page and click on the “go to deal”.

      Try that.

      • spinferno on 01/09/2020 - 22:58

        thanks for your help, I tried the CN link below and got the game added.

    • Hybroid on 01/09/2020 - 22:53

      1) Open Safari on iPad
      2) Go to https://store.ubi.com/anz
      3) Login to your Ubi account.
      4) Go to https://store.ubi.com/cn/game?dwvar_56c4947a88a7e300458b45de…
      5) Click big blue button.

      Confirmed works: https://i.imgur.com/haSgUcC.png

      • spinferno on 01/09/2020 - 22:57

        great! the CN link is what works!! legend!!
        it says it's activated on the CN site, but my local instance of UPLAY on my desktop is not showing up, is that just a matter of time to propogate?
        thanks again for your help!

        • Hybroid on 01/09/2020 - 22:58

          Log out of Uplay on PC and back in, it'll load.

          • spinferno on 01/09/2020 - 23:05

            @Hybroid: when i click on the chinese button, i get a message that says
            "ALL GOOD

            Your game is activated on your Uplay Library.

            你有UPLAY吗？
            You can preload the game now on Uplay."

            My account connection seems good because the profile on the top of the chinese site is my ubisoft username

            I have logged out of uplay and logged back in and still the game doesn't show

            • Hybroid on 01/09/2020 - 23:12

              @spinferno: Same message and that's all it took for me. Loaded fine in Games tab. Give it a bit and try restarting Uplay app again.

              • spinferno on 01/09/2020 - 23:24

                @Hybroid: yeah I think I've gotten that "activated on your library" message a couple of times a couple of ways over the web, uplay client still shows only the division when I restart it. I think I'll reboot. Thanks for being a champ!!

                • x d on 02/09/2020 - 00:17

                  @spinferno: Did the same path on my PC, even used HOLA to VPN over to china, had the same activated message and still not showing up on my uplay loader.

                  Eventually gave the chrome on android technique and it worked. Can't explain it really.

  • brent3000 on 01/09/2020 - 22:51

      How do we open chrome dev tools if f12 is something else? f12 for me is airplane mode…

    • RPGPlayer on 02/09/2020 - 16:55

      Hi,
      The above PC method worked, thanks but didn't show on my Uplay account.

      However when I installed and launched the Uplay application it showed.

      Just a tip if it's not showing on your webpage account.

      Cheers

    That's not fair, I payed $70 for this back in 2012.

    • R00D on 02/09/2020 - 20:38

      I played again recently. While the story is great, compared with 5 and New Dawn, it's just old. The enemies are dumb AF.

    • Zachary on 03/09/2020 - 14:04
      +1

      HAHAHAHAHAHA, did you at least played it before this showed up? If not and only just looked at your account then you basically paid $70 for nothing then other than to brag that you own the game….but not touched it since purchase….

      I guess that's why when you buy games, make sure you intend to play the games you buy, preferrably soon and ideally right after you buy them…or else you'll regret it when a freebie shows up later and you still haven't played the game yet and you're like "What?! Really I paid $100 and it's now free?!?!?!?!??!!??!"

    This is a still a great game. I have replayed it several times, most recently only a couple of months ago, and it holds up very well.

    If you haven’t played it do yourself a favour and cop this. First game I ever 100% on Xbox and I had to do the 4 player co-op missions by myself to accomplish it! Great memories.

  • OzBoganYeah on 01/09/2020 - 23:04

    Not working for me. Has anyone tried and successfully claimed on pc (Firefox, chrome, etc) as well? Or does it only work via iPhone + safari? Doesn’t work for me here for iPad, pc and iPhone. I tried claiming the last deal on the war game but it didn’t work: pc, iPhone, iPad, etc. tried over 5 times on different devices and browsers yet it never worked! Frustrating. Don’t know why

    • flickr on 01/09/2020 - 23:10
