I've managed to activate and the request code worked just fine. Am just registering the game atm. Seems like login servers are a 'lil slow mind :]

so my key finally worked and downloaded the 25mg update but now it wont install it and when i launch the game it says us launcher to activate...idk what the prob is. i cant create an account or anything...i have the retail version

Hmm, maybe you should open a ticket to CDProjekt on their website - I managed to get everything done last night, although the DLC code redeeming part of the launcher is very ambiguous!

Guess last night was just pot luck for most of the people trying to activate and register etc etc...

Just out of curiosity - If I were to enter a redeemable code in the launcher now, would it work fine after the 1.1 Patch?

The DLC is the 'Mysterious Merchant Pack' - I got it from the retailer GAME

Cheers!

no, the dlc download from the launcher is broken atm

Try it. If it doesn't go here and CDPR will provide an immediate solution for you.

Ah brilliant, thanks a lot Mippoh!

The system with the DLC seems solid too, as opposed to instant unlocks it unlocks them gradually through quests. Good stuff!

Thanks again
