problem installing a game

Davidf1

I recently bought a pc game download of game.co.uk I never really gamed on a computer before so I don't really know what I'm doing! Game.co.UK sent me an email with a game download link and also an activation code. I clicked the link and it required me to install mini downloaded so I did and then my game started to download after a very long time( crap WiFi) it began the installation the bar filled up a tiny bit then error I cannot get the game to install and its really annoying me! I then tried going to origin and steam and entering the activation code but they both said invalid can anyone help me? Thanks

What game is it, and does the downloader have a name (i.e. Steam, Origin, UPlay) etc?

It's unfortunate you used Game.co.uk for your first PC game. Most people buy games from Steam or Origin or buy game keys from sites like dlcompare.com and add those keys to Steam or Origin. That way, your games are registered in the cloud so if you change PC or whatever you can easily download them again and you can also easily repair the game if a file gets corrupted.

I'd say your best bet is to contact Game.co.uk's support team as I doubt many of us will have experience with their downloader

I have bought games with steam! And origin before I just had like 10€ credit on game.co.UK and wanted to use it up! They did give me an activation code but when I enter it in steam or origin it says invalid? On they're site it says the code can be used with steam origin and uplay! But it won't work?

If it says on their site that it can be activated on Steam, i'd definitely contact their support. Either ask for a refund or get a new key re-issued to you.
