I have purchased EU: Chronicles from Steam and was able to register HtTT and DW without issue, however when trying to register EU3 I have continually received the invalid key message. I tried various adjustments to the key (ie: replacing 0 for O and vice-versa) as well as trying to use the key in the EU3, Complete, and Chronicles slots, all without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seems like you're not the only one, seeing that there's another thread here on the same topic. It's Steam's responsibility to supply you with a valid EU3 code, whether it's for EU3, Complete or Chronicles makes no practical difference (they in turn get the codes from Paradox).

Try them first; if they can't or won't help you try emailing support@paradoxplaza.com with the full details of the situation.

This used to work fine, but in the last two weeks or so a lot of people who bought DW from Steam are reporting this. We have some threads in the EU3 forum saying the same thing.

I can only guess they've run out of EU3, EU3:Complete or Chronicles codes. They will need to request more from Paradox; please bother Steam until they do this.

I've abstained from posting the same problem here for a week out of deference to this post, but I've found Steam support absolutely byzantine (their "Europa Universalis" support page is rather absymal) and I never got a response when I sent a detailed email to the provided-above address; like with others, I purchased EU3 Chronicles via steam and successfully used the keys provided by Steam to register the expansions, but the base game key does not work no matter how much I fiddle with O and 0, capitalization and the works. Neither the EU3 nor EU3 Complete nor EU3: Chronicles lines will accept it. Like the others, I was also given a COMS key.

Awesome, except not at all.

Being the foolish, silly person I am I bought the entire paradox pack yesterday like a good consumer and my eu3 key doesn't work in the least. I tried complete and eu3 and chronicles to no avail. My patience is running pretty thin. I suppose I lack the incentive to return for EU IV or any other paradox games? Blame Valve but I've never had this issue with any other developer or game. Sorry if I seem of ill temper but it's my opinion that nobody here should have to sit on their hands for a week or more while paradox and valve get their stuff together. Awesome!

There is a known problem with the Eu3:Complete forum codes Steam are giving out. But the HttT and DW keys work just fine for everyone else (eg the OP), are you saying you can't get them to work at all? Are you 100% sure you are putting them in the right field, and have your 1/l and 0/O characters correct?
