Unfortunately, Microsoft was unable to activate the invalid game keys handed out during Summer sale retroactively. However, they have communicated the issue to Steam, meaning that you can now reach out to Steam support, who will be able to manually replace your invalid key with a brand new one.
Quoting the official announcement, you should contact Steam support with the following information:
- Your Steam account name (the one you use to login, NOT your display name)
- The CD key of your game
- A detailed description of the issue
If Steam is able to verify your information, they will issue you a new CD key.
Unfortunately, the official announcement post is missing a key next step here. Once you've got the new key, you must run the registry cleanup script in order to delete the previously-received invalid game key from your system and become able to enter the newly received one. Reinstalling the game is not needed and will have no effect; all that you need to do is running the script and launching AoE3, after which you will be automatically prompted to enter your new CD key.
The solution isn't ideal, but at this point I'm just glad there is one. Hopefully everyone can now get the issue resolved to join us in multiplayer!
