Corrupted DLC

[Kaiser of Chaos]

After the Manchu update about a third of my dlc became corrupted. I tried validating games files on steam. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing worked. Any help is apreciated.

What do you mean by corrupted, sorry? What are you seeing exactly?

We have some reports of them not being available, which are being looked into. But I think you mean something else here.

In the launcher it says the files are corrupted and when I go ingame the dlc is not installed.

I see. Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox/EU4 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.

I was having a similar issue with both corrupted and "not owned" DLC and I CAN CONFIRM that this method fixed my game. Thank you!!!!!
