dlc are selectable but don't work

nobody4521 · Nov 19, 2013

i have tried selecting and deselecting, verifiying the cache in steam, and reinstalling, but none of them helped.

IcratoX · Nov 19, 2013

Hi nobody4521,

Which version of the game (Gamersgate/Steam) and OS are you running?

nobody4521 · Nov 19, 2013

version 2.0 on steam and windows 8

IcratoX · Nov 19, 2013

Alright, could you post the logs of the game?

* Go to '..\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\'
* Open settings.txt, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]

Code:

[/NOPARSE] tags
* Go to '..\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\logs\'
* Open errors.log, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]

Code:

[/NOPARSE] tags
* Open system.log, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]

Code:

[/NOPARSE] tags
* Open setup.log, search for the line with "checksum", copy and paste this entire line into your next reply

i was talking about crusader kings 2 and didn't see

Code:

in any of those files in crusader kings 2 and the line with checksum is "is 2.0 (WGPN) 1052131076"

AndrewT · Nov 20, 2013

Those files all exist under Documents/CK2 or /logs/ under that, the same place you saw the setup.log file.

Please try installing:

First: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

After that: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328

Then: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
(If that doesn't do anything then http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 )

Then: visit the Windows Update site and allow it to apply all .NET updates/patches it wants to, for all .NET versions.

nobody4521 · Nov 20, 2013

Everything is up to date and it still doesn't work and I found the files but there is no code tag in any of them

IcratoX · Nov 20, 2013

Open the files and copy paste the text between the tags. You have to write down the tags yourself, or copy them from below:

Code:

[COLOR="#FFD700"][NOPARSE][CODE][/NOPARSE][/COLOR]paste text here...[COLOR="#FFD700"][NOPARSE]

[/NOPARSE][/COLOR][/CODE]

Could you try a full clean install?

Important: Go to '..\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\save games\' and copy all the save games you want to keep outside the folder
* Uninstall Crusader Kings II.
Steam users: uninstall the game from within steam by right clicking on the game and select "Delete content"
* Go to the folder where you installed Crusader Kings II in, and check if the Crusader Kings II folder is removed. If not, delete the entire folder
Steam users: Installation folder can be found at: '..\Steam\SteamApps\common\'
* Go to '..\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\' and remove the entire Crusader Kings II folder
* Re-install the game - Make sure to install the game outside the 'C:\Program Files\' or 'C:\Program Files (x86)\' folders, as it can cause issues with permissions

that didn't work

mrlimmer · Nov 20, 2013

I'm having the same problem, but running on a mac. Is it a connectivity issue? Or should i be looking for something in the coding?

Swordstone · Nov 20, 2013

Same issue here. Have tried recommended solutions to no avail.

EDIT: Found a solution. The launcher I was using was not connected to Steam. I launched from Steam directly and all of my DLC was working again.

So they show up in the launcher, but are definitely not loaded in the game? You can tell by the small round icons for each of the major DLCs, centre-left of the screen just after you hit SINGLE to select a country. Are any-all-none of those there?

If the DLCs are physically present on your system, not it's not a connection issue. What it is I don't know, we've had no problem like this on the Mac generally, as the DirectX and VC++ stuff doesn't apply there.

That should make no difference, it is (or should be) the same launcher ...

You may be right there. I launched from my ck2.exe desktop shortcut again just a few minutes ago and the dlc all showed up once again. Maybe it just needs an initial steam launch after downloading the patch? IDK. Worked for me.

nobody4521 · Nov 21, 2013

all the dlc are present in the folder and there are no icons although dlc 30 and 32 are now 1 kb

scrdest · Nov 21, 2013

I have the same problem but, even more bizarrely, after disabling, running the game, and re-enabling all DLCs Sons of Abraham seems to work even though the game doesn't list it either. Well, at least I can play the Khazar guy at 1066 start. Nothing else seems to work. In-game store disabled, if it's of any use. Tried the Local File check.

E: Apparently, Legacy of Rome works as well, since I can play Orthodox. Ruler Designer doesn't, neither is Sword of Islam.

Ah, yes, I have heard that happen before, now you mention it - you need to run Steam once after the DLC download to get them to 'register' in some way.

See if you can find a file steam_appid.txt , if so delete it.

Are you running the game from the Steam library, not a desktop shortcut or directly?

dlc are selectable but don't work
