DLC not recognised

[Dayni]

I decided to switch back to 2.0.4. After reinstalling the game entirely, I have been unable to get the game to recognise the DLC I do have (which is all the content before HL, though of course anything RoI onwards is irrelevant).

Is there something awkward that has to be done or is this a wash and to do all over again?

 

[Dayni]

Decided to see if the game was having an issue in other versions. And as I have discovered that the game now won't recognise DLC or mods in at least 2.3.6 from the launcher, I might have a problem. Should I file this to Bug reports, or is there a simpler answer? After all, the game itself doesn't crash, it's just not recognising DLC from the launcher or in game (in the launcher's case, the section showing DLC/mods doesn't appear).

I decided to switch back to 2.0.4. After reinstalling the game entirely,

Did "reinstalling..entirely" include deleting the CK2 folder in Documents ?
edit: (not Documents as its Linux, but /home/user/.paradoxinteractive/Crusader Kings II/)
Regarding where to place your report, here is fine.

 

[Aardvark Bellay]

Ah Linux.
I found a thread and recall having read about it.
It seems sometimes the "dlc" folder in the game folder gets written in bold as "DLC".
Change that to "dlc" as it should be.


Some case sensitivity

I knew I forgot to mention some details.

No, I didn't delete that folder, partly because it does have some things I'd rather not delete in it (though I can just put them back later).. More annoyingly, changing the folder to dlc actually causes me to crash on startup (though it does fix the issue in 2.3.6's launcher). Yeah, something's really off there as this has only been happening since Saturday. Also, I did have mods in the mod folder so I did remove those.

Didn't delete dlc_signature, though I'm wondering if that'll fix it or if I should look elsewhere to find out what's wrong. This is all that's in it: 24e734ea418e07dcf239f02f89207265\00

Well then move save files and mods out and delete it then. It gets recreated on game start.

Still having crashes. Problem is that whenever I put it in lowercase the game crashes (no other factors involved, though this only affects 2.0.4), but in uppercase it won't recognise the DLC.

To summarise, the game's got a bit of an issue with 2.0.4, while in 2.3.6, you just have to rename it.
