DLC's Dissapearing

[VenetianPriest]

In the launcher, I will have no DLC's available. If I have a mod, I can select that and enter the game, but I won't be able to play Old Gods because I don't have it, but I do. All my DLC's show up in the downloaded content of Steam.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? It is as of the beta before the one presenly released.

Please try a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local content" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete all files and folders left under Steam/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.

I get this every time I've update the game recently. Not all the DLCs though, but it hasn't been the same DLCs each time but always more than half.

Rather than clean re-installing. Going down the DLC list in steam properties and unticking each then closing it, opening it again and re-ticking them, which forces Steam to re-download and install all the DLC, seems to work.

It's still slow, but alot quicker and more bandwidth limit friendly than re-installing the whole game. So that's worth trying.

Edit: scratch that, it worked last time but not this time. So maybe still advice but not certain result advice.

I'm having this problem at the moment.

-Tried a full and clean reinstall, didn't work.
-Tried unticking and reticking them in the steam dlc list, it did redownload them but I still can't see them in the launcher.
-Running as administrator.

Anything else I can try? I would really like to play some more Charlemagne.

They should load anyway, unless they are un-ticked in the launcher. Are you not seeing the round reassurance icons in the main game menu? What about in the game's Contents/DLC area?

No reassurance icons, content button is greyed out. Can't select a start date before 1066, says I need the dlc. So no, the game is not loading the dlc even though I own them and they have been downloaded by steam.

EDIT: Never mind, solved it somehow. Did another clean reinstall, this time restarted my pc in between. Did the trick. Thanks for the swift reply anyway!

The files are in the DLC folder, but they don't show up in the launcher so can't be loaded, atleast for me.
A clean install and changing from stable to beta and back again doesn't appear to effect things.

I've restarted after a clean install, I hadn't tried restarting inbetween uninstalling and installing so I'll try that.

My point is that launcher or not, they ought to load and be present in the actual game. The default is that all DLCs load and no mods do.

They don't load in the game (no icons and greyed out options) and don't appear in the launcher. Can't think of any other information that might help though sorry.

Edit: Resetting between did fix the problem. However, Steam also Updated after the reset, so maybe the problem was caused by Steam not having updated? That's just a wild guess though.
