Love the game. Had the game since day one. Own all the DLCs.

I purchased Overlord DLC, except -- I can't play it. The reason is the new launcher doesn't recognize MY ownership. You see, long time ago I registered as a Steam user, but I never play the game on Steam. In fact, I don't even own all the Stellaris DLCs on Steam. I've been playing the game using the Paradox launcher all these years.

So, I wrote a trouble ticket. The response I got (in part):

". . . some games and DLC do work with the launcher but not necessarily per design ><. It's a bit of a hit and miss situation as the products are set up in different ways and for Overlord it's setup in such a way that owning the Steam version doesn't unlock the Paradox launcher version. If you want to debate that point further I suggest you ask on the Stellaris forum as the developers may want to change that or it's per design. As I'm not part of the team though I don't actually know what the reasoning is behind it."

So, is this true?

Developers, I need help. Is this something you can make right for me?
 
might want to reach out to either the bug report or tech support part of the forums to get actual help [devs and the community team tend to hover there more frequently]

The responses you get in ZenDesk tickets with us are true, yes. Probably best to respond there rather than here.

Developers do not read these forums in general. They're kinda busy developing!
 
The game worked fine 3 months ago, now it doesn't

That's a bug.

Please write a bug report and get an answer from the developers.

As I suggested you should reply to the ticket you opened on the topic, or you can make a new thread in Bug Reports on the topic for QA to look into.
