hello,

i'm having an issue with the game. I formatted my PC and i backed my steam folder so i didn't install the game anew merely copied it back onto my pc. but now i noticed a few things messed up. the dynasty COAs are messed up and the Old Gods show up on the launcher as ticked on, but in game it doesn't show up. same with the other DLC's, the other cultural portraits etc.

is the solution in a fully new installation? or is there something else i can do?


EDIT:

a re-install fixed this. though i'd like to know if there's a different way to fix this? just in case it happens again :D

I can only guess the files got messed up in the copy/restore process. If so no, there's no better way to deal with it that what you did.

Did you start the game through Steam again after copying it back ? Did you only copy the game folder or the documents folder as well ?
If not, Steam couldnt recognise the DLCs and thus they were messed up. At least thats what i get from other posts like this and i'm a GG user ;) ..but its about the same issue.
For DCLs it seems you need to start the game at least once through steam directly and not just via shortcuts.....as far as i understand.
Might help, might not. Just my 2cents.

if my memory serves i did back up steam, but for some reason, my steam folder was on D drive, so it didn't get deleted, but i did wipe C drive clean for format
