Hello,

I've got ck3 on my xbox app i also have some couple dlcs but i can not see some of them on paradox launcher dlc tab(5/7 are missing rn). So i can not play with my dlcs. I reinstalled the game and all of my dlcs also give some ownership to my microsoft profile for the folders but it didn't workout. Can somebody help me to fix this problem?


Thank you,
Kind Regards.

Hey, I have CK3 on both Steam and Xbox on PC (yes, I bought it twice, don't ask), and I almost exclusively play it on the later. If you're running into a problem loading a DLC pack you're certain you own, there are the problems that can cause them to be "missing" from Steam (an unacceptable installation location for the DLC; basically, make sure the DLC is installed onto the same drive as the base game, and that the shortcut in the User folder is pointing to the right location, Steam generates the later).

For Xbox on PC, the software implementation is...more rigid, I suppose? But the "easiest" thing to do (as with Steam) is to completely uninstall Crusader Kings 3 in the Xbox App; that should erase all the DLC, wherever it's installed. Reinstall the base game, then reinstall the DLC one by one, specifying the same drive location. This shouldn't be a requirement, but unfortunately, it is (you can run into the same issue on Steam, potentially). Then, of course, do the usual thing of making sure you can find and activate them on the launcher.

Be careful if you have another version of CK3 installed, because regardless of the platform or install location, they all default to the same configuration files (in AppData, I think), but obviously the DLC is not interchangeable, so they will override configurations. Also, and this might sound stupid, make sure you actually own said DLCs in question. Between the separate purchases and the season passes, it can get kind of confusing on every platform CK3 is available on. You can check on Xbox.com, or in the Xbox App under "add-ons", or on the Windows Store app, though the later is barebones and more intended for productivity apps than games. You can also use that to reinstall each DLC "item" you own.

Given what you described, it sounds like a shortcut problem, and not an ownership problem, which reinstalling the game should help. If it doesn't, you may want to completely delete the user data folder for CK3 (under "Paradox") and force the game to regenerate it (of course, backup any saves, etc., you think you need to keep).

Hopefully something there helps. I ran into the issue some time ago, though not recently (related to the problem of moving CK3 to a different drive than the DLC was on); lately it's just the "game freezes after 5 to 10 minutes" that everyone else reported regardless of version.
 
Hi, thank you for the suggestions. I deleted the entire game and DLCs completely then tried to do that steps but the issue stil continues also i deleted the app data, reseted the xbox app but it didn't solve my problem. I contacted the support they said they are currently working on that problem with ms team. So basically they know there is a problem. I guess I need to wait... Btw I looked for previous discussions about the problem i have but non of them works for me.
