Some DLCs Not Activating

[Johnny Canuck]

I purchased six DLCs during the most recent sale, but two of them - Conclave and Way of Life - don't activate. What I mean by this is that when I start the launcher, the lines for those two DLCs are greyed out with no checkbox, as if I do not own them. But they have been purchased and installed - the Steam pages for both DLC say they are in my library, the 'Manage my DLC' page says they are installed and enabled, and in the Properties/DLC tab both are listed as installed. Any idea how I can get the launcher to recognize that I did purchase these two DLC?

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.

That worked, thanks!
