Summary​

Subscribing to DLC does not make certain DLC saves playable

Platform​

Steam

Operating System​

Windows 10

Game Version​

v1.15.4.32b6 (3889)

Enabled DLC​

  • All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?​

No

Description​

I wanted to continue a save from a multiplayer run started by another player using DLC, so I purchased the DLC subscription. However, when I try to load the save file, I get a popup that says: "This game cannot be started until missing DLCs are enabled again: Expansion Pass 1: Supporter Pack"



Steps to Reproduce​

Have another player create a new multiplayer save with Götterdämmerung enabled, and join without owning any DLC. Make a save on the profile that does not own any DLC, then purchase the subscription for all DLC on this account and try to load the save after installing the DLC. Save was created on patch 1.15.3 checksum 0143.

Are you playing on a save from the previous/older version of the game​

Yes

Hi,

The expansion pass bonuses are not included in the dlc subscriptions. That's is why you don't see that as owned when you have the dlc subscription. There is an issue where Expansion Pass 1: Supporter Pack is being considered for save game compatibility (as you also noticed). We're currently working on a solution for it.

I'm having the same problem here. This is so annoying
Any update about this matter?
