I really do not like to pay for things I do not get.
I have started a new game now 3 times, and in no game have i received the DLC i paid for. I have looked online for the “solutions”. Some point to a pre-patch state where you had to deselect the dlc but I am playing post patch. And, I am aware that you have to research a tech to enable them. I did the tech on all 3 games and nothing.
Firstly, can you confirm that you have the DLC enabled from the difficult selection at the start of a new game?
With the DLC active, you first need to perform an autopsy on an Arthron which will start the DLC chain. You will be then given a special mission which you will need to complete to receive them.
Can you please send me a DM with your Epic Games account name, and I will speak to Epic and ask what’s going on. It should be visible at the top of that list.
Can you please press F12 on this screen and submit a bug report? We’ve had a few reports of this and it only seems to be with the Deluxe Edition. The DLC shouldn’t even appear in the library, so we’re trying to track the cause. Your bug report would help with this.
If by the “Standard” edition, you mean the Base Edition or Digital Download Edition, that doesn’t come with the Alien Living Weapons and Chitin Armor DLC. It’s also not in the season pass as it was originally a backer/pre-order exclusive - so some people have already paid for it. It will be available to purchase separately later.
@UnstableVoltage I’m getting the same issue but living weapons appears if I launch from epic games store but doesn’t if I for instance launch locally, in my instance I was using steam big picture mode so I could use the steam controller.
This is normal. The game checks your key for DLC entitlement against Epic’s server. If you run the game without the Epic launcher, the DLC won’t be available.
No. If you started a game from the Epic launcher, enabled the DLC and created a save game, you’d still have access to that DLC if you run the game without the launcher on that save file.
