Same here - How did you get it to work? (You're playing it right now)

I am just idling cards right now.

And I know why we can't start it.

You bought the ~5eur thing (like me) which is missing the game depot.

That's what you bought: https://steamdb.info/sub/52918/depots/

That's the full version: https://steamdb.info/app/319230/depots/

As you can see, we're missing that one: https://steamdb.info/depot/319231/


As we can't buy the game again, someone has to fix this by adding the correct depot to above sub..

Guys, it clearly says on the page that the Special Edition Upgrade requires the full game to play. The full game does not cost $5 I'm afraid. It is a full price product. Please get back to Steam if you need a refund on the DLC you bought. This is not a standalone product. You cannot get a $35 game by buying a $5 DLC I'm afraid.

You have just changed the name from Special Edition to Special Edition Upgrade - it wasn't there before.

> Changed store name Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition › Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition Upgrade

You can't activate DLCs on Steam for games you don't own.
By buying the mentioned package we in fact activate the game plus it's DLC - The according sub is simply missing the depot.

The Steam store also clearly states that I already own the full game by now, it also appears in my games list.

I did not purchase the game, but it should be worth noting that the page did not mention "Upgrade" on it anywhere. The package was called "Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition" and was available here: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/52918/. If you clicked on the game inside the package, you did see that it required the base game, but if you bought just from that page, it made no mention. Also, typically DLC has a banner on the corner which this does not have, so it easy to see how some could have made that mistake.

yes i have to agree, when i bought it was flagged as "Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition"
. now says: "Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition Contents". and when i bought there were no sentences "requires main game".

there have been changes on webpage ?


now i am listed as owner of remake game, but overall i dont have the game, i just have the digital extra content.

When I purchased the game 30 minutes ago the store page said 'Gold Rush Anniversary Special Edition' which is why I purchased it. There was no mention of it being DLC or requring the full game. It's dishonest of you to claim otherwise.

Yup, I bought the game from this link:

https://store.steampowered.com/sub/52918/

Nowhere does it say on that page that it is DLC, or that it requires another game.

It was titled "Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition" when I bought it. You then proceeded to rename it, after I bought it, to "Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition Upgrade".

I have an entry in my Steam Library for Anniversary, and the store page for Anniversay says I own it. I can't purchase it now unless I purchase it as a gift.

If you do not intend to correct the problem and provide the full game, what happens if Steam refuses to refund our purchases?

Changed store name Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition › Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition Upgrade, so yeah; they're being dishonest.

Open a steam support ticket for refund or unlock the Gold Rush! Anniversary. Is a steam fail, maybe they unlock the game for the discomfort.

I'm gonna call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on that I'm afraid. This screenshot clearly shows the item in my inventory is Special Edition, and not Special Edition Upgrade. http://i.imgur.com/UcdteBn.png

Well that would be the first time that a developer (or publisher?) alters the description of a sub to cover up their mistake and blame it on the buyers (to my knowledge), i dont think that holds up to steam support.

It was advertised as full package, and that is what was purchased.

As the purchase page clearly states, All sales are final:
"By clicking "Purchase" you agree that Valve provides you immediate access to this digital content and that therefore any possibility of a withdrawal from this purchase ends – the purchase is final. "

You got to fix that somehow, but you cant blame it on those who bought it.
