Blood DLC Not Unlocking
I own WH1 and WH2 with all their DLC except The Hunter & The Beast, so the blood DLC should be free and added to my game, however it isn't. I've been looking on Reddit and here and don't see many others having this issue... has anyone run into this, and if so, what did you do to get it working as it should?

Did you go through the dlc list in your library? Should be in manage dlcs or something (my steam isn't in English), make sure that's there and that's active.
I didn't have to do anything, downloaded patch, restarted steam and every dlc was there and active.

apparently if you got it free with that promotion ages ago, it won;t work. I'm having the same issue

I bought it for WH1 way back in the day.

I did, and it's not listed there at all.
For me It's the Blood Pack + Grim & the Grave. I own both. Validating integrity of cache for all games, relaunching game, relaunching steam and we've got everything listed in manage DLC with the exception of those two. I had read about issues with other expansions as well. I'm assuming it's hit or miss for everyone. I've no idea how to fix it yet. I think I've done everything that I can on my end as far as troubleshooting is concerned except restart my entire system and reinstall the entire game. I'm not confident the latter of which will even be productive with everything being validated. I'll be back after a restart to let you know if it fixed things.

You should validate game files. it helped me with missing factions but not with blood dlc
Alright I'm back. Hello Sgori. Yes. That is SOP for troubleshooting any game on Steam. I had done that which was indicated in the previous message. I appreciate the input thought. Looks like I restarted during a DDoS or something else as steam is going wild on down detector. So it took a minute to get back. A full restart also failed. But I'm wondering if whatever is going on with steam is the reason for this randomness.

Oh, sorry, I'm kinda exhausted. I just created a ticket in sega support, you can try it too.

I remember with WH2 I had to go into the files and manually enable the blood dlc don't remember how I did it try looking that up maybe that will help

Tried everything too. Many steam restarts, file verification, dlc list has nothing unticked, waited for hours. I dread the possibility we only must wait for a patch because that'll be like 2 months for a scathingly "hot" fix. Left sega a ticket and hoping for the best now :/

Hi Anonymous (IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME!) The issue is that Grim & the Grave and Blood for the Blood god are not showing up in the manage my DLC menu for me to actually select despite owning them. I'm not in a rush. In fact I am cooping with my friend right now. Playing Dank Elves and N'kari flank n wank all you can eat high elf buffet. It's fantastic. I'll work on it more after work tomorrow and check back in later.

I have the same 2 DLC missing
Hi Nibbins. How interesting. I don't think there is a problem specifically with those two. It really does seem to be affecting different people randomly. But Nibbins let me ask you. By any chance do you play on Linux? Because I am playing on Linux. For Immortal Empires I have to run in Proton so it is the same as the windows version but still... If a common denominator can be found then we will find our answer.

First for me missing dlcs with IE I had to restart steam 9 times and validate files each time till it found out i was missing files for a friend of mine they installed both WH1&2 not fully download them just installed then they opened WH3 and they had all there dlcs so try those it did take me 9 times just to get the chaos dlc to work and good knews the blood dlc doesn't kill you fps anymore so that's good news
