Missing DLC items fix

[Reaptor]

Guys...
All you do is completely close out of steam and relaunch it.
That's it.

Does everyone just run to the forums without at least trying some basic things first?
I mean I know "turn it off and on" is a meme and all, but you could at least try that first.

Edit: Another fix is
Uncheck dlc in properties > launch game > close game > recheck dlc under properties > launch game again

That would be a good solution if it worked, but it doesn't. I've tried that and so many other fixes and it hasn't fixed itself.

You think You are so smart, and people dont try to re-launch steam, dont try to verify game files or re-download DLC? Some ppl even reinstalled full game and thats not help.

It's worked for me many times.
I mean, dude, there are steps you can take.
Check and uncheck the dlc in the properties menu
Restart your pc

Verifying and reinstalling is hyperbole and wouldn't make sense to do that. dlc is a digital license check, it has nothing to do with the installation. You need to force that license check again.
The dlc itself doesn't download separately, it's already part of the base game.
Honestly, the term "Downloadable Content" is a bit misleading. It's more like "Authorized Content".

There are two main things you do when content like this can't be accessed.
1. Restart steam
2. Uncheck the dlc in the properties menu > start game > close game > recheck dlc > launch game.

Like I said to the other guy, it's because this isn't dlc like it was some years back where it was actually a separate downloaded file. Preorder content and stuff like that is already in the game. The game just does a simple check to see if you're allowed to access it or not. You need to force that check.

Again, not as simple as you think it is. I've done both of these several times over and it still has not fixed the issue, it's really not that simple. The problem is more than likely because of EA's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ launcher for the game given that achievements also don't track.

At some point, just contact steam and EA's tech support. Reason is it may be a steam issue or it may be a game issue....and the two will try and blame the other.

It's broken for me now but I did get it to work once by restarting the EA app.
