DLC bug

[White ⁧⁧Wolf]

So a long time ago I bought the Loyalist Edition of Grim Dawn. It included:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/565610/Grim_Dawn__Steam_Loyalist_Items_Pack/
which was later available on Steam. However, in the DLC list it doesn't show as being in my library, despite having owned it for years and using it ingame. I activated a separate Steam key for it at the time which was included in said edition of the game. Just thought I'd point out that bug there.

Not a bug. What you had I am assuming came from either the Kickstarter or from the Website Loyalist package.. which included far more than what the Steam Loyalist includes.. which is why it doesn't show as "owned" for you.

I own the website Loyalist as well. These are separate things and nothing to worry about.

It included more yes, but the separate key that came with the Loyalist Edition was for the Loyalist DLC which I assume is exactly the same as the above. The rest that came with the edition was not in the form of a Steam key, except the base game and first expansion(AoM). What's more, it doesn't even list the DLC at all in my Grim Dawn properties DLC list. So how does the game even know then to include the Loyalist content?

The Loyalist DLC that is part of that package is referring to the FIRST expansion, or more specifically - Ashes of Malmouth. As I said, completely unrelated. The Steam Loyalist is ONLY cosmetics. Website Loyalist includes far more..

here is my guess, not sure it's correct but it's an "idea" i'll shoot out there
since i have the actual steam loyalist pack, and it doesn't show in my dlc either, i'm assuming because in steam depot/pack terms it's because it doesn't function as a dlc, but as it writes, an actual game Upgrade
like changing your basic grim dawn steam key to a deluxe game key instead of just giving you a deluxe dlc that "separate"
so think of it more as your base game being overwritten and changed into a loyalist version instead, and not a dlc
^maybe could be something else entirely

Am looking at the Humblebundle page right now. Loyalist Edition bought straight from their site back then, maybe still today, added items to Humblebundle account through a widget if I remember correctly. Anyway, bought on the 3rd of January, 2014 for US$85.00. Next, on the Grim Dawn page in my HB account it lists *3* Steam keys(I'll write exactly what it says there):
1) - Grim Dawn
2) - Grim Dawn Loyalist DLC
3) - Grim Dawn - Ashes of Malmouth Expansion (Kickstarter)
So like I said the Loyalist DLC is a separate key yet does not show at all in Steam anywhere as if it never existed, yet the items are available ingame.

It pretty much shows in my Humble the same. Doesn't really matter tho. As long as you can access your promised items at Kory the Keeper you are golden. I haven't had any problem doing so in the years since they fulfilled it after official game release.. I don't expect you shall either.

Most likely is something along those lines.

My point is, it's a bug, and I made this post to point that out. Of course the most important thing is being able to access the content but that doesn't stop it from being a bug.

We've already had a similar post like this some time ago. Nearly identical. Crate follows the forums pretty keenly and I'm positive they saw whichever post that was awhile back. If there was anything they thought was a bug they woulda nixed it by now.

Don't know about that man, I mean it doesn't explain the fact that I bought the Loyalist Pack #2 through Steam yet that *does* show up in my DLC list, and is listed as owned on the shop page. Problem here is that the entirety of Steam is not detecting my Loyalist DLC(#1) except the game itself, which is really weird.

[gNuff!~©~gNom3™]

it does explain it, it's very simple
loyalist pack one serve as a game Upgrade, overwritting your base key to deluxe version
loylaist pack 2 is an actual DLC, and functions that way in steam depot/packs terms
so there is nothing to "detect" in your dlc menu (for loyalist 1), and is also why it does show as owned on the store page
-if it didn't register as owned on teh store page it would be an issue, but it's not from what i read

Well, maybe Zantai will stop and comment on it whenever he reads the thread. My opinion is there is not much of concern either way it goes.

Care to link said post? The bug is still here, obviously. Another possibility is that it can only be fixed by Steam(Valve) itself and that they've simply forgotten.

If your 'deluxe' theory would be correct you'd think it would detect pack #1 as owned, or rather should.

Mmm not seeing it at the moment. Either way just wait until Zantai sees the thread and see what he has to say on it. If he doesn't answer by tomorrow or something I might just bring it to his attention on Discord I guess.

it should, if you had the steam loyalist pack -mine does, doesn't show in dlc menu but show as owned on store
what i'm understanding is you have the even more upgraded loyalist pack from either kickstarter or Crate website? which contains more items = is a different pack than the steam store one: thus you have an entirely different "deluxe upgraded"key than is available on the steam store thus it can't show as owned for you
-which might be a slight problem indeed, assuming it was potentially possible for you to buy the steam loylaist and maybe overwrite your Crate/kickstarter loyalist pack (tho i kinda doubt that would happen)
so you still have the upgraded version, even if it doesn't show as dlc in the menu, nor do you have the steam loyalist dlc, so it can't show as that (you have a different depot/pack that includes more than steam store from what i understand powbam saying)
