Oblivion GOTY Deluxe in my library but missing DLC's
Right, it is now impossibe to create a steam support ticket because they dont actually want to do there job, so I cant get help from them.

I own Oblivion GOTY. There is no mention of the deluxe part. However when I go to purchase deleuxe it says "In steam library". Now, The esps for the extra DLC are not there. Only Shivering Isles and Knights.
I know what you are thinking. Well obviously you only have GOTY. Yes, but it says deluxe in my library and the DLClist.txt has ALL the DLCs listed so what the hell is going on?
When i start a new game I do no get the pop up for ANY of the DLC either(no sure if you are supposed to anyway)

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, verified cache. Any help?

P.s I am well aware there is a difference between GOTY and DELUXE

Did you check your purchase reciept to make sure you indeed purchased Deluxe?
GingaNinja1 May 14, 2018 @ 10:10am 
Okay, as you didnt read my post I will explain.

It says game of the Year.

BUT

the DLC.txt shows that I should have all of them.

ALSO

it shows that I own BOTH titles.

You misunderstood what the guy said. Are you 100% sure you bought the right version? Double checking the email receipt would help because the names of the folders and txt file contents could easily be an oversight by the developers.
It should say this if you bought the correct version.

Without a doubt it sounds like you purchased the wrong version with the main fact you only have the content from the non deluxe GOTY version.

Also you only get pop ups for some of the dlc after you exit the sewers.

I think they are just pre-installed with the copy i dont think there is seperate dlc

GingaNinja1 May 15, 2018 @ 7:45am 
Hi, nope I did not misunderstand. I have already contacted steam support, they said i should have all the DLC. Although i do not have all the esps in my data folder, and battlehorn castle isnt in game on the map so I do not know whether they are missing or folded in to the main ESM file but there is an issue. Im waiin fo a further reply from them anyway

If you mean that they are merged with the game, then answer is no.
There are two options of game in the Store: GOTY which includes Shivering Isles and Knights of Divines, and GOTY Deluxe which includes a number of small DLCs on top to SI and KoTN all separated in different .esp

You definitely misunderstood. To check what version you have, go to your account details (your nickname located top-right of steam window, that's it). Steam support makes little work in cases like this.

Anyway, from what I have read here I still believe you just bought the wrong version, GOTY instead of GOTY Deluxe.

Where exactly it shows?

Where exactly it says that, again? In library it does not show which one version you have, it says just The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Do you have a list of istalled DLCs located below of the "Play" button? If no, you actually do not own Deluxe.

You also mentioned that you cannot buy Deluxe becouse it says you already own it. The only thing I can suggest is check it again with care what version you are trying to buy. In case of no success, there is only one option: pray to the Divines and see if steam support can help you (with correct explanations of situation from your side)

Both this and Fallout 3 are very confusing for people when they buy them. I don't know why they don't just fix the labeling on the store page to make it more clear. Better yet, the games are old enough where they don't need two seperate versions of them. Just bundle everything together and sell them as "Complete".

FOR THE LAST TIME I DEFINATELY UNDERSTOOD. Stop telling me I dont understand how to read.

Perhaps fantastyczna you should read. I have just told you in the post above yours that steam support have confirmed that I DO OWN ALL DLC. They are simply missing



Anyway thank you for replies, the topic is closed.

Lmao, we're trying to help but you don't even listen to what we tell you.

Please just check the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ receipt or check through your purchase history to see if it explictly says "Oblivion Game of the Year Deluxe" because it is too much of a coincidence that you'd only have the dlc from the standard goty version. It's such a simple thing to do but yet you can't and/ or refuse provide us with that information.

Steam support can't confirm anything because the dlc is all tied to one thing; they're not individualy listed. At least for me it just comes under one name when viewed in my Steam library.

There almost no reason why almost everyone else who legitmately owns the goty deluxe downloads the dlc just fine, but you somehow magically don't besides the fact you allegedly own the deluxe edition, but you only get standard GOTY dlc.

Try turning off your firewall/ antivrus. Maybe they're removing the esps when you install the game, that is if you infact own the GOTY Deluxe edition

Wow, this really is just about winning the arguement for you isnt it. For your information I checked the receipt first, as I wouldnt post on the forums without doing so. I also made this clear in the first post. So yet again another person who simply refuses to listen. Also steam has confirmed that i do own ALL THE DLC, you conceited person.

The matter is closed. Thank you for your useful contribution.
Novaturien May 16, 2018 @ 5:47am 
And yet you still fail to answer my question. Whatever dude, I hope steam support can help with your poor ability to give details
GingaNinja1 May 16, 2018 @ 7:33am 
You had all the information needed but didnt read it. Or perhaps failed to understand. As I said (twice already- further evidence that you need to pay attention) the matter is closed. They have already helped me with it. Goodbye

I just found this post on Google, and then felt compelled to come here to find it on Steam so that I can comment with support for GingaNinja1.

All you other people commenting here getting angry are being profoundly dense. GingaNinja1 very clearly has bought the standard GOTY edition (not deluxe) as was evident from his OP and almost every response he's commented with since. He has every right to get pissed off at you lot for persistently asking a question which didn't need to be asked, especially when your response to him pointing out that you haven't bothered reading his OP is to get pissed off yourself.

Sorry to bump an old thread but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ guys, learn to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ read.

If you go to the games launcher. Just click play on steam to get the laucher up.
You should then see an a button called data files click on it.

This is where the dlc is activated and deactivated. Click the dlc on and off it will have a X to show that the dlc is turned on.

I realise it's been months, and that you probably don't care at this point, but:

DLClist.txt is not a reflection of what you own. It simply lists out the DLC available for the game, so that Oblivion knows which plugin files are "official" and which ones aren't.

Deluxe is GotY, but with additional DLC. As far as the Steam store is concerned, that means that owning GotY is the same thing as owning Deluxe (even if you don't own the additional DLC). It tells all Oblivion owners that Deluxe is in their library, regardless as to whether this is really the case.

The main point of confusion is that the only way to buy the extra addons is through the Deluxe bundle... and because Steam thinks you own it, you can't buy Deluxe directly after previously registering the base GotY copy (you have to buy a key from a third-party seller and register THAT, instead). Bethesda set things up in a bloody stupid fashion and a lot of threads get posted asking about it.
