How to actually start the new DLC?

When i start the game their is only baldurs gate and the black pits? nothing else

well, with the risk of sounding mean and stuff: did you download it?

click on the game through steam library and look at DLC (roughly middle of screen) it should say Siege of Dragonspear followed by a ticked box.

I've got a follow-up question to other folks though: is there a way to turn off the DLC without having to re-install it? (currently just unticking it, forces a re-download) because the Multiplayer games of someone who only has base-game do NOT show up for me when I have Siege of Dragonspear installed. (not that I've gotten MP to work either, but have my hopes up for the promised patch, and as far as I've been told local games (or through VPN but my friend doesn't want to use that) work)

apparently my game decided to go to the beta version. Which made it so i couldnt click on the dlc. And you could set steam to offline mode. remove the dlc from the folder and put it into a seperate folder. that way it wont force an update. I think what i said just made sense but idk

Thanks Prodieus, that does indeed work, even without setting steam to offline mode -

In short:
I just added an extra folder to the BGEE directory called it siege and moved the dlc into that and that de-activates it.

if I want to use the dlc I move it back directly into the BGEE directory and it works again with siege of dragonspear.

Awesome :D thanks again

honestly didnt think that would work XD.
