Bought Steam Pack, how do I actually get to use it?

[deece16]

I just bought the Steam Pack. I've loaded the game and exited like 5 times thinking it will eventually just kick in. I can't find a place to redeem the code. Am I missing something?

You can redeem the code on the website.

What website??? And if this is what has to be done, they should have some damn instructions. At this point, I just want my money back.

The reason steam got to be so successful is because it's easy. Very easy. And you have instant gratification. As fast as your internet connection will allow.

If I have to go to some website, this isn't easy.

I haven't had any issues with my purchases in Steam for the game, but many have. Go to the War Thunder website, there is a link to redeem codes on the main page.
http://warthunder.com/en

Here's how you do it:

1. Go to War Thunder in your steam Library
2. Find where it says DLC on the side and click it
3. You should see a CD key for the pack you bought
4. Take said Key and go to the WT website and click "redeem code"
5. Sign in and Redeem code
6. You now have pack activated

Also, while WT is ON steam, its not run by steam - so in WT's case, you have to play by their rules

Thanks!! I got it.

I just really wish this was disclosed before I bought it. It's a hassal.

The problem with this is that more and more games are starting to do this. The main reason many people like steam, is because you don't have remember 300 different passwords to get into every game you have. I have over 300 games on steam and it's convient. I've never bought something on steam that I had to monkey around with to be able to use. If these are the rules, they need to be CLEARLY posted when you buy something, preferably, before. It's just good business to let people know what they get into BEFORE they are into it. Agreed?

I don't remember redeeming anything on the WT website, I thought it automatically prompted you to put the dlc on the account you log into Warthunder with? Or is this only with the Steam Pack that you need to redeem it?

Yes. At the very least, there should have been a notification telling you how to redeem the code
