Keep losing access to Bob's Tall Tales

[djenkins72968]

I bought this DLC and I had access to it for awhile, but I keep losing access. For instance, I made the armor skins and equipped them, but now when I went to repair them, it said I could not re equip them because I dont own the DLC. But I do. The store page says its in my library and I was playing with it for awhile. I validated my files once and that fixed it then, but thats not working now. Anyone have any ideas?

conflict with the pure form mod and probably others, deactivate it so that it reappears

Just bought this dlc and the game didn't recognise I now had it. I tried a bunch of things, verifying files etc, nothing worked until I ran the game without anti-cheat. This of course restricts your access to servers, but I'm a singleplayer only guy so it's a good work around for me. Hopefully wildcard will patch this soon although knowing them I'm doubtful.

UPDATE:

The issue has nothing to do with anti-cheat (no need to fear server users). The real fix for me was running the game directly through steam instead of using a desktop shortcut.

If you notice steam has stopped tracking your playtime in asa then this is probably the solution for you.

I'll update again if the issue returns.

Im on xbox so fortunately I can submit a refund request. Im done with this game now. They had one last chance with me to do things right and they screwed us yet again by taking our money and not delivering the product at all. Complete waste of time and energy.

This is so stupid. I too purchased the DLC. It works like 1 out of 10 times that I log in. God forbid I build a train track or anything. I really wish WC would at least acknowledge that it's even an issue, at least I would know they are working on a fix.

please create a bug report! I created one today too. Maybe if enough of us complain, WC will work on a fix. I've been searching for days for a fix for this and I can't find anything.

This just started happening to me. Since this has happened before and still not fixed after several months, I recommend reporting the issue to the FTC as possible fraud. Lately the FTC has actually been investigating reports and going after companies and fining them.

This is what I found a few days ago. I, too, also noticed the game wasn't showing up as having been played at all. I ran the game via Steam, rather than the desktop shortcut I'd been using up to now, and since then I've had no more problems. Maybe I'd made the desktop shortcut "manually", ages ago, rather than right-clicking the game in my Steam Library and making one that way. Who knows, though. I'm just glad it worked.

I believe it has to do with loading the game while online, for whatever reason BTT always doesn't register if I load the game offline and it will register while online, which is strange because none on the DLC for ark evolved behaved this way.
