Bob's Tall Tales - Works 50% of the time
Have any of you ever experienced a situation where Bob's Tall Tales doesn't kick in?
The DLC simply forgets it was bought... then I can't build anythin, tells me I need to buy the DLC... then I restart the game a couple times, and it's back on, working.

Around 50% of the times I start the game it tells me to buy it again...

50% is a lot, sometimes it takes 4 attempts to work, others it works for some days...

Whan can I do to stop this mess?

It's getting worse... I feel like it's about 3 of every 4 times now for me...

I deleted the game and reinstalled to no change.

Are you launching the game via Steam itself or a shortcut on Windows?

Looks like I sorted the issue.

First of ALL, to notice if your BTT is active, on the main menu click on "press _ to Start"
If on the next screen there are 4 things to click, then it's not active and you don't need to go
further to check.
If BTT is active it will only show 3 options there, not advertising BTT.

It seems like BTT does not engage if you launch the game via Windows shortcuts, so you HAVE to launch it INSIDE Steam.
