Required DLC Not Installed?

[ArchV]

I'm in a confusing loop. I'm trying to run the Center map. When I select it, it says "Required DLC is not installed" and it sends me out to the Steam page. So I close Ark, go to Steam, find the Center DLC (which says it's in my Library already), hit Download... it starts the game doesn't do anything, and I'm back to square one where it says "Required DLC not installed".

Bug? Doing something wrong?

I have the same problem. I also had Extinction that needed to be installed. I was able to download that one from the DLC downloads. But I cant figure out how to download The Center

[Blacktiger]

same issue here

[spiff]

Same.. can't launch any map because of missing The Center DLC.. wtf

[Capt. W. Schwartz]

Yep, "Missing Content from DLC: The Center"...

[Fafnir]

Can confirm this

Eventually, this error went away.. but now not a single mod works and I fear for what i lost. Bigger storage, all gone, Dino storage-gone. Reinstalled the mods but it didn't help.

Id wait a few days guys if you play with mods till there updated..

[Fafnir]

well it seems like i had to add it again to my library

Yep. Im having the same issue. Thought I might have fixed the missing DLC content error (PC/Steam) by unchecking all DLC's in ASE properties, then check them again - the game started downloading.. But when it was done, still get:

Missing DLC Content
Extinction
The Center

I have same issue. Maybe they accidentally erased the map of the Center lol

Who had "even their own DLC won't work after the update?"
🙋‍♀️

[Fafnir]

and i had to disable cyber structure mod

[OBZ]

I uninstalled all mods, now I can play the single player game for now.

[Dr. Sinister]

Yup all but Astraeos are unavailable. Even Bob's Tall Tales isn't installed even tho it's checked off

OK, HERE is the FIX! the issues is the DLC for the new UE are NOT in your game library anymore! you have to go to the dlc page and click to add to library again. this will force the game to update again (about 900mb) once you do, you will have the new "working" maps.

now some say they still had them in library, if you do, uncheck them all, close window, then check them all again to force the update.

(go to library, right click on ASA, click properties, bottom is DLCs)

Good luck!
