DLCs not available in CIV 6 but ticked ok in steam
Hi, I just bought Civilization® VI Anthology to get the DLCs I didn't have yet as leaders or New Frontier.
They show in the dlc list on steam when I right click. Also, I have this pink message saying I have new DLCs and they will "download with the game". However there is no new content to download, and they do not appear in game when I launch the game.
The homepage is still on gathering storms and when I check the additional content page, I can see the previous expansions (gathering storm, rise & fall) but Leaders & New frontier are nowhere to be seen.

I tried restarting steam and uninstall reinstall civ 6. Nothing changes.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ben

Check in the game, in the Additional Content menu, not just in Steam.
And make sure you don't load a configuration, since that also loads the DLC and mods that were active when you saved it.

The main menu doesn't change, it's not a new expansion. And the New Frontier is a bundle, so doesn't show either. Just the contents should show.

Verify games and reboot your computer to make sure Steam is actually really shut down and restarted.
Last option is to reset your game options, but that resets a whole bunch of other settings as well, so I regard that as a last resort.

Thanks for your input. I just checked all these ideas.

Unfortunately none of these worked.

I think the issue is on the steam side. When I check the DLCs (right click on the game/properties/dlc) I can see they are all owned and all the boxes are ticked.
However I notice that the ones I had previously (like gathering storm or rise & fall) have a size next to them but all the new ones haven't. For some reason all the new DLCs are not downloading.

I have tried:
- unticking and reticking boxes to trigger a download
- restarting steam
- restarting PC
- uninstalling game and re installing it
- clearing download cache
- changing download region

nothing seems to work.

any other ideas to trigger download?

thanks

Nope same issue here.

After log out and reinstall it appear again. You could do that again.

Just restarting Steam didn't help, but actually signing out and back in again fixed Gathering Storm and Rise & Fall not appearing for me.

Thank you! This helped me too, logged out of steam, closed all exe files of steam, started, logged in and mods + dlcs are there again....
