How to Download DLC?
Seems like im simply blind or horrendously stahhpid.
I cant download "the Center" or the "primitive" DLC. Everytime i click them on steam, steam starts the game instead of simply downloading it. Ingame, i aint seen no download button, but when i waqnt to use primitive or join a server on the center map, the game opens steam overlay which points me to the usual shop site of the DLC(which is already open on my desktop) and prompting me there for another download. If i do click this 2 random things happen. Either its telling me it cant start the game becuase its already running or it simply asks me if i already got steam installen on my PC. if i click on "steam is already Iinstalled" nothing happens. If i click on "i dont have steam installed" it redirects me to the official steam downloading site, but if i click "download steam" there nothing happens here too.

So how in fks sake can i download the DLCs?

Update: Semms like i already own the Free DLC, as it now prompts me with "u already own this". Serious, i cannot find it in my Libary and i cant download it. What shall i do now?

When you click on your ark game in the library, there is a dlc section with all of the dlc's that you've downloaded. Uncheck and recheck the boxes and it should start downloading.

It's actually in a couple of different places, either right click and select properties, or left click and it's over on the right hand side of the main game display. I seem to recall there's also a third way to get to it..but I forgot what that one is.

so it's neither on the library page or in the game's properties?

Didn't work for me. There is no DLC tab in my games properties window. I go to store page. click to download the free DLC's it launches the game with no DLC's. I close the game and go to properties and still no DLC tab.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
