DLC not showing + more problems.
I have the DLC due to the Field Marshal edition, and when I go to the launcher, I can't click on the DLC tab. Not only this, but Hitler's face is blacked out in the main game now.

Have you already tried to restart Steam? If not give that a try.

I did, and it worked. This DLC is an odd one.

Great!

Regarding the Hitler issue this[forum.paradoxplaza.com] might help.

I have exactly the same problem, I even deleted local files and then deleted everything that was in the "my documents" hoi4 folder. Stil doesnt work.

[edit: If it doesn't help scroll down to my next post, where I quote BjornB... his instructions will work too and are [i]way easier[/i] than what I propose in the rest of this post.]

If that doesn't work I'd just try to restart the computer.

If it then still doesn't work I'd try a clean reinstall, i.e. all of the following and in that order:
0) unsubscribe from all mods
1) delete the game's local content in Steam (i.e. deinstall the game)
2) exit Steam
3a) manually delete your personal HOI4 directory -- its path depends on the OS:
(Note: You might want to make a backup of the local savegames in there before doing that!)
- [Windows] \Users\<username>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\
- [macOS] /Users/<username>/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/
- [GNU/Linux] /home/<username>/.local/share/Paradox\ Interactive/Hearts\ of\ Iron\ IV/
3b) manually delete your HOI4 Steam directory (if it still exists...) -- its path depends on the OS:
- [Windows 64bit] C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Hearts of Iron IV\
- [Windows 32bit] C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Hearts of Iron IV\
(Note that your OS isn't officially supported!)
- [macOS] /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Hearts of Iron IV/ (hidden on macOS 10.7+; this[www.macworld.com] might be helpful)
- [GNU/Linux] /home/<username>/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Hearts\ of\ Iron\ IV/
4) restart Steam
5) reinstall the game
6) verify the game

This worked, thx.

I'm glad it worked... BjornB just posted a way easier method in another thread though. Just in case someone else scrolls through this thread looking for a solution I quote his post here too:

Try completely restarting Steam (click exit and start it again). If the problem persists, try deleting the ...\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\dlc_signature file

Sorry, for I put you through a whole clean reinstallation... ;o

Totally off-topic in this thread, but yes. The DLCs are modular.
