Unable to purchase MAIN CAMPAIGN after Buying DLC
Hi, i wish steam or bethesda sees this but i purcvhased the DLC here on steam because i got the game on Bethesda launcher, and i have plans to buy the game here too but now it happens that thing that says i already own the game. So i can't buy it. What can be done about this? Anyone in the same situation?

EVERYONE! I got the fix from Bethesda this morning!

1.Go to steam via your browser (not logged in)
2.Add base game to cart.
3.Check out.
4.When asked to log in, log in and purchase the game via the browser.
5.Download the Base game in the steam client.

I can confirm this works! Been playing the base game all morning! Cheers! :steamhappy:

Friend of mine has run into this as well. Buying the DLC first seems to block you from buying the main game.

I have the same problem, I've been looking for a fix, but I've yet to find one.

Contact Steam Support directly and see what they say.

Same thing here pretty much! :steamfacepalm:

ALSO if you buy just the dlc on here without the base game, because it's meant to be a standalone, you instead dl the entire base game, with the main campaign locked with a cart option, however clicking on it says, "you already own DOOM Eternal" so if you bought the dlc before the base game you literally cannot buy the base game now. Steam support told me to perm rid the dlc from my account even though I paid for it, buy the base game, then somehow that will reaquire the dlc? Lots of people with these problems, they aren't getting heard I feel.

If I seriously have to do that, I'll be pissed.
I contacted Bethesda support a few days ago, but Bethesda, being Bethesda, has made sure to take their time to give me an actual response.

If you bought the DLC first welcome to a world of pain

Same problem here. It really does seem like nobody is concerned about this MAJOR issue.

i heard that if you dont click purchase from the game, and you actually manually go to the steam store page you can buy it

Maybe you can copy the DLC to a USB, then completely remove it from your drive. Buy the base and reinstall the DLC from the USB.

Well maybe you could get one. There not that much money. It may solve the problem your having now.
