Ultimate Edition DLC MISSING

[Simp]

Title says it all. I have the Ultimate Edition of Control and have none of the DLC that it should have came with. I got the game from the sale that happened a while back and ended up beating the game recently. I really enjoyed the game and was looking forward to the DLC to see the direct connections to Alan Wake and uncover more of the story. That being said I have fully beaten the game, and cannot activate the DLC. I have the ULTIMATE version (supposed to come with all the DLC) and it is not there at all. I have the option to purchase separately on Steam. .. why would I purchase it again if I already own the edition that is supposed to include the DLC.
I know I don't have it for several reasons but the two most important and primary are: the places in the game where the DLC should 'activate' nothing happens, and secondly I am advertised them, and do not see them as being downloaded. (When I try to download it asks if I would like to purchase them). Please, someone help me fix this?

What would happen, if somebody who owns the "real" ultimate edition logs into steam on my pc, installs it, and then I try to start it from my account with the "fake" ultimate edition? Would I be able to play it with all achievements?

It would just patch the game from one to the other.
Might make more sense to temporarily remove the game from your account and use family sharing.
(Assuming this game isn't excluded. Did not check.)

Are you sure about that? It's the same subID, right? To my knowledge, Steam doesn't just check game files without reason. I'm not sure, but I think it could work.

I'm not sure what you mean with the same sub ID.

If you have the "real" Ultimate Edition, you have different depots (= a different game) than the HB-supplied "fake", standard, Ultimate.
With that in mind, I assume/guess that ownership checking will notice that your installed depot (real Ultimate) is completely different from the owned depot (fake Ultimate with or without DLC) and patch it accordingly before letting you launch.

The DLC depots contain, well, nothing:

Faced the same problem. I had to completely delete the game from my account and buy a real Ultimate edition from steam. Everything worked out, the dlc"s appeared in the account. As a result, I spent twice as much on the game as I wanted

Key-selling places charge a good bit less for the game than the publisher does on Steam.

Did doing this also delete your game progress/achievements or were those saved? Provided you played it before removing it from your library.

was worried id waste money on a key and steam will just say you already own this and eat the key..

bout to try this will document/update:
i did not uninstall the game first*
on PC went to help>steam support>remove control permanently and then redeemed 3rd party key for 'CONTROL: ULTIMATE EDITION'
Rang up as 'Control Retail (ROW)' which scared me no mention of ULTIMATE but its all good.
DLC is showing as owned now, Achievements intact
files are validating [on steamdeck]
>now 'updating' (mb redownloading the whole game 22.5GB, unclear)
>now 'verifying'
>now 'launching'>continue game>saves resuming as expected

So a pretty MESSY process [never had to perma-delete a game from library just to redeem it again seconds later] but it worked out.. i guess??? [payed 12 for humble monthly then 8 for another key]

*uninstall might of saved time with the validating/verifying, but was worried about losing local save, probably/definitely in the cloud anyway.

You should definitely uninstall then manually delete the folder before reinstalling.

The games use different file manifests and that is GOING to cause problems.

Had the same issue, bought Season Pass, and it helped. Still, what a mess...

[D O T]

edit: nvm solved it.

[Deja Vu]

Can confirm, buying the season pass fixes things.

I have this issue but I don't have a humble key. My key is from cdkeys that I just bought recently and its listed as the Ultimate Edition and its listed as the UlE in my library but I don't see any dlc. I do have photo mode which I've read its only available in the Ultimate Edition and the unofficial patch mode works perfectly too. lol its a bit confusing on whats really happening but I think third party sites are still selling outdated keys.

[Seamus]

Your key IS from humble.

Humble is the only source for the standard edition keys. Someone was just reselling standard edition humble keys as ultimate edition via cdkeys.

Congrats, you got ripped off.

CDkeys isn't a marketplace like ebay or G2A. It wasn't "someone" selling it to him it was the website itself.

If you got it from CDkeys and your purchase history on the cite indeed says it's the ultimate edition while you only unlocked the standard edition then try contacting their customer support. From what I've seen people generally get decent results from that, when they contact the customer support.

Next time you should maybe consider sticking to authorized 3rd party websites instead.

Humble is the only source for those keys. The standard edition on steam was specifically added BECAUSE of the humble bundle the game was included in.

Where ever cdkeys got the keys got them from humble's key set.

They. Got. Scammed.
