Solution for DLC missions not appearing?
I have recently beaten the game on steam and wanted to use the DLCs that came with ultimate edition but I am not getting the missions for them. After looking on the internet and only finding solutions and/or guides for Playstation, I am hoping that if I make one here someone could inform me of a way to fix this issue. After uninstalling then reinstalling Control and both DLCs it still has not given me the mission and besides completely restarting my save file again I don't see any other potential fixes so if you know the solution please let me know.

I have the exact same problem. I purchased Control Ultimate Edition during the recent summer sale on Steam and that's the edition that appears in my Steam Library. It also says I have both DLCs installed, but when I got to the install folder, the "AWEData" and "TheFoundationData" files are only 1 kilobyte each, so maybe that has something to do with it? In contrast, the entire folder is about 56.5 GB large.

I've beaten the main game but neither of the prompts to start either DLC has appeared. I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it but that didn't work. I'm at my wit's end at this point.
So, you have something else going on.

The install folder should only be 42gb or 50gb.

You should do a complete reinstall, but before reinstalling, COMPLETELY delete the Control folder in your steam install folder.

All versions of Control show as "Ultimate Edition" on steam because of the idiotic way standard was added to steam.

The DLC was available for purchase on steam for the duration of its inclusion in humble choice, and has since been removed from the store along with standard edition with no comment by 505.

You can still get the dlc/season pass on humble's store if you want them. Just be sure to pick keys for steam, not epic.

They'll still activate fine.

So are you saying that the DLC is not available through steam and I would have to buy them from Humble Bundle? Or that they are no long available through Humble Bundle? But either way it says I have the DLC installed I just can't figure out why it won't give me the mission To start playing the DLC.

They mean its no longer on steam and youd have to go through the humble store. Though im surprised thats still an option with the ultimate edition released.

Also have you done each of the required things to unlock the DLC starts? In my playthrough I unlocked the start of the AWE missions about a 3rd of the way through the campaign. The Foundation DLC tho didnt start for me until I completed the main story. Maybe look up the requirements if you dont already know them. My best guess would be 1 dlc needs a high enough security level and the other dlc needs the story finished, I could be wrong tho, hope this helps

was and is a known scamm from 505
wouldnt support it
also control ultimate has better optimization
uses less GB
and doesnt force you to stay perma online
standard + dlc will still force you to be perma online

is the dlc even worth getting tho?
$20 AUD from humble store for season pass which is more than I payed for the entire bundle that had Control in it :/
Goes on sale half price for $10 but would it even be worth it then???

standard + season pass = still missing updates

ultimate got updates that standard did not

why you think standard has like 10gb more then ultimate edition with all dlcs?
worse optimized
forced perma online (ultimate does not require perma online standard does)
and so on

even if dlcs are good would not support that scam

ok i will definitely not pay any more money for this game/company.
just out of random curiosity, since it's always-online, would this game have any anti-cheat or way to ban you if you mess with the files? totally not to get the dlcs for free, nope, definitely just for mods and stuff yeah

So the DLCs are no longer on steam even though it is advertised as Control + The Foundation + AWE? If that's the case It still doesn't explain why Steam is telling me I own the DLCs and have them installed. I had zero issues with the game up until this point, but after completing every mission I was assigned, I thought the DLC would let me go to another sector or something to start the story. But after looking online, most guides. forms, walkthroughts, etc. says I should of gotten the mission A Dark Place after beating the 7th part of the story. So if I can't buy the DLC through steam anymore I just don't get why it would tell me it is installed, and if it just isn't going to work I will try and get my money back (even though steam will probably tell me I've owned it too long) because i Don't want to spend an extra 10-20 dollars for something I might not even be able to redeem because steam says I own it.,

42, which I am pretty sure that means It is not installed even though steam says it is
