Bioshock 2 and the dlc of the steam?

[Rokkimakkara]

Apparently the Minerva's den dlc is free for those who have bought the "mother" game, atleast it says on the BS2 shop page that the dlc costs N/A.

My problem is how to download the dlc? The shop page just says that i need the Bioshock 2 for the dlc to work? I can't even purchase the dlc

I already have BS2 installed, and i played it through just a week ago...

I would be so happy if someone knew how i could get to play it.

EDIT: I edited the headline of tis topic to fit it better. I earlier tought that Minerva's den was free, but now it seems that it has been taken down or something...

I wonder too :o

[Babushka]

Same problem too...

Maybe you do have the DLC.

Go to your steam game list, right click on Bioshock 2 and then on "properties".
Enter the tab called "DLC" and check if you have Minerva's Den. If you do, check that the "Installed" button is checked.

If in the DLC tab you don't have "Minerva's Den", then we have to figure something out on the store page and the like.

Keep me posted :)

I checked the DLC properties and there's a button to take you to available DLC, and an 'add to cart' option but clicking it does nothing, and going to the DLC page itself has no buy/install options. Hm. Annoying. :)

Was this DLC deleted from Steam?? Coz I opened the page to buy it and it doesn't have a buy option anymore.

I checked it and it was blank. I also went to ingame menu "extras" and there I found only "Protector Trials".

Got the same vibe from the shop page. Googling didin't do any good(Atleast first five searches).

It seems that i mistook my earlier googling about this matter with the free DLC for owners of BS 2 that happened in 2013

But this doesn't still explain why i can't purchase or download the DLC

Same thing here. I tried to click on it (even though I have it), and nothing happens.
I also checked my game list and "Bioshock 2 - Minerva's Den" DLC doesn't appear like the other DLCs.

Damn ... well I hope you'll be able to get the DLC you want.


I'll try googling about this too.
I don't know if 2K or Steam will be responsive on this. I hope they do.

[Rokkimakkara]

Well I sent a support request to 2K. I haven't heard that many good things about their customer service skills, but we'll just have to wait and see.

[RoedeOurm]

I have an idea. It consists in removing the "blob" file.
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7241-EYON-2343

So, I did it once a long time ago. It wasn't for the same sort of issue but who knows.
I'm not sure it's the right thing to do though ...

Actually, I can't see the price on the Minerva's Den DLC page. Maybe it's free for everyone and you need to "repopulate" your game list to make sure it's all good.

It's a wild guess.
I'll post if I find anything else.

The DLC was given for free to those who owned the game on Steam before it became a Steamworks game, since the DLC used to be exclusive to GFWL. After the game moved to Steamworks, the DLC was released on the Steam Store, and those who bought the game after that had to buy the DLC separately (or the bundle containing the game + DLC).

As for why it can't be bought recently (neither the game nor the DLC), I have no idea.

nothing to do with BS2, Ubisoft's customer support is really good thogh. They reply after a week or so and the supporters are really nice and they help a lot

[¤ βℓооđч ¤ Nico-Kun!]

What does Ubisoft have to do with BioShock 2, which is a 2K game?

[Rokkimakkara]

Seems like that I'll have to swallow my words about 2K support. Friendly customer service and quick answers eventough they have no idea about the whole thing...


I'll send a message to steam support(mayde should have done it in the first place)

[RoedeOurm]

I hope you'll get a fast answer. Keep us posted !

[Rokkimakkara]

Same thing seems to have happened to Bioshock 2. Wtf is happening?
