is there a way to efficently add free dlc?

[D-Black Catto]

the way it is done now, to add every free dlc you need to restart the game each time. so if the game has 20 of them, you need to do it 20 times. it's annoying

eh? just press "add to library"

don't need to launch the game

That sounds like a game problem, not a Steam problem. I've bought multiple DLC's at once for various games over the years and never encountered an issue like that.
What specific game are you having this issue with?

Are you talking about a particular game? Because if so, you should ask in that game's forum, not general discussion.

like that for example, just click "add to account", no need to launch game

free dlc. there is only "download" button. I have to click this button for each dlc seperatly. it's so in every game that has free dlc.

this isn't a free dlc, it's a game on -100% discount. a different situation

it's so in every single game. for example in https://store.steampowered.com/app/363150/Romance_of_the_Three_Kingdoms_XIII/ or in https://store.steampowered.com/app/594570/Total_War_WARHAMMER_II/ every free dlc needs to be added manually by clicking the download button, and it launches the game. then you need to turn off the game and add another free dlc rinse and repeat. no way to do it by bulk and they don't add themselves automatically even tho they are free

I have games that dont handle it this way. Dead by Daylight, for example. Seems to be a developer choice.

uh it is a dlc, it's a skin pack

literally flagged as "dlc" and says it's downloadable content and requires the base game

you have to actually click on the dlc and then add to library

like i said in my first reply

yes of course I mean free for the people who already own the game, like I do
I just wanted an easier method that doesn't require me to click on each free dlc separately, just I just wanted a way to add them all at once in one click

for example I just added 30 free dlc for rotk 13 it was tedious, click download back, click download back rinse and repeat

[D-Black Catto]

https://i.imgur.com/AFEWTw5.png also there is no add to library button for me it looks like that example

and even so id have to add each free dlc to library separatly when there are dozens or hundreds of them it's tedious, why do I have to explain this again I thought my meaning is obvious in the op

I wonder if it's a difference between using the Steam client, and looking at the web page on a browser? Which one is your screenshot from?
