downloaded '39 campaign DLC but can't find it
OK, so I downloaded the new content, but I cannot find it. It doesn't show up on the games selection screen and I can't find it in the file for the game. The only thing that shows up in the file for PanzerCorps for Grand Campaign '39 is an uninstall feature. What did I do wrong?

Because of the way the DLC are linked to your system registry, special care has to be taken when installing the DLCs.
Here's how the installer works:
It will autodetect the most recent location where you have installed the base game of Panzer Corps.
For a variety of reasons though, this may not necessarily be the correct directory 100% of the time (it should be for 99% of our purchasers).
Because the new DLCs have links to the registry, you cannot simply move files around to the right folder and have them work now.
If you do not see that new button, you have to uninstall your DLCs, and then reinstall them.
When you reinstall them, make sure you guide the installer to the correct directory.
For me, that would be:
C:\Games\Panzer Corps
If you reinstall the DLC, and they do not work, can you copy paste the DEFAULT directory line in this thread?
The bottom line for your problem is that the new DLC files must be installed directly into the right location (which should happen automatically) but clearly that is not the case.

I'm not sure if I've understood, but basically you have just to install DLC GC 39 in Panzer Corps main folder. I don't understand why you are copying to a mod folder.
Re: downloaded '39 campaign DLC but can't find it
Hello!
I´m German and I have the same problem.
I bought the German Gold Version on Amazon with the GC 39-42.
After installation, the GC-folders with the game data are into the Panzer Corps Folder under "DLC".
But the button in the middle of the menu (which you showed on your picture) is not there.
I am shure that I installed the GC into the correct folder.
PS: Sorry for my bad language

Re: downloaded '39 campaign DLC but can't find it
I think the German version is updated, so it won't be in the middle, but at the bottom right in the classified folder:


Re: downloaded '39 campaign DLC but can't find it
I dont have these symbols/buttons left and right the campaign-buttons.
Actually, I download manually the patch 1.11. My version is on 1.03, but the updater says, there would be no
update...

Re: downloaded '39 campaign DLC but can't find it
Have you installed patch 1.11?
Re: downloaded '39 campaign DLC but can't find it
No problem any more:
1. I deleted GC and Panzer Corps completely (deleting also manually the rest of the files)
2. Install PC Wehrmacht (don´t changing the path!)
3. Updating manually to 1.11 - AFTER THIS I have the button "classified" at the right side of the menu!!
4. Install Grand Campagne - THEN the files of the GC are in the "classified"-button
5. Test - Everythings running...
Thank you very much for the very fast support!!!
