DLC not enabled after install

Post by shikaka »

Good morning, I would like to ask for some help with DLC's if possible.


game version:
- Order of Battle: World War II, 9.0.0 GOG
- Blitzkrieg 9.0.0 (bought as trial, not interested in pacific theater)

what I did:
- installed the base game (if important: onto a drive which doesn't have system files at all)
- installed the DLC
- both processes were finished without problems

Problem 1:
When I select the Brlitzkrieg campaign on the main map, it shows up as a trial version, and I am advised to purchase it if I like the first scenario. It seems that even after installing, I miss a step to register it.

Problem 2:
popup windows have some weird problems. Text on the buttons, and also the text box itself is blank. (this is not a big issue, I think I can find a tutorial on youtube or something)

When you run the installer there is a list where you choose what to install. All the DLCs (and the main game) should be in the list. You need to enter a serial number.

Thanks for checking this. Unfortunately something is wrong with the installer it seems.

After buying the DLC, two files were added to my directory:
order of battle blitzkrieg installer
order of battle blirzkrieg installer - 32 bit


When I try to run the DLC installer, there is no list at all (see screenshot).
I also tried re-running the installer of the main game, but I can only select the mail game from that executable, not the DLC.

I see you are not using the Slitherine version.
Sorry, can't help you with Gog.

I'm not familiar with Gog either, but after installation (which should be explained or handled by Gog) you need to unlock each DLC by entering the serial key in the game.

There should be an option for that in the campaign screen (the one you posted earlier, with all the grey campaign icons). Otherwise the installation may have failed or is incomplete or so.
