Panzer Corps Gold - Where are the Grand Campaign 42-45

[dickesKind]

Hello,

I own the Steam version of Panzer Corps Gold.
As I understood this version should contain all the Grand Campaigns as well Afrika Korps, Allies Korps and so on.
But mine only includes the Grand Campaigns 39, 40 and 41.
Please have a look at the screenshot which shows what I am missing though I own the Gold version.
How can I get all the missing DLCs?

The Gold version includes everything, so you should have all the DLCs. You might be better emailing Steam support as you bought it through Steam. Have you checked to see if the "missing" DLCs are available to play when you launch the game?

Hello,

i was able to "active" the grand campaigns with this trick:
"Create "Mods" -folder under C:\Users\[user]\Documents\My Games\Panzer Corps\
Copy all folders from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Panzer Corps\DLC (CG39-45 etc) into new mods -folder."

Sadly only the grand campaigns. Afrika Korps, Allied and Soviet Corps are still missing.

You probably did not buy the Gold Edition, but the standard Edition.

Slitherine renamed the normal edition to gold edition in early 2020 and made all DLC unpurchasable. New people who buy this new gold edition get all DLC unlocked, old people effectively have to rebuy their already paid for DLC to get the other DLCs.

Some troubleshooting tips from the Panzer Corps Gold FAQ thread:

Thank you very much for the info. Well, thats pretty shxtty.
I wonder why they decided to act this way.

They said that this wall of DLCs was dissuading new buyers.
But since they sell this Gold Edition for <5€/$ now during sales, it is pretty shxtty to not simply give everyone access to those DLCs. And insist on making old customers pay twice so that they can make more money with that marketing choice...
Leaves a sour taste...
And they did this not for the first time (Distant Worlds)...

You are right. Early buyers get punished. I actually participated in the beta test and bought it on release day

I bought the standard edition and all the DLCs when they came out. When the Gold edition came out, I waited until it was on sale (Christmas, I think, but they do have regular sales) and bought it, just to make it easier to reinstall. I got everything from Slitherine (which include the Steam versions), so with the originals I had to install the DLC one at a time every time. As I have several instances of Panzer Corps (for different mods), it was worth the £35 for the Gold edition to save the hassle when installing. I would estimate I have had over 2000 hours out of it so far, so it's been pretty good value for me, despite paying for it twice. I realise that others may feel differently about it

I bought Panzer Corps Gold here at Slitherine when it was offered as the final Panzer Corps 1 wrap-up. I think it came with a separate Steam key for every DLC, but I only registered the base one and the '39 campaign, thinking I would register the other DLC as I would play them. That 'My Page' is not easy to navigate, with the sorting undone as soon as you click some link and then return, and fetching 10 Steam keys is a pain.

But some time later all the other Steam keys had disappeared from My Page. Yet the Slitherine installer contains all DLC, so I can't complain too much, but I rather have my installation in Steam for various reasons, so I do feel a bit cheated by it.
