Hi guys! We need your help! Our technical support began to receive messages that players are not able to create game sessions, which depended from free DLC (Victory pack, Battle of Cambrai, RealWar) and our game asks to buy these DLC.
The second problem it's when you start the game from any saved place it requires to buy campaign DLC .
We need to find out what is the cause of these errors. Which combination of purchased DLC gives these errors? Or perhaps there is no any errors and it's just the machinations of the pirates, who have faced our content protection system.
So, you can help us if:
You are owner of Deluxe version
You are owner of the Base Game
You are owne of Multiplayer-ONLY version
What should you do to help us:
1) It is necessary to start the game from any saves (if you have bought at least one campaign) and make sure that the game does not request to buy this campaign DLC.
2) Create game session with free DLC content, run it and make sure that the game does not request the purchasing of free DLC.
3) Write below the results of the experiment and tell us the composition of your game (your basic package and what have been bought)
Thanks for the help!
