Hello:
I stopped playing Kingmaker a while ago when my DLC just mysteriously disappeared.
I downloaded the game over Steam and I hear losing your DLC is a common occurrence with their installations.
I also heard that installing the game in a "shorter" directory helps it not F*@K up. :)
I already tried clicking on the content and un-selecting it and then re-selecting it but it didn't help.
It's kind of frustrating as I know the actual files etc. are still there.
So I'm guessing if I want to keep my saved game is to:
1, Find the directory with the saved game and copy it to another part of my HD.
2, Use Steam to uninstall the game.
3. Create a short path game directory for Kingmaker.
4. Use Steam to reinstall game to new directory.
5. Copy saved game into saved games directory.
I know this is very basic and probably almost obvious but just checking to see if I'm missing anything or if anyone has a less pain in the ass method. Maybe a way to restore the link to the DLC without uninstalling everything. :(
Any help is appreciated thanks. :)
I would like to do this without having to re-download the game.
I think the above way would cause Steam to re-download it, right?
I thought that with Steam, your saved games are synched into the cloud. I haven't tried it with Pathfinder: Kingmaker, but with other Steam games i have I can play them on one computer and then later play them on another computer and pick up at the save point from the first computer.
That doesn't help you get back your DLC, but it would mean that if accurate, you don't risk losing your saved games.
Without understanding what happens to the DLC (data gone, license inoperative, ???) it's hard to know what specifically to do to fix the problem.
The most straightforward solution should simply be reinstalling or verify the install. Without posting screenshots, it's little difficult to explain how to verify the install data but I'd start with that. If that doesn't find anything wrong, you're pretty much stuck with re-installing.
In general, your save files shouldn't be deleted when uninstalling most games. Typically they ask if you want to keep them. However, I'm not sure if this game does or doesn't.
In the same location where you can verify the install integrity, you can also backup files, which should allow you to back up your saves.
Thanks. Sorry I didn't reply sooner I just saw this now. :)
