Yep

Ugh, that's disappointing! I don't have any additional steps you can try, but I'll let our team know. Thanks for your patience!

Have you tried using the beta version of the launcher as I suggested?

Originally posted by TeamLoad: It doesn’t work, as I already said in the comments under the news about the release of the DLC, it’s not displayed for me only in the game, that is, in the launcher everything is displayed for me that was purchased and installed, as well as turned on.

I have personally worked to troubleshoot this issue, so I know what you're seeing, alas. Please Verify your game files in Steam (right click Stellaris in your library -> Properties - Installed Files -> Verify), then exit Steam, and run Steam as an administrator.

Verifying the files will re-sync with the latest version of the game, and should resolve the issue. If it does not, you can try running the Launcher's beta version (Under Launch... Read more

Originally posted by whereisscott: Yeah, there's no option to "run as admin" when you right click on programs with a Mac. It's just not there in the dropdown menu. From what I understand, if you're the only user on a Mac, you're automatically the Admin and programs automatically run at that permission level (but let me know if I'm getting this wrong).

Running a File as Administrator on Mac:
Locate the file you want to run as an administrator.
Hold down the "Control" key on your keyboard and click on the file.
From the context menu, select "Open" while still holding down the "Control" key.
If prompted, enter your administrator credentials.

Originally posted by whereisscott: I'm the only user on my Mac, so I'm already the Admin (sorry, didn't make it clear I was on a Mac). Confirmed in the Permission for Steam that this is being run with full read/write permissions.

I'm not sure if it's the same for Mac as on a Windows machine, but even though I'm the admin/only user on my machine, I still need to do the "run as admin" thing for certain actions (some unrelated to gaming). Can you try it and let me know?

This is normal. We keep only one rollback branch in the 3.9.X series.

Originally posted by whereisscott: It was running fine for me until the hotfix that just was issued. Now it's saying the DLC is missing and I can't open my savegame file. I've verified the game, but the issue is persisting.

After verifying the files, can you please right-click Steam and run as administrator, and let me know if that resolves your issue?

We just deployed a fix for the ownership verification for Astral Planes. If you had those issues, we ask you to verify Stellaris Game files.

In order to do so, right click on Stellaris on your library, then Properties, Local Files and Verify Game Files.

Additionally, there are another couple of steps you can take:

-- Right click Steam, click "Run as Administrator", check the DLC ownership through the game.
-- (In Windows) Go to Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Paradox Launcher V2, then relaunch the game through Steam.

We want to thank all the affected players for their reports, in particular those who helped us troubleshooting the issue on Discord. If you continue having issues, please let us know!

Are you able to start a new game, and if so, is the Riftworld origin available to select?

Thanks for the assistance.

Edit: Looks like everything's working now, so, uh, never mind! Have fun!

Our team says that the launcher may be taking some time to update -- as long as your "additional content" page has updated and shows ownership of Astral Planes, you will have access to the new DLC.

Originally posted by Lucullo: I too have this problem. I verified the files and restarted Steam a couple of times but it is still there.
However, the "unable to verify ownership" flag appears only in the launcher (DLC tab) while the "addtional content" page says "owned".
I've not yet tried playing.

Our team says that the launcher may be a little wonky, but as long as the "additional content" page has updated, you will have access to the new DLC.

@avilob and @Xentor, can you confirm that you have updated to 3.10.0, and are not using an older branch of the game?

Hi everyone -- the fix for this seems to be to verify your installation, and then to restart Steam (in that order). Please let me know if that doesn't resolve your issues!

Originally posted by avilob: yup did everything, redownloaded the game, restarted steam, verified files

Are you still experiencing issues after verifying the files, and then restarting Steam (in that order)?

Please restart Steam after verifying your files! Let us know if that doesn't resolve your issue.
