Hey everyone, I know this has been rough with all the online access and the missing DLC so I tossed together a mega thread hoping this will help. If none of this works. I ask that instead of replying back with something like me too or didn’t work, please just click the me-too option on the thread. Those who get it to work seem to be an account/entitlement interaction that triggers something. The whole online vs offline feature for the game. If you find a step that works, just DM me and let me know I will add it to this list!

On Xbox, as silly as this may be gotta throw it in. Xbox DLC Issues
I have read that Account A that purchased cannot access content/get online but guest account B can. If you log in and play on Account B, then remove the guest account, and go back to Account A, some say it shows up both others do not. This leads me to believe that it is entitlement related but I am not 100 on that one.
