New packs not detected by game, have tried all standard fixes

EE contact page is just directing me to a bot that asks the same questions over and over and sends me to the same unhelpful article

I downloaded three new packs today, they downloaded in the background as usual, the game showed me welcome notifications when they were finished and i restarted the game to activate them but when i tried to play any of the new content none of it showed up other than the world ravenwood which was greyed out and showing as still downloading even though the download was showing as completed elsewhere

I have tried: moving the mods folder, deleting all mods, delete the thumbnail cache folder, repair the install. uninstall and reinstall all the packs. clear the EA app cache. multiple attempts to repair the install. all the packs are showing as installed in my EA app but now completely invisible in game, the game is not detecting them at all and EA's contact us for support chat page seems to be a mirage with only a useless bot that goes around in circles.

  • I'm also having the same issue with an expansion pack I bought today.  I also bought a game pack and stuff pack but haven't got far enough in to see if they are having the same issue as the expansion pack.  My download/add-on manager says they are downloaded, I've restarted the game but when I try to access the new world, it's faded out and says it will be available after it's fully downloaded and restarted.  I've uninstalled, re-installed, restarted and it's still doing the same.  If I access my content through the marketplace it actually shows "deactivated" over the newly purchased expansion pack.  Stupid!

  • Don't uninstall/reinstall any other of your working DLC. It sounds like the same thing that happened to me is happening to you and if you do what I did (full reinstalled) NONE of your DLC will work. Don't have a solution yet but... just a warning so you don't lose everything but the base game like I did.
