family share and DLC

Jump back to quoted post27 Nov 2015, 17:01 PMmadbull

I have been using family share to play CoH2.

I re-installed CoH2 and now for some reason the purchased DLC from my main is NOT available on this secondary account. All DLCs boxes are checked in View Downloadable Content in Steam...

Could you please tell me how to fix this?

iirc, unchecking and rechecking the dlc will fix the problem.

if that doesn't work, you may also want to try starting the game after unchecking the dlc, close it, then recheck them.

Me and my housemates have the same problem. There are many problems with the family sharing when using CoH2. DLC commanders can somehow always be used by all family shared accounts, yet something like the Fall Blau singleplayer expansion, can only be used on the main account. Further more, sometimes the game mixes up playercards and wins and/or losses are added on the player card of the wrong player.

It is just horrible.

You should try the above

but 1 thing i can tell you is that, given:
Account 1 - MAIN ACCOUNT, purchased game, and most DLC
Account 2 - Secondary account, plays CoH2 via family share

THEN:
(1) ANY DLC purchased on Account 1 will be available to Account 2 for gameplay. Includes any PURCHASED DLC - mission packs, commander, faceplate, western army, etc To ensure these work, just play with checking/unchecking DLC on Steam first page - it WILL work eventually
(2) ANY DLC purchased on Account 2 will NOT be available to Account 1. I tested this in different ways, it doesn't even show up on Account 1 list of DLC. I have also enabled two-way family sharing, and doesn't work.
(3) War spoils are NOT shareable between accounts, because they are not technically DLCs - another example is the Decals from Make War not Love, which dropped as War Spoil and which I cannot access on my alternate account

Hope this helps!
