DLC Error with GMR (SOLVED)
Hopefully someone has encountered something similar and has some insight into the problem our game is facing. I am posting here because there are no forums on the GMR site yet, and I didn't see an answer to this in the FAQ section.

I started a game with G&K and BNW, but none of the other DLCs as I got the game through the humble bundle. I specifically hosted the game because I had the least amount of content compared to the other players (who all have the Gold Edition), and didn't want to run into the "missing DLC" error. However, one of our players is getting that exact error, and we cannot pinpoint what DLC he is possibly missing. My enhanced steam is telling me that everyone in the game definitely has both expansions, and two of the players with the Gold Edition have already taken their turns.

As far as I can tell, all the players have all of the required content. Is this a savefile error, or perhaps something with his install? He is also reporting that when he goes to check what DLC he has enabled, G&K becomes unchecked whenever he starts a game; this seems like unintended behavior.

Any advice would be much appreciated

Civs in game: Arabia, Rome, Maya, Persia, Byzantium, Poland, Brazil, France
Host DLC: Vanilla, G&K, BNW, Conquest of New World Deluxe, Genghis Khan's Mongolia. Game was started with 3 expansions, no DLC
Everyone else has Gold Edition.

Cheers,
Jazzpants

Hi Jazzpants,
I was able to load the game itself that is waiting for tbuck09, so it doesn't appear to be a save file issue. If when he is loading it keeps unchecking G&K, it sounds like it isn't installed fully correctly - that is the typical symptom that occurs. What tbuck09 can do is go to his steam, right click on his Civ 5 installed game from within his library tab, select properties. Then, click on Local files tab, and then select "Verify integrity of game cache." It takes a bit o ftime, but it will install any missing files.

Fantastic.
We have followed the steps you outlined, and everything is now working exactly as intended. Thank you for your quick, concise, and useful feedback. I will mark this issue as solved, but leave it up for anyone else that experiences the same problem.

Cheers,
Jazzpants

This helped me as well, hopefully. I'm having the same problem and I'm verifying now.

Actually, this is still happening, on two different computers. I verified the cache on the current one and it said it was fine. Installed it on another computer and it's happening over there too.

Hi superstargoddess, welcome to GMR.

That gmr game requires the following DLC to play (as they are not all included in the products - some are still required to be purchased separately). The common one for people to be missing is the Explorer's Map Pack, or Isabella's Spain and Pachacuti's Incan Empire.

Genghis Khan's Mongolia
Isabella's Spain and Pachacuti's Incan Empire
Kamehameha's Polynesian Empire
Harald Bluetooth's denmark
Sejong The Great's Korea
Wonders of the Ancient World
Nebuchadnezzar's babylon
Explorer's Map Pack
God's & Kings Expansion Pack
Brave new World Expansion Pack

You can cross reference if you have all of them by clicking on DLC on the main menu. It will list the ones you own, and ensure they are GREEN, indicating they are enabled (though, when you load the game, it should enable them for you automatically if you own them).

Also, when you highlight the save game to load, you can click on DLC on the left to see which DLC are required. The game shows Washington; however, this isn't your civ, that is the civ of the original host that created the game. I did confirm you are Rome, and your turn is next.

So, if you can check by clicking on DLC off of the main menu when Civ first loads, and confirm you see all of those listed above. if you are missing one, you would need to purchase it, or drop from that game and try a different one.
