That all sounds like an issue DRM-related. That's what happens when you offer a drm-free game, add the dlc content already to the game with the last patch (occupying more space in your hd) and then block the content behind an auth server online instead of offering dlc's that add the content. That's not exactly drm-free. It's the same as the extra content for backers, we can't simply install anything because it's already installed and it doesn't show in game unless you login to Paradox :(

EVEN IF you are correct, since they said they are going to fix it now, all is well.

Absolutely, and i'm really glad for you. I only hope that all the blocked content for me was also fixed to be disposable offline :(

So, has this been fixed or what?

Does this mean I don't need to be online or anything like that to install the Flashpoint DLC? With the offline files?

As a gamer who doesn't use the client, thank you. I am going to order it tonight.

I'm very interested in this game but seeing as how it's being published by Paradox I guess I'll have to wait a couple years till they release a complete version, I hate buying piecemeal games.

I feel the same way, the whole Battletech thing is feeling like a sly bait and switch

Haven`t even got the DLC yet cos I`m that put off even though I am an original fan of Battletech. I just don`t feel like giving them my money. They just haven`t earned my respect yet. Also the whole pc gender identity thing put me off too. No place for it anywhere let alone BattleTech, Just cos the lead Dev is a trans don`t mean we need his personal identity shoved in our games.

I`m doing X4 while I consider what to do about Battletech.

I bought the expansion. I have not yet been able to access a flashpoint yet for two key reasons.

One, they pop up a little notice, but it pretty much always popswhile you have a window open and you cannot read it. Then it disappears before you can scribble down whatever system the flashpoint is in.

Two, they do not really show up on the map. Would it not be **STELLAR** for Flashpoints to show up on the interstellar map as, ooh I don't know . . . maybe BRIGHT STARS or something???? Is that too much to ask?

So yeah . . .maybe there are some jungles out there somewhere too. . . I heard that rumor, but then maybe I was drunk in a bar somewhere on Circinus at the time?



I love the game, but I think maybe it might have been rushed a bit. Sorry, I was not around for the backer bit, but perhaps I should have been. I was playing the game back before most the current players were born it seems. We have some things to fix. Let's not point fingers. Let's just fix them and move on.

Yeah, I get the Trans thing. People want to see others like themselves. If involved in a creative endeavor, it might be natural to slip something in like that. Sorry, sad but true. It happens. It is not good for business. It can even crash an enterprise when you are dealing with more conservative folk, and wargamers tend to lean pretty conservative. Hopefully, not too much of that will become ingrained in final products.
