Not all expansions shown on the forum

[Hpt_Skelturoth]

Hi there!
This might be a wrong part of the forum for this sort of a question, my apologies if so;

 

The "issue" that I'm having is - not all expansion markers are showing on my profile (only BoM and BoBP), but I have them all (only BoS was purchased through Steam, still connected to my account). Is there any way to change this?

 

Thanks!

Any of the IL-2 games that you buy on Steam will not show up on the forums. I’m not sure exactly why. The best way to fix this in future is to buy directly from the website as Steam takes a commission, even though they charge the same price. Buying from here just gives the devs that little bit extra.

 

Hope this helps!

IL2 doesn't have access to your Steam purchases (probably for privacy reasons). That's also the reason you have to start the game from Steam instead of the IL2 launcher: Steam knows what modules you bought on Steam, then you log in with your linked account to the IL2 server, which then returns what modules you bought on the IL2 site. That way, Steam doesn't know what you bought on IL2 and vice versa, while your local install knows both.

Technically,it's only Kuban that's missing then.

I understand you bought Kuban from the IL2 store? Does it show up under your purchases: https://il2sturmovik.com/store/purchases/?

It actually doesn't. It doesn't say at all where did I get it from. Now I'm confused even more \o/

In that case, are you absolutely sure you didn't just buy it on Steam as well?
