Hey, guys. I’m having an Rome II: Emperor Edition in library on the Epic Games Store. According to the documentation, the game should include the free add-ons: the Seleucid and Bactrian Faction Packs.

The issue occurs even in the base game (without mods)—even though I should have access to the Seleucids and Bactria, I can't play as them in the main campaign. It's the same in DEI. None of these factions are available

There are no downloadable add-ons available (in the EGS library);

The launcher doesn’t show any inactive add-ons.

Both the game and DEI are up to date.

Technical support suggested using the installation verification tool—I tried it three times—with no results.

 I also tried running the game as an administrator (also suggested by technical support).

What do you suggest in this case? Is there a way to fix this? Is it possible to download the updates with the free faction packs and install them manually? Or is there a mod that unlocks the factions?

Do I need to unlock these factions in some way in DEI? I thought they were supposed to be available right away.

Hey, guys. I’m having an issue with Rome II: Imperial Edition. I added it to my library on the Epic Games Store. According to the documentation, the game should include the free add-ons: the Seleucid and Bactrian Faction Packs. And here’s the problem:

- the factions aren’t unlocked;

- there are no downloadable add-ons available (in the EGS library);

- the launcher doesn’t show any inactive add-ons.

In short, I can't play as these factions even though the game is up to date and there are no updates available.

I installed the game a week ago. There are no updates available. Technical support suggested using the installation verification tool—I tried it three times—with no results.

I also tried running the game as an administrator (also suggested by technical support).

Interestingly, after installing the DEI mod, those factions are also blocked.

Of course, Epic's tech support couldn't care less.

What do you suggest in this case? Is there a way to fix this? Is it possible to download the updates with the free faction packs and install them manually? Or is there a mod that unlocks the factions?
