frozendude173 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've spent PLENTY of time trying to install this thing, but it won't work. I had already bought the game, so I just bought the DLC, and it just confused me and I got frustrated because I couldn't figure it out. What do I do with the data files? What do I do with the manifest file whatever it is? Please someone who knows or a developer please reply or whatever to tell me how to do this!

J20hawkz Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well once you download the DLC all you do is restart steam. It should work.

emrextreme Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Your installation file is in your humble bundle page. Download it and just install, you don't need to move any file or folder unless you're doing some kind of pirating.

Lamkin Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Check on your Humble Library key page and you'll see a link to download the Don't Starve: Reign of Giants DLC. (Should be directly underneath the base game.)

Ohnoswords1 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think I have the same problem. As we speak, the updater is updating to version 21, so I don't know what's going to happen. All I have in the RoG folder that the files were installed in were: (sorry I didn't upload a picture, I can't for some reason) Data (file folder)manifest_dlc0001.json (JSON file)uninstall_rog.exe (application)No batch file like the base game, or anything inside the data folder to open the game. I will edit when the game finally opens, and tell you whether it worked or not. EDIT: It didn't work. I still have just the base game. This is apparently a very major issue, as barely anybody can get the DLC to work on the standalone.

emrextreme Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm using the standalone with dlc. There's no problem there, on your humble bundle page there're two installers, one for vanilla one for dlc. Just uninstall everything and donwload both installers again and run them. I repeat there's no problem with standalone dlc game.

Ohnoswords1 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I only have the one for the DLC. I got Don't Starve as a gift, and decided to buy the DLC myself. I will try reinstalling the DLC, but I don't see how that will help much. EDIT: I will now try reinstalling the main game using my gifter's key. It may take a while for me to get back.

Ohnoswords1 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Is vanilla game from Humble Bundle store or Gog? OK. I'm just going to say everything now. Both the vanilla game and the DLC are from humble bundle store, but they're using two different keys. I am currently uninstalling the vanilla game. I will then uninstall the DLC. Then, I will reinstall the vanilla game. Then, I will reinstall the DLC. This is what I am supposed to do, correct?

You'd have to buy it through steam. If it's not in your steam library already you should buy it properly through steam. If it just has not shown up after you've already purchased the game through steam, contact steam support!I'm not a representative of KLEI, far from it - but... using a free version is frowned upon unless you cant afford it. Atleast to me. If you want to cheat, you can just go to your steam library... go to the bottom... and hit the "+ADD A GAME" button and then add your "Free" Don't Starve launcher to your library from there... like a strange... pretender...yaaaayyyy... Making games is hard work. It costs a couple days lunch to get a game that can keep you entertained for months/years. Please support KLEI.

Making games is hard work. It costs a couple days lunch to get a game that can keep you entertained for months/years. Please support KLEI. Please remember that many users posting do not have English as their first language. What we understand as "free" may mean "standalone"or "not using Steam to always play the game." For instance, I have Standalone and Steam. And I can vouch, after buying the game and RoG from the Widget (which means Humble Bundle,) I was able to update it to both Standalone and Steam. look at JanH's link again, and notice not only can you download the Standalone files, a link to give you a Steam key is already provided. The catch is to use the key as verification when you run the installation, and yes, you MUST allow permission to update the game. On Steam, you simply instal the game by adding a Steam key. It may ask for it again the first time running the DS game. However, if a user is using a free trial or (even) a pirated version, the update will not work. You must buy a full and valid copy of the game to allow the add-on.
