    GFWL client, can't retrieve purchase history

    Nothing downloads through steam except for the main game. Steam is really confusing for some alt-client games. It will say the DLC is 'installed' (checked) in steam, but all it really is is a key for GFWL. It actually doesn't matter from the steam end whether
    or not these DLC are 'installed'. You have to redeem the keys steam gives you back on GFWL (today: xbox store or win8/10 app, redeeming keys in GFWL does not work last I checked).
    Yes, I figured this out, albeit the hard way.

    You are seeing this DLC in game (although not available) because some of the free DLC files are actually downloaded with the paid DLC downloads. Lots of things are downloaded with traitor's keep IIRC, but only unlocked when you 'download' them for real from
    GFWL.

    Also download in game through the dashboard does not work, everything must be downloaded through the GFWL client outside of the game first. Then it will be available once you reach certain points in the game.
    At least for some things. That seems to be what happened with those 2 weapons, and the Yule hat. But the Highlander outfits and tattoos haven't shown up, and neither have the dyes or dog potions. I suppose it's possible these don't unlock when they did
    in the 360 version of the game, but I remember pretty clearly being able to wear the highlander gear as soon as the wardrobe was unlocked in the Sanctuary. I've now gotten both the Dwellers and Brightwall loyal, though, and am about to head to Bowerstone
    to meet the Resistance, and all those things are still locked for me. The free DLC weapons unlocked as soon as I was able to equip them.

    To add further frustration, if you plan to play this online (The servers were amazingly still up last I checked, although no one is ever playing) both players must have the EXACT SAME DLC installed. You will get an error about not having identical DLC if not,
    and it will not let you co-op. Since traitor's keep gives achievements, I just kept only this one installed for playing online (although I could never find anyone to play with).
    I'll keep this in mind in case I decide to bother trying to do co-op, but I wasn't really planning on it. If I did, I'd likely be enlisting my brother, who should have the same version of the game. I'm not really that interested in multiplayer as a rule,
    though.

    Hey again everyone!

    I wanted to drop in to see if you're still experiencing issues. We were able to successfully access purchase history after testing it recently. Keep us in the loop :)
    Thank you! Mine is working just fine now! Time to get gaming! Thank you so much for getting this resolved.
