    Unable to install "Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare" on PC


    I purchased "Halo Wars 2 Complete Edition" for Windows 10 PC today, and installed it.

    In the "my library" section of the Microsoft Store app, all the components of the "complete edition" show up, but only the Halo Wars 2 base game has a "launch" button next to it. All the other items, including the DLC, show as "You own this product." with
    a big blue check-mark next to them, but no option to download or install.

    If I click the "Awakening the Nightmare" menu option inside the Halo Wars 2 game after launching it, it asks permission to launch the store app, and then comes back immediately with "nothing to do, you already own the game, please install from the store
    app". But as I mentioned, the store app just shows it as "owned", with no options for downloading, installing, or enabling it.

    I've gone through the usual troubleshooting steps, clearing store app cache, rebooting, applying all updates, etc, nothing fixes it.

    Browsing the game and DLC from the web version of the Microsoft store yields the same results, just says "already owned" with no option to download or install.

    :)

    Halo Wars 2 dlc not trasnferring over to PC, what to do?

    Hello!

    I'm an independent advisor and a member of the Xbox Community.

    I will be glad to help you.

    The base game is Play Anywhere, that is, you can use the same license on console and PC, but this is not the case for the DLCs, as these are listed separately in the Microsoft Store for each platform.

    DLC for console:

    https://www.xbox.com/games/store/halo-wars-2-aw...

    DLC for PC:

    https://www.xbox.com/games/store/halo-wars-2-aw...

    I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

    Best Regards.

    How to play awakening the nightmare on xbox?

    That's quite a generic response.... The actual reason is the game is actually installed, it's just not intuitive where to access it. You have to open halo wars 2, and instead of clicking the big button that says "awakening the nightmare" which open opens
    it in the store, you actually need to start a new campaign, and then FROM THERE, you can select awakening the nightmare......

    Please record this for other people who complain about the same thing.

    Problems with Halo Wars 2 Season Pass

    Hi Piquet21 sorry to hear about your problem. If you go into "my games and apps" than press start over Halo Wars 2, the DLC should be there in the ready to install section.

    Please note that the Awakening the Nightmare DLC is not covered by the season pass.

    wtf

    So wtf indeed, especially with this information :

    "

    With the release of the new expansion and several months of updates to Halo Wars 2 since launch, the Ultimate Edition of the game will be replaced with Halo Wars 2: Complete Edition. The Complete Edition includes the base game, all Season Pass content and
    the Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare expansion, making this a great package for anyone who is looking to jump into the Halo Wars 2 experience.
