I downloaded OB:WWII (8.3.0 from Steam, 7.1.4 from you) but when I try to launch The Blitzkrieg DLC it keeps saying there's no WWII. what's up?

Did you update to the latest version 8.6.1 first?

Well, I tried deleting the settings file and it has worked. Problem solved, and happy days are here again!

I have bought all the DLCs, but when I launch the game through Steam only some of them appear.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried checking the integrity of game files.
I can see all the German and Pacific Scenarios, but only Red Star Rising for the Russians and nothing for the Allies.
Any ideas?

Are you sure you have manually activated the DLCs in Steam (using the specific Steam keys)?
If you purchased the Slitherine versions you get two set of keys for each DLC.

OOB wouldn't boot after installing v10 upgrade. No error messages, just crashed. Deleted settings, no change. Uninstalled and reinstalled no change.

Uninstalled. Searched for all files / folders with order of battle in the name that were left behind. Found a ton of them. The uninstaller for this game is a POS.

Deleted everything I found. Installed the latest version from the Slitherine website., 7.1.4. Updated to v10. Now I get this message when clicking on Play Order of Battle from the game menu.

Did a search of the entire C drive for the file, and it does nor exist anywhere on the drive.
Reference for desktop shortcut is
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Slitherine\Order of Battle - WWII\autorun.exe"
Is the autorun file messed up somehow?

Not sure if this helps, but I think you are supposed to use 10.0 as the basic installer (not update from v7).

The problem is that I transferred many Slitherine games from my older computer. Now none of them work.

You can't transfer games from one computer to another. You'll have to install them using their game file installer.

That doesn't appear in the folder for any of the games. They all say I need the license. I received those many years ago and can't find them.

If you registered your games on the My Page you should find all licences there.
