Installed the Grand Campaign DLCs, but cannot play them

[catholicryanite]

Greetings,

For some reason, when I tried to continue my playthrough of Panzer Corps' Grand Campaign '43 East, I was unable to start it. Any saves I had did not run as usual. The also holds true for all the other Grand Campaigns. Tried to uninstall the game, deleted any and all saves, then reinstalled it to no avail.

Attached are some screenshots to clarify my case.

Normally, when you play the Grand Campaign, you are supposed to go to the 'Classified' folder tab. In my case, it turned out to be missing. Moreover, I had these DLCs installed since early July of this year.

Does anyone have any way of working around this?

Are you running the Steam version or the Slitherine version?

I am running the Steam version. I downloaded both the base game and all of the Grand Campaign Expansions off of Steam.

I should add that, prior to this, it was working perfectly fine without problems. However, that was almost a month ago (18th Sept, to be exact). Between today and 18th September, I did not play the game at all. Whether this has to do with that month long gap in time, I have no idea.

Please check if you are running 1.30 version and also check if your Steam client is update.
You can see which game version are you running in the bottom of the main menu screen.

If I am not running version 1.30, should I update the game?

You should check the integrity of the game cache as your Steam game can only be updated from your Steam's client:

Okay, I checked the main menu, and the game is to date. However, I still cannot play the any of the Grand Campaigns.

I validated the game's integrity, and all the files were successful. Not one failed to be verified.

Rename the folder named "Panzer Corps" in Documents\My Games as "_Panzer Corps" and run the game.

Rename the folder named "Panzer Corps" in Documents\My Games as "_Panzer Corps" and run the game.

Okay, I did exactly that, and now the 'Classified' Folder tab appears! Also, I kept my old saves of last playthrough for '43 East on my flashdrive, should I copy and paste them to "_Panzer Corps"?

Update: It works!
Thanks for the help!

I'm having this same issue right now. Game is from Steam. 1.30 version. Cache valid... Can't get DLC's or run any saves. Please help.

That's weird, I experienced the same problem again, yet I tried to repeat the same method. In this case, the game couldn't find not only the saves, but also the classified tab for Grand Campaign. I wonder why?

I seem to be experiencing almost exactly the same problem. I have repeatedly reinstalled Panzer Corps but there is no sign of the campaign folder on the front screen. The save games show on the list but do not load.

I have followed all of the steps set out by von Paulus to no effect. Steam shows all my DLCs as installed and the cache is verified. Changing the My Documents directory to _Panzer Corps has unfortunately not helped.

Any help gratefully received!
