tineras Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 I purchased the Steam version of the F-5E and added it to my DCS account using the Steam CD Key. It shows up in the non-steam version (2.2 Open Alpha) now. However, I also purchased 2 Campaigns for the F-5E and they DO NOT have CD Keys in Steam. How do I add these to my non-steam install? I checked the official faq related to steam keys on the DCS forums and there was no answer to this question. This whole process is a bit annoying and I think it's too late to refund the Steam version since I already activated it on the DCS website. Thanks
Rudel_chw Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 If the campaigns have no key, then they cant be used on standalone. You could install the steam version of dcs and use that to complete the campaigns, afterwards returning to standalone if you eant.

So Anything w/ a Release Date Later than May 2017 will not be able to be moved to ED's Distribution.

Uggh. I only checked the date on the aircraft. I'll see if I can refund only the dlc and purchase it directly from ED. I only play very casually, so dealing with all this is a bit foreign to me. Thanks

The problem is that I don't have NTTR on steam which is listed as a requirement for the 2 campaigns, so I can't actually do that. I'm just going to see if I can refund the DLC campaigns and buy from ED.
