Just bought FotS - but what about Shogun 2 now?

[colonial113]

I bought FotS in retail and successfully activated inside Steam. Shows up in my history as it should.
But here is the strange thing: in my steam Library, the game shows up as "Total War - Shogun 2", and FotS is listed in the DLC section! So - not a separate entity in my Library list - altough Steam advertises the game as a completely separate product!
The problem it creates is that Steam maybe now believes that I own Shogun 2 - because I have no option of actually buying the game!
What the heck?

That's normal. Fall of the Samurai's campaign is listed under the Main Menu's new campaign; if you don't own Shogun2, then it's campaign will be greyed out.

Are you trying to purchase Shogun 2? What does it say?

Yepp, this is the problem, it says:
"You already own Total War: SHOGUN 2" -> PLAY NOW
And have the option to buy it as a gift...
I've just been informed by my friend, who also bought it in retail, that he suffers from the exact same problem!

I already owned Shogun 2, but I would like to install Fall of the Samurai without installing Shogun 2. This shouldn't be a problem because it is a stand-alone expansion. But since FotS is listed as DLC, I can't get it to work.

Any help would be a appreciated!

To save space you mean? That is not possible, the two games share so many files it wouldn't make sense anyway. In your configuration, you start FotS from within Shogun 2.

As for OP's problem, that is weird indeed. I'd go post at the official forums to get support for that.

Got the same problem.
Does this mean I can't buy Shogun 2 now at all?

Have you guys tried to buy it from other websites? then just activate the key through steam. I imagine steam won't let you buy it cause it thinks you have it but if you just get a code and plug it in, it might work? just an idea

[Tz33ntch]

Yeah, it might work, but I don't want to waste $30 on something that just might work.

I think it's a big possibility that it will work, just noway to be sure

[daelin4]

Isn't it possible to buy as a gift and then say you want it for yourself?
