Has PGI made any sort of statement about whether if people who pre-ordered MW5 originally before the EGS exclusive announcement will be able to trade that in for a copy on Steam?

I originally pre-ordered the game and kept the pre-order despite the EGS exclusive announcement. I have yet to install EGS(and have no plan to) and therefore have not even used my copy of the game.

I can't seem to purchase or download the new content on XBox store? Base game is available, but not expansion.

*Edited to add, I found it, but the pricing seems a bit off. I already own it on Epic, but am excited to purchase it on Xbox for the console experience. I bought the DLC on EGS, but I may hold off on the Xbox purchase until the pricing is clarified. At the moment it seems that you buy the base game for $49.99, and then the DLC is an in-game purchase for an additional $19.99, and that doesn't seem correct. I have currently the base game installed via Game Pass, but I'm hoping that there's some sort of bundle purchase added that includes both for the $49.99 available on other platforms, so I can go ahead and purchase it.

Also, and this is sort of on me, I purchased the dang Digital Extras pack along with the expansion on the EGS, BEFORE noticing that I didn't need to since I already owned the original Digital Deluxe Edition from EGS launch. Would be very nice if that could have been a bit more clearly defined, or shown as "already owned" on the EGS.

That being said, really stoked right now, so glad this stuff is here, and really, a huge thanks to all of you for your hard work!

So, I have been playing Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries since it came out on Epic. Tonight, I went to load it, and it said it was running an update and would start following it. After the update it keeps telling me it can't load, needs Microsoft Visual C and runtime. HELP!!!!!

I am having this exact same problem. And I was even playing earlier this afternoon so I know it was no known problem that popped up today.
There goes my evening after waiting all day.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to trade-in your EGS key. It's prevented by steam's rules.

I will say it now...anyone with an AMD video card should probably NOT update their game from the previous version. Make sure Epic Game Store auto-update is OFF. Wait until either PGI and/or AMD sort out the bad visual artifacts/corruption and stuttering. At this point I will NOT be buying the DLC until fixes are made...it is sad and disappointing...you guys broke the game for some us with this update. I sincerely hope PGI starts troubleshooting...because I doubt I am the only one with this issue.

There was a window to request a refund for your pre-order, but it closed a long long time ago.

What steam rule? It was PGIs decision to go epic exclusive...

[Leone]

Yup, and good thing they did too! That aside, I don't see why Steam wouldn't have rules saying money spent in other games stores doesn't translate.

A$71. Lulz. More than RDR 2. The reviews are saying joysticks are broken as hell as well.

I feel $A20 is about my price point... hopefully joysticks are fixed by that point as well.

No, i´ve found the issue.
I had the 100+pilotfaces mod in the pak folder. I deleted it and now it runs

[Trystan Thorne]

Anyone having the issue that even though they purchased the addon, the game keeps telling them you don't own it?
On EGS of course and I did keep my pre-order back in the day.

Okay, working now! Just took a while it seems.
So anyone getting this, no need for panic.
