I bought the season pass on the Xbox App, but the game says I need to install the DLC

When buying the season pass, it's sometimes necessary to install each DLC individually from their individual store pages. 

Please be sure to check each one and install them from the pages themselves.

I can't see High Alert on my TV!

If you can't see the button prompt for High Alert on your TV, it may be that your TV's overscan feature is interfering with the game's aspect ratio. Follow the steps below to disable it.

How to turn off overscan

2. Open the menu on your HDTV using your HDTV remote, or menu buttons attached to your TV.
3. Select the "Picture" option from the menu.
4. Find and select the option reading "Overscan" - note: some manufactures call this feature "Picture Size" or "Edge Control""

What is a DxDiag file?

A DxDiag is a diagnostic file that helps us to determine what might be preventing your game from working as it should.

It can tell us whether your PC meets a game's minimum requirements, if has the most up-to-date drivers installed, or if it has reported any errors related to the problem you are having.

It contains no personal data other than the name of your PC, and we will delete it from our systems once your case is closed.

 

How to I create a DxDiag?

• Click the Start menu in Windows and in the 'Search Programs and Files' or 'Run' field search for 'dxdiag.exe' and run the program.

 

 

• This will start the diagnostic tool and it will scan your PC. When it finishes click the button which says 'Save All Information...' and save the text file to a location on your desktop.
• Attach the file when submitting a request in our contact form, or when replying to a support email.

 

 

What does it mean to 'verify' my game files, and why should I do it?

When you 'verify' your game files, Steam checks to make sure that the game has all the files that it needs, and replaces any that are missing.

If your game is glitching, running strangely, or not launching, it may be that it is missing a file or multiple files. Verifying your files establishes if this is the case, and replaces the files if it is.

 

How do I verify my files?

This guide demonstrates from beginning to end how to verify your game files on Steam. 

We recommend you do this with your anti-virus software temporarily disabled. This is to ensure that your anti-virus does not prevent files from installing by mistaking them as illegitimate or malicious. For more details on why we ask this, please visit: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/5F3D-1477-AFF9-C4F3.
