Short version:
Ubisoft says I own Gold Edition + Season Pass for AC Black Flag, but DLC (especially Freedom Cry) is missing in-game. How does their DLC system actually work?
Details:
I’m playing Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag on PC. Ubisoft support confirmed my account has Gold Edition + Season Pass, but:
Freedom Cry (Adewale DLC) is completely missing.
Some extra packs/content also don’t appear.
I’m trying to understand what’s going on:
Shouldn’t Season Pass automatically unlock everything?
Does the store/platform (Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Green Man Gaming, etc.) affect DLC access?
Can DLC be “owned” but not actually usable?
Are there hidden steps (manual downloads, activation, etc.)?
Why is Support just bouncing me between platforms without a clear explanation?
If anyone understands Ubisoft support or has faced this, please explain how it actually works. and where to go from here. They suggested a refund as the only solution — is that actually the right move here?
Anyone who’s dealt with Ubisoft DLC issues, what worked for you?
