Cant download new Free DLC via steam

[Fealty]

Anyone know how to download the Free DLC, Deck of Many Things?

 

I am running steam on Ubuntu 18.04.  Every time I click the Download button in Steam on the content page it just starts Pillars of Eternity.  If I click on the picture in the game view the News panel on the start screen it just try to login steam through the browser...

 

Any help would be appreciated...

Nvm, after clicking and restarting a few times it worked. There is something wrong with the DLC process. If I click the Download via steam button it should not open the game, it should just download the content...

Clicking "download" bootst the game, but also supresses the DL so you need to quit the game again to get the download running :/

Hi Fealty,

 

We know that this download process for free DLCs can be frustrating, however this is an issue with how Steam installs free DLC. We do not have control of how free DLC is installed.

Can you simply add it in a patch? The process as it is now is really frustrating.
