Well it listed the DLC by name "PreOrderpack1 - Explosive Mission Pack"" as soon as I input the code, but it didn't install it (at least I couldn't find it on my drive). Later it did something behind my back, and said it made an update, which I assumed was the DLC but it looks like the patch, since the executable updated, a day late I might add. You'd think they'd at least provide a human understandable log file of all the updates it does for you automatically. I don't want to start playing until the DLC is installed. Is there anyway to be sure?
I now understand why some people may hate Steam.
If you look under the news blog for the game it usually posts what the updates are, however it's up to the developer to do that and some unfortunately will provide a patch and not post an update regarding the contents or may post the update info on their own site or forum.
Regarding the patch, they did post about it yesterday
http://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=28050 (scroll down a bit)
An issue was found that caused some users to be unable to start the game on specific machines. Specifically, the presence of older ATI/AMD drivers, also on machines with NVidia hardware, would cause the game to crash on startup. This patch is a hot-fix for that particular issue. On top of this, it also increases the number of save-slots from 20, like on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, to 99.
Square-Enix, Eidos Montreal and Nixxes are committed to supporting this title and will continue to monitor for any further issues and provide additional patches in the future if required.
We hope this will help you enjoy Deus Ex: Human Revolution!
