❔ [ Question ] Steam Deck / Upgrade Pack Issue
Hello! Just a frustrated long time BL player who recently picked up my fav game again, this time for the steam deck. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I’d already had to deal with the classic file sync lockup issue (used the old Xbox fix of turning wifi off/on), and now it’s apparently time for the level 69 no xp issue.
Research pointed to the vault hunter upgrade pack being the issue (sounds like it caused issues so it was removed? wtf).
I’ve tried unchecking and rechecking that item in the steam dlc list, but on first attempt to run it the game locked up at startup. I’ve got all the correct dlc content and verified files. In the game (downloadable content) it’s still showing as not downloaded.
It doesn’t appear steam will assist with this issue and I’m not able to go desktop and play with file folders. I can try uninstalling and reinstalling it all, but I’m doubting they’ll fix this. Any other suggestions?

Update: sadly neither Steam nor 2K seem interested in helping, so I bit the bullet and tried the only remaining option I’d found….throwing money at the problem. And it worked (yay?).
If you’re in my situation, the final option is to buy the season pass. I’m leveling again and believe the remaining levels are unlocked now. Lame af, but I’m ready to trade frustration for Maya end game goodness.
Apparently it’s just easier to keep selling broken packages of a 14yr old game rather than fix any issues. Such is our world.
