Hearthfire Won't Download in English; Will in French and Jap

Post » Thu Nov 15, 2012 12:44 pm

After trying countless methods, I still can't get Hearthfire to install for me on Steam in English. I have tried:
  • Re-installing the game
  • Unsubscribing from all mods
  • Starting a new save
  • Deleting the Skyrim folder in Steam
  • Deleting all Skyrim data saved in the My Games folder (backing up my saves first)
  • Re-installing Steam,
  • Installing the Steam beta
  • Verifying the integrity of the game cache and de-fragmenting the cache files (both countless times)
  • Briefly installing the Skyrim 1.8 beta patch, then uninstalling it, the game, and re-downloading/re-installing the game from scratch.
  • Submitting a Steam support ticket
The only thing that seemed to work to any degree is installing the game in another language, such as French or Japanese. HearthFires.bsa and HearthFires.esm will then suddenly download. If I then copy these files to another folder, switch the game language back to English, put these files in the Skyrim folder, then launch the game, click "Data Files", and enable HearthFires.esm (it will not appear in "Data FIles" any other way that I've tried), the DLC will load, but all the voices relating to Hearthfire will be in another language (e.g. French).

Worth noting is that under the "DLC" section of the game's Steam properties, I have Dawnguard (Steam Store), Hearthfire (Retail - was purchased from GreenManGaming.com), Skyrim High Resolution Texture Pack (Steam Store), and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim japanese Hearthfire (Retail).

ANY help would be MUCH appreciated!

Thank you,

Osiris

Even after downloading the official 1.8 patch and re-verifying the integrity of my game cache, Hearthfire will still not download in English.

Anyone have any thoughts? I really want to play the DLC I paid for :)
