    Why do I have missing store items every time I play my game? They will be there one day and gone the next. Anyone know why this is happening?

      So I haven't got any responses but I still want to update.
      So i re-installed all the missing items. Launched my game and they still are not in my game. I really want to get this fixed. I guess I will not purchase anything else from the store or download gifts until I can get this fixed. A lot of my items just will not show up in game anymore... :( Stinks!

      Two suggestions:

      Delete the file missingdeps.idx in DCCache and see if everything is showing up again.

      If that doens't help, you will probably need to reinstall ALL your store content

      - Go to DCCache and move all *.ebc files to the desktop
      - Delete the missingdeps.idx
      - Now all store content should show as not installed.
      - Reinstall everything BUT don't choose all of them. Do it in portions. The *.ebc files that are generated should not be over 200-300 MB in size. If you choose to many, you end up with files that are 1 GB or more. In my experience, the game doesn't like that too much.

      that is what I'm doing... but it missed an item or 2.... so I'm curently checking it to be sure it is there... then putting it back in... aperently 200-300 mb was to much for my pc.... or the numbers of items counts as well?....

      Decided to after this make folders of smaller numbers of items...

      I don't think the amount of them counts. I just noticed that when the file was very big, my launcher got very very laggy. Haven't played much so I can't account for the ingame issues.
