Missing both dutch and english explorers.

5 days here and the Dutch Prince skin is still locked…
I remember playing the past event and one green check didn’t count for me after a match and at the end of the event I didn’t get the skin (Dutch Prince).

Yesterday, I played a match and again, it didn’t count.
So I’m guessing I’ll probably have the Chinese skin locked at the end of the current event.

Missing both Dutch and English explorers too. My ID is 76561198051758160.

I try to play at least once a day, get X and apparently it’s a did not participate marker, whereas I’ve played exclusively single player. The last time count for me about participation was in the event that unlocked the Aztec Queen, unfortunately the goal was not reached.

Is anyone actually working on it? Submitted the issue two weeks ago. Game did receive an update, today, but Brit and Dutch explorers are still locked. I’m online, signed into Steam client (not running in offline mode) and Xbox.

The issue isn’t even that it’s not working, but that it’s not working for some people. I own 4 copies of AoE3, including a Collector’s Edition, played it for ~2k hrs in total and I’m meticulous about having access to a complete experience. And love visual customization.

Wait… what?!
I did not get the update (Steam here)

What the heck is going on…?!

It was an in app update, they bypassed steam and updated it. To recieve it, just stay on the game menu home page for 2 - 3 mins and restart.

Ok, thank you @ResultedRex9901 :+1:

Skins have never been unlocked, even after posting id. Really poor

Don’t know what’s going on but some users were confirming their skins were unlocked…

Posted my Steam ID like 2 weeks ago and the Dutch Prince skin is still locked… :slightly_frowning_face:

I’ll take a screenshot of the Chinese skin (current event) because I got a feeling the skin will be locked at the end of the event too…

i suspect it is being unlocked manually… I was one of the first to write to Breadalus about the problem, so around the next time they will be working in aoe3 (after holidays probably), they will unlock for more people.

Odd Drake is now unlocked but not the Dutch explorer

my skins both unlocked after I installed a AOE official mod, someone else mentioned it would work and it actually did.

I was subscribed to all (few?) official mods, re-downloaded a couple of them (Winter Wonderland, Day Night Cycle, Wololo Priest Mod), restarted the game and both are still locked.

I might consider re-installing 3DE, but this thing is very clearly server-side issue and the lack of authorization that is being sent ot the player client, which allows these two skins to unlock.
No user files or action should impact it. Especially considering other skins, civs and DLCs work and don’t get locked back. Seems to be very recent and very selective problem.

I posted two weeks ago and both skins are still locked for me. I tried the mod thing but that didn’t work, likely because I already did the events prior. I hope this wouldn’t apply to the new skin but this is very frustrating.

I have unlocked all the skins personaly. However, I have to play several games before the case gets checked. This is weird.

Tried multiple fixes as suggested, still no luck with Dutch explorer skin or Drake.

Same, it feels like this has been swept under the rug and forgotten - if it’s going to be fixed in a patch, they should tell us that.
