### ▶ GAME INFORMATION

👇 _These details are CRITICAL; DO NOT skip them or your issue may not be reviewed._

- **GAME BUILD** #: 185872
- **GAME PLATFORM:** Microsoft Store
- **OPERATING SYSTEM:** Windows 11

### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

👇 _DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE_ BUG PER THREAD.  
The DLC campaigns have no dialogue. The regular campaigns that are included in the base game works fine and there is dialogue in the slides before the game starts and the voice actors are also in-game whenevere there is dialogue. On all the DLC that are a separate install and not part of the base game the dialogue does not play in either the slides at the start/end of the game or during the game. I have tried reinstalling the game and DLCs, reparing the game and clearing files and nothing works. I have tested on another PC and experience the same issue. When i installed it on my Xbox Series X the voice actor dialogue worked fine.

### ▶ FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

👇 _How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!_

- **100%** of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

### ▶ REPRODUCTION STEPS

👇 _List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!_

I try to play the game regularly on the DLC campaigns and there is simply no voice actor dialogue in any of the DLCs.

### ▶ EXPECTED RESULT

👇 _What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?_

There would be a voice actor saying the dialogue.

### ▶ IMAGE

👇 _ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem._

Hello I have the same problem. It seems they forgot to add the English voices for Xbox Game Store or used an incorrect path (They had a similar error in other DLCs…)

For example, in Spanish the voices are ok.
