I didn't get the content I bought on Steam

If you were logged in to the game when you made your purchase on Steam (like Cartel Coins, a subscription, or a bundle) log out of the game and log back in. This will refresh your account and should make the purchases appear.

Check your email for a receipt from Steam to make sure your payment went through.

If you still can’t see the item, contact SW:TOR support and send us screenshots of your Steam account, and of the transaction. Don’t edit, crop, or blur the images. They must be fully visible and unedited.

1. Log in to the Steam client.
   • Select your username at the top right.
   • Choose Account Details.
2. Take a screenshot of your entire account details page, clearly showing your Steam account name and Steam ID.
3. Select View Purchase History.
4. Take a screenshot of your entire Purchase History screen, clearly showing the SW:TOR transaction.

Here’s what the screenshots look like:
