Quoting: abelthorneIt seems that to get the DLC working, you have to verify the files of the game (through Properties). Maybe you should update the article about this.You only need to verify game files if you installed the game in the initial hours after it was released. Everyone else who installed after they fixed this issue doesn't need to do it.
http://steamdb.info/app/34440/ it lists Linux as a valid platform, but not on the store. It doesn't download anything, too.
