Works on ARK:Survival Ascended but with issues. #29

Description

@MaybeAffan

The unlocker successfully unlocks the DLCs I added via Store IDs {
; ARK Fantastic Tames - Pyromane (9N6DQ0G4CW2V)
; ARK Fantastic Tames - Drakelings (9NQF1N7N1CZK)
; ARK Fantastic Tames - Dreadmare (9PCZK1GND95Z)
; ARK: Lost Colony (9PCSM2RFXT8K)
; ARK: Bob's Tall Tales (9NLQCCNGN3DX)
}
These work fine on the game's pre included map called 'The Island'

The problem:

The game has other maps as separate add ons (Ragnarok, Extinction, Scorched Earth, etc) These are free to download add ons in the microsoft store but are ultimately separate downloads than the base game). Now even though the map files are fully downloaded and installed through the microsoft store/xbox app, the game still shows the maps as not downloaded / unavailable in the map selection screen when I run the unlocker.
I did try to solve this by adding the store IDs of these maps in the unlocker's .ini file {
; ARK: Ragnarok Ascended (9PL29W01BR9C)
; ARK: Aberration Ascended (9NCMLJBDK2VP)
; ARK: Scorched Earth Ascended (9PMXGQM52HZK)
; ARK: Extinction Ascended (9NNQXQHD415B)
; ARK: The Center Ascended (9PCHBW1J6TLW)
}
but this did not work. The game apparently thinks I own all these dlc but it doesnt know if they are downloaded or not. I did also try to redownload them after running the unlocker but they still show up as not downloaded.

Note: The unlocker worked when its files were placed in '[GameFolder]/Content' and not in '[GameFolder]/Content/ShooterGame/Binaries/WinGDK'. This game apparently launches from gamelaunchhelper.exe and not from ArkAscended.exe.
