How to fix Party Animals "Deluxe Edition and pre-order rewards not showing" error

As mentioned by the developers, if you get this error, the first thing you should do is restart the game. Doing so will cause Party Animals to establish a fresh connection with the servers, which should potentially help them identify the variant of the game that you have, thereby allowing you to access the rewards easily.

If this doesn't work, verifying your game files should do the trick. In a lot of cases, a corrupt file might prevent you from accessing certain parts of a game or from claiming certain rewards. Verifying the game files can help your system identify and re-download all corrupt files, thereby fixing the issue.

If this, too, doesn't work, try logging out of your Steam account and then logging back in. Considering the "Deluxe Edition and pre-order bonuses not showing" error occurs due to a server issue, following the aforementioned steps should help.

In case none of these methods work, you will have to wait until the developers roll out a fix for the same. Considering they've addressed the issue on Twitter, a patch to iron out all the bugs and problems should be around the corner.
