Installing Fallout 3 DLC Is "Like Giving Birth"

PC gamers are reporting a number of issues with installing and playing the recently released Fallout 3 DLC, Operation: Anchorage.

The problem seems to be that after you download and install the game, and even after the Games For Windows client has told you that it's been installed, the DLC doesn't seem to go into effect in-game. Technically, you should be able to wander to a certain spot in the Wasteland, whereupon you'll pick up a mysterious radio signal that will lead to the new content. For a number of players, however, that radio signal never shows up.

Because we all know how great the 360 mods are for this one...

We also know the fatal crashes of the PC version.

It will not play anymore, save files are corrupt it will crash instantly upon playing over and over no matter what settings its on and how many times I reinstall. It's not the client, it's the game.

Anyway I agree, what a waste of money and time was that DLC apparently.

I don't install ad supported software so why would I want GFW just to play some damned DLC? STOP trying to foist your crappy client on me, MS.

I didn't want it when you tried to charge for it and I don't want it now.

Luckily the PC always has workarounds.

likedamaster5986d ago

You obviously never used the client. Fail.

Can I be bothered to go back to Fallout 3....

No

MasterD9194732d ago

And of course Skyrim's Dawngaurd DLC isn't in the mix...

TrendyGamers4732d ago

Most people have all this DLC already.

KingOfArcadia4732d ago

Dang, got excited there for a second. Then I realized that I've already played through all the FO3 add-ons, I just bought the Oblivion GOTY edition yesterday, and Dawnguard last week.

FIX YOUR GAME FIRST, IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS!

MrDead4788d ago

I love these games but they do drive me insane, save often or you could lose a lot of hard work when it crashes and it always does.

Broken Steel is by far the most broken of the DLC when I'm in the main courtyard of the steel works the game almost stutters to a halt.

A good tip, if your game starts to slow bring up your pipboy for a few seconds and it seems to sort out the problem, works better in New Vegas.

Suddenbrain4788d ago

Maybe I'm not disappointed that this isn't available in the US then. I haven't played any of the DLC yet but just assumed bugs would have been worked out by now. That's pretty sad if it is still broken.

Megaton4788d ago

Heard the DLC is unplayable on PS3.

MrDead4788d ago (Edited 4788d ago )

Only had big problems with Broken Steel save and reload if you have issues.

NastyLeftHook04788d ago

i played it. how is playing it unplayable? makes no sense to me.

Tru_Blu4788d ago

I got 100% on FO3. Great game but the main game is buggy as hell and the DLC is 10 times worse.

Megaton4788d ago

Yeah, I got a plat in F3, but I got YLoD before the DLC came out. Heard it was way more unstable than the main game, which was pretty bad itself.

colossi164788d ago

I remembered Europe already had a discount on Fallout dlc shortly after ps plus started. I would've purchased all the dlc and get 100% of the trophies. Too bad.
