Sucks for PC users.

I really need to play more Fallout

Ouch. Bethesda hasn't had the best of luck with this sort of thing.

Will wait another week or two even on the 360 to buy it.

So, hold on, if I haven't beaten the game yet and I play through the game with this DLC activated and get this new ending, do I get the "Take it Back" achievement for beating the game as well? I think it would work like that, but I am not sure if there is an achievement for beating that mission in the DLC pack as well.

I loved Broken Steel. Ran into no issues, bar this achievment thing. But, seriously, Bethesda need to get a new test team.

Welp, I'm glad I got sick of Fallout 3 already. What is it with Bethesda and bugs/broken game sections?

people are having problems with the 360 dlc as well me included.
the game has froze up 4 times since i installed the broken steel dlc, and now it wont load my saves they appear in the memory area of the 360 but ingame they do not appear in the load list, so im deleting the dlc, an the game install, clearing the cache and installing it and downloading the dlc hoping that fixes it.

*sigh* no offense to Bethesda...but they kinda suck! i can't count how many times their games/add on's go out with problems.

i'll wait until the pc version is resolved and then im diving into all 3 dlc packs at once!

This thread is here.

...nah just kidding. I still haven't bought Fallout 3, I'm sure that by the time I do the problems will be fixed...

Wow, HUUUUGE surprise.

Bethesda is getting sloppy with theire dlc

Going to wait a few days until this sorts itself out before picking it up.  Doesn't it sound to you guys like Bethesda is trying to pin this on MS?  They mention DRM issues which MS is supposed to fix and sync issues with the Live servers.  I don't really care who is to blame, as long as it gets fixed quickly.

Bethesda always has great concepts for their games, but their execution is so sloppy. They need to test their stuff more before releasing it.

In the future, Red Bull comes to life.

Bethesda really can't get any luck with the fallout 3 DLC, can they.

I frickin want to play this tonight. Bethesda has really dropped the ball when it comes to DLC for early Oblivion development, and much more so for Fallout 3. Of course it only affects the PC version, this time. And a DRM issue, at that. I want to give you my money, Bethesda. Please, let me.

Its even worse then this... far worse... the 1.5 Patch required to use the DLC will pretty much fuck up any mods you might use. AFAIK basically any mod placed objects will crash the game the 2nd time they are loaded, so the only way to keep the game running is to have them permanently loaded no matter where in the game you are, which does horrible, HORRIBLE things to your performance. Also mod npc skins are screwed up. Thread on the bethesda forums is here
http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=986090 .

Considering Bethesda still haven't fixed the problems the 1.4 patch brought (VATS targetting messed up in many ways), PC used are pretty much SOL with the new patch/DLC unless you want to give up all of the nice mods.

"The Xbox Live servers don't seem to be fully synched yet with the additional achievements,"

Wow, they are really trying hard to blame Microsoft for the DLC being broaken. If it were any other company then that might seem reasonable but since its Bethesda it just looks liket they are blaming someone else for their ineptitude to make shit work properly. No other DLC have had theese kinds of isues that ive heard of, and twise in a row for the same game, its just proves that its all on the developer and not the service its on.

Bethesda might be the worst awesome developer there is.

I guess we could even go as far as to say that Broken Steel is BROKEN!  LOLZ!

I'm wondering if Bethesda even has a QA department...

What the hell is wrong with Bethesda? All 3 of the DLC add-ons have come out busted. Are they so determined to hit their release dates that they just rush these things out unfinished?

And a new generation learns about Bethsoft's version of the open beta.

its M$'s fault.

360 version is working fine for me so far, even got an achievement.

I think Bethesda scheduling DLC releases caused this problem, they had to rush to meet specific dates.

...again?...I feel sorry for the people who buys these DLC's.

OA worked just fine for me, and this I just bought today and(so far) has been working perfectly.  I don't know about The Pitt yet, I bought it today as well but haven' gotten into it yet.

I think the real cause of all of this is that "Shit happens."  In Bethesda's case, it happens a lot.

Where is the fuse to start the train? pm me please.

Bethesda has the worst consistency issues of any video gaming company I've ever seen.

Well that's really too bad.

I bought Op: Anchorage and enjoyed it, yet it wasn't really more of what I really loved about the game. I heard the Pitt is but I put off getting it because of all the issues and just haven't yet. So I doubt I will be grabbing this any time soon.

They never "fixed" The Pitt. I turned it on last night when I downloaded Broken Steel, the frame rate is awful, sound bugs and then the game crashed. Hopefully this won't carry over to the main Fallout 3.

The sad thing is no major gaming site is going to call them on their constant releasing of unfinished games and "DLC".

I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to the involvement of the DRM shit that they think is useful. That shit hurts people who actually buy the software, but the pirates have none of these issues because the DRM is removed from their copies. You have all heard this statment neumerous times, I just wish the devs would refuse to impliment this crap. Refuse DRM, its hurting the industry more than piracy ever did.

it should of been called "broken content" that would of been more right.

I finished the DLC on my 360 this afternoon.  The only weird thing that's happening on that end is that it's not showing the 3 level 30 achievements.  My achievements shows that I've completed them all but those 3 are greyed out.  Weird.  I enjoyed the add on content quite a bit.  The Tesla Cannon is sick.  I replayed Pitt and did Broken Steel and only got to level 27.  I'm debating on replaying Operation Anchorage and seeing if that would put me close to 30 cause I've got 160 hours in and I'd hate to have to start over again just to get the last 3 achievements.

What I did to make sure I don't lose any of the achievements for BS was to simply create a save file right before I completed a mission and right before getting level 30 achievements. That way even if the achievements earned don't get updated when the servers do (right now when I go to the dashboard, my achievements listing for Fallout 3 still says 1180/1200 rather then 1310/1350, which is what it should be) I can just load those saves and get the achievements again in a few minutes.

Bet it'll be broken

360 version works just fine

How long do you think I'll have to wait to get a GotY edition on the PC with all the DLC bundled in?

thank god a major website has actual proof there gona fix it i was gettin pissed about this
