Latest DLC for Fallout 3 full of glitches, bugs and errors.

March 24, 2009 in News comments 22

As many of you, like me who have bought the DLC already will know that the DLC is extremely bugged and you cannot progress into The Pitt itself because of these bugs. The DLC itself is full of giant floating exclamation marks and when you eventually progress accross the bridge linked to The Pitt and try and enter, your game will just crash on a loading screen.

News is that the English version of the file itself has been somehow corrupted, more info at the source.

"We are continuing to look into the issues people are experiencing with The Pitt for Xbox 360," he added. "We are currently working with Microsoft to remove the existing file off of Live to prevent any further downloads. Our plan is to replace it with a new file as soon as possible."

However, the issues aren't apparently universal, as some say they've experienced no problems. Forumites suggest re-downloading the file and ensuring that the entire 682MB are acquired, as some claim that they only downloaded some 492MB or so.

    Fallout is quite a glitched game anyway man, it's not the sort of game where it particularly bothers you though. Dogmeat decides to take a dive-of-no-return into the briny deep, or you get stuck in a space-warp between the railings in the vault, or walter cant deal with servicing the water plant anymore and takes a leap off megaton's bridge just keep playing. Or be a savvy saver and reload

      That's one thing, but not being able to play the game due to the fact that it does not function at all is quite another

        Yeh thats beyond a little glitch though man, that's probably a fault in the system or a damaged disc or something.

    Everyone's a bit on the hormonal side today, what's there some sort of cosmic event I'm unaware of? If the bloody download is glitched to the point beyond playability, then dont download it, you are now aware, there you go, problem solved.

    I'm talking about the actual tangible game disc that you can hold in your hands. It' been glitched from day one. But if you cant play THAT, then there's something needs fixing. Am I right, or am I right?

      Can't download it, it's been taken down.

      NO game is glitch free.

        No problem then, no worries. It's self-resolved right there.

          What if you already paid for it?

          If you've paid for a download on XBL, you can go back and re-download it at any time.

        Even if games do have glitches this is way over the top, even more so than when Tomb Raider wouldn't allow you to pass a certain level =/

          Yeh man that was my point essentially there. This is beyond a glitch, this must be down to some sort of programming error or such-and-such. But take into account the sheer scope of the fallout world; and these downloadable add-ons, and you have to expect these things, it's human error.

          As for, if you paid for it already; make sure you get your money/product back, you know. If it's got to the point like it has here where it's been recognised and it's universal news, then their reputation is gotta take a big hit if they say "piss off we dont do refunds." or "oh no this is a different download you'll have to pay again". Make sure you get your fair share, you know.

    Seems to be fine, at least on the PC. I've been playing it for the last hour or so and no problems so far.

    We PC users have been spared from this traumatizing event, thankfully.

    You guys shouldn't worry.


    Bethesda has always been good about fixing problems asap.

    At least in my experience.

      Yeah, they mentioned via Twitter they're still working on it and expect to have everything fixed by tomorrow.

        Eh, I dunno. They said that somehow it got corrupted. (likely anyway) But when something is corrupted you delete it and re-upload it. I dunno what there would be to fix? Unless they're just being extra careful, which isn't a bad move.

    Well at least you don't have to repay for it then. Also those *bleep* exclamation marks remind me of a certain PS3 exclusive game with a guy that appears in Brawl.

    Well good thing I had the RRoD and didnt get to download it when this was going on. Fallout 3 is my favorite game ext to Oblivion and I would have been heartbroken if this happened to me. Although if it happened and then I read this, I would have been reassured and continued playing. Im happy that they are trying to keep themselves updated and not procrastinating. Good to know deep down inside.
