Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Bethesda's DLC's... Sigh

Alright. So today, I'm thinkin' it would be nice to pop in my overused game of Fallout 3 and log some hours as my level 30 Devil Incarnate while bopping around in a swamp location. Sounds like fun. So I decide to pop the game in and I load up my character. I haven't played her in awhile, so I decided to take a quick moment to readjust myself to her playing style, blasting away mobs of... well everything with her Vegence gatling laser untill it struck me.

Where the hell is Point Lookout?

I look around on my world map, no new locations. I look around on my quest list, No new quests. So I'm thinking, ok this is wierd. I check my download history. Low and behold. Point lookout is there. I check my harddrive. It's already installed neatly in it's fallout 3 location. So where the heck did it go?

I'm currently in the process of re-downloading point lookout in what I believe to be a nigh-worthless endevour at this time. Bethesda's DLCs have been a long list of all bark and no bite when it comes to delievery. Out of 4 DLC's, I have had issues with 3 of them.

  • The Pitt refused to run properly, textures and objects in the Pitt were messed up and the game was nigh unplayable. I had to redownload and reinstall to get it to work properly.
  • Broken Steel messed up my achievements, requiring me to uninstall, perform a gamertag lookup and then redownload and reinstall.
  • Point Lookout simply disappeared.

This is not a common occurance amongst DLC. Infact, I download DLC for a vast majority of my games. But only Bethesda's games have this issue. Both Oblivion and Fallout 3 have given me a immense amount of stress over getting their DLCs to actually work.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so. How did you fix it? Should I call up 4myxbox and get a refund?

Yeah, I have. I Downloaded a update and tried to ReDownload it again. Got a ERROR 80004004 when I tried to download it again.

Also, I've been getting funny messages saying "Saved file is not compatible with the current version of Fallout 3. Some items and objects may not appear"

That's what happens when you delete DLC that has data in it your save file needs.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Maybe the common denominator is the user? Not meaning to be offensive, but I have not heard of anyone having the problems you are having.
