Fallout Broken Steel PC is broken

Tuesday 5-May-2009 12:25 PM More DLC woes for Bethesda

Bethesda just can't get a break; Angry Fallout 3 fans are reporting that the PC download for just-released DLC pack Broken Steel is corrupted, meaning nobody can play it.

After downloading the DLC through Games for Windows - Live players are greeted with an "Install of item Broken Steel Failed", message, official forum users report.

The mishap comes at a bad time for Bethesda, as it saw massive fan outcry when the last DLC release, The Pitt also failed to work properly upon releasing on Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 version is said to be unaffected.

We're awaiting comment on the situation from Bethesda, but to be fair the blame probably lies on the GFW authentication side...

i get the 'broken' part of the name, but what is the 'steel' part supposed to mean?

Broken Steel is the name of the DLC.

So, what else is new?

Sorry about that comment, but somehow I am not surprised that Bethesda are again experiencing problems with their DLCs. Remember Oblivion and the Unofficial Patches (and all of the bugs fixed by them)?

Not a big surprise but also no big deal. Bethesda's games are abundant in bugs but they always make sure these bugs are sorted out by releasing patches and fixes. I am confident it will be dealt with very soon. Much much better than that crap called GTA IV which is unplayable from the boxed case itself where the entire RAGE engine is a terrible nightmare to run on mid end PCs.
