DLC conflicts with saves!?

Yep there are spoilers




Well I have recently aquired this lovley game which I have sunk about 20 or so hours into. However I was doing a quite intresting quest it has to do with the Great Journey, ghouls and spaceships! (can't remeber the exact name i raged pretty bad.) well towards the very end when Jason is giving the speech towards all his little messed up cult friends I decide to save and mess around with Chris. I saved shot chris in the back of the head, at that point Jason cryed what have you done! I then realized they wheren't going to get in there spaceships, so I decide to reload the save (bad idea i guess). when I loaded up the game It gave me a message telling me I did not have the required DLC! It told me i could load anyways so I did. Then it told me again i did not have the required DLC, then promptley delivered me back to the start up screen of the game. I have five saves all of the saves are when I was doing the quest. I tried every save to no avail!

I honestly am incredibly outrage for I will have to start a entire new game again. I would love to know some sort of "Quick Fix" however I cannot see one. And to be completly honest if i did in someway trigger DLC thats on the CD making it I will ahve to buy DLC to get my saves i ain't picking up anthor Bethesda game again thats just unneccesary money gouging

Also I have the Xbox360 version fully patched.

Clear cache get the patch again then try loading the game
If on Steam use file check stability system to makes sure everything is in order

Also spoiler wrap that stuff!

Good thing I already did that quest!

While that's super lame, its Obsidian's fault not Beth's.

Not sure if you saw this but they are looking for a fix.

On consoles, we are aware that a small group of 360 users are seeing a DLC warning which is preventing you from loading save games. We are absolutely looking into this bug now, along with other reports of save game corruption. It is our highest priority right now that we find out what is causing it. In the meantime, we recommend you save often, and revert to an older save if this occurs.

You can clear your cache on the 360. Just go to your memory, clear cache, sign into live, download patch again.

You can clear cache on the 360

(Go to the system blade and then select memory.

Press Y on the HD symbol and then press X,X,Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X,X. Once you do this a messsage will appear saying: Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage devices?

Performing this function will also clear any software updates)

Hahaha so they basically gave away an unintentional DLC confirmation. Even though everyone and their mother knows a DLC is coming out. Cha-Ching $$$$$$$$$$$

didn't want to start a new thread about this as i'm sure there's more then enough about glitches as it is. Just got this glitch, only about 7 hours in (been sick since tuesday,horrible timing i know) and was going through this same quest (Come Fly With Me). saved right before i handed over the desired items to Chris in case there was something else i could do before the quest was over, and sure enough there was something i wanted to right before the quest ended, so i tried to load the file back up and waddyaknow...apparently i needed DLC to continue on...then it folwed that up w/ a message saying it could not find my storage device. so it took me back to the main menu.

not here to whine, but as you can guess it is a huge inconvenience. i only had 2 save files and neither of them will load now, both giving me the same 2 messages and now i have to start a new game, but who's to say it doesn't happen to that game too? i think i'll wait until they patch this. up until that point, i really hadn't stumbled upon any clear bugs/glitches. for what it's worth i was REALLY enjoying the game so far, i was finally feeling better and was ready to "immerse" my self in the Fallout universe so this glitch is a bummer
