how to activate dead money?

Post » Tue Dec 29, 2009 6:17 pm

Hello
I just purchased dead money for ps3. There was only one option, "French/English," so I don't think the issue is whether I picked the right one. My problem is I don't know how to start the quest. I've been running around the wasteland for some time now, and I have yet to pick up any radio signal. I've read that after an hour of game-time you're supposed to pick up the signal, and also I've read that you can just go straight to the BoS bunker, but I can't find it. Apparently it's south of Forlone Hope but I can't find it. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

EDIT : I am level 25 and I have pretty much beaten the game, although my save is before going to hoover dam.

Check your "Downloads" section of the main menu.

You may have bought and downloaded it, you will still need to install it from the PS3 main menu, under games.

If that's not your problem, try heading to Hidden valley, Goodsprings, or any locations in the general area around Nipton. It should tell you that "Dead Money has been added," and you will get the radio signal.

Hope I helped.

I have installed it from the main menu like you suggested, but still nothing. I have restarted my console and I am in the Nipton area. I may try to redownload it from the ps3 store. After it completes installation just proceed to select play Fnv and load current save correct? Also it's still not showing up in the main Fnv screen under "downloaded content," although my classic pack does register and is listed. Any more advice? thanks

EDIT : tried loading another char, level 17 and still nothing. This is after installing it twice now. under games, "Fallout DLC" appears in the game data utility screen.

Well I've downloaded it three times now, still not registering. I levelled my character though and got the explorer perk, so that will keep me occupied for a while. Still, I am very disappointed with this situation. Tired of jumping through hoops because of my addiction to the fallout series. First the appalling bugs on the ps3 version and now this. Needless to say I will phone playstation or bethesda or whoever to get my refund, but I reeeeally wanted to play this. :brokencomputer:

EDIT : I finally realized my problem is I'm a Canadian with a collector's edition, therefore the codes don't match up. Mods feel free to delete this thread.
