Allright, its not my first time playing a fallout game and frustration isnt uncommon. But I payed 60 bucks for a game I thought would work. Ok to the point and problem. During the Fly with me quest. I tried to save the game. Im a perpetual saver, say a super mutant smashes my head, I typically dont get set that far back, well I tried to load up today and recieved a message that said something to the effect that, "The Current save file you are trying to load uses DLC that is no longer available." Im thinking its talking about the classic pack from gamestop that I downloaded. Well after tinkering ingame I realized this happens only after talking to Jason to tell him the "demons"-NightKen have left. If anyone has any insight as to why its happening, how to fix it or anything at all please post.

I prefer the term, Meta Human.

Read the other threads.

This is a common game breaking bug. It even happens to people who don't even have DLC yet.

Hasn't happened to me yet but i've only just got the game.

Unfortunately, you were hit with the bug that most of us have. Our save files are corrupted and there's no news whether or not we'll ever be able to get them back. Bethesda says to go back to a prior save but who's to say it won't just happen again?

Even if a patch is made available, who knows when it will be put on live. I'm tempted to sell back my copy on ebay or maybe see if gamestop can buy it from me. I'd rather have a working game, even if the broken one is one of my favorite franchises.

everytime i boot up the game im hoping for the update message, still nothing....

Well Im glad hell is crowded then, and im not the only one going through this. I got an update this morning, but it still says the same thing after talking to Jason Bright. You know, I would have been willing to wait a month, hell may be a year, for this game if they had properly shook out all the bugs before shipping out. Honestly, I would rather play FO3 now instead of New Vegas. That and Im starting to hate ghouls. Stupid Jason Bright, great journey my smooth skin ass.

I did, and a lot of them werent being to specific about the problem they were haveing. I was trying to see if anyone was haveing the same problem on the same mission etc. But yeah I did go throught others peoples posts before throwing mine out.

Patch is out, didnt fix my problem though, but im sure they're some realy happy person out there, or more angry people not sure about it.

Yep. Same deal pretty universally across the board. I did some more testing, and it in fact happens consistently right after you go back to Jason Bright and tell him that the basemant is cleared out. My solution, temporarily, was to just leave that quest for now. The first patch, released either yesterday night or this morning, hasn't resolved the issue.

Incidentally, I walked out of Helios One for the first time after talking to Fantastic and the Follower of the Apocalypse that's there, and an invisible Old Lady Gibson, all of her visible dogs, and a pile of invisible junk spawned around me - when I tried to save after that, it actually froze the console. More fun stuff is going on!

Thank you. Thats what I wanted to know. I think I'll just play MOH and wait for fable III to come out. Hopefully by then.... they will have patched the friggin game thoroughly! I was also hopeing some one would have a jurry rigged solution like, do this that and the other, and you'll avoid the game crashing. Oh well thanks anyway.

yeah happened to me at the same spot but even if you do open up a previous save it will still happen down along the game. i loaded a save an hour before that and went fine but then saved again after another mission and again it happens. but this time i didn't have another save to fall back on so now i'm looking at a $64 paper weight, hopping they bring out this patch soon. Does anybody know how much is the buyback for this game at GAMESTOP. I'm giving it till FABLE III comes out, if it still doesn't work ill just trade it in. Why keep this around if its not going to work???????
