I can't install DLC from a digital download due to crc error

Post » Sat Jul 28, 2012 12:46 pm

Hey guys, I am having some serious issues with my Fallout 3 GOTY edition I bought off Gamefly. Initially I download and install the base game for Fallout 3 from the client. This works perfectly fine and I can play the game with no problems. However, Gamefly then asks me to download an update which is 2gb, which is the DLC. I can download it fine but when it comes to the installation it comes up with a CRC error for all the pieces of DLC.

I have no idea how to fix it. I have reinstalled countless times, change the file location, ran a hard drive check and nothing seems to work.

I have not entered the product code on windows live yet as I may try and get a refund if it does not work. I presume this would not be a problem, so if it is please let me know.

I am running windows 7 64 bit with an amd 955X4 black edition and a 2GB 6960.

If anyone knows a fix I would appreciate it greatly as I am stuck on what to do. Thank you

CRC errors mean the files are missing data. Basically they check to make sure all the data is there, and when it isnt, its a CRC error. So the fix is a simple redownload.

If the problem persists, then I suggest you contact Gamefly, as it may be an issue with the files on their end.

Thank you for the reply. I have redownloaded all the files many times to no avail. I have also been in touch with support so we will see if they can help me fix the issue.
