After taking a week long break from my PS3, i got a itch to wander the Mojave again. But when i tried to load my last saved game, i got this message:

This save relies on content that is no longer available.

I checked the add-on content list at the main menu and it's not there anymore. I checked my Game Data Utility and it's there but it's not showing up in game.

If i erase the DLC from the Game Data Utility, will i be able to reinstall the pre-order content and continue my saved game? Will my system even accept the code since it was already used once?

The pre-order content is stored in the downloads section of your PSN account in the store just like any other DLC you've downloaded. No code should be required.

Go to Account Management on the XMB, then Transactions, and Download List to redownload the add-on

Ya...it's in the downloads section in the PS Store. Anything you ever downloaded is stored there for future use.

I'm amazed you were able to play through 7 times. I'm locked out of the strip on only my very first playthrough...and I'm not even level 20 yet. Every time I try to enter the strip my PS3 freezes and I have to restart.

At least a patch is coming soon. Hopefully I'll be able to play more after it gets here.
