so iv'e run into this dlc error on new vegas. everywhere i look for a solution a lot of people are talking about this patch that will be available for download which should fix the problem. what about people like me who don't have xbox live? i'm living in university dorms and as far as i know we are not allowed things like xbox live, so what the hell do i do? i can't believe that's the only solution! have obsidian forgotten that a great number of people who have xboxs dont have xbox live, or an internet connection in general? i find it very hard to believe that for people in my present situation are unable to play this game, ever.

bring your xbox somewhere where there is an internet connection, plug in and update, done

Also I haven't heard of a college campus yet that doesn't have internet access in the dorms. Why would they care if you are using Xbox Live? How would they even know what you use that interent connection for?

sounds great, gotta wait till christmas then cuz thats when i can go home. oh well thanks for replying

just in time for this patch

we do have internet connection, but they limit it to one laptop per dorm room, some kind of proxy settings or something. i dont know why they care but they do.

Couldn't you use that internet connection to log into Live and update? Even if it's a wireless connection there is an adaptor for the old 360 and the new one has built in wireless.

we don't have wireless, only ethernet. however what if i have an ethernet cable from the thingy in the wall to my laptop and then another one from my laptop to my xbox? would that work? im quite rubbish at these things

I would look at the settings in the laptop. If it's DHCP then just unplug the ethernet from your laptop and plug it into the Xbox. If they are using the MAC address, maybe find a router and clone the MAC address of your laptop and then plug in both the laptop and Xbox. It seems kind of silly that they would only allow one laptop but it's their network and their rules.

thanks, i'll give that a try. yeah it is kind of stupid, i don't know why they would have to ration internet. the internet here is always down and i can never do my work because computers are our main learning resources and they constantly break down. i dont want to say that its because we're in wales but i've never experienced this in england before, or any other country. thanks for the replys!

good question,

i have the game, but don't have an internet connection.
my parents don't want internet.
i have internet on my school, but i am not going to bring the xbox to school.( don't think my parents would like that to )

what can i do when the patch is for download ?

Do you have any friends?

i have but my parents don't want me to get the new xbox out of the tv cabinet it is not mine, it is the xbox of the whole family

and also,

why do i need internet ?
i bought a game, and i want to play it without problems...
my father don't buy a car with out 2 tires....
and that is what we think about it now.

i want to update it so i can play it normal...
without the save game problems.

Your father doesn't buy a car thinking he'll never have to get it repaired either. Nothing is perfect.Find an internet connection somewhere just like your dad found a mechanic.

okey so i need an internet connection to get the update ,when it update gome out
else i have bought a game i can throw in the carbidge ?

SWEET thanxs gamesas

A lot of games companys do this.


It's the price of having consoles that have internet connections. On the other hand its also a plus to have that internet connection, as before if a game was bugged, that was it. No fixie.

Find a friend with a good internet connection and take you xbox over to get the patch, thats really the only option.

Got some decent cell phones? with an evo you can create an adhoc network and broadcast and internet connection. Just need a wireless adapter for your xbox if you don't have one. As long as you have an unlimited data plan you can do that with most of the newer smart phones. Actually you can do it with any phone but with older ones you might need a few to tie in a decent connection.

And get the new dashboard update whilst they're at it. :celebration:

i thought xbox and ps3 had the same cababilities of downloading to a usb drive from a pc and then installing it on the console? i'd be amazed if you couldn't do this on xbox...you can on the ps3...

the new dash... i can download it from the microsoft website and burn it to disc of usb stick.

i have bought a buggy game perfect...
i am stuck with it... hope they wil bring later a GOTY with some extensions so i have a good disc
they have known this and still sold the game, and now i am stuck with a bad disc.....
not good.....

and the sollution of just plug it in and stop [censored]ing is nog good enough.

I WANT A GOOD GAME

its a real shame this game is so buggy because its so enjoyable. Ive had to loose hours of gameplay already, tho I did find a work around while still completing debt collector, though i shouldnt have to pray to obsidian that my save file doesnt corrupt. i will continue playing i guess..

okey long time not been here.

because why do i need to be here ???
i have a question en they say do you have friend...
get yout xbox to somone else...

WHY I ??? I WANT A GOOD GAME....

what i did is : bought me a usb -> xbox hdd transfer cable.
got a first new vegas update from another hdd, copied in mij xbox hdd and i am done.

THANXS FOR NONE OF YOUR GOOD HELP
i hope a new update will be there for the save games.

then i do the same
