I have this same problem, I really hope they can fix this to where we can play where we left off from.

Same issue for me. It's a bit frustrating but, then again, there's no way a company would let this slide. Something will be done as soon as possible, right?


....right?

Did not get the DLC / game save problem until well after "Come fly with me".

I got it while looting stuff from Vault 3, dropping interesting items in my stash in NV, and selling off the rest at Gun Runners. Rinse and repeat 4-5 times and...DLC not found error.

One peculiar thing I noted in "Come fly with me":

Once I delivered items to Harris (or whatever his name is, the man who had delusions of being a ghoul) I got a dialogue thread that led him to head for Novac. Thinking I might get him as a party member, I reloaded and used mentats to boost CH. Several times I tried this, and I couldn't even get the original "Head to Novac" dialogue even after reloading to a point previous. It was like the Novac dialogue was a one-shot deal...or the script broke or something.

Anyway, my $.02

I'm stuck in the Lucky 38 and cant get out! Every time i try to leave the screen goes black and freezes. This is really pissing me off. I have over 20 hours and level 15 no way I'm starting over.

I got the glitch after i talked to chris in "Come Fly With Me" i saved before finishing the quest and it still happened, even without picking up the spacesuit.

I think personally that these are ridiculous circumstances that we're thrown in, waiting forever for a game that doesn't even work half the time i mean come on. I don't mean to sound pompous or anything, but in all the years i've been gaming, never have i seen a game come out with so many issues. I do not think we should be left in the dark like this, and certainly i would expect some compensation for Bethesda's customers that have been so patient with them to fix these issues. Anyone who agrees should respond accordingly to this post.

i agree 100%

I Can Not Agree More.

I have the same problem. It happens after I talk to Jason Bright the second time to tell him that I got rid of all the super mutants in the basment of the Repcon facility. What ever happened to quality control bethesda or should I say Obsidian??!?!

Oh yes, compensation is very much needed. $60 is a lot money. Money that could have been spent ELSEWHERE on something that doesn't require patching. I wouldn't feel like I was bamboozled out of money has it cost about $29.00. But, $60?! And you choose NOT to give me ALL that I paid for? Oh, no, no no! The devil IS a liar! We can't have that!

So, because of this, I will never buy another Obisidian/Bethesda on the day of release. Never again. I will wait at least 4 months before grabbing a copy. There are plenty of companies out there that know how to issue a product to its customers. This is a crying a shame. A pure SHAME! How dare they misuse the money we gave them and all of the support we have given them! Until they get it right and put the customers first using some common sense, they won't get another den dime of my money again. Other people can be foolish and do that if they want to, but Blackessnece won't do that. No sir!

I am thinking that the only 'patch' for this is to take it back to gamestop or wherever and demand money back form them and hope the disdain works it's way up the ladder. It is completely ridiculous that this is happening.

The only thing more crazy is that we are seen as "a small population of 360 users." 100% of my friends that got the game either with or without the DLC have had exact same issue at some point in the game. Many of people on forums have said the same i think thats a large population if you ask me.

1. This is straight bs, i love fallout and they go and rip us off and release this crap of a game. Bethesda makes all this money then charges us for extra content.
2. The game wont even work right. I mean a game is already $60 now we have to pay for content and a game that is not even fallout until this crap is fixed.
3. But other than that i have had no problems, Make a smooth patch and give us some free new content and ill be fine.

:fallout:

just wanted to tell bethesda/obsidian about my problem, too. same as everyone else's: game won't load. almost 24 hours in on hardcoe mode. about to lose hours of progress. kinda pissed. i thought they might have fixed it since i told them about the buggy [censored] that happened to me several times in fallout 3, but i guess they made it worse instead. oops.

I've done the Come Fly With Me quest + 12 hours of game play and yet to see this Bug. Touch wood.

What I really cannot understand is people with 1 or 2 saves and that's it. You get to have 100 saves on the Xbox, use them for christs sake, save every 10 minutes, every time you enter a new area or talk to an NPC and onto a NEW save.

Hell, set an alarm to go off every 10 minutes to remind you to save, no matter what you're doing.


I've played 12 hours, how many saves do I have and how many time have I saved?

100 saves, saved 212 times.

And also, if you are really worried, buy a memory card for the Xbox, have a backup save on to that which you save to every 20 minutes separate to your hard drive.

poor guy, that shouldn't be necessary to just play a game!

I guess i am just going to stop playing and wait for a real fix..might be weeks until it comes out!!!

good thing i have Fable 3 about to come out!

Well its either that or risk losing hours of gameplay because you didn't save enough, or were not smart enough about doing so.

Yeah, I'd read in advance how buggy the game was so I wasn't taking any chances. Have 114 saves in total (on my hard drive and flash drive). Not that it's helped me, can't play until this bug is fixed.
Earlier saves will load fine but after I play for a while and save, that save will become corrupt and unable to load.

I had about 42 saves, and they all one by one down the line just kept corrupting after the first ones corrupted..

one save or 100 saves, they will all be corrupted sooner or later once the process starts it seems..

"On consoles, we are aware that a small group of 360 users are seeing a DLC warning which is preventing you from loading save games. We are absolutely looking into this bug now, along with other reports of save game corruption. It is our highest priority right now that we find out what is causing it. In the meantime, we recommend you save often, and revert to an older save if this occurs."


this is nice to hear but, a small group my ass

Get Over It.

dude, have some empathy

i will not!

Sorry, I never read a label anywhere that states "WARNING: Game is very prone to corrupting save files. Save often so you can reload once your game becomes corrupted, although it won't matter when they all become garbage as well. There is no patch coming so live with it." -Bethesda/Obsidian


I have 1-2 save files because that's all I need when I play a game that doesn't svck [censored]. I hope you enjoy wasting your time saving so much with so little played. Won't do you any good.

HAVE EMPATHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!1!!!

Right, had to join and post this because this game is definitely worth the effort.

Well...

I was doing the Wheel of Fortune quest and had just entered the Fire station. I went up and had just picked up Knock Knock (a unique Fire Axe) and then picked up a Fire helmet, opened my inventory because I had many of them and went to repair them. Because I have Jury Rigger, I accidentally used my glasses to repair it, so I went to reload the auto save (which was literally a minute before) and lone and behold, I get this error.

I restart the xbox. Now all my saves are saying that. I was 45 hours in and at around 197 saves. Did all the recommended suggestions (clear the cache, etc.). No dice.

Of note, I do NOT have any DLC. No pre-order bonuses. I did install the patch which came out the other day, though.

What a waste. What a shame. I really love this game, too.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, sir!
I just grabbed the spacesuit and went to go sell some junk I had in my inventory when this happened! Now I can't load any of my files. I love this game and I love Bethesda, but this bug makes the game unplayable for me. It's especially frustrating after putting ~17 hours into the game.
