Whoops: Broken Steel PC is broken [Update]

Hmm… sounds like it’s the download itself that’s broken this time rather than the content.

Bethesda are pretty clumsy arnt they.

Updated again.

Bathesda are comedy gold when it comes to these DLC updates. This is what, the third time they’ve released buggy/totally unusable DLC. I wouldn’t want to be head of QA at this point.

Trying to update now… should be fun.

PC sucks… again

Yup… exactly the same error as others are getting. Good job numpties.

Looks like those Feral Ghoul QA staff weren’t such a good cost-cutting idea after all.

Not really a good performance. Two broken DLC releases implies some pretty poor QA procedures.

The base game has quite a few nasty bugs to.

@Gekidami: Indeed…

I had a terrible one with Fawkes. He’d been following me around for ages and we were having a great time. Then I went across this raised walkway and into a building and for some reason he didn’t follow me. After a while I went back to see where he’d got to and there he was – hanging from the ceiling with his head stuck in the level geometry. And then he died. And there was nothing I could do about it.

A suicidal super-mutant! Who’d have thought?

I need to go back and play it at some point. I lasted about two hours after the opening section and turned it off.

Once, after leaving the bunker at Fort Bannister and clearing the whole place out of Talon Company mercs (collecting all their goodies, repairing armour and weapons etc etc) when I went through the door back to the capital wasteland, the right stick wouldn’t respond. I could walk around but couldn’t turn or look up or down.

As the game had auto saved I had to go back at least three or so hours to my last manual save, where the right stick magically worked again! Thought it was my pad at first but it was fine with other games. Also got stuck on the scenery a few times and had to reload the Waters Of Life quest because they refused to open the door. Yet despite these it was the most enjoyable adventure game I’ve played in years. Rough diamonds are often the most rewarding!

it’s F3, bugs are a trademark

I still remember the lovely CTD related to ffdshow codec

It’s been removed from the marketplace on the PC now. At least it shows they’re looking at it I suppose.

i haven’t gone back to fallout since the ending pissed me off, now i shall wait a few patches and get back into the wasteland, i think i’ll start from scratch and play as an bastard… a sexy bastard!

I’ve logged 240 hours on Fallout 3 and will play again once all the DLC is out and non-buggy. It is one of the best games I’ve ever played. I used to live in DC for five years so perhaps the game affects me differently than most, I don’t know. Anyway, I’m really surprised that Bethesda has had these problems. I generally trust anything they come out with…. =/

Bethesda’s made a statement. See top.

“PC sucks… again”
The Pitt was only massively bugged on Xbox 360. The PC release was fine, then.
