Just dcecided that i would get the operation achorage DLC so i logged into Windows live and downloaded it. Now how do i get to play it? i started up Fallout 3 and log in to live account and it just show an option to view new content and takes me back to the windows live site (Windows live does show that i downloaded it though)

Any ideas on how i can play this?


Thanks

You just play the game as normal then after a few mins you get a message popup in game telling you about a radio signal and giving you a new quest. Its all accessed ingame. However, you need Fallout3 to be installed on the same drive letter as Windows otherwise it does not work properly. If not remove Fallout3 reboot and reinstall to the Windows drive letter. DLC will remain on your Windows drive it will not get deleted and also keep your save games to preserve progress.

If you have any other technical issues with it go here as MS have staff to help but 99.9% of your answers will be in the GFWL forums:

Got to say im loving these add-ons, but im stuck at work untill 2am. Finished Achorage & Broken Steel but only just started The Pitt (just crossed the bridge, then saved).

I do have a love/hate relationship with this game .....love the stories but the wasteland its self is rather depressing/"i could get attack by anything at anytime" feel. Overall Obvilion had more of a impact with its nice looking scenery & fantasy theme...it was nice to just walk around.
 
Do a search on your pc for all .esp files. Find the right file and make sure it's in the fallout 3 data folder. If not copy it over to there and make a backup copy of the .esp file for future installations.
 
Got it sorted now. To start with i was not getting any sigh of loading new files or anchorage in the downloads section. Did an update and restarted and all ok now. Not played this game since i completed the original story a while back and wow its good to be playing again, got lots to do :)

Thanks for your help.
 
forget playing it that way...download FOSE and FOMM and configure your game using these...its so much better;)

here is what i am using with FOSE and FOMM including all DLC!
with these mods my game is so much harder as it should be and very well balanced...the wasteland is and should be a dangerous place and items should be rare...with these mods i have disabled all the assistance that you get with vanilla.im only on level 13 and i have over 130hrs of play,slower leveleing is better and more balanced as you get to see more of the game before you hit the level cap

Not related to the original issue that i had, but still kinda related....:rolleyes:

I have finished the game like i mentioned above, but are people playing the DLC from there last save before the end of the game?
 
I loaded the DLC (Broken Steel is the one that allows you to play on after the main quest finishes), then went to my save before pushing the buttons. Once you've done that instead of ending you wake up two weeks later and can continue playing.

I see what you getting at but good god think I'd rather play a different game than install 50 odd mods to get it how I want it! :)
 
Question: Ive just finished The Pitt but it seemed really really short (like 90 minutes short) when compared to the 4/5 hour Steal & Anch'.

I got the 'cure' and gave it to the 'good' guy, all the guards try to kill me (but fail) and thats it? Yeah that are some very small side quests but did i miss something????
