Surprise, Fallout 3′s New DLC Is Broken

10:00PM May 5, 2009 | Luke Plunkett

Seems that Fallout 3′s latest piece of trouble-plagued downloadable content, Broken Steel, has launched broken. Least, it is on PC. Shocking, I know.

A ton of people keen enough to install the game as soon as it went live this morning have been met with the following message:

Not a cryptographic message or the cryptographic message is not formatted correctly. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009200D)

And then the thing won’t work. Bethesda say they’re looking into it, but, well, as someone who hasn’t been able to play Fallout 3 on PC at all (it just won’t stop freezing on the menu screen), this is all getting a bit depressing.

I found the funniest thing, the price for this on GFWL when I look wasn’t 800, it was -2,147,483,648, I haven’t downloaded it, I’ll wait till it’s fixed
