docprice Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I have the newest update for the orginal game and I have downloaded Broken Steel from Windows live client. I have a couple of different saved game files that have an already completed main storyline quests. I can not get it to work. After i activate Project pureity i die due to the raidiation. main storyline quest. After that it goes into the end game naritive and then cradits. After the credits are done it returns to the main menu screen. where do i go from here. I click on continue but it takes me to my save just before i activate project pureity. Main game has a .esm file and operation Anchorage has a .esm file but im not seeing one for Broken steel. dose it have one? if you guys could please help me out thank you. Rick. update. After some extensive reading it looks like Broken Steel dose have an .esm file. But for some reason after downloading the game from Windows Live client i didnt get the .esm file. My account says that its downloaded and installed but its not showing up in my FOMM. this is a head ache. any suggestions welcomed. thank you.

Wandik Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 downloaded content is sometimes stored elsewhere, not in FO3\Data folder... try to search for *.esm through your pc. I bet you will find it in GFWL folder :) or maybe somewhere else... just do the search, and then move all files into Data folder of FO3, overwrite *.bik movie files, and enable esm in FOMM or FO3 launcher. if you install BS correctly, you will see message ingame, about raising level cap to 30... i don't know, how it works for older saves though... never had one :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overload1977 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Downloadable Content help frist off how did you install the pitt or broken steel ect with the exe ? if yes this dose not work its gets messed up you will have to find the file and put there in your data folder like mods like this Note this is not officially supported by Bethesda, it is provided here only as a work around for folks who do not want to use GFWL. And, make sure you move the files, not copy them. Move the files into the Data folder instead of the Live location it gets placed in. You need to move the ESM (ESP?) and both the BSA files. Make sure you have "Show Hidden Files" checked off, or you won't be able to see the folder. For XP: You can make this change in any Windows Explorer window by going to Tools Menu, Folder Options, View Tab and about 4 options down, under Hidden Files, choose Show Hidden Files. Note, this change will allow you to see System Files and other things that are best not messed with, so you may want to undo this change after moving the file. For Vista: 1) Open Windows Explorer (not the browser, the one showing your hard drive etc)2) Top left corner, you'll see an "Organize" button. Clicky3) Go to the Folders and Search Options choice, which will bring up a new window4) Select the View tab5) About eighth item on the list is Show Hidden Files and Folders. Select Show Hidden Files6) Apply, OK7) Do whatever needs to be done Repeat, but select Hide Hidden Folders thumbsup.gif XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC Vista: C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\DLC NOTE; If you get CTD's when firing up the Simulator, you need to rename the DLC folder, or remove it. This stops the attempt to contact GFWL about Achievments Move them to C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data If you are using a shortcut to the Fallout executable to launch the game, you will have to use the Fallout Launcher to select the Mod before you load the game. Once it is selected you can then use the executable shortcut to play the game hope this helps if you need more info get back to me Broken Steel help Instructions Place the bik files into your Fallout3 \data\video folder.Place the bsa and esm files into your Fallout 3 \data folder.Activate the files in the Fallout 3 Launcher.Play the game! if you click my guide there is more info there click on my sig :) How to install mods for fallout 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
